In the past few years (7 years to be exact), I have gone through a lot and learned a lot while still being me, with a few changes. I have realized during this time the things I didn't do and did do that I needed to change where my family are concerned. I share these things in my podcast this week.

What Brings You Joy?

Wed, 27 Jan 2021 04:00:00 GMT

In this episode, I begin with an update on my health journey.

I then go into the episode by me telling you about a podcast called The Daily Podcast with the title of The Amateur Cloud Society That (Sort Of) Rattled The Scientific Community. The story is of Gavin Pretor-Pinney, his Cloud Appreciation Society and the part he would end up playing in influencing the science community and the 2014 Atlas regarding the clouds.

I then share a list of Fifty Ways to Add Joy to your Day on Psychology Today's website written by Carolyn Rubenstein, PH. D. She says she does this to shift her mindset for the day by committing to doing one joyful thing on the list each day. I think it is such a great idea and give a few ideas of my own.!

Positive Media

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 00:00:00 GMT

This week I am a bit late. I just couldn't decide what to share, so I am sharing all four of the positive media I found, or that was shared with me. We find negativity every day on social media which makes us not want to be there. But I have searched and found some positives to share. So, take note and I hope you enjoy these as much as I have!

LaDonna Andrews - Sweet Combs of Honey Owner and Artist

Thu, 08 Oct 2020 19:00:00 GMT

Today's episode was originally scheduled to go out on Monday this week. Unfortunately, there was work being done in the store when we originally recorded and it took over our vocals so I requested we re-record the interview. I did not plan on getting it done, but as a bonus, it is going out today! I was able to sit down with my friend LaDonna and talk to her about her venture in what brought her back home to Lavonia and what made her open up her lovely store Sweet Combs of Honey and why her love of art. Enjoy!
If you ever get a chance to stop by Lavonia, Georgia, you need to make the few short miles to the downtown area of Lavonia to stop in and see LaDonna and her quaint store, Sweet Combs of Honey.
