It's Monday, Let's raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let's begin Exploring the Wine Glass!  Today, we're heading to one of the most fascinating and picturesque corners of the wine world: Alto Adige. Nestled in the northernmost province of Italy and flanked by the dramatic Dolomites, this region is a true meeting place of contrasts—Italian charm with Austrian roots, loamy soils supporting both classic and lesser-known varieties, and a DOC that's currently 65% white wine, despite a much different past. I recently had the pleasure of attending a webinar with Susannah Gold and Mathias Messner of Cantina Bolzen, and let me tell you, Alto Adige is more than just breathtaking views. We'll explore what makes this region so unique, from its multi-lingual culture to its high-altitude vineyards, and of course, we'll chat about some standout wines—think Kerner, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and a beautifully crisp Pinot Blanc. So pour yourself a glass, and let's head to the crossroads of cultures, climates, and some seriously impressive winemaking.  Slainte!    Find out more about Cantina Bolzen  here Music: WINE by Kēvens Official Video Follow me on Instagram!   Follow me on Twitter!

Send us a textOn this episode of Speaking of … College of Charleston, Mark Del Mastro, Associate Provost for Academic and International Programs, and Chris Korey, Associate Provost for Student Success, talk about launching their new podcast, Faculty Off the Clock. This podcast takes you beyond the classroom to reveal the hidden lives of College of Charleston faculty. From woodworking enthusiasts to barbershop quartet singers, you'll meet professors with fascinating passions and stories that go far beyond academia. Korey and Del Mastro hope these conversations will highlight not only unique interests of the guests but will function as a bridge to connect people on campus with shared interests. “Both Mark and I were faculty members at one point, and most of your identity on campus is sort of tied up into what your scholarship is and teaching and you very rarely have opportunities to talk about what you do outside of that,” says Korey. “So we wanted to create a venue where people have the opportunity to talk about those things because it doesn't normally come up in our work environments.”Humor is a big part of their collaboration and Del Mastro and Korey make a habit of asking their guests a series of lightening round questions on topics from hot dogs vs. hamburgers to celebrity crushes. They also make it a point to ask guests about whether they like popcorn, which is a shared love and an ongoing joke between the hosts, and it gives them an opportunity to share their love of the Whirley Pop stove-pop popper. They end the episode by presenting guests with a customized bobblehead doll. “The whole purpose of the podcast is to show the lighter side of the faculty member and what better characterizes the lighter side of someone than a bobblehead?” says Del Mastro. Featured on this episode:Mark Del MastroAs Associate Provost for Academic and International Programs, Mark P. Del Mastro, Professor of Spanish/Hispanic Studies, provides leadership and support in the area of curriculum development and review and academic policy.

After defending his doctoral dissertation in August 1992, “Dr. D” relocated to Charleston, South Carolina to begin a career at The Citadel, where for 18 years he taught a variety of courses to include Spanish language and literature, and Hispanic culture and business.After serving four years as Head of The Citadel's Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, in July 2010 Del Mastro joined the College of Charleston where he served as Chair of the Department of Hispanic Studies until August 2019 when he transitioned to his current role as Associate Provost for Academic and International Programs in the Office of the Provost and Academic Affairs.Chris KoreyAs Associate Provost for Student Success, Christopher Korey, Professor of Biology, leads the Office for the Academic Experience, which provides students with educationally purposeful activities that lead to deep learning, integrated social and intellectual development, and engagement with local and global communities.

