  • Who’s Packing Your Parachute?

    Who is packing your parachute?

    I’m not the most practiced when it comes to religion, but I do have a very deep well of faith. Listening to this podcast on a weekly basis really keeps me centered and focused on the important things in life.

    Even if you’re not very religious (or don’t believe in a higher power at all) you will find this interesting. We all have people that helped us get to where we are today, and remembering that is very humbling.

    Perspective can be very powerful.

  • Joel Osteen in Chicago

    We purchased tickets a few months ago, but tonight we finally went to the Joel Osteen show in Chicago at the United Center. For those unfamiliar with him, he is head of a non-denominational ministry based in Huston Texas that my mom turned me onto over a year ago. Actually, she kept pestering me to listen to him and I only did once I realized he had a podcast I could download. Once I listened to the first one I was hooked.

    His teachings are very uplifting, inspirational, and hopeful and can really turn your thoughts around if you’re having a rough day.

    To find out more you can check out his web site, or download his podcast on iTunes.

    Just a few years ago I would not have imagined going to an event like this, much less enjoying it. But it was really quite amazing. Thanks Mom!
