Awakin Call
Lucy Grace -- The Pulse of Nature: Opening to the Unplanned Path

Awakin Call

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 27, 2024


**Please note special time for this call.  Lucy Grace never intended to embark upon a formal spiritual path. Yet again and again, she felt called deeper into it. Raised by a young, single mother in an impoverished neighborhood in New Zealand, Lucy experienced significant trauma throughout childhood. Her neighborhood was riddled with gang violence and burglaries. Her mother worked at a secondhand shop, and meager earnings meant they sometimes went without food, heat, furniture, or schoolbooks - much less trips or vacations. They did not have the means for a car until Lucy turned fourteen. Despite the violence and trauma Lucy experienced and witnessed, she often felt joyful as a child. She also had a keen sense that though she didn't fit, she was in the wrong place. As an only child without much exposure to the world beyond her immediate surroundings, Lucy discovered the gift of spaciousness within herself. She describes her relative isolation as a kind of "welfare-child ashram". In her poem, "Kairos Time," she wrote, "I lived my whole life / on a whim and a dime / - on God's time / found solace and / wonderment / in the light that lives / inside the darkest quiet." Since childhood, Lucy has lived many lives, including graduating from college and working as a television journalist for New Zealand's largest national news channel, Channel One News. For 15 years, she worked as a humanitarian aid worker based in Europe for UNICEF, Save the Children, Fairtrade, and Oxfam. She has worked in orphanages and disaster zones around the world, helping to bring relief to people who are suffering. Returning to New Zealand in her early thirties, Lucy navigated a sudden debilitating illness with no recognizable cause. When she was thirty-six, she became a mother and experienced a sense of total separation in which she felt severed from the inner guidance that had accompanied her since she was a child. Many of the things she loved - including her career, marriage, and home - also came to an end during this time. But with a gentle cheerfulness, Lucy sees that her whole life has been about attuning to nature's messages - and learning to move with them. "There are things that want to happen and we can feel that pull," she has said. "And the plans of life are always so much more amazing and incredible than little Lucy's brain can think up." Today, Lucy is a spiritual guide who humbly observes that we are, each of us, teachers. She is also a mystic, holistic therapist, and the author of This Untameable Light, a book of poems that, in Adyashanti’s words, “shine with the light of deeply embodied spirit. A dance of light upon the land.” She is based in New Zealand and offers occasional retreats in other parts of the world, helping "unlock and integrate" the unique truths and wisdom in each of us. Join us on April 27 for a call with this mystic poet and deeply relatable spiritual guide, who regards her mother and daughter as her greatest gurus.     My Mothers’ love  ...I love you—in all your ways and always will!She taught me God will too, you will too, life will too, no matter what I am, aren't, do or don't do.And what else is there? Somewhere in my marrow is the sense that all of life is benevolentand it loves me like she did, without exception, without expectation-conditionlessShe gave me unearned-love's freedom, no life-lines to toe, no scripts to follow.So who needs dollars and cents? That's her gift, that'sinheritance... Thank you  ...We are all haunted, grace-filled beings-I was just trying to live with the hauntings, wasn't seeking, anything.But you brought me to my knees, you broke me bodily (the heart was just the half of it.) You opened me,white flagged the wars in me.My three-foot guru, in gumboot feet... The call will be moderated by our volunteers Mark Peters, and Mili Nair, a young teenager "exploring life through the wonders of sentences and words, periods and exclamation marks"!

From writing speeches for sitting Senators and Presidential candidates to acting as Vice President of Channel One News to writing the teleplay that earned Kyra Sedgwick her first Emmy nomination, today's guest, writer, and activist Roger Wolfson, has been in the room where it happens, achieving remarkable success in the fields of news, politics, and entertainment. Roger was also Commissioner of Animal Services for the city of Los Angeles, where he fought to establish and maintain Los Angeles as a no-kill city and implement a plant-based diet for all shelter dogs.   Tune in to this must-listen episode, where we discuss everything from the inner workings of Washington, to the challenges of writing in Hollywood, to how we can really make a difference as activists!    “You know, over the years, I've become a more spiritual person. I've done a lot more reflection. I've tried to grow as a human being. I've failed at times, and I've succeeded in others. But I do believe that when you eat meat when you participate in that level of hypocrisy and willful ignorance and cruelty, it's damaging to the soul. Profoundly damaging.” – Roger Wolfson   What we discuss in this episode: Roger's upbringing and what inspired him to become vegan. How becoming vegan empowered him to make other positive life choices. Why Roger became such a passionate activist. The challenges of communication in Washington. Why he chose to leave Washington and write for film and television. How Roger learned diplomacy as a writer in Los Angeles. Steps activists can take to become more effective.

Most any high school basketball player in the 1970s dreamed of the opportunity to play for Coach John Wooden, one of the most respected and successful coaches of all time. Andy Hill earned that chance on a UCLA team that won 3 straight National Championships from 1970-72 (part of a string of 7) along with such legends as Bill Walton, Henry Bibby and Jamaal Wilkes. The only issue for Andy was that he spent much of those 3 years as a reserve on the bench. After graduating, Andy carried some unresolved feelings about his time on the team. 25 years passed before Andy decided to call Coach Wooden and connect over the phone. During that time prior to his phone call, Andy's career was skyrocketing, with such roles as the President of CBS Productions and Channel One News. But there is nothing quite like the bond with a former coach. Immediately, the unresolved for Andy was resolved and a new friendship was established. As they spent more time together, Coach Wooden's influence became more evident (past and present). They went on to write a book together, Be Quick—But Don't Hurry: Finding Success in the Teachings of a Lifetime.  Tune into this follow-up conversation from February 2021 to learn more about Andy's journey, his friendships, and his life lessons from basketball and TV.

But he claims he cannot lose, and if he does, it will be due to massive fraud.  He is saying his election bid can have only three outcomes: Prison, Death or Victory.  Will he accept a defeat if he loses?4)  Can former Pres.

I had the pleasure of researching a business opportunity several years ago with Andy Hill. The title speaks for itself but the podcast is even more insightful about what it was like to play Basketball for UCLA under John Wooden, while basketball greats ruled the court. He goes on to talk about life as an executive with CBS and Channel One News. This man is a legend in my world and I am honored to spend time with him. I will never forget our adventures with Bill Walton as we visited the Grateful Dead's drummer, Mickey Heart at his home in San Francisco to talk music and everything in between. Andy also co-wrote “Be Quick—But Don't Hurry! Finding Success in the Teachings of a Lifetime with Wooden - available on Amazon. Your Host Jim Riley - Founder and CEO of Baja United Group