From the racquetball courts of junior college to the C-suite at Southwest Airlines—and now as CEO of Lionheart Children's Academy - Jeff Lamb's journey is a masterclass in unexpected opportunity, bold conviction, and servant leadership. In this episode, Jeff recounts pivotal moments that shaped his career—from working in the mailroom at Mesa Petroleum under T. Boone Pickens, to being mentored by Roger Staubach, and eventually leading people operations at one of America's most beloved airlines. Jeff unpacks how the intentionality behind career choices, culture building, and investing in people created lasting impact across companies. He also shares how his current role at Lionheart Academy brings together business excellence and faith-based mission—creating a scalable model for transformational early childhood education in partnership with churches. Whether you're leading a team, thinking through your next big move, or looking to build a values-driven organization, Jeff's story will inspire you to think differently about leadership, influence, and legacy. “Boone Pickens told me, ‘You can coach in the corporate world.' That changed my life.” - Jeff Lamb “If everyone's telling you the same thing, you don't need seven of them. The ability to respectfully disagree is a mark of real leadership.” - Jeff Lamb “At Southwest, when it came down to choosing between the customer and the employee—we chose the employee. And the financial results followed.” - Jeff Lamb This Week on The Wow Factor: How a failed attempt at junior college football redirected Jeff's path toward business Lessons learned working under T. Boone Pickens at Mesa Petroleum What it was like being mentored by Roger Staubach—and playing flag football with him Jeff's rise to Chief People Officer at Southwest Airlines and his time with Herb Kelleher and Colleen Barrett The power of presence, handwritten notes, and servant leadership in building culture Why Lionheart Academy is merging business and ministry to reshape early childhood education The challenge of regulated expansion across states—and why focus beats speed in scaling impact Jeff Lamb's Word of Wisdom:Pick a word. Pick a focus. Communicate clarity around it. For Jeff, that word this year is Unity—rooted in Philippians 2:1–2. In leadership and in life, clarity breeds direction. When everything's important, nothing is. Choose wisely.

Gratitude isn't a garnish! It's the main dish. In Part 2 of our conversation with “The Gratitude Guy” Kevin Monroe, we roll up our sleeves and get practical. This episode is all about turning appreciation into action — without falling into the traps of toxic positivity or meaningless thanks. You'll learn how to deploy gratitude as a leadership strategy, how to make it part of your workplace rhythms, and why it transforms not just your team culture but your people's *entire lives*. (And honestly, yours too.) If Part 1 was the “why,” this one is the “how.” This isn't about feel-good fluff. It's about building a joy-filled, high-performing workplace on purpose. Here's what we talked about:03:15 Don't Be That Guy: Why bad behavior cancels out even your best thank-yous 06:37 The ripple is real: How gratitude multiplies inside and outside of work. 11:16 Practice, not perfection: How to make gratitude an ongoing practice, part of your leadership and team rhythm. 12:43 Stop sprinkling. Start deploying: Three steps to use gratitude well. 15:46 The 4S Formula: The four parts every "thank you" needs to actually land. 20:04 The Big Bocks: How to deploy gratitude today. One thing you can do to create a and why generative workplace that wins. Here's the real real? Cultures that prioritize joy and gratitude don't just "retain" employees. They freaking energize them. If you're tired of Band-Aid solutions and empty gestures, this episode is your blueprint for doing it differently — and doing it right.

The JTS Commentary for Behar - Behukkotai by Dr. Marjorie Lehman, Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics and Area Chair of Rabbinic Literatures and Cultures, JTSMusic provided by JJReinhold / Pond5

