Often, I wish I could wave a wand, and give a friend exactly what they need in that moment to solve a problem, to offer a break from reality, or a moment to heal. Unfortunately, I've never acquired a magical wand. So, I'm looking for the next best thing. Let's play with a mix of the imagination and the power of words. · Following the first portion of this episode, a friend gave me a gift beyond measure.

When life turns stressful or I just need a break, reveling in the music of the moment, I step into my imagination and visit one of my happy places. In this episode, I take you on a bit of a tour through a couple of my faves.

Where is your happy place? Is it real or imaginary? What does it feel like, smell like, look like? Who's there with you? Will you take me there with your words?

SeekingPlumb brings the thinky & Georgie Dee brings the spice, as they ponder Anchor, audio, language, & communication.

Scientists are mapping the connections between our brain cells. If successful, they will "uncover the basis of personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and..." more. Other scientists are developing an artificial womb, while yet others are cloning primates in such a way that will allow for the incorporation of CRISPR gene-editing. In light of all of this, I ponder what it means to be me.

Perceptions, our ecology, the language we use, and the stories we tell; these have all been churning in my mind not only in how we communicate but in how we face conflict. But then, I'm reminded that these things and the conclusions I've come to, really apply to any form of communicatio. Which seems obvious, after the fact.

Continued conversation on the topic of gun violence, but now we get into mental health. We also discuss whether a 19-year-old is a boy or man. I ask questions regarding personal responsibility vs others being responsible for us. We touch on racism and surprisingly, even the #MeToo Movement.

This episode includes more of the gun violence conversation we've had over recent days. From the #CeaseFire movement in Baltimore, to universal Health Care, to somehow communicating with individuals like the NRA elite. Next episode, the gun violence & mental health.

Three days after the high school mass shooting in Florida, and things were proceeding as per usual. Frustrated, I attempted to find a different approach to this massive issue. A first step in a major undertaking. From there, the conversation moved into the topic of mental health, the possibility of using psych evals, and the potential consequences of going that route plus more. In the meantime, the youth determined and are planning a far less complicated & more immediate "solution."

Does morality hamper our ability to truly live? Is morality a cage that sickens and weakens us? How, when, and why did morality come to be? By the end of the episode, my views on morality's purpose and existence had shifted.

"Less is more." This phrase is supposedly the basis for the Limor name, but is it entirely accurate? I go on to list some of the features I love or hate on each platform. Plus a call from MoMacAttack.
