Write, My daughter. - What shall I write?[1] That the Triumph of My Immaculate Heart is very near. My beloved children, All of you, who were entrusted to My Motherly care by My Jesus as He was dying on the Cross. Since that Hour I have carried each of you – across all time – in My Heart. Since that Hour I have loved you as My children. All of you. Each of you. As My Jesus' Heart was split open by the lance, thus opening the floodgates of Grace and Mercy for all the children of God, so My Heart was split open by the pain and the obedience of that Hour – the mystical sword that rent open My Heart, allowing the infinite Love of the Father, of My Son, of the Most Holy Spirit of God to widen It, making It capable of loving and receiving all His children in this new Refuge prepared for them – a Refuge that has been present and active since then. How much you are loved, children. How much. I wish to speak to you today – the anniversary of My first Apparition to My little ones at Fatima. Children, do not set My Words aside – not these nor any of the Words I have spoken to you throughout the centuries – Words that have come forth from My Immaculate Heart – from the Heart of your Mother – to help you, to guide you, to correct you, to warn you. If I speak, I do not do so of My own accord – I speak the Father's Will for you. I speak My Son's Love for you. I speak the Divine Light shed upon you by the Most Holy Spirit of God. If you turn a deaf ear to My Voice, you are turning a deaf ear to the Voice of the Most Holy Trinity Who never ceases to speak, to communicate with His children; Who – as the Everlasting Font of Life and Love – ceaselessly pours out His Mercy in myriads and myriads of ways, continually drawing your hearts back to His Own. By My example and by My prayers for you –My ever-present intercession on your behalf before the Throne of God – I teach you how to be truly attentive to the action of the Most Holy Trinity, that you might cooperate with this Divine Action in every moment of your lives. Blessed are they who, setting aside their own criteria, allow Me to form them according to the Divine Will and the work for which each soul was created. Come to your Mother, and allow Me to remove all the cobwebs of so many useless reasonings, of so many harmful and prideful thoughts, of so many lies that the enemy has woven around you. How can you see clearly, if your eyes are still covered by the scales of pride and arrogance? Come to Me, little children, that I might remove these stubborn scales with My tears, and cleanse your eyesight in order to see the true Face of My Jesus – the true Face of the Father. And that you might recognize the Signs We are giving you for these times – that you might see and recognize the unfolding of the Father's perfect Plan, and humbly receive the Grace you need in order to take your place in My Army for the accomplishment of this Plan. Children, this is the Hour that unites all other Hours – all other Ages. Each preceding Hour with its Grace, its purpose, its fulfillment; each preparing the coming of the next Hour. Each Hour acting in the present moment of the Father's Plan, which stretches from the beginning to the end of time, and carries all souls and all events to the fulfillment of this Plan for His Great Glory and the salvation of all of His children. My beloved children, contemplate with Me the beauty of this Plan of the Father's Heart. Contemplate with Me its vastness, its greatness, its Wisdom. Its Justice and Mercy. My children, open your eyes, but above all open your hearts through true docility, humility and trust, that the Light of the Most Holy Spirit of God might enlighten you, and, being able to see, you might be able to cooperate in His Work. This is what I ask of you during these days of the Cenacle – of this great New Cenacle – in which I join you to My Heart and to the prayers of all of your brothers and sisters, who throughout the centuries have asked for His Coming, who have prepared by their Faith and prayers and offerings your cooperation with His Grace, and who bring you encouragement in this darkest of Hours. I join you to My Heart, children, and I ask that – entering the safe refuge of My Heart, by means of your consecration, your entrustment to Me – you make an act of humility, Faith, and trust, that I might show you the Truth – that I may place it in the center of your being, like the Jewel of incalculable value, the Anchor you need in these times full of confusion and lies of the enemy, but full to overflowing with the Mystery of the Divine Action unfolding before you. My children, the Father's Plan is active everywhere and at all times, bringing about the eternal good for all of His children. Who can limit His Action? Who can say, “God would never do that”? Who – from such a limited, darkened, fallible, minuscule mind – can say to Him Who Is, to the One Who created all that is, to the One Who knows and sees every movement of every heart – who dare say to Him, “You cannot do this”? My children, My children – silence. Silence before the Mystery of God. The loving and trusting silence that is the filial act of adoration to the Father – recognizing that He is your God. And you are His creature, His child, willed into existence by Him. Silence before His Perfect Will – that is the perfect act of obedience – that does not