So, let's talk about time—specifically, linear time.We, as human beings, have experiences that are very similar to one another.And part of that similarity comes from our agreement to live within linear time and space.That's actually what it means to be human on Earth.There's an agreement—an unspoken, collective agreement—that we're going to experience time in a linear way.And the human agreements are what help us stay connected to this shared experience.Now, when we talk about linear time, what do we mean?Timeless Travels: How Your Awareness Shapes RealityThe word “linear” refers to something that moves in a straight line—something that progresses from one point to another.So, when we think about time in a linear sense, we're talking about a line that moves from the past, through the present, and into the future.This model helps us stay oriented.It helps us stay “on time,” as we say.We've even created equipment and systems—like calendars and clocks—to define and measure these parts of the timeline.We label them as past, present, and future.It's a way to help everyone stay on the same page, so to speak.You can think of time like a train moving along a track.The train has already been somewhere—that's the past.It's here now—that's the present.And it's going somewhere—that's the future.That's the essence of linear time: a sense of progression.Something happened before now, and something will happen after.Now, here's where it gets interesting.The reference point for time is individual awareness.In other words, your personal awareness is what anchors you in time.That's what connects all of us—more or less—to experiencing time in a similar way.We're all agreeing to follow the same general passage of time, even though our individual experiences may vary.We're agreeing not to each have our own completely separate timelines.Instead, we're syncing our awareness to a shared understanding: there was a past, there is a present, and there likely will be a future.That shared awareness is what makes time feel real and structured.So, in that way, time is not just a concept—it's a dimension of experience.It's how we, as individuals, connect our awareness to space.We live in three dimensions—height, width, and depth—and then time is brought in as the fourth dimension.And yes, this is where it starts to stretch the brain a bit!Because now we're starting to ask: what's outside of linear time?One way to think about linear time is to imagine it from a bird's-eye view.From that higher perspective, you can see the entire timeline—past, present, and future—all at once.On Earth, we experience time as a progression, but from this broader view, it's all happening simultaneously.And that's where things start to shift.Because when you leave Earth—when you go into space—you begin to disconnect from the Earth-based reference point for time.You're no longer grounded in the same way.Out there, in the vastness of space, time becomes entirely about your awareness in the present moment.So, if a human being goes into space, they carry their Earth-based agreements with them.They still try to live by the same time markers—wake at 6 a.m., sleep at 9 p.m.—but the reference point has changed.Time becomes about the awareness of what you're doing in this present moment.And that opens up a new way of thinking.Because if time is about awareness, then different people—and different cultures—can experience time very differently.Some people don't live by strict deadlines.They're not stressed about time.They just flow with it.And yes, their experience of time is different.Not because the clock is different, but because the value they place on time is different.That's why some cultures are very precise—6:00 a.m. means exactly 6:00 a.m.Other cultures are more relaxed—6:00 a.m. is just the general time you might start thinking about starting something.So, time becomes a cultural agreement, too.And how a culture relates to time can reflect how it deals with uncertainty.Cultures that crave certainty tend to be more rigid with time.Cultures that are more comfortable with the unknown tend to be more fluid.And when you're more fluid with time, you're also more open to uncertainty.You're less attached to exactness and more in tune with the flow of experience.Take, for example, Aboriginal Dreamtime in Australia.That's a much more fluid experience of time.It's not about the ticking of a clock.It's about an expanded experience of the present moment.In that worldview, a moment could be a second—or it could be an hour, a week, or even longer.The present moment stretches across the entire experience.There aren't the same clear-cut divisions between past, present, and future.And that's why, when we ask the question “What is time?”—the answer is always relative to the reference point.It's not about the clock.It's about the awareness.Time is a span of awareness.It's something that we define mechanically—yes—but also something we experience personally.Mechanically, time is linear.Experientially, it's whatever your awareness is tuned into.And that's where resonance comes in.Resonance is how energy flows and harmonizes.From a linear view, resonance is the harmonics of frequency.But resonance can also exist outside of physical reality.It's about how your awareness connects to the flow of energy.The reference point for time is always bestowed by the individual.It's an emerging point of awareness—of your personal flow of energy.That flow becomes your experience of physical reality.But it's mediated by our mechanical systems—clocks, calendars, and so on.Time, then, is awareness of your motion and intention.It's how your awareness moves through the continuum—from potential to form.And in that sense, all flows of energy have awareness and knowing.Time is not just about tracking hours and minutes.It's about experiencing motion, intention, and the unfolding of awareness.So, when we talk about time, we're really talking about the awareness of being—of existing—within space, motion, and possibility.And that's a powerful thing to understand.Because once you know that, you can begin to experience time in a whole new way.Lastly, a tip to connecting outside of time and spaceHow to Collect Evidence of Your ConnectionLove, Doubt can creep in when connecting with your higher self.Combat this doubt by collecting evidence of your intuitive abilities.Recall times when you felt a connection and list those moments.Document instances of following intuitive guidance that led to positive outcomes.The more evidence you gather, the more confidence you'll build in your abilities.This practice rewires your subconscious beliefs about your intuition.Trust that the more you engage with your higher self, the clearer the guidance will become.Your journey of connection is ongoing and will evolve with time.Celebrate each small victory along the way. Thank you for being you and for being here.PS: Look out for part two where we explore how these unusual time perceptions might signal a shift in consciousness, potentially linked to multi-dimensional experiences. Tap into how time anomalies offer both challenges and exciting opportunities for personal and collective evolution.The Light Between is a reader-supported publication.

