Today’s podcast is a review of a new perspective of love which I came across within the last year. It’s from an author named Anthony De Mello. His view is one which seemingly clashes with some preexisting societal notions of love, but I really think it holds a lot of truth. Perhaps you will, too. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a heavy one. The concept of death is often a hard one for all of us to effectively make sense of. It’s scary and frequently framed as a frightening thing to not discuss or ponder. I argue for an alternate view here, along with offering a personal experience I have had in which I have applied this alternative view. Perhaps you’ll be touched by it and resonate. I sure hope so. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a nice conversation I had with a good friend of mine. We got into all sorts of things, like being a romantic, what we hope life looks like in ten years, how we treat older people in society, and much more. I hope you enjoy it and find some nice gold nuggets inside. As always, thanks so much for listening. It means a lot. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a slightly rushed one, but I think it articulates some of the details of my everyday process. Despite our circumstances at a given moment and our previous choices, we have the chance to look at where we stand to identify what the next best step is. We can’t always do everything, and that’s okay. We can do at least something though, which is something that helps me to be aware of and upon which I can act. I hope you find the message to be valuable and easy to understand. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a short one, but it’s very vulnerable and open. The last week hasn’t been easy for me. Hard moments are hard; what a surprise. But I can’t run away from it. I need to look at it all as it is and sit with it, despite how uncomfortable and miserable it can be to be in this state. Perhaps you can relate. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast surfaces a them that came up in a conversation with a friend recently. Telling ourselves the truth is a powerful practice. When we hear this, we often think about a more humbling, and perhaps humiliating, truth. However, the honesty I’m talking about in this episode is a more uplifting one. One that goes against catastrophization and toward uplifting ourselves. I hope you find the message to be meaningful and helpful. Thanks a lot for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
