What Do You Want to Change?

Look, there hasn’t been much gone untouched by 2020. This year has been a doozy. I’ve seen everything from making sure that everyone eats Black Eyed Peas for the New Year to Opening your Back Door just before midnight to “Let out” everything about 2020 and open your front door to let the newness of 2021 in. There is a lot that needs to change about 2021. But this time of year sparks that kind of thing, now doesn’t it?
You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life ep 77 and today we are asking What Do You Want to Change?

You Got Me What?

This isn’t going to be your typical Christmas post.
You may have seen videos about today’s topic, you may have experienced this yourself and watched it happen. You may have even thought this yourself.
Picture this, it’s Christmas morning, you can tell without going outside, it’s cold, there are still hot coals in the fireplace, you stoke it a couple of times and it comes back to life again, you begin to feel its warmth, the Tree is lit and coffee is brewing. The time is finally here, to sit around the tree and open presents.
You are about to hear the distinct sound of wrapping paper being torn open. There is so much excitement in the room, the kids can’t keep still. They are squirming and about to explode out of their skin. They tear open paper and boxes like they are trying to save someone’s life that’s stuck inside.. . . and then, their shoulders drop. They look up slowly, …“You got me, What?”…
You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life. Ep 76 Our title today, First off, Merry Christmas everyone. Our title today is “You Got Me, What?”

Silver Lining

Have you ever posted something on social media and wanted to retract it? It reminds me of the expression, “You can’t put toothpaste back into the tube”? Well, this was definitely one of those moments. This was something that was a meme, someone else had already typed it out for me and it had a picture background. In that moment, it satisfied a voice inside, that felt like it needed to be heard. And I re-posted it. Oh, I don’t regret re-posting it, not at all. It blew up with conversation. We’ll talk about it today on Living the Freedom Life. This is ep 75 “There’s a Silver Lining in that Dark Cloud Looming”

Other People’s Glasses

This story is borrowed from a friend. A little boy climbs up in his Grandpa’s lap and asks, “Can I try on your glasses Grampa?”
“Okay, but be careful, they’re pretty strong.”
He picks up the glasses and puts them on… followed by… “AAAGH!”
The little boy got up from his Grandpa’s lap, announcing to the rest of the room, “You live in a scary world Grandpa.”
We don’t do this often enough. You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life, and today we’re talking about Trying on Other Peoples Glasses

Pre-Winter to Complete Fall

Let’s see, we have Fall, Pre-Winter, then we have a little bit more Fall, so we can move into Official Winter. Get ready for the weather confusion.
For Thanksgiving we were in Nashville, which is a little colder than what we’re used to in Texas. They actually got snow. Of which, I’m a little jealous.
At home, we have a lot of plants that can’t survive a freeze. So when I woke up one morning and they were all brown, it was actually comforting. The first freeze is crucial for me to feel that “Complete Fall” is here. Because, as many of you know, I love fall.
You’re listening to Living the Freedom Life, and today we’re talking about Complete Fall.

I’ll Have a Glue Thanksgiving Without You

If you’re listening to this today, Thanksgiving Day, instead of listening to this right now, let me encourage you to go check the turkey, check on the biscuits, hug your mother, sit down with your grandparents and listen to those stories they want to tell you.

Forgiveness

With Thanksgiving coming up I thought we would have a discussion about something that I’ve found everyone struggles with. Forgiveness. You may even have someone that comes to mind.  Even as I mentioned the word, Forgiveness, you already have a picture in your mind of what that looks like. Even if you don’t, That’s okay, …