If you are feeling stuck or weighed down by physical or emotional pain- as a clairvoyant, I've spent my life exploring the human energy field behind my salon chair and as a hypnotherapist— and what I've discovered may surprise you. ✅ Short answer: Yes, your energy field can block light. ❗ Longer answer: It won't stay blocked for long — light waves are here to dissolve those blocks and help you shift into higher vibrations!

In this episode, we explore the concept of kingdom influence and how professionals can use their skills, abilities, and positions to advance the principles of the kingdom of God. We delve into biblical texts, particularly from the book of Matthew, to illustrate how believers are called to create cultural impact. We discuss the Great Commission and the potential for the gospel to shape nations. Through the example of Joseph in Egypt, we see how professional excellence, alongside godly character and charisma, can lead to significant influence. The discussion emphasizes the importance of integrating kingdom principles into corporate and societal structures, thus uplifting communities and fostering an environment that reflects the values of heaven.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITSkepticism meets diplomacy in this thought-provoking conversation about news, accusations, and international relations. We begin by questioning recent allegations against 85-year-old Smokey Robinson, pondering why accusations from nearly two decades ago are surfacing now. Is this a genuine pursuit of justice or simply an attempt to access a celebrity's wealth before their passing? Our candid analysis expresses concern about a cultural trend where accusations without substantial evidence can permanently damage reputations and lives.The heart of our discussion focuses on Trump's recent diplomatic tour of Arab nations, where we wrestle with the fundamental tension between building peace and addressing human rights concerns. How do we engage with cultures whose values differ dramatically from our own? Should we prioritize diplomatic progress and economic cooperation over ideological alignment? We explore the fascinating possibility that Trump's pragmatic approach might be creating inroads where previous administrations struggled, particularly with cultures that view American social changes with bewilderment or concern.Throughout our conversation, we acknowledge the genuine complexity of these issues. We recognize the stark differences between America's short-term policy goals and Middle Eastern cultures' millennium-spanning perspectives. Rather than offering oversimplified solutions, we invite you to consider these nuances alongside us. Whether you're interested in current events, international relations, or cultural differences, this episode offers a refreshing, thoughtful take on today's headlines that goes beyond partisan talking points.

We're pleased to welcome Dr. Peter Krapp, the author of Computing Legacies: Digital Cultures of Simulation (MIT Press, 2024), to the New Books Network.  In Computing Legacies, Peter Krapp explores a media history of simulation to excavate three salient aspects of digital culture. Firstly, he profiles simulation as cultural technique, enabling symbolic work and foregrounding hypothetical literacy. Secondly, he positions simulation as crucial for the preservation of cultural memory, where modeling, emulation, and serious play are constitutive in how we relate to our mediated history. And lastly, despite suggestions that we may already live in a simulation, he interrogates how simulation can serve as critique of the computer age. In tracing our digital heritage, Computing Legacies elucidates inflection points where quantitative data becomes tractable for qualitative evaluations: modeling epidemics for scientific study or entertainment, emulating older devices, turning numerical calculations into music, conducting espionage in virtual worlds, and gamifying higher education. Simulation, this book demonstrates, is pivotal not only to high-tech research and to archives, museums, and the preservation of digital culture but also to our understanding of what it is to live and work under the technical conditions of computing. Dr. Peter Krapp is a Professor of Film & Media Studies, English, and Music at UC-Irvine.