question, does not doubt. “God knows why.” The thrice-holy Silence that humbles the soul, that beautifies it and makes it capable of receiving the Divine Light. The Silence, My children, that is born of true, living, simple FAITH. My beloved children, consider all the times that I have been sent to you to warn you and to bring you the Light of God to see the reality surrounding you as God sees it. HOW MANY TIMES, CHILDREN. AND HOW LITTLE I HAVE BEEN HEEDED – IGNORED, AND EVEN MOCKED BY THE ARROGANCE OF SO MANY OF MY BLINDED CHILDREN, THUS BLOCKING TORRENTS OF GRACE THAT WOULD HAVE DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN TO HELP MY CHILDREN. Actions have consequences, My children. And the setting aside, the despising of Our Gifts, has tremendous consequences not only for the souls who reject them, but for the whole world. Have you not yet understood that each time a soul rejects Our Grace, it affects all of Our children? And each time one soul responds to Our Grace, obeys the Will of the Father, We can pour forth rivers of Grace upon allof Our children? Do you see how important then, is your receiving or not receiving Our Gifts, Our Grace? My beloved Army, do you begin to understand now what it is that I need from you in order to lead you into battle? [gentle smile] Do you understand how it is you fight? How it is you help Me reconquer the hearts of your brothers and sisters? IT IS THROUGH FAITH – LIVING CHILD-LIKE FAITH – AND THROUGH YOUR ABANDONMENT TO THE FATHER'S PERFECT WILL. And do you begin to understand too then, what the greatest obstacle is to Our Plan? The horrendous LACK OF FAITH that produces contempt for Our Things, Our Words, Our Actions, and that is born out of the seed of pride planted by the enemy and fed by arrogance and fear. And how this seed of pride [has] fallen into so many of the souls of My Priests and Consecrated children, and found fertile soil, turning these souls into unrecognizable brambles of thorns and bitter fruit, useless – completely useless – for Our Plan.[2] Do you understand now, why then, the Fire that will come down from Heaven is needed to consume all these brambles and free My children from the corruption of pride? [Sigh] My children, this is why I ask you to come to Me, to enter the refuge of My Heart, to humble your heart and your mind before the Divine Mysteries – and to let Me cleanse your eyes and hearts, that you may be able to receive the fullness of the Light of the Most Holy Spirit of God, and you might see as He does, and, being able to see, you might cooperate with His Plan. My children, I have said to you that His Plan stretches from [the] beginning to [the] end of time, from one end of the earth to the other. Consider, then, that all Our Works cannot be contained or limited by any human consideration or reasoning. My children, how much it grieves Me when you attempt to limit Our Works. How many unnecessary obstacles you place with such reasonings in the paths of My little ones who believe with child-like Faith that Our God can do as He pleases, when He pleases, what He pleases – HE IS GOD. HOW MUCH PAIN has been caused to My little Messengers, the “voices” entrusted with Our Voice, to carry Our Words to you. HOW MUCH THEY HAVE BEEN MADE TO SUFFER. BY THE INCREDULOUS AND PROUD, ESPECIALLY AMONG THOSE FROM WHOM THEY SHOULD RECEIVE THE GREATEST HELP – PRIESTS AND CONSECRATED SOULS. I DO NOT FORGET THEIR PAIN. Nor the humiliations they were subjected to – their Glory now. My Melanie and Maximin; My Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco; My Bernadette; My Conchita, Mari Cruz, Mari Loli, and My other Jacinta [smile].[3] My beloved sons and daughters in Medjugorje, who still receive Me and bear witness to the Mission entrusted to them. And My beloved children – who gave their lives in bloody deaths out of love for Me and My Jesus in Kibeho.[4] And how many more, whose names are engraved in My Heart for their fidelity and their obedience and their endurance. HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM. And how it pains Me to see them reviled. Do you not see that it is MY VOICE that speaks to them, across the ages? And that this VOICE contains the VOICE of the Most Blessed Trinity, and that this VOICE is LOVE and MERCY? And that if you were attentive to It, you would perceive the DIVINE MYSTERY OF GOD at work in that moment, in that place, for you, for the accomplishment of the Father's Will at that moment. Every Divine Action has eternal effects – it can never be limited to one time – its effects are felt, they continue to produce fruits of everlasting life. But each of these Divine Actions is given at a precise time, for a precise reason, My children, and should be received by you as such – as helps sent to you at that moment, for that moment. My children, if the Father sends His Gift, His Action, will He not also send His Light that you might know that it is He Who is acting? If you are united to Him by Grace, by your Faith and humility, if you know His Voice, His Heart, shall you not recognize His Voice and His Action? And, recognizing the Father, shall you not also be given light to recognize the deceits of the Ancient Serpent, the eternal Ape, who in his pride mocks all the works of God? Come to Me, My little ones, if you wish to know the Father's Heart, if you wish to recognize