Traditionally, we make resolutions on January 1, which marks the new calendar year. But for many of us, September begins our new year. This podcast is all about assessing where we are physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually and on making one change in each of these areas. For September IS the new January.

This podcast discusses both the variety of WAYS of being generous and the HOW of being generous. Generosity isn't just about money. It's about giving of self — time, energy, skills, thoughtfulness. Further, one can be generous simply or actually be generous as a spiritual practice. In the latter case, being present and intentional are key factors.

Generosity, or liberalness in giving, has a number of unexpected benefits. Researchers have conducted scientific studies to uncover the main benefits — physical, emotional, spiritual — of being generous. In some cases, the giver actually gains more than the receiver!

This podcast explores inner peace in a chaotic world. We talk about the reasons for wanting to cultivate inner peace from reducing stress to improving personal relations.

We hear a lot about world peace and inner peace, but what about peace in the neighborhood, so to speak? This podcast discusses peace in relationship to those around us and talks of ways to maintain that “outer” peace.
