Welcome back to what Tori thought would be feisty but in actuality was about love, grace, and acceptance! How fitting!! Our 20's are… well… unpredictable. And with expectations, comparisons, social media, a pandemic, and the factors of life and just being human, it's no wonder we all feel lost at times during our 20's. Hold on tight because this episode of Manifest with Tori DeSimone is in for a wild ride.  Tori dives into the turbulent and transformative journey of navigating the 20's. From unmasking societal expectations to embracing the unpredictable twists and turns, she explores the complexities of this pivotal decade. The discussion unfolds through the lens of personal experiences, touching on the pressure to conform to age-specific milestones and the pervasive culture of comparison exacerbated by social media. Dating, career paths, financial decisions, and the looming specter of a global pandemic add layers of complexity to the twenty-something experience. Tori urges listeners to break free from the predefined script, encouraging them to embrace their unique timelines and redefine success on their own terms. Amidst the chaos, the podcast advocates for self-compassion and acknowledges the shared struggles of the generation, offering a comforting reminder that the journey of self-discovery and growth in the twenties is a universal experience. Ultimately, the message is one of empowerment and resilience, encouraging individuals to navigate the twenties tango with authenticity and a sense of ownership.

The second-ever Manifest Book Club is here! This episode is on The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Tori is joined by Jennifer Saulino in today's bonus episode of Manifest with Tori DeSimone. The Power of Now takes what we learned in The Untethered Soul and applies it to our daily lives. We hope you loved this episode and book as much as we did!  The Power of Now by Ekhart Tolls: https://bit.ly/3MbL6Vu   Questions: “The Power of Now” proposes that the present moment is all we truly have. How did this concept resonate with you, and how do you interpret it? Eckhart Tolle identifies the mind as both the enemy and the vehicle to enlightenment. Can you share your thoughts on this paradox? How has “The Power of Now” changed your perception of time—past, present, and future? Tolle suggests that suffering stems from our identification with our minds. Did this resonate with you? Have you noticed instances in your life where this might be the case? Tolle refers to the ‘Now' as a portal to our eternal, indestructible essence. How do you interpret this concept? How did Tolle's teachings on ‘presence' and ‘Now' influence your day-to-day life? These 3 quotes are forms of meditation and presence which we know is the key to enlightenment.  1. “Close your eyes and pay attention to your breath. Now picture yourself in a room filled with light and start to breath in that light and bring it into your body and just focus on bringing the light in with breath.” 2. “Close your eyes and start with your toes working your way up going through each body part and really paying attention to each body part. What it feels like, what its touching, everything.” 3. “Think “I wonder what my next thought will be” and as you wait you will be thoughtless and can slowly go into the now.” How do you implement and practice meditation in your day-to-day life? Some questions pulled from: https://www.selectedreads.com/the-power-of-now-summary-and-book-club-questions/   https://amberfillerup.com/may-book-club-discussion-the-power-of-now/  The next book is The Christmas Guest by Peter Swanson: https://bit.ly/3sBZaB0  Episode comes out December 28, 2023.  Thank you Jen for coming on Manifest with Tori DeSimone!  Follow Jen: @jen_spiritjunkie  hiitsmejen.com  Sign up for our retreat at Stride Spin and Fitness on December 15 from 4-8 pm! https://stridespinandfitness.com/  Start hiring NOW with a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR SPONSORED JOB CREDIT to upgrade your job post at https://indeed.com/manifest.

Topics covered: Holiness, repentance, baptism in Jesus' name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost.

Ozark Highlands Radio is a weekly radio program that features live music and interviews recorded at Ozark Folk Center State Park’s beautiful 1,000-seat auditorium in Mountain View, Arkansas. In addition to the music, our “Feature Host” segments take listeners through the Ozark hills with historians, authors, and personalities who explore the people, stories, and history of the Ozark region. This week, Christmas songs both traditional & rare, performed by an interesting array of folk musicians, recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Hosts Dave Smith & Mark Jones present these festive archival holiday recordings. Mark Jones offers an archival recording of his father, Country Music Hall of Fame legend Grandpa Jones reciting a poem called “The Christmas Guest.” Aubry Atwater & Elwood Donnelly profile the story of folk music royalty Jean Ritchie’s first family Christmas tree. Musicians at the Ozark Folk Center State Park have been putting on Christmas music shows for over four decades. As with most music performed at the park, the Christmas music represented here is not your normal collection of holiday standards. You’ll hear a few songs that you know and love, as well as many others that you’ve likely never encountered before. The eclectic range of musicians performing on this edition of Ozark Highlands Radio include Grandpa Jones, Randall Hylton, The Dowden Sisters, The Lonesome Cowboys, Joni Bishop, Bob Olivera, The Heritage Quartet, and more. In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers an archival recording of his father, country music legend Grandpa Jones, reciting a poem called “The Christmas Guest,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. Renowned folk musicians Aubrey Atwater & Elwood Donnelly profile influential folk music icons Jean Ritchie and the Ritchie Family, as well as explore the traditional Appalachian music and dance that the Ritchie Family helped to perpetuate into the modern American folk lexicon. This episode relates Jean Ritchie’s own childhood memories of an early Ritchie Family Christmas.

'Twas the Thursday before Christmas and we have a poem to share; To remind us all of the best gift this time of year. These next few days as you prepare for Christmas Day – baking cookies for Santa, washing carrots for Comet and Rudolph, stuffing stockings, or making last minute trips to the mall to find the perfect gift for your loved ones – make sure you always remind yourself what this season is truly about. In this special Christmas edition of Monday Morning Mojo, Phil shares a childhood poem by Helen Steiner Rice entitled The Christmas Guest, which tells the story of a man who is shown what and who truly matters on Christmas Day. Quite often it is far too easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of holiday activities. This morning, we want you to pause and consider the real reason we celebrate the 25th of December.

It is the night before the Festival of Beltane, bonfires blaze as theotherworldly cast is close at hand, druids march to protect the living fires by way of their mystical chants. Jen and Johnny, the star-crossed lovers, attempt to flee from her father’s henchmen, but are caught and hanged. The Eve of Beltane then jumps centuries into the present, where our long lost lovers meet again as students at Notre Dame.