His Voice, whether He speaks in silence, in action, or through His Messengers. In My Heart you find the Heart of My Jesus, Who is One with the Father. The Most Blessed Trinity has made My Heart your Refuge, a safe haven in which you can meet, and know, and love the Father, the Son, and Their Most Holy Spirit. My little ones, the Father's Plan is at work. Do not fear, do not despair. My Army is being gathered. I Am uniting you day by day, continuing to form you, to show you what it is that We need of you, how you cooperate in Our Reconquest. At each of My visits I have asked for what was needed as a response from My children and from My Church at that time– to allow the Father's Plan to be fulfilled at that time, to prevent unnecessary suffering. What I ask of you now – what is needed of you now – is your FAITH, TRUST, ABANDONMENT and HUMILITY – the true Silence of the attentive heart, ready to receive the order of his Captain in order to fight in the Great Reconquest. HOW CAN YOU ACT AND FIGHT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO DO – AND HOW CAN YOU KNOW WHAT IS BEING ASKED, WHAT THE ORDER IS, IF YOU ARE NOT ATTENTIVE TO YOUR CAPTAIN'S VOICE? AND HOW CAN YOU HEAR YOUR CAPTAIN'S VOICE IF YOU DO NOT SILENCE YOUR THOUGHTS – YOUR OWN VOICE – YOUR CRITERIA, YOUR WILL? AND HOW CAN YOU SILENCE YOUR MIND, WILL, AND HEART IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE? My children, WHAT I ASK OF YOU IS YOUR FAITH. YOUR HUMILITY. YOUR OBEDIENCE. YOUR TRUST. Come, children, let us bow down together before the Father of Mercies, before HE WHO IS, and, with Me, offer Him your love, your adoration; and together with Me say, “Father, may Your Will be accomplished in me and in all of Your creatures. Here I am, Lord, to do Your Will, to love You and serve You for all eternity.” My little children, I bless you with My Motherly Blessing. I gather you to My Heart in these days of the great Cenacle – the time when I gather all of My children, all of the Church into My Heart, into this holy Refuge prepared for you – as the Hour fast approaches when the Divine Light will pour down, will thunder down upon all that is to reveal once again the TRUTH. Do not be afraid, remain in Me. Remain in My Son, under the shelter of His Blood, behind the Shield of His Cross. My beloved ones…[smile]…I love you. I bless you, and I bless your families. Entrust them to Me and do not be afraid.   Amen. He is coming. To Him be given all Glory and Adoration and Thanksgiving and Praise for all ages. To the ONE WHO IS, WHO WAS, AND WHO IS TO COME, TO THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, TO THE SON ALL-HOLY, TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOST HOLY – HE WHO GIVES BREATH TO ALL THAT IS – TO HIM MAY ALL HEARTS ADORE, AND LOVE, AND OBEY. AMEN. Your Heavenly Mother, Who leads you by the hand, Mary Most Holy, Queen of all the Angels, Queen of the Apostles and Mother of the Church, Who loves you and protects you. ---------- [1] On some occasions – such as in this Message – when I am given the order, “Write, My daughter,” my soul immediately perceives the serious and solemn tone with which it is given and thus it responds without thinking, “What shall I write?” – words that seem to me to express the attitude of the soul of being particularly attentive to what is going to be said, as if this act of special attention and obedience were needed from me before the dictation can begin. And I perceive that what They say right after – usually a short phrase – is of great solemnity and importance. They have a different weight than Their other words. [2] I understood that, though it is especially harmful when the souls of Priests and religious fall into pride, that this spirit of pride has spread into many, many souls, destroying simple Faith in them, allowing the spirit of godlessness to spread widely and deeply. “And will not God vindicate His elect, who cry to Him day and night? Will He delay long over them? I tell you, He will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will He find faith on earth?” (Luke 18:7-8) [3] Our Lady is confirming Her Apparitions – and those who received them – at LaSalette (1846), Fatima (1917), Lourdes (1858), Garabandal (1961-1965), Medjugorje (1981-present), Kibeho (1981-1989). I had a sense that even though She mentions these specifically, She is also including all Her other “minor” Apparitions throughout the world in recent times – and there are many. [4] As I was transcribing these paragraphs I thought of how varied the witness required of all these “messengers” is – some were asked to offer their lives while very young, enduring much physical pain and illness; others were asked to enter religious life; others have been asked to wait, and wait, and wait for the fulfillment of the events announced to them, while living ‘normal' lives in the world; others must endure the complete and constant invasion of their privacy; others are asked to offer their lives in bloody martyrdom; others to offer the white martyrdom of life-long humiliations, misunderstandings, loneliness. All have had to endure the tremendous trials of Faith. It seems to me that there is a great lesson in this variety of witness – even though the experience itself of receiving an Apparition is very similar, what is then required of each person can be very different.

