EPISODE 30: Lovespiration - Thanks LOVE Giving

On November 11, 2018, a magical happening occurred in Pasadena, CA.  The event was the first ever LOVE FORWARD TALKS and the title was "Thanks+Love+Giving." Seven speakers gathered to contemplate how we can insert more love into our divided political and personal landscapes, how we can insert more love into our daily lives, into the holidays. This Thanksgiving episode was inspired by that event:  a guided meditation to prepare our hearts for the Thanksgiving and upcoming holidays. 
Our hearts tend to be more tender during these times.  This is a guided meditation that may help you take care of yours.  Enjoy!
And..
Speaking of holidays...You can pre-order Superhero of Love: Heal Your Broken Heart & Then Go Save the World now on Amazon and let your gift recipient know that it will arrive in their mailboxes around January 3rd to start their new heart year off right.

EPISODE 28: Patti Pagliei - Designing and Leading Waxing Poetic from the Heart

Patti Pagliei followed her heart after she lost her dot com job.  She's starting creating beautiful things.  Soon what touched her heart as she created her art was touching the hearts of thousands. Her companies Waxing Poetic and Personally Poetic have touched hundreds of thousands at this point with the beauty and poetry she instills in every piece. 
Patti talks about overcoming many challenges - cancer, the fires, floods and mudslides of Santa Barbra, nurturing her family through health scares, and all that can possibly thwart a precious "tiny and mighty" idea for a business that has grown up to make a huge difference in people's lives.
Patti mentioned this poem (by Waxing Poetics in house poet, Brianna Colburn) during the interview which is emblematic of how she lives her life and runs her business:
Be brave, be bright, be brilliant, be wild.
Roses have managed it for centuries, so can we.
 
Also you will hear mention of Patti's amazing husband, John Simpson, an entrepreneur himself, who expresses his artistic self via music.  The exciting upcoming gig she mentions is Saturday, 11/17 at 8 p.m. at Lobero Theatre.  Check out the The Double Wide Kings Play Neil Young.
Check out their store The Shopkeepers when you are next in Santa Barbara. You will feel Patti's heart beating in every corner!
 

EPISODE 27: Points of Commonality from a Point of Light: Volcanologist Jess Phoenix

Jess Phoenix ran for Congress this year in California's 25th District.  She is the Democratic daughter of two Republican FBI agents.  She was in high school just up the street from Columbine when what everyone who thought would be the last high school shooting occurred.  She thought the adults would take care of it.  Soon she was an adult, stepping up to make a difference herself. 
 
Jess deals with climate change every single day as a volcanogist, geologist and with her nonprofit environmental scientific research organization, Blueprint Earth.
 
In all of her roles - daughter, congressional candidate, scientist, etc. -- she has developed a true gift of finding points of commonality.  Yes, even in the times of extreme dissension and violence, she has a way with our hearts: speaking to them, teaching them and inspiring the hell out of them.
 
Let's follow Jess's advice: "If we can just show each other more empathy... now that's something we want to go viral."  Post on all social media your tips for finding points of commonality, for being a point of light in your life, bringing LOVE into our current landscape of dissension and division.  Post your tips and tag them:  #ThanksLOVEgiving #loveitforward #superherooflove
