If You Are Not Willing to Contribute...Don't Complain.
02/10/2020 Duración: 05min“If you don’t contribute, don’t complain” (Frank Sonnenberg) Saw this quote earlier today on Facebook. It screamed at me. My first thoughts were about elections, when so many people say “You don’t have a right to complain if you don’t vote”. I believe there is truth in that. But it goes so much deeper. Every single day, there are people complaining about things over which they, as individuals, have no control. What they fail to realize, though, is that while they may not be able to have an effect on the issue globally, they can affect it locally. After all, if enough people care enough to take small actions, global shifts can happen. Who CAN make a difference? YOU can.

The Power of a Picture!
11/09/2020 Duración: 05minThe Power of a Picture! Do you realize that September includes 'Save Your Photos' Month? That's right...and I am old enough to remember the days before digital cameras and hard-drives...when you had one shot to capture the moment, not 50 in 30 seconds, while wearing a filter that gave us dog ears. The closest we got was a sarcastic sibling who have us the 'two-fingered bunny-ear salute" behind our head when we weren't looking. Seriously, there is a POWER in pictures. They capture 'moments' in time, big-time. Today's show is dedicated to my Dad. I miss him so much...and I am so glad I took an extra minute to snap a very important photo that I now get to keep forever. What pictures mean the most to you?

Why Did the Turtle Cross the Road?
17/08/2020 Duración: 04minWhy Did the Turtle Cross the Road? Who can YOU help today? Was on my way home, down a winding back road, and saw this little dude trying to make its way across. We see people in need daily. Sometimes we stop...sometimes we don't. Sometimes we WANT to help...sometimes we won't. If you can, at least once per day (learned this from my grandfather), leave at least one situation better than you found it. In this case, checked for traffic behind me...there was none. Pulled over, ran back and helped this little sprinter the rest of the way. Had his feet running like mad in mid-air, then got camera shy when we reached the other side. Why do I like to help? Answer: It makes me feel better. BIGGEST REASON: I think of how badly I'd feel if I drove this road an hour later and saw it had been hit. Helping is simple. And it can make you, and the people whom you help...smile. It's a game that's easy to win. And if you are not comfortable helping individuals (ex. people who are panhandling), I understand.

10/08/2020 Duración: 05minWHY Do You Do What You Do...the Way You Do It? After a decade spent riding high (yet occasionally being a Crash Test Dummy) in the radio industry, I finally made a decision that changed my life forever...but I chose to swing a wrecking ball through it first. It's not always easy to dig deep to find our WHY, but it can be worth it.

How Do You Treat YOUR Fans?
06/08/2020 Duración: 06minHow Do You Treat YOUR Fans? You have fans. Do you realize that? Whatever you do for a living...there is someone out there who admires you, cheers you on, and enjoys how YOU make THEM feel. So, the question: How do YOU treat these people? we've all seen examples of people who seem to have it all...yet treat people around them like crap...as if they forgot what it meant to be that fan in the stands. How are YOU treating YOUR FANS?

If You're Feeling Lost, Play Marco Polo (With Summer)!
01/08/2020 Duración: 05minIf You're Feeling Lost, Play Marco Polo (With Summer)! So much can go wrong...and cause us to give up. Today, it nearly DID. But, what if...the NEXT TIME something goes wrong, you KEPT ON TRYING, made adjustments on the fly, stayed in contact with the people you're trying to find in the Digital Forest? What if you kept playing "Instant Message Marco Polo" until you found the other person? A great big THANK YOU to KORE Women Podcast host Summer Watson for holding down the fort until I arrived...10 minutes into the show as I frantically rearranged my recording studio to switch from 'laptop, camera, lights and microphone' to 'phone/other lights' as I yelled (to myself, until I got connected) "I'm on my way!! I'm on my way!!" ;) You see, I had missed one simple (yet very important) message in her show instructions. We *could have* bailed. But she didn't...and she wouldn't let ME either. And if we had, I would have missed out on one of the most JOYFUL experiences of my week! A message from Summer, after the show:

12/06/2020 Duración: 05minHow Does Visualization Work? The Story of a Little Dog, a Baby Giraffe...and a Lot of Action!

For those who think Visualization is simply 'wishing', and the Vision Boards are throwaway 'arts & crafts' projects...here is a story that shares the most basic nuts and bolts of the process...with a very happy ending. Rest in peace, Super Teddy. You are missed.

Gratitude...Are YOU Seeing (and Feeling) the Good Stuff?
26/02/2020 Duración: 10minGratitude...Are YOU Seeing (and Feeling) the Good Stuff? One of the BEST THINGS you can do for yourself, every day, is to be aware, INTENTIONALLY, of things you are grateful for in your life. Is life perfect? No, it is not. But...when you acknowledge the GOOD things you have, or that you experience every day, you're building a muscle that can help you power through the bad things that the world may throw at you. Your focus, every day, can affect the paths you travel, who is on those paths, and the actions you take. Be grateful, even for the small stuff. Someday you may realize those were the biggest, most important things. Want to learn more about how Gratitude and Visualization can play a huge part of your life?
