Have You Ever One-dered??

Glad we continued this! We get to talk about one thing you proly don't need, and another that perhaps you really do. (Plus lots more.) Enjoy your trip, C

Y'all, I am two-question-mark-level incredulous about this situation. Come on in; this is important. You can still be you AND care for others, C

You don't have to do what everyone else is doing. I'm glad you're here, C

Unconventional choices can work out :) Free will is a thing, C

It's a Song of the Week! I am so excited to present to you this brand new music-centered feature on the show. Last year we had a blast (my word) listening to 300 albums and discussing them together. Ever since I have known that we were going to get back to holding space to talk specifically about music on the pod, regularly. And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the time is now!! So instead of album after album, we're going to talk about ONE SONG AT A TIME. - This week's FIFTIETH installment song is from Artist: Edwin Starr And is called “War.” It is from his 3rd studio album: War And Peace You can listen to his album version here: https://youtu.be/hZJRJpbGkG4?s... The Temptations album version here: https://youtu.be/b0e6Ymjajn8?s... And watch the video here: https://youtu.be/01-2pNCZiNk?s... Plus you can almost always grab a preview on my IG @whereschloe; it's up on the profile. - There is no hierarchy; these songs are going to be in basically a random order, chosen for reasons that I'll most likely expound upon within the episode. Along with an array of background, inspirations, time frame, album order, cultural context, related themes, personal experiences, etc. Any genre artist decade that I would listen to is up for grabs and who's to know what will be next and why? ;) Remember your favorites. Discover something new. One song of the week at a time for however long works. I'm ELATED that you're along for the ride, C

If you have a trip to somewhere coming up, and you'd like to have items with you that have a good chance at increasing convenience, ease, and/or comfort- I can vouch for a bunch these items, or their similarly useful counterparts. Safe travels, C

READ DESCRIPTION: Édité. Oh boy was there ever a not-caused-by-me technical issue today! Thankfully I make a simultaneous backup recording of every episode (seriously) but the mic I use for that has a slightly different sound quality from the main mic. So if you notice a difference, that's why. Crisis averted! - And now.. We did it! We considered every single one :) Inhale Joy, Exhale Satisfaction. Did you figure out what you want? C

It's a few strong suggestions of what NOT to do, from ppl who have seen some tough things. Free will is a gift, C

What if a little time in nature is just what you need? (Or a lot.) Deep breaths, fresh air, C

We had to finish it, you know? Not just to clear something uncomfortable, but also so you can be equipped with the knowledge. Hooray for authenticity, C PS: it's a long E my bad

Spending some time clarifying the progression and emphasizing the importance of alignment. We're almost home, C

How many of the things that ppl say to you are true, and how many are laying the groundwork for continued or future manipulation? Ugh. Hate to have to ask. But since we know it happens, let's be a little bit better prepared. Real care is real, C - Update: Remembered and Found ! https://www.reddit.com/media?u...

It might feel prohibitive at the moment, but you will travel again. Maybe even soon! What are you going to be wearing? Or very intentionally not wearing? It's a matter of import because you don't need one more thing bothering you, especially something that could have been prevented. It's beautiful out, C

We're almost back at flat ground. Don't you want to be enough? Yes, let's, C

The way you drive isn't just to get you where you're going. Stay mindful, C

I'm still tickled by these things ppl are randomly good at (and how they sometimes throw into stark relief things I am NOT good at lol) so I thought we'd come back. For the whimsy. It is needed. Glad you're here, C

What are the logistics behind these mishaps?? I mean it, go look at all the colors, C

Honesty. Communication. Knowledge. Strength. It's okay to want things, C

We've got to comprehend what it really means. It's a start, C

What would inspire someone to still be kind even after being mistreated? Wouldn't you love to know. Or perhaps you already do. No malice, C

Gosh, what can I say about this? Here: If you have the knowledge (or even the sneaking suspicion) that sometimes you do things for others in a way that might end up being damaging to your sense of self, even if it feels like it's coming from a good place, please listen in. I'm probably rooting for you, C

Little things are really important :) So glad you're here, C

(Read this first.) THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!!!!! I didn't get to say it at the very end, so let's start there. - This episode is *packed* It used to bother me a ton when I would plan too much for a show and then not get all of it in, but I know now that that's just how it goes sometimes! More humanity leaking through. I'm happy about the poem I chose, but I didn't want to shortchange other elements, so I decided at the end to read as much as I could, so you could hear some of the lilt, and include the rest below :) Allow, if you will, the slightly unfinished sound at the close to evoke for you the idea that there is always more to come. - This Morning Again It Was in the Dusty Pines by Mary Oliver Not in shyness but in disgust the owl turns its face from me and pours itself into the air, hurrying until it is out of sight — and, after all, even if we came by some miracle upon a language which we both knew, what is it I might say there in the orange light of early morning, in the owl's resting time, that would have any pluck and worth in it? — not admonition, or blame, and not recrimination, and not, I say, unholy weeping, and not, for god's sake, any bending of the knees in the cold and rough grass under its gold and glassy eyes which, in such a conversation, you must imagine turned upon you. So l cannot improve upon the scene as it happens: my opportunity and my stony silence as death rises up — god's bark-colored thumb - and opens the sheath of its wings and turns its hungry, hooked head upon me, and away, and softly, lamp-eyed, becomes the perfect, billowing instrument as it glides through the wind like a knife. - What else can I say? C ^_^

Make your own life work for the real you! Your mind is a terrible thing to have judged by someone else, C

Head's up: We spend a lot of time talking about silence, and yes I see the irony. Inhale, exhale, C

Before we stop talking about this (for now), let's see if we can understand others a little better. Because hopefully, by now, you understand your own financial health and situation more than you did when we first started discussing this. But what's going on with your neighbors, your family, your friends? Though they may not tell you specifically, we can look at some of the trends and recommendations and make inferences and observations. Trying to save more money, like everything else you do, impacts the way you show up in your community and in the world at large. So it helps to understand where we are and where others might be as we aspire towards a life where we feel secure and happy, and a society where everyone has access to what they need. Keep going; you can do it, C

Any day is a good day for renewal if that's the day that it strikes you to move towards it. But sometimes now feels (or is) better than before. Happy First Full Week of Spring! C

Not a song! And not a lengthy a discussion of the show this is a quote from. But something altogether.. different. So glad you, and your mind, are here, C

Boy oh boy, there's a lot here. Be encouraged in the fact that even your complex desires can be valid. Thank you so much for being here on this journey, C

We've been talking about saving money for awhile and mostly getting practical advice from average, money-spending people. But what do the big experts say? Is it going to be useful? Can we make it a worthwhile part of our plans? Let's see, C

This is the continuation of what we've been discussing for quite awhile now- That it is okay to want. And perhaps by acknowledging what you want, it can help you to ascertain who, and how, and where you'd like to be. To possibility, C
