Here I am like Maria in the Sound of Music. I so enjoyed my Dance Moment on the mountain.

Podcast Recap

Inspired by supportive comments from BC Dave, I enjoy some wonderful moments up at the next to upper Zen spot where I ponder about persistence in the face of challenges and perceived failure. I’m grateful to BC Petra for her kind video message and for new iTunes reviews from Australia and the UK. We also hear from BCs Kelly and Dawny. For today’s dance moment I challenge you all to have a Funky 60 second Dance Party like I did on the mountain. As proof I posted a video of my Funky Mountain Dance to IG as LaurieDreamWeaver.

You can see the next to upper Zen place is an island of welcome shadow for recording despite the hot sun.

I feel A-OK about myself as I get ready to explore my local park for a good podcast spot.

Podcast Recap

My feet keep me from hiking, but I find a new podcast spot down at the park. Overcoming disordered eating as an Identity. Finding love for ourselves with a cool mirror exercise. Hello to new BCs Martha, Carrie and SAN (AKA Self Acceptance Newbie). Carrie listens to old and new episodes of COD and has questions. It’s ok to ask about past shows. Thanks for the financial support and 5-star reviews on iTunes. Mark tells how you can participate. BC Kelly G. touches my heart with her timely comments and Dawny comes through with understanding.

I’m excited to look ahead as I’m finally back on the mountain.

Podcast Recap

Zen flows on the mountain as I discover my own method and I wonder, what’s yours? I’m grateful to BCs who’ve been supporting me and the show, like longtime listener Pat and the Amazon shoppers. A new iTunes review from the UK. New BC Danielle from Brisbane gives me some comments to ponder about why it’s so difficult to just say ‘Thank You.’ New BCs Carol and Shona reach out via PM. Dawny comments after last show.
Beautiful blue skies over the sandy hiking path through green brush up to the mountain.

I try a new selfie angle in order to capture the pretty pink flowers behind me at the start of the trail. 8:30 AM and ALREADY hot as blazes!

Podcast Recap

It’s early morning on the mountain and already HOT AS BLAZES. I let go of thinking about my body every 6 seconds and replace that with gratitude. This month’s iTunes 5-star review writers and some of their reviews. Smooches for each. Also thanks to Canadian and UK Amazon shoppers. We hear from Shea, Dave and Dawny with comments about day 115. Dawny goes on the bravery report for completing a half-marathon! Mark reads his favorite poem, If by Rudyard Kipling. Our resident BC Songwriter extraordinaire, Fionna Lane, shares one of her latest songs, Maybe, and the inspiration behind it. We catch up with Amy from WI and talk about posting statuses. Then we flip the format and welcome our newest BC Charm at the end of the show, because she teaches me something about gratitude. We send heartfelt well wishes to a person in Charm’s life.

Large prayer rocks on the mountain

I make use of stacked boulders and add various sized rocks to represent the different challenges Charm’s acquaintance is facing and the good wishes we’re sending.

Featured Song

Maybe*
Music and Lyrics by Fionna Lane
Hear More of Fionna’s music on Soundcloud

Refrain:

Maybe this is it
‘Cause it just feels right, right?
I’ve searched the sea
And combed the sands all night
Then I heard my heart
Thought I heard it cry, cry
Maybe this is what I’ve been
searching for all my life

I have searched my soul
I have trolled the lands
I have held each precious
gemstone in my hands
But I never found
What I thought I’d find
I am looking for a love to last
for all time

They say that you don’t get what you want
But what you need
It’s funny when you retrace your steps
You’re following your own lead.

(Refrain)

I have worn my pearls
Like the pretty girls
But they didn’t end up being
Pearls of wisdom
And I’ve tried and failed
In my fairy tales
Gotta bring my fairy tales
To life somehow

They say you’ve got to
Forget the past
So you can grow
But sometimes what you’re hoping to learn
Is something you already know.

Refrain

Podcast Recap

Bravely facing up to the truth. Our truth, the truth of how we’re seen in the world, the truth that our truth can change and that’s ok. New iTunes reviews.

One of my last voice acting class dialogs with my scene partners Phyllis and Roger. Comments about our epic episode 100 from Cheryl, Patt and Sue from the UK. Thoughtful reactions from Suzanne and Stéfanie from Qubec to the truth of size-ism as ranted by me last show and in a blog post called Fitting In – Hating the Simpsons and Loving the Kindness of Strangers. How to be in the next edition of Fionna’s Brave Companions Song.

Laurie pulls back her hat brim as she takes a smiling selfie in the mirror

Took this just because I felt Sooo happy in my body today. Still don’t know what I weigh, just felt really good physically.
