S22 Ep300: Interview: Robin Harris ~ Mysterious Voice Saves Her Life!

It is clear to me that Robin Harris lives close to the soul of the world. She is so steeped in grace, and kindness and in the belief that it is only by banding together will we all survive and thrive. She believes in us, everyone, and urges each of us to do the same!Robin is so many things but for me, especially, it is her connection to the Spirit World and her connection to her ancestors that resonated. They guide her, advise her and guess what? She listens! She is steeped in magic, moves through mystery and her life is just one big miracle after another! I am so glad you all are getting to meet her because AGAIN, she is another reminder that those who are kind and humble are everywhere among us!

S22 Ep299: Interview: Rand Timmerman ~ Peace & Healing On The Appalachian Trail!

I was so lucky to have Rand say "yes" to being on this podcast because, simply, he tells a story that is so powerful, and such a good reminder that we can be of service (indeed, as Rand says, that is the ONLY reason we are here) to our family members, to those we care about, our friends as well as the greater world out there and help to make this world a more beautiful place!Rand has had many adventures and truly has lived life with gusto-AND, he was there for his brother when his little brother needed it-mired in grief and moving through the loss of his beloved wife Rand decided then and there that he was going to accompany his brother on the Appalachian Trail, no matter the consequences. 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. It's about the Appalachian Trail, and is really, really gorgeous! Enjoy this melody and I hope it carries you through your week!
