Podcast Recap

On Easter, I think about renewal and other lessons I’ve learned from my brave companions and from reading the fabulous book, Kendra and Maddy recommended, Eating In the Light of the Moon. Abby’s comment wakes me up to gratitude for my husband and shines a light on my perfect perfectionism. I discuss music, old school, and we hear from Kendra herself, via Speakpipe, as she shares a good tip to possibly improve my nutrition.

Prayer rocks I placed on Easter Sunday at my upper Zen place for you, Jane, Grace, Sue and Shirl.

Dawn breaks with its daily promise of renewal.

Episode 35 – where Grace asks for support, and I tell my own story.

Abby’s comment for me on day 34, the cat-impacted Laurie hissy fit episode

Eating in the Light of the Moon: How Women Can Transform Their Relationship with Food Through Myths, Metaphors, and Storytelling This is the Amazon.com link to the book recommended by Kendra that I also purchased. Note: This is my Amazon Associate link, so purchasing from here gives me a few pennies.

I park the truck at one end of town and get ready to record as I walk past the shops to the other end.

Podcast Recap

Mortified that I mixed up Canadian listener, Kendra, with New Englander listener, Maddy, during last episode’s walk in Descanso, I make good on my promise to deliver a sunny walk for winter-bound, Kendra by strolling through the charming shopping district of Montrose, California. Then, struck by my feelings of discomfort over the matter, decide to find a nice, quiet spot to podcast about perfectionism. Instead, you get the ring-side seat to the beginnings of a true binge based in frustration, finished off by how I outsmarted those frackin Robot Aliens this time.
