Start your day with me every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 5 to 15 minutes.
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 song verse.
Join me for a fun, provocative & entertaining look at ‘thought.’ Episodes are below and on your favorite podcast players.
56. Digging Ditches
Most tasks or efforts require a perspective shift to make the mundane meaningful or fulfilling. Join me for this brief episode focusing on making anything (except for cleaning toilets) fun.
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.
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.
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.
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.
20. Errant Translations
What if one misrepresented word changed the course of our entire culture? What if mistranslation paved the way to unthinkable injustice? Today I discuss the danger of hard-lining Thought.
19. Go Where You Are Led
Life is made up of common and inspired moments. Today I discuss how the thought that creates either the ordinary or the inspired comes from the same place—yet thoughts have different resonances of inspiration.
18. Nope
Decisions and beliefs are, in their simplest form, thoughts. We often hang onto these thoughts with a tight grip. Today I suggest seeing them differently while using an Adlerian psychology reference that clarifies it.
17. Runnin’ Up That Hill
Sometimes life's metaphors can be simple (even when they require great effort). Join me today as I talk about one of the greatest advantages I learned from ‘runnin' up that hill.’
16. Location Convenience
I realize how drawn I am to things that are 'close by.' I’m starting to wonder if it's making my world small. Join me today for a post-holiday ‘fleeting thought’ about how we use distance to keep us in a box.
13. Aptitude Reboot
The perception of what we lack is only thought. Join me today as I confess something I've long judged about myself and how I'm finding my way to freedom.
12. Take Your Bow
Each of us expresses, creates, and gives our 100% for different reasons in our respective lives. What would our lives and the world be like if we could live from that full expression at all times?
11. Routine Reimagined
We live in the construct of time. Is nodding to the constraints of time a good or bad thing for creativity and productivity? The answer isn't as black and white as we like to make it.
10. Life’s Musical Score
We experience life from the consciousness of thought and perception. Join me today for a fun realization about a few quirky perceptions that infuse my life with joy.
8. No News Is Good News
As you've gleaned by now, I have strong opinions. Today, I discuss one of them while imploring you to try something that may make the rest of your 2022 fabulous! Just trust me.
2. Thought Reimagined
What if we had a different relationship with thought—a relationship of perspective that allows us to decide if thought will cause suffering or joy? We do.
