Light in a Spoon

I met Sam in the rooms of a 12 Step Program for substance abuse. Sam has a very unique view of the world and his recovery, including “drinking having a spiritual component” (listen close for that one). He referred to himself as a ‘lovable tragedy’…the dude is just damned lovable. As I’ve come to know Sam, his wisdom and his heart for others has been attractive. I am pretty sure you’ll come to love him too. Sam is a poet and generously pours his light into a spoon and he lifts it to nourish many beautiful parched holy souls. For those who understand service  to others, you know what I mean. Sam offers resources that have moved the needle for him. Find them on Amazon. Click on the links.

You will fall in love with this beautiful woman and incredibly courageous human being. You will also love her just released book “All Bets Are Off” Betsy took on her life right where she found herself. Diabetic, dramatically overweight.

Betsy Thank you for your incredible determination to transform your life and then the courage to  lend your voice to encourage all of us to “not go silently into the night” but lean in to life, find the inspiration required and get busy taking action to have the human experience be as exquisite as it possibly can be. In addition to her new book, Betsy is also cofounder of Novo Veritas.  You can follow Betsey on Facebook and Instagram and her blog   And then Visit Light In A Spoon and purchase our Spoonful Of Light Superfood Greens 

My introduction to Tracey Hulick came as I sat with Spencer Newell, LIAS guest on Episode 24. We were comparing notes regarding early inspiration for endurance running. I recounted my inspiration leading up to running my first marathon in October of 2006. I had donated a kidney to my younger sister Amy in Chicago, October of 2005, the same week of the 2005 Chicago Marathon…Spencer stopped me and said, “dude you’ve gotta meet my girlfriend Tracey. She donated a kidney and has started an organization called “Kidney Donor Athlete…” And she is an endurance runner too.  Spencer gave me Tracey’s contact info and thus began what has become a dear connection and friendship with a stellar human. I am going to let Tracey share her story, her love and the passion that drives her to raise awareness for living organ donation through her organization, FaceBook and Instagram @Kidney Donor Athletes . https://kidneydonorathlete.org/ May each of you find a passion that calls you, invites you and compels you to contribute to the world. Even if your world is your family, church, temple or synagog. For some of us like Tracey it may be a demographic that is disenfranchised, disempowered or suffering with disease. Being in service to something or someone greater than ourselves is the ‘juice’ of life itself. Check out Tracey’s Blog Please remember to try Spoonful Of Light Greens  

Cylvia had been an environmental consultant and founder of 3 E Consulting. She then became “First Lady” of the State of Oregon and long time partner of former Gov John Kitzhaber. Of course, she had reached a level in public life where anything and everything becomes open season for journalists and the media. In October of 2014 Cylvia received a call from a journalist that uncovered “her past”. I will let Cylvia share her story of her “fall from grace” and subsequent rise to become a powerful force for transformation and…Authenticity. This episode brings home the wisdom of “never quit…NO MATTER WHAT”. My conversation with Cylvia Hayes inspires me to remember that the perceived failures…aren’t…failures at all. NOT AT ALL! Be looking for her forthcoming book. Click here to view Cylvia’s TEDx Talk “Who Do You Think You Are, Really? TEDxBend. You can also find Cylvia on Facebook & Instagram. Cylvia is a powerful woman who walks in the world with a life that is “transformation lived” which means she may have a thing or two to share with us…and SHE DOES!!! Cylvia, thank you for taking time and gracing us with your story, your courage and your love. As always I remind us all to explore the life of what the Sufi Mystic referred to as “A Poet”. “A Poet is someone who can pour light into a spoon and lift it to nourish your beautiful, parched holy mouth.
