From Weeds to Wildflowers; The search for resilience

Community. Can we start there?...

Let's start talking about community resilience, because, I think it's a thing! But what does the word community mean to you? Let me know! Also, I want to touch on the subject of laying it down...letting the stories of the past go, no longer letting them control or define us. Is the cost too high? That is only something you can answer. Join me on episode 34!

How life, and resilience, looks a lot like an Oreo cookie...

Have you ever wondered how life was like an Oreo cookie? No? Ok then, how about resilience? Still no? lol...well, join me on this episode as I compare life and resilience to an Oreo cookie! Makes me hungry just thinking about it! Happy dunking!

Surrender...

Surrender...what does that word invoke in you? Fear? Peace? Is it something you've experienced before? I have, but I haven't always done it right, I haven't always fully surrendered. In this episode I talk about how this word applies to resilience but also, how it relates to a similar word, submission. I explore what the differences there are or might be in those two words, coming to my own conclusions and letting you decide what your conclusions might be as well. I talk about a TikTok in this episode, one that moved me, as well as having used some definitions that I acquired from certain websites that I will include below. Join me on this journey into surrender.