This week, Grant and Ash get spooky, discussing their greatest fears and phobias growing up. Bloody Mary was the name on everyone's lips in school. She terrorized their entire New Jersey hometown, traumatizing Ashley in a Melting Pot restroom and completely dictating Grant's bowel movements as a child. Grant also admits that he is a psychic medium and tells the tale of when he knew his dog was in life-threatening peril. And stay tuned until the end for the craziest Announcement for the Good of the Group we've heard thus far. Let's just say… we'll never look at a tombstone the same.

PUTIN ALONE DICTATED THE WAR:  8/8: The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History. by  Serhii Plokhy  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Russo-Ukrainian-War-Return-History/dp/1324051191 Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war―and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War, offers a definitive account of this conflict, its origins, course, and the already apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault―on February 27, 2014, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament―the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia's ideas and cultures, as well as domestic and international politics, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable, it was predictable. Ukraine, Plokhy argues, has remained central to Russia's idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe. 1932 MOSCOW STALIN

The North Carolina Tar Heels 2023-24 season came to a screeching half on Thursday night as Hubert Davis' squad fell 89-87 to Nate Oats and Alabama. It was a defeat that feels crushing because this team loved each other and played for each other so well. Armando Bacot and Cormac Ryan and Paxson Wojcik's careers aren't supposed to end that way. Unfortunately one of RJ Davis' worst shooting nights of the season (And his only game without a three) came at a rather undesirable time. The meeting with Caleb Love and Arizona in the Elite 8 was clearly not meant to be as both parties fall short.  Locked On Tar Heels Discord: https://discord.gg/DGhGSEPP2d Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  

The Iliad is the world's greatest epic poem—heroic battle and divine fate set against the Trojan War. Its beauty and profound bleakness are intensely moving, but great questions remain: Where, how, and when was it composed and why does it endure? To explore these questions is today's guest, Robin Lane Fox, a scholar and teacher of Homer for over 40 years. He's the author of “Homer and His Iliad” and he addresses these questions, drawing on a lifelong love and engagement with the poem. He argues that the poem is the result of the genius and single oral poet, Homer, and that the poem may have been performed even earlier than previously supposed a place, a date, and a method for its composition—subjects of ongoing controversy. Lane Fox considers hallmarks of the poem; its values, implicit and explicit; its characters; its women; its gods; and even its horses.

