Learn a little bit more about the world, I dare you!

He knew his brother needed a helping hand...and so began their journey on the Trail! Filled with comedy, a few scary moments and moments that existed out of time, their trip on the Trail changed their lives, as you'll hear in this conversation, and just might change yours by hearing it!Check out Rand's website here!Buy his book, "A Spiritual Passage, here!I WOULD SO APPRECIATE A RATING OR A REVIEW...THEY HELP MY HEART FEEL HAPPY!Your bit of beauty is this little song by The Three Rivers Singers from Rome, Georgia.

bonusFriends, meet Nathaniel Turner, our guest this episode, and certified generous, brilliant human being! He and I laughed our way through this conversation and had the best time, for strangers who were just meeting in this world! His story of how community shaped him, how family and friends supported him and had his back...well, it all had me wiping away a tear or two. It just goes to show it takes a village to raise upstanding and kind human beings and to make this world a shinier place! I, for one, am so grateful that Nathaniel is here, in this time, lifting everyone up around him and being the beacon of light that he is.To read up on Nathaniel and his work, click here to visit his website!To take a gander at his Insta, click here!And to read up on Nat Turner, Nathaniel's namesake, click here!Do yourself a favor and become better acquainted with this excellent human...it just might make your day!I'm always asking for ratings and reviews...so if you could, that world be amazing!

S22 Ep 294S22 Ep294: Interview: Hilary Momberger Powers ~ Forgiveness Is The Miracle (Whelp, It's Actually Hilary Too!)
I had the very great privilege of interviewing Hilary Momberger Powers this week and to say that her story is about resilience would be the understatement of the century! And frankly, we need to step back and realize something...that Hilary, as you'll hear, is truly the miracle this episode, all wrapped up in generosity and wisdom and kindness and a capacity to forgive, which ties in to her miracle story.She was a child star, who found herself in an impossible situation...and I don't want to ruin it by giving it away, but I just sat back and let her talk, and share, and open up about parts of her life that were heartbreaking and hurtful and still echo down the timeline to today. But she has a story to tell...and I urge you all to deeply hear it. Healing is possible, healing is necessary, and healing is available to us all...we just need to grab the opportunity when it comes to us.To read up on this resilient human, click here!To check out her Insta, click here!I thank her again for being on the show and being her glorious self!Please do rate and review the show, it warms the cockles of my heart! Thank you!Your bit of beauty is this: someone shared today that when asked what his religion was, the Dalai Lama replied, "My religion is kindness." Check out this YouTube about that statement, kindness and compassion, and how it all, ultimately, leads back to the Divine!

S22 Ep 293S22 Ep293: Interview: David Hunter ~ Timing Is Everything! (Miraculous Too!)
David Hunter is someone who lives close to the soul of the world. I say this because his life is made up of synchronicity, of magical happenings and still, a close and dear relationship with his parents, who are no longer in this reality with us. He tells all these stories and more, including one about the day he got let go of his job...and how the Universe stepped in to help him, right away!It behooves us to understand these types of people, those who have faith in the World. They can be excellent models for us, and light a way forward for us to follow. So listen to David and deeply hear what he has to say...magic is abundant and everywhere, we just need to partner with it.To check out David's company, Global Phytoplankton, click here!Please consider leaving a review or rating...they make my heart sing!! Tra lalalalala...see?Your bit of beauty is this cool science mini-doc titled "Why We Owe Our Lives to Phytoplankton" from SciShow and put out by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It'll show you all the ways we owe our lives to this little organism!!
