As neurodivergent humans, especially those of us waltzing through life with ADHD, we know the exhilaration of diving headfirst into creative passions, only to find ourselves in a lull later. In this episode, I'll share my thoughts + actionable tips on how we can keep our hobbies alive and kicking during the cozy fall and winter seasons! Episode Highlights: - Why you should try creating mystery boxes for yourself - How to take advantage of your creative juices (especially when it's flowing in short bursts) - Staying connected with your hobbies through low-barrier activities - Setting up household hobby nights - Why you need to regularly take yourself out on artist dates - Developing a mindful approach to decluttering your hobby space Noteworthy Quote: "Lots of those dormant hobbies, especially the ones that you are no longer really connecting with, may represent good intentions. You know, like a promise you made to yourself, "I'm really going to commit to this thing," and then it just doesn't work out. Not a moral failing; people do that all the time."

This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, May 8, 2023, and this is Episode #19 of Series 2023. This episode is titled "America: The Land of Compliant Cowards?" Eighteenth-century Anglo-Irish statesman, economist, and philosopher, Edmund Burke, is purportedly to have said that "the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Whether Burke actually said this or not, the truth of the statement remains. Evil flourishes when good men do nothing to stop it. Such is the condition of our country today. And of most countries in the world. We have a global situation in which very few of the good people remaining are doing anything to stop the evil. Why is this? I believe there are several reasons, among which are the following: 1) An erroneous belief that we are so far gone that no protest will matter because we can't stop the decline. 2) A weariness at trying over and over to push back the tide of evil, but without seeing any results. 3) A despair that one person can still make a difference. But one person can still make a difference! Even if there is no turning back of evil, there is still the turning back of one individual person at a time from evil to good. There are still people out there who are truly searching for truth. But they don't know where to find it. That is where you and I who are Christ-Followers come in. We must go out into the harvest fields and reap the harvest. The Bible says in Luke 10: 2 that "the harvest is great but the laborers are few." Will you be one of those laborers? You might ask how have we come to this? Well, I have an opinion, and it has to do with the men of America. I believe that we have a shortage of men in America. I'm not talking about numbers; I'm talking about character. A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post titled "Are You Suffering from a Father Wound?". A father wound represents the hurt inflicted on a child by the man who sired him or her. The response to that post was stunning. It told me that the number of people suffering from a father wound is astronomical. So, what does this mean? It has long been my contention, based on my observations and experience as a Certified Life Coach and a Certified Biblical Counselor, that America has millions of males but very few men. You might be asking, "What's the difference?" Here, in my humble opinion, is the difference between men and males. And it is huge. 1__A male is out for his own gratification, usually in the areas of sexual lust, greed, and power. A male thinks only of meeting his own needs and doesn't care for the effect of his actions on others. A male will bail out on his responsibilities to the women he has used, or the wife he has married, and the children he has sired. And he will bail out without compunction and without looking back. A male will not stand up for what is right but will pursue the path of least resistance. The path that aligns with his own selfish motives. 2__A man, on the other hand, puts aside his own needs for the needs of those he loves.

This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, April 10, 2023, and this is Episode #15 of Series 2023. This episode is titled "Are You Suffering from a Father Wound?" What is a father wound? According to Focus on the Family's Alfred C.W. Davis, the father wound is "the absence of love from one's birth father." * Father wounds stem from many causes, but bottomline, a father wound results from one's earthly father's not meeting one's physical, emotional, psychological, or spiritual needs. This failure to meet a child's needs can result from abuse, absence, domination, or death. It can also result from the withholding of love for whatever reason. Regardless of the cause, the pain of the wound is the same—deep and lingering. The most common effect of a father wound is lack of self-worth, usually resulting in performance syndrome. The child comes to believe that he has to perform in order to be loved. And so begins the vicious cycle of doing, instead of being, the vicious cycle that ends up destroying the child and his future relationships, even into adulthood. Some symptoms of the father wound are the following: __Feelings of unworthiness. "I'm not good enough." __Feelings of being stupid. "I'll never get this." __Feelings of inadequacy and incompetence. "I'm a loser." __Feelings of being unloved or unlovable. "Who would want to love me?" Those suffering from father wounds usually experience constant, underlying inner pain and are often unaware of the cause. It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that our souls can be healed and restored. You see, when we are born again, it is our spirits that are made perfect. This is called justification. We are instantaneously justified before God by the Blood of Christ. Our souls, however --our mind, will, and emotions--are still wounded and scarred and need to be healed. This healing process, which can take a lifetime, is what the Bible calls sanctification--that is, becoming holy. So, once we have been born again--that is, once we have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord—He can begin healing the father wound. The healing of the father wound comes under the heading of sanctification. This means that, little by little, the Holy Spirit restores our wounded souls. He reveals lies we have believed about our fathers. He gives us understanding of the reasons our fathers acted the way they did. He does not condone our fathers' actions. Rather, He helps us to understand them so that we can more readily forgive our fathers. Father wounds often involve lies from the devil. For example, a father wound can cause us to believe we are worthless and good for nothing. But, when we read the Word of God, we discover the truth about ourselves. We discover who we truly are in Christ—that we are enough because God says we are. We are not stupid, because we have the mind of Christ. We are not losers, but we are more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us. We are worthy of love because God loves us and died to save us. Probably the worst effect of a father wound is that it giv...