In this episode, we explore an unrefined, yet accurate, approach to determining your risk tolerance.  Beyond traditional risk tolerance questionnaires that often fluctuate with market conditions, we introduce two key criteria: Freak Out Number - Discover how to assess your decline tolerance in dollar terms, examining at what point you'd feel the need to make significant changes to your portfolio. We address the impact of market fluctuations on risk perception and why it's essential to cut the 'freak out number' in half during turbulent times.  Required Growth as Dictated by Your Financial Plan - Understand the importance of aligning your portfolio's risk level with your retirement income plan. Find out why a well-funded plan might allow for a lower-risk approach, while a distribution-heavy plan may require a different strategy.

When you assume you make an ass out of you and me - that proverb might sound a bit silly but it highlights a very important point. The point about how problematic it is to act based on assumptions. In this talk we will dig into that, explore some big dangers of that problematic tendency, as well as ways in which you can avoid the tendency of acting negatively as a result of your assumptions. If you want to experience life better and experience less problems in life, this will be a very useful talk for you to listen to.

Roger Severino is Vice President of Domestic Policy at The Heritage Foundation. During the Trump Administration he led the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and previously worked as an attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.

Have you ever felt paralyzed at the thought of a career transition? There's a certain fear that clings to us at the prospect of change, a grip that's often hard to break free from. It's understandable. After all, who doesn't fear the unknown, the uncertainty that change brings with it? But here's the thing - change, especially when it comes to careers, doesn't have to be intimidating. Let's walk through this together. In the first half of our discussion, we'll confront these fears head-on. There's the fear of change, the lingering shadow of past experiences, as well as a certain resistance to new opportunities. These can all pile up into a mountain of overwhelming feelings. But by reflecting, meditating, and coming to terms with these emotions, we can find ourselves stepping over the hurdle rather than being buried under it.  In our second segment, we'll delve into common questions that often plague us during transitions. How do we begin? Who do we reach out to for guidance? As we explore these questions, we'll uncover that a transition can be a rewarding, fulfilling experience - a chance to create value on your own terms.  We'll dive deeper into these concepts: 10 Common Questions about Transitions Paralyzed by the fear of change Overwhelmed by the uncertainty that transitions bring Limited by past experiences and comfort zones Dictated by resistance to new opportunities Consumed by a sense of loss during transitions Strained by unresolved grief Deprived of growth because of fear Controlled by the inability to let go of the old Overshadowed by feelings of loneliness in times of change Crippled by an unwillingness to step out of your comfort zone Now, for some action steps: To get started on Your Encore journey, sign up for my resource: 5 Key Questions to Ask Yourself if You Want a Successful Mindset My Resources: A quick guide to help you get started on your Encore Journey encorecareermindset.com My Website https://www.lynnfriesth.com/ LinkedIn Facebook Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

