Magician Bryan Saint hosts Mark and me at the Magic Castle.

Podcast Recap

Despite strong winds keeping me off of the mountain, I celebrate 6 years of Compulsive Overeating Diary. Mark and I have a great time with Magician, Bryan Saint at the Magic Castle. I ponder why disappointment doesn’t sting as much as it used to. BC Mary calls the Bravery Hotline to update us about her journey and shares a great resource. New BC Yulia from Russia writes in now that she’s caught up with all of the episodes. BCs Joy and Carrie comment on Day 181. BCs Fionna and Svetlana are having fun with Color Street nails. Even though I feel like a beauty klutz, I try them and Mark reacts. Today’s dance moment is called Figure it Out and it’s a fun and quirky ditty I chose because it put a BIG smile on my face.

I take a photo to prove, even I, beauty klutz Laurie, can get my Color Street dry nail polish nails on!

New BCs

Yulia from Russia* who kindly wrote via email that she’s been listening for years.

*and head slap, BC Svetlana is ORIGINALLY from Russia…so that’s why something was tickling my poor old brain about did I already know a BC from Russia…

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

I’m definitely in the pondering mood as I catch my breath and consider what my heart has to tell me on the mountain.

Podcast Recap

Life has been a struggle, but I go hiking to find the quiet place to listen to my heart. Afterwards, I ponder why this time on the mountain was so unusually scary for me. Dawny calls to update us and to let me know she was thinking of me on Mother’s Day. Mary S. ponders anxiety and wonders if other BCs also struggle with this. Insight Timer provides a free meditation class.

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!
