Hang with me Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 7 to 11 minutes on the MIND CHALK Podcast.
Thoughts are fleeting—thank goodness. But what about those profound thoughts that transiently float in and out of our minds throughout the day? This show is about some of mine, presented to you full of imagination and extrapolation, and sometimes expressed in anapestic tetrameter or a random moment of song.
Join me for a fun, provocative & entertaining look at ‘thought.’ Episodes are below and on your favorite podcast player.
41. Fleet Feast Friday #3
If I weren't at risk of copyright infringement, I'd play Gary Numan's song, 'Cars,' underneath this entire episode. Join me today for my randomly fleeting thoughts about cars while secretly hoping you enjoy a flashback to 1979 with an earworm of Numan's one-hit wonderment.
40. Fortitude
Today, I share a personal story about persistence, endurance, and will.
39. You’re Right
Today, join me in my assertion that you, my friend, are always right. Always.
38. If a Tree Falls In the Forest…
Today, I discuss my less-than-graceful response to the recent ice storm that shut down my power for 122 hours.
37. I Got You
Today, I nod to a beautiful character of my past to exemplify the power and the impact of being tapped into that which backs our individual (and collective) magnificence.
36. Inside Out
We'd all have to admit on some level that we look to others more often than we look to ourselves for advice or wisdom. So today, I share how we can do that differently and likely live more fulfilling lives.
35. The Enemy
Today, as we celebrate and remember a man who believed in dispelling darkness with light, I discuss humankind’s age-old commitment to 'going to battle' with things instead of focusing on the light.
34. Fleet Feast Friday #2
It's Friday, and I'm back with a few off-the-cuff fleeting anecdotes about my hilarious life, one of which is the story I mentioned about cooking for my friend when she injured her back.
33. Resilience
Last week, I alluded to some good news about my mom. Today, I bring you this good news with a reminder that we all have what we need to fuel and fill us when we reach for and trust it—all of us.
32. Analog Evenings
Today, I share about a slumber-interrupting coyote attack and discuss my reason for engaging in a life-expanding commitment to what I call 'analog evenings.'
31. Be Still, Not Sit Still
Settling the mind doesn't necessarily mean you have to be in inaction. Being still can and does occur in motion. Listen today as I make this distinction; Patrick Mahomes being my example.
30. Expectation
Today, in a nod to the new beginnings of the new year, I discuss the power of expecting what you desire. No goal or dream is impossible if you can live in the expectation of it.
29. Friday Fleeting Feast
Some days I have random thoughts firing, and nothing incredibly profound or meaningful really taking up space in my brain. This is one of those days.
28. Heaven
Belinda Carlisle might have had it right. Those of us still living have yet to determine what heaven is and if it even exists. Today, I nod to my version of “heaven.”
27. Home Sweet Home
Home is an essential part of our existence, be it the one we grew up in or the one we live in now. Home is also a mindset. I talk about this today. Welcome home.
26. My Morning Fairy
What if we could see those different from us the way I see my early morning "fairy girl" who graces my walks with her barefoot stoicism? We would live in a different (and kinder) world, that's for sure.
25. What If?
I recently read something that parallels a sacred text while discluding a pronoun that makes the text and everything built around it seemingly problematic. I attempted to sing a portion of this episode to no avail.
24. Trail of Breadcrumbs
Today, I discuss the effects of the paths we forge throughout our lives by using a personal anecdote about looking beyond the surface in hopes of helping one another make our way out of the woods.
23. Frequency. Vibration.
What if our life fulfillment depended on tapping into the energy that backs us all by simply raising our frequency to match that from which we were created?
22. Passion is Purpose
We all recognize what lights us up inside, yet many prefer to keep their passion at bay. How would our lives be different if we put our conditioning on the backburner instead of being fully alive?
