this is my second episode on FOLLOWING BLISS & it's a hot topic whenever i'm searching for guest stories. everyone wants to talk about their bliss and that makes me very happy.

bliss begets bliss & all that jazz.

following your bliss means trusting that everything is going to work out, even if it’s not in the ‘perfect’ way you imagined. it's all about believing in your happy thoughts & life & dreams, and then following through, sometimes, against all odds - and if you're living it, then bliss is happening anyway. 

which is really how life should be.

i was raised by good people. so, what’s my definition of ‘good’ in this situation? well, it’s kind. generous. hardworking. selfless. humble.

but those seem to be pretty obvious when it comes to what we think of as GOOD & maybe even a little antiquated, 'cuz like everything in life, GOODNESS changes.

as a little girl, i couldn’t possibly have known that later in life, goodness would include just simply being nice to a stranger or looking a person in the eye when you’re speaking to them or saying hello. like, that’s kind of where we’re at, isn’t it?

today's stories will restore your faith in the GOODness of people.

ok, so if you’ve been listening to this podcast for any amount of time at all, you’ll know that the idea of doing an episode on the things that no one knows about me seems pretty laughable. it’s going to be a very short episode. 

but for real, as much as i talk a blue streak - my stories & my personal stuff - there's also a lot that i keep to myself. 

some things seem silly to share & some are actual secrets & some are just for the people who are close to me. 

i love shocking people when i tell them i’ve never had a coffee. but i also like that there’s stuff i’ll never tell.

whether we're the oversharing type or we simply write it in a journal or we never speak about it again for the rest of our days, when it comes to the things that no one knows about us, it’s really up to us. & today's episode spills the tea... just a little.

this is a story about libraries but it’s also about found things and human connection and love, actually.

it all started in oakland, california, about 10 years ago.

sharon mckellar was a librarian then, and one of her favourite parts of the job was finding things inside the books. things like love letters, recipes, kid’s drawings, photos, receipts, to do lists, anonymous poetry. the list appears to be endless.

when sharon started finding them, she put a call out to her colleagues across the 18 library locations in oakland to send her anything they’d found and she couldn’t believe how many pieces were coming in, so she began to catalogue them.

there are currently over 350 notes – a lot of them post-its, which, if you know me at all, you know i relate to in a big way!

find it at: oaklandlibrary.org

the energy of the number 100 is positive and optimistic. 100 is a perfect square number. there are 100 years in a century & 100 pennies in a dollar.

a person who lives to be 100 is called a centenarian.

there are 100 letter tiles in a scrabble game & 100 sweat glands in one square inch of skin.

'keep it 100' means to be authentic and truthful. keep it real. 

the record number of points scored in one NBA game by a single player was 100 points, set by wilt chamberlain on march 2, 1962.

if you had $100 billion dollars, you could spend $3 million dollars a day, every day, for the next 100 years.

you are currently listening to the 100th episode of this podcast!

with very special guests: mr & mrs greene, corinne & bob, & my childhood neighbour, mrs white.

when i typed “different types of celebrity crushes” into google, i got quite the mix of results. things like: what to do if you have a big celebrity crush, how do i get a celebrity to notice me, do celebrities fall in love with fans, how can you tell if a celebrity likes you, and - how to get over your celebrity crush obsession haha.

celebrity crushes are fun though right? i mean, hopefully. i think that’s what they’re supposed to be.

today's stories run the gamut! they're so fun. we dig into past crushes, who stands the test of time & of course, the 'laminated list'.