Hello and welcome. Today is a beautiful day where I live. The sky is a mix of blue and white clouds. I've already been outside playing with my horse this morning. It's such a joy to see him roll around—he almost looks like he's laughing—and he loves the grass so much. Right now, the grass here is a vivid green, though it won't last much longer. In California, within another month or two, everything usually turns brown. We've had more rain than usual this year, so for now, welcome to my green world. Today's Focus: Expanding Wealth Today, we're going to expand our potential for wealth—more and more wealth. We'll look at where we already have abundance in our lives and invite even more of what we've been designing to show up in our current reality. This past week, I did some interesting past-life regression work and found some exceptionally uncomfortable lifetimes stored in my body. It's not my favorite feeling, especially after a good night's sleep, but it does call for awareness. If you're experiencing parts of your reality that don't yet match your desires, you're not alone. I've been on this planet for a few decades, and I've learned that sometimes our dreams and reality don't align perfectly—yet. For example, I've dreamed of living on a horse ranch, and now I do! My car is a close match for what I desire too, though I see an electric car in my future. Expansion often happens when we can love what we have while still inviting what we desire. Setting Up for Meditation Today, we're going to dive into a guided meditation. Please give yourself the next 10 minutes. This time is for you, to allow a real shift toward the life you've been seeking. This is the Energy Clearing for Life podcast. I'm excited to share that I now offer a 12-week intensive where I work directly with you, specifically for your transformation. We clear past relationships, narcissistic relationships, energy vampire relationships, and we invite in a new peacefulness, calming your nervous center. I can additionally help you expand your social presence—grow your followers and friends naturally, the way I do. If you'd like to explore working together, send me an email at happypublishing@gmail.com. Begin the Guided Meditation Sit up straight with your head balanced comfortably over your shoulders. (I'm feeling a lot of energy releasing already—some of it may be yours. I'm highly intuitive and often tap into the audience this way.) Take a deep breath. Place your feet firmly on the ground about a foot apart. Connecting with Earth Energy Imagine pulling Earth energy up through the balls of your feet. Pull that beautiful energy up through your knees. Now, bring red energy through the base of your spine—the root chakra. This chakra is tied to your sense of security. Allow this energy to deepen, helping you feel more grounded and connected. Opening the Second Chakra: Creativity and Money Next, roll orange energy through your second chakra (located near your sexual organs). This chakra relates to money, creativity, and sexual energy. Imagine a clockwise circle of orange light spinning here. Ask it to release anything outdated or heavy—especially old traumas stored from past lives. Allow silver energy to flow into this space, refreshing and healing it. Strengthening the Third Chakra: Self-Care and Confidence Move up to your third chakra, located at your solar plexus. This area glows a bright yellow and governs self-care and personal power. Send bright, healing yellow light through your solar plexus and allow any tension or stuck energy to clear. Opening the Heart Chakra: Healing and Compassion Now move up into your heart chakra. You might want to place your hand over your heart. The heart chakra vibrates with a green color. It connects you to the Divine and to compassion. Many of us carry wounds here from betrayal or loss. Without needing to relive the pain, simply ask for healing, strength, and balance in this beautiful heart space. Clearing the Throat Chakra: Speaking Your Truth Next, move into the throat chakra. This chakra shines a blue color. Roll beautiful, clear blue energy through your throat. This is your center for speaking your truth. Cultures across history often silenced people—children, women, even young princes. Release any leftover energy or belief systems that keep you from speaking freely. Breathe in fresh blue energy and allow your voice to strengthen. Awakening the Third Eye Chakra: Intuition and Knowing Now move up into the third eye chakra, which vibrates a violet color. This chakra holds telepathic capacities and clear knowing (claircognizance). In many past lives, people with these abilities were persecuted. Send love and healing to any part of you that has been wounded for being intuitive. Ask to be the best vessel for your Divine awareness, without fear or hesitation. Expanding Beyond: Morphogenetic Chakras Now, extend your awareness to the seventh through fifteenth chakras—the morphogenetic chakras. They surround you and connect you to higher consciousness and the Earth. Simply ask: "God, please clear all my morphogenetic chakras. Please help me release anything holding me back." Inviting Wealth into Every Area Now let's consciously invite wealth into every part of your life: Wealth in your body, hands, teeth, shoulders Wealth in your bank account Wealth in your savings account Wealth where you once leaked energy—now fully healed Surround yourself with the feeling of wealth. See if you can notice one area of your life where you are already wealthy. For me: I am wealthy with my beautiful horse. I am wealthy with my three beautiful children growing up. I am wealthy with where I live—trees, grass, acres of beauty. Focus on that fullness. Feel it. Breathe it in. Lowering Barriers and Opening to More Now, gently lower your energetic barriers. Allow more ways for money, opportunities, and systems of support to show up with ease. Give yourself permission to receive wealth without trying so hard. Breathe deeply into this expanded field of receiving. Closing and Invitation Thank you so much for joining me today. I'm so joyful that you're here. If you feel called to work with me, I currently have four openings for my 12-week immersion program. You can email me at happypublishing@gmail.com. Thank you for listening.
