It’s me wearing contacts! I decided to see if I could wear them so I can go on camera for TV commercials and not be limited by my prescription glasses.

Podcast Recap

I ponder what it means to believe in ourselves down at my local park on the podcast rock. Hear my brand spanking new professional animation demo. Comments and updates from BCs Jo from the U.K., Dawny and Dave. BC Louise from the U.k. goes on the Bravery Report for publicly posting her story. BC Svetlana comments on FB about a short video I posted to IG. Follow me on IG as LaurieDreamWeaver. If you participate and are known to me as a BC, feel free to friend me on FB. BC Louise from the U.K.’s comment inspires me to discuss where participation comes from and why it ebbs and flows. Today’s dance moment is a quirky blues tune called Delta Beats by IB Audio.

Thanks to my recent first time adventures with contacts – I can rock ready-made non-prescription glasses. I call these my RockStar Shades! What do you think?

I love this selfie taken on the ship’s balcony. It shows my spirit at peace and I am filled with awe at the view and gratitude for this opportunity.

Podcast Recap

It’s a dark and stormy night as I get back from a wonderful voice acting cruise and end up in continuous down pouring rain and develop a terrible case of bronchitis. Through musical advice I learn to focus on the sun as I ponder my blessings. I come up with a new description for the show. Updates from Jo from the U.K. BC Dave supports via kind comments and shares his latest struggles. We greet our newest BC, Louise from the U.K. We can learn to listen to our inner voices via taste journaling. You and I can Do Anything by Yoo Soo Kim is the episode’s featured music.

Sun peeks through clouds over the water and reflects in the ocean's ripples.

One of the inspiring views from the ship’s balcony.

Here is the balcony where we had so much fun and I was inspired by the many views to ponder about my life.

Trying to enjoy myself today even though it is hot as blazes and flies keep buzzing me to drink my water or the sweat from my brow. It’s definitely…an experience.

It’s easy to wish away our lives waiting for the next good thing and missing out on what we have today. BC Dave inspires us with a meaningful quote. BC Mary S. lets us know about a great web site where we can make cards to cheer up kids in the hospital. Thanks for reaching out about our fire safety and for supporting Mark and me. Dawny catches us up and has a victory. Carrie and I have a comment conversation about improving our body image. BC Dave tells us about his Disc Golf Tourney and what he learned from it. Bcs Jo and Sue from the UK greet new BCs and say hello. BC Mary S. calls with supportive thoughts about making hard choices for our own good.

You can see from today’s view from the podcast rock, how dried out the underbrush is and why fires are such a concern.

A quick snapshot in my garden near my memory tree before I head down to the podcast rock. I’m POSITIVE recording day 164 will be a wonderful experience.

Podcast Recap

Positivity is the theme for the day. We greet new BCs Linda and Charliss. BC Carrie shares comments about the mirror exercise from last show. Encouragement from BC Martha who posted about day 11, a very tough day from my past. BC Dave shares his heart. Updates from BCs Jo from the UK and Dawny. Big smooches to Jo for her generous gift.

Different wind chimes hang from a curved branch from an old tree in the garden in front of a brick wall.

These are memory chimes in my garden. They hang from our dead plum tree. It shaded us for many years. Its replacement tree grows next to it. Rather than remove the tree, Mark cut it back and we’re growing jasmine up it. These various chimes have many memories. The multicolored one I bought in memory of my Mom who loved rainbows.

Newest BCs

  • I’m excited to feel great about my body
  • I love learning from my bravery
  • I’m thrilled to focus on the positive

I enjoy my birthday cookie, red wine, time with my good friend and my love. What could make a better birthday celebration?

Podcast Recap

My 59th birthday blast is filled with love and friends who care. After meditating during an early morning birthday hike up the mountain to the next to upper Zen spot, I share three words that best show my strengths and ask for yours. Birthday greetings and songs from Mark, Josephine, Mary S. and Jo from the U.K. Birthday comments from BC North. All the freebies I enjoyed on my birthday and how disappointments turned to blessings. A wonderful surprising medley of Happy Birthdays by different characters thanks to my voice acting friends. A new birthday version of Fionna’s Brave Companion Song.

Laurie smiles with her hiking hat flipped brim up with rolling foothills in the background.

I totally love my birthday ponder at the next to upper Zen spot!
