Give it a year!

Welcome to this week's diary entry. In today's episode, I share a revelation about my anxiety and how I discovered a pattern that reveals the root of it all. I share how fear can blind you from reality.

Welcome to episode #9. Today is a reflection and commentary on my thoughts around Remembrance Day. This entry shares my ideas on how important it is to be seen and witnessed by another. Conversely, I also share how I think it's vital to be a witness to another, like our Veterans on November 11th.

Welcome to my fifth entry of my Podcast Diary " THANKS GIVING 2025". Today is a share day. I wrote a sonnet in tribute to ThanksGiving. I am happy that I woke up with a need to write and create this poem. Today I share this poem, and some xommentary on what I was thinking and feeling as it was being created. As I stay committed to this cyber space I am feeling more in a creative groove and closer to all my goals as an artist . Today I will share the poem in the description if you like to read poetry as opposed to listening to me read it. I hope that it makes you smile, think or reflect on what is important to you on this celebration of Thanks Giving.
Thanks Giving
2025
Social media is constant, creating whispers of strife and discontent.  
Fear is front and centre, teaching what is wrong in this day and age.
Caught in undertows of jealousy, anger, division, and rage
Glued to a screen I feel it. I have things I want to vent!!!
Hours of scrolling fill thoughts with toxicity because the truth is often bent.
Clips and reels teaching me to fear becoming unhealthy, old, or poor
Just click here and you can fix what is wrong with YOU and so much more.
Sinking in sadness and feeling so small I lose beliefs without my consent.
There is strength in silence, where I am able to hear my inner voice.
Be grateful for the guidance of challenges, losses and fears.
I CAN put my phone down, cutting off ties with technology and the noise.
I welcome the wind on my skin, laughter in my belly and voices that I hear.
Both fear and joy are born from curiosity of what I think, I feel and what I choose to pursue.
Gratitude is the fruit of reflection grown from the seed of two small words. – Thank you.

Welcome to episode 4. Tired of Being Inspired. This is a reading from my personal blog called WHAT A WORLD. The post explores the beautifu;,the devastating and the battles I go through trying to balance both in my life. It turns out that I have an enemy. In this post I expose my enemy and share some photos of my most recent ornaments. If you wish to see the photos or read the post you can visit my blog on my site at:

Welcome to entry #3. Today I am sharing the inspiration for a new art piece that I created. The name of the piece is FAITH OVER FEAR. I share how politics, my thoughts and insights on the univesal law of polarity and fear merge into this piece of art. I share my hope that someone will undestand the message that your life is experience is created through your decisions.

NOTE:  the first minute of my entry was cut out for some reason.   It begin part way through my introduction. 
 
Entry Two: Welcome to an episode where I share an original story called Pen and Paper. I selected this story for many reasons including that it was a creative way to share with all of you more about myself and what inspires me to create this Podcast Diary. This story explores the theme of invisible wounds; what they are and how to heal them. I share my experience and knowledge on how to heal things like grief, fear and loss. I have also shared this story at an event in Fergus called ENCHANTA. The original story was written on February 22 2025. It evolved into the story it is today. I hope that you will find something moving, interesting, or enjoyable.

This is the one year anniversary episode of GIVE IT A YEAR. Join me as I review the ups, downs and thoughts of this last year. I am looking forward to a new year of podcast adventures. My goal this year is to provide content that is creative, positive and sometimes thoughtful.
