Barnabas - I need one! Today, I stand with you as a Barnabas. Who was he? What was he about? Listening to this episode, will shed some light as to why I believe he was one of those hidden servants who encourage others to be faithful in life. I am thankful for every Barnabas that has come my way. Share with someone else who needs a Barnabas today.

I try to be the #GrandmotherOnline for my grands. Afterall, they are a large part of my legacy. Sometimes their thinking tests me. It was too early in the morning for this test... #NanaPassedThisTest I was bewildered by this one. To hear what happened the second week, listen to episode "Reflect - Turn the Page."

People seem to have two things: an appetite and an opinion (perspective).  That is an old saying of my grandmother about people in general. She had a viewpoint, a philosophy, and an outlook on people that hold.  What is your perspective about life?  Does it affect your actions? Share your view after listening to this episode on Gardenia's Garden Podcast.

One of the topics that I discuss in my book is Proverbial Wisdom. It is one of the repeated themes in the book. One of the lessons that I speak about comes from my maternal grandmother. Her sayings were tied to life, like many wise women of her times. So today, I want to share her expression, “Don’t let your ear be a trash can for others.”  In this episode, "heal the ear."

I am a person who has always loved to learn and explore.  I love connecting to people and listening to music.  It is my hope that you will travel with me through topics and create a special place for inspiring, reflecting, and celebrating as we have conversations and listen to amazing music.  This is a weekly show.  So, let's chat and inspire others along the journey.
