On this episode I talk about the importance of listening to your body. If your body is telling you to get some rest, rest! What use are you trying to "get after it" with 0 energy? Why give a 50% effort in everything you do when you can recharge your battery and give 100% to everything later? Today I got some rest and it felt great! If you need rest, I suggest you get some and don't beat yourself up for it and as always appreciate the blessings!

On this episode I talk about needing to have a string chin which is a boxing term for being able to take a punch because every now and then life is gonna punch you in the face and test your faith sometimes your hit from 3 different sides at once and if you retreat to fear and worry and doubt and lose hope when that happens your situation can easily spin out of control and you can really dig yourself in a hole. Yesterday I talked about how blessed I am and how God continues to show up in my life and I specifically mentioned how my daughter Mali hadn't had a seizure in months after that first scare a few months ago and a couple hours after I went home from recording that podcast Mali had her second seizure and I find myself taking that punch so much better than I did 2 months ago. This time I wasn't nearly as mad at God my faith wasn't really shaken at all, I knew in my heart we are going to be ok and that this situation is in Gods hands. I was grateful to be there when it happened and we gave her the medicine, went to the hospital in the ambulance and she went home several hours later and now she has to take a medication to prevent them from happening in the future but in this circumstance I realized my faith is growing which is something I pray for that maybe I shouldn't pray for but I see how God is working in my life and strengthening my chin and I pray the next time life punches you in the face is doesn't cause you to flee God but to lean into Him and know that He still has you. Knowing God doesn't mean that you won't face challenges in life it means you wont face the alone because He is there with you. I hope you get something out of this tho it's really hard to hear because I stupidly walked to the beach today and the wind makes a lot of this pretty much impossible to hear but hopefully you get something, I'll definitely be smarter next time. I hope you have a great day and as always appreciate the blessings!

On this episode I talk about how helpful it can be to turn around and look at how far you've come and celebrate the progress. When you are taking baby steps everyday you might not realize how far you've come until you take a second to look at the progress you've made but when you do it can really help encourage you and give you hope for the future. I hope this message touches you and as always appreciate the blessings!

On this episode I talk about my funnystyle faith. SO often in my life God comes through for me and you'd think I'd have incredible faith but so often I find myself unsure if God will show up in my life rather than expecting Him to. On this episode I share a story that happened to me yesterday that made me really look at myself like bruh why is your faith so funnystyle when God keep showing up for you in your life. I think when your find yourself being doubtful it might be helpful to take some time to remember and talk about all the  situations in your life that you thought were hopeless that worked out and acknowledge that is was God and remember what that felt like and start to feel those feelings again and expect God to show up again in your current situation. 

On this episode I talk about the gift that is the present. So often we find ourselves stressing about the future, anxious about whats coming next in our day or stressing about the problems of tomorrow or worse harboring resentment and unforgiveness from something that happened in the past that we have no power to change. The best feeling in the world is simply being present being in the moment you are in and realizing that you have everything you need because you are in His presence. Seek first the kingdom of God and everything else will fall into place. Take 5 minutes today to go to that place where you are present with God and present in the blessing of the moment and bak in the ambience of that piece within. Give thanks and as always appreciate the blessings!

On this episode I talk about refusing to lose due to a lack of effort. There are very few things in life we are actually in complete control of and effort is absolutely one of those things we CAN control and so often it's the difference maker. Refuse to lose or fail or come up short on account of your own effort. I hope this message touches someone and as always appreciate the blessings!

On this episode I talk about the importance of actually saying thank you and not just thinking it. Developing a practice of gratitude and giving thanks as soon as I wake up in the morning is completely changing my life and I want to spread this spirit of graitiude throughout the universe and I hope this podcast resonates with you. You might notice I changed the logo that's because both my mom and grandmother told me the skeleton which was a play on the grateful dead gave them the creeps and didn't seem to represent life and love of life so I changed it anyone appreciate the blessings!

On this episode I talk about learning to give love without expectation and how good it feels to do so. The world is always trying to divide us but love is in all of us and has the ability to unite us, today GIVE LOVE and always, appreciate the blessings!

On this episode I discuss being overwhelmed by choices at times in my life and the importance of making good choices day in and day out as our lives are merely a reflection of the choices we make. I hope you get something out of this and as always appreciate the blessings!

On this episode I talk about going the extra mile to experience life to the full. Going the extra mile in the pursuit of achieving your goals. There is nothing wrong with going the extra mile in life and today I'm encouraging you to do just that. As always appreciate the blessings!