In today's episode, NASA engineer Shehnaz Soni shares how the "Quantum Aspect" has allowed her to see through great suffering in her life to see a greater purpose in her life.Though our circumstances appear on the surface to be crushing and insurmountable, with a tilt in perspective, we can look back on them and see how they were instrumental in tempering our spirit and leading to greater victories than we would experience if "everything went our way."In this interview with Shehnaz, you'll discover:-How painful memories from childhood have led to Shehnaz' current path of bringing a "Star Trek world" to reality...02:05-The journey from a forced marriage to success in academics and in career...06:30-Why Jennifer believes our souls choose our circumstances...10:50-The tools available for us to break through crushing circumstances...12:30-Hardships beget resilience, which begets endurance...16:00-What we think we want often comes in the form of hardship...21:10-Shehnaz' greatest material failure, and how it was a bridge to ultimate success...23:20-The test of our will and spirit is ongoing...30:50-And much more...Resources mentioned:Quantum Being: A Self-Sustaining and Magnificent Human Craft by Shehnaz Sonishehnazsoni.comAbout the guest:Shehnaz was born and raised as an orthodox Muslim in Karachi, Pakistan. From day one, she was asked to fit inside a box that didn't align with her true calling. She grew up feeling trapped within a patriarchal, cultural mindset where women are groomed, expected to be wives and homemakers, and not encouraged to go to school. Being a bright and headstrong young girl, she pushed over one barrier after another in her determination to complete her high school education and go on to college. Shehnaz graduated high school as the valedictorian and continued engineering at the University of Karachi despite persistent cultural and familial abuse and degradation as a female.Her aspirations to achieve a college degree and financial independence were soon obliterated when obligatory arranged marriage disrupted her education. Dictated by cultural tradition, she was married off to a stranger after a one-hour interview, and quickly after the wedding, she immigrated to the United States with her new groom, leaving everything behind.Upon her arrival in the United States, she faced a new set of challenges, including financial, cultural, and language barriers—as she tried to acculturate to her new life. In facing the choice to either do what was expected and approved or to expand her inner self, Shehnaz reawakened her trailblazer instincts and chose the path of transformation.Committed to pursuing her dream life, she attended a community college to learn English. She already spoke three languages – Urdu, Gujarati (goo-jar-a-tee), and Hindi but had long-dreamed of speaking English fluently. Her decision not to take “no” for an answer rewarded her with a degree in electrical engineering at the University of California, Irvine. This achievement launched her into a life of financial independence, space exploration, and an ongoing personal expedition of change at both the physical and quantum level.Shehnaz has worked as a rocket scientist for both Boeing and NASA. Her work on the massive rocket called the Space Launch System (SLS) will be used in one of the earlier missions to facilitate living on the Moon. Additionally, she assisted in building and implementing the Falcon 9 rocket which provided...

The options that the Pats have and why what the Houston Texans do at number two will set things in motion. Also, author Jeff Benedict joins the show to talk about his latest New York Times' best-seller about LeBron James.

The NFL Draft is never chalk so expecting the 2023 event to follow an expected course is unlikely. With that in mind, Joe Marino and Kyle Crabbs spend today's conversation considering some of the chaos scenarios that could ensue. Dictated heavily by five potential first round quarterbacks in Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Will Levis, Anthony Richardson and Hendon Hooker, we could see a variety of outcomes on draft day and the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders, Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots could be in the center of it.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Image the entrance to your mind as big iron gates. Guarding every thought that comes by, trying to stomp in to your spiritually sacred space. In a world that is lilterally become the Devil's playground, this was not achieved by accident. Evil is wise, and they use earthly pleasures as the bait. For as we have free will, they tempt us. Evil has agency in the mental realm, the ether, thus, evil has jurisdiction to play with your thoughts. Hence why the spiritual battle is in the MIND. All tactics of evil are imitations and infiltrations, designed to obfuscate and deceive you of the truth, so that you be captured in the web of eternal suffering. Your task is to learn to recognize it, remove it from your life, acknowledge truth and seek to serve the Good. Else forever be enslaved to evil. The choice is yours and there isn't a thousand lifetime chances to get it right. Choose wisely.

An incredible career trajectory that ranged from a city planner to mayor of San Antonio and now President of Rust College, Dr. Ivy Taylor has a unique perspective on the impact that a college experience and the environments from which the students begin, can change life trajectories. "[I] have an interest in understanding how people interact with the built environment around them and how it can either inspire or not inspire them. That definitely comes in handy as president of a college because you're creating kind of like this special place where people have some of the most memorable and formative times of their lives." Join this conversation with Dr. Taylor to take a deeper look at how we can help students gain outcomes that are not dictated based on where they started.Dr. Taylor holds degrees from Yale University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Doctorate of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. Find out more on our website: AmericanDream.fmFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn @degreeinsurance.

