How do we celebrate the 4th of July when we don’t feel so patriotic? Nettie shares a candid reflection on her confusion and resolution of how to proudly fly the flag of freedom, Justice and Mercy.

We love and honor our fathers today, and Nettie shares some of her memories, and just how memories, good and bad help us chart our own stories.

Nettie needs a break from the sad world and shares with you some ways to bring a little joy and light into your hearts. Share some Sweet Memories with those you love.

Nettie shares the lyrics to the song, “We Shall Overcome: We Will Rise Again,” which she used in last week’s video and SermoNettie entitled, “Thoughts and Prayers.” The significance of the song was enhanced after she read a poem written by the mother of Aimerie, killed in the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Together, the songs encourage us to refuse to be silent and instead, scream and be loud in proclaiming, Love Will Rise Again!

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS???!!!

First we SCREAM, next we CRY! NOW we cry out for ACTION!

From a raw and vulnerable place of anger and outrage, my character, Nettie, discusses how giving “Thoughts and Prayers” in times of crisis requires a commitment to action and a desire to enable change.

Though this is my character, my muse, this is all me.

NEXT WEEK WE WILL TALK ABOUT HOW THE SONG AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO HAS SOOTHED MY HEART AND EMPOWERED ME TO TAKE ACTION WITH LOVE!

Having trouble feeling the joy? Nettie explains how to be proactive by wishing others Joy, even when we aren’t feeling it ourselves. Wishing Joy to others brings Joy right back to us!

Maya Angelou said to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud! 

Spread your JOY!

Nettie conducts a whimsical interview with her old friend Lesta, a member of the St. Pious United Daughters of the Saints (S.P.U.D.S.) of St. Pious United Methodist Church.  Lesta, a second career pastor of a small church, shares what brings her joy and how she shares her gifts.

For more giggles, be sure to check out Season 1, Episode 47, where Nettie interviews Millie, another member of SPUDS and a life long friend.  

Are you leaking Joy?  What's the answer to stopping the tears and the sadness.  How does one just pick themselves up when feeling sad?  Nettie shares her own story to help you find the way of Joy.

A few years ago a letter went viral on social media.  That letter was from Einstein to his daughter and touched the hearts of many.  Nettie was deeply touched by it and immediately decided to do a podcast based on it. Nettie soon learned that Snopes does not believe it was written to his daughter but does not have proof that it wasn't written to someone else. Nettie shares it anyway –– just the thought that Love could be proven to be, by science, the most powerful force in the universe, is mind-boggling and beautiful at the same time.  It's what Nettie believes anyway, and would challenge Snopes to prove her wrong.  Be the Light!

Nettie is on a little Easter Vacay and busy playing with her grandson.  So, today we go way back to the second episode from Season 1 to revisit Nettie’s answers to three very important questions. These are the same 3 questions Andy Richter asks his guests with every interview on his own podcast: Where do you come from? Where are you going? What have you learned?
