A fired up message that hit me right between the eyes and went straight to my heart from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) - A great example of people inspiring & encouraging other people as he did with me. He introduced this post with this: “A message for today … Life's challenges often push us to our limits but they can also serve as catalysts for growth & resilience. The process of coming together helps us rebuild & emerge stronger. It's in overcoming adversity that we truly discover our strength & potential.” We all have choices and this one got me very emotional as I was reading it during this recording. Hope this connects to you like it did for me. Thanks for listening.

Happy New Year! Here it is the start of Season 9 for my podcast, so first of all, thank you for being a part of my journey that has intersected with your journey. In my regular daily reading from the book “Arete” by Brian Johnson on page 339, he shares some very powerful (and for me emotional) information on our journey through life being a process and it’s not really a destination. It’s a great reminder to be thankful and appreciating the good in our lives and not taking those things for granted. (which sadly, I do plenty of times). I wanted to share this with you to start our 2025 out in a great direction (or whenever you listen to this episode), so I hope you can take something from this episode and plant it in good soil to grow all throughout this year and beyond!

I found a powerful poem from a post on Facebook that I wanted to share. It comes from a page called: “I’m going that way.” and this poem has some great reminders for all of us as to even if we are not okay, there are plenty of things that we are worthy of being. The poem brings up a few. I throw some of my own reflections into this and I know you can connect with these ways along with your own too. I mentioned a recent John O’Leary podcast where his guest shares a powerful story that fits into this too. Find the podcast: “A Father Learning to “Walk On” After the Tragic Loss of his Son: Stephen Panus” (ep. 736) by clicking on the link. Amazing and emotional story. On a less sad note, I do want to wish everyone a very happy New Year!! I’m looking forward to Season 9 for me and my podcast in 2025 along with many new & exciting things in my life. I hope you can say the same for your life too in the new year. Thank you all for listening to my show too. It means a lot to me for sure. Thanks for listening.