It is SO important to work together to get on the same page in a relationship, and that includes financially. Healthy financial wellness in a relationship consists of open communication, creating financial goals, knowing your WHY, working on your money mindset's individually and together, understanding investing for your family's future.  Most relationships fail and moist fights happen because of money, directly or indirectly. Therefore, a huge part of a successful relationship is working on your financial wellness.  Sandy comes from an upbringing of financial abundance and she has a very strong abundant mindset around money. I come from an upbringing of more financial scarcity and I have had to work through a scarcity money mindset, and its a work in progress - I'm still working on it at 33 after 10+ years of working on it! My pain point from scarcity in childhood led me to go get my business degree and a Master's degree in Finance, which led me into the finance world to go make a lot of money. I was able to make a good amount of money, but I still didn't understand building wealth and financial literacy. I had to go seek that and learn that on my own. And through years of working on it, I was able to launch our own investment firm, buy 5 properties, 22 doors, make 4 venture capital investments, understand and invest in the stock market, and crypto and understand the risks and rewards. Sandy doesn't;t have that experience, so that is her opportunity to work on, not just making money, but how to be a good steward of money, how to invest it, how to grow it, how to compound and multiply it. It will be a life long work in progress but we realize we need to keep working on our open lines of communication around money, we individually need to work on our financial wellness, and we need to come together to have a family financial meeting at least once a month if not twice to get on the same page! If this episode was helpful, share it with your partner and setup a financial meeting!

Summary: Inflation numbers are coming out at 30 year highs, and CPI isn't going down any time soon. What indicators should we analyze in order to explain the current economic circumstances? I sit down and chat with Eddie Yoon, who attributes some of the trends in labor force participation and unemployment to an unusual number of baby boomers working for decades and now retiring. We are trying to solve for something systemic by implementing short term solutions, and businesses ultimately have to shift gears to cater to one two two person households rather than the nuclear family. Tune in for more insightful remarks from Eddie. Highlights: -Inflation numbers are coming out at 30 year record highs -Unemployment numbers look good, but these are lagging indicators -CPI is not going down; is this good or bad? This is also a lagging indicator -We are causing inflation in order to fight inflation with interest rates -Consumer sentiment is trending up, which is a good sign -The number of travelers is still trending upwards -Labor force participation is low in comparison to the last 40 years -If unemployment was higher, the Fed may back off -There may be something simpler going on that explains what is going on -Baby boomers retiring may play into labor participation -It's not that things are problematic in the near term, it's that we had an unusually large work force for about three decades, and these people are now retiring and leaving -We're solving for something systemic with short term solutions, which is going to cause more damage -The businesses that are going to do better will be less volume dependent and more premium oriented -Companies designed around the nuclear family will struggle, while businesses designed for one to two person households will be more successful Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Eddie Would Grow

Reading this book was an amazing revelation. Vivid descriptions of beautiful celestial cities, teaching centers, healing wards, etc., which exist on our nearby planet Venus according to the author I found this book resonates with the law of one and our recent reading of the book Life In The Unseen World By Anthony Borgia This is a book that changes lives. Dictated by the Ascended Masters of the Seven Shamballas, The Voice of Venus sweeps the reader off to the higher worlds where Luminaries of Earth's past continue their efforts to enlighten humanity after so-called "death." In the higher dimensions of Venus, that means the Lighted Ones stay busy:    Rehabilitating suicide victims prior to their reincarnation    Conducting classes for truth seekers who visit in dream states while their bodies sleep on Earth    Preparing souls for ascension into more advanced worlds    Maintaining their sparkling Venusian bodies, homes, and temples by using their Minds to shape the raw energy of the Infinite Creative Intelligence into useful form Clairvoyantly and clairaudiently received through Ernest L. Norman (1904‒1971), The Voice of Venus, Book One of the five-volume Pulse of Creation series, was first published in 1956 and remains a popular favorite among his seventeen published works. The complete series features dissertations from the Ascended Masters who introduce a "universal, articulate, interdimensional understanding of science"-a cosmic "theory of everything" that joins science and spirit into a useful guide for visionary leaders in the arts, science, healing, education, leadership, devotion, and philosophy. Lightworkers, starseeds, spirit nerds, and humanitarians may find The Voice of Venus takes them back to places they remember, in the company of the Lighted Ones who are their teachers and guides. Generations of readers have exclaimed over the spiritual awakening the book inspired. Many claim the book never loses its luster, even after countless re-visits: "The Voice of Venus is like a celestial passport to the Inner Worlds of Light. I love to visit the crystalline cities with their classrooms, healing temples, and beautiful gardens, while taking in the higher energies radiated from the Venusians. After reading, I always feel more love, peace, and joy!"-Jennifer Stovall "The information that is contained  has been my source of inspiration for the past thirty-five plus years." -Michael L., Inventor "I always wondered about life after death and what the experience of dying would be like. This book takes you through the process in a way that is unique and exquisitely explained. The scientific and spiritual blend of knowledge is beautiful beyond anything I have ever read-or experienced!"-Douglas Taylor, Artist, Author of Soulic Journeys "A few minutes with this book always lifts my mood and brings quick answers to trouble or confusion I might be experiencing that day."-Lianne Downey, Author of Speed Your Evolution "... other authors' and teachers' works continually affirm the truth that [Ernest Norman] so humbly brought to our world."-Liam Lukasik, Music by Brian Larson And Mettaverse

Silver price will still be dictated by investment demand The majority of the world's silver supply is consumed by industry, leaving the remainder available for investment purposes. Which is what has driven the silver price during past peaks, and is also what David Stein of Kuya Silver believes will be the main price driver going forward. In this interview David talked about the sentiment in the silver market at this year's Silver Symposium, and also how despite the recent price decline, he's finding a lot of new participants entering the silver market. Which isn't entirely surprising given the chaotic conditions in today's financial worlds, and that could well be a driving factor in the future path of the precious metals pricing.

16 April 1972 Sirs, It has come to my attention that some of the girls in the office have been complaining about unwanted advances from the butchers. While I do sympathise with them somewhat (after all those butchers have awfully big, hairy hands), it's just a bit of fun on their part and I'd hate to take away what little joy they have in their miserable lives. If I had to strangle 400 cattle a day I know I would find solace in chasing the girl from accounts down a dark hallway with my big, bloodied hands. To feel them, like two hairy hams, grabbing at my breasts like a hungry bird. I'd say no but really I'd mean YES. Anway, some chap at the freemasons put me in touch with a firm who specialise in these new ‘training records'. Do me a favour and play it to the lads on the shop floor. Dictated and signed in absence.

TW: In this episode, I broadly touch on sensitive subjects so I wanted to give you a heads up. So many of you have requested a dating episode speaking specifically to my dating life and experience and as always I wanted to be honest with you. In this episode, I share how I unknowingly was guided by trauma when it came to dating and how now literally decades later I can see how that directed the relationships I was in before meeting Blake who was the complete opposite THANK GOD! I honestly was so unsure with this episode but eventually ended up deciding to post it. I hope that it encourages you in any way and if you feel it is meant for someone please feel free to share. Also, I have included several hotlines that I hope help if needed. As always; I love you, Happy Humans.

Life has a way of dictating how we are supposed to live but it's time out for the repetitive life cycles that our ancestors and parents were taught to live by. It's time to question ourselves and what we are willing to do to change that.

Canelo Alvarez the #1 Cashcow and pound 4 pound boxer in the world should fake his retirement to see if the other champions in the middleweight division and in the light heavyweight division would unify the titles instead of waiting for The GOLDEN TICKET. Canelo who recently became Super Middleweight undisputed which add to his prestige legacy, could retire today and on his way to a first ballot hall of fame. While Canelo is enhancing his legacy while staying very busy and active doing so (4 fights in 11 months). Seems like other champions such as Jermall Charlo, Demetrius Andrade, GGG, Artur Beterbiev, Dimitry Bivol, David Benavidez etc legacy has been on a stand still. Dictated by the chance of Canelo calling out their name as his next opponent. Instead of carving their great potential legacy without Canelo. They or their business handlers or their potential unify opponent rather abandon that for a Canelo fight that may never happen. What if Canelo Retires? Would they have no choice but to fight each other?

Key Points: The bible is NOT a science book or history book. It is a LIBRARY, calling us to an eternal RELATIONSHIP with God. The bible is not DICTATED by God. God INSPIRED the human authors, but they used their own words, styles, emphasis. The bible is ALL TRUE, for the sake of our salvation. Not necessarily always LITERALLY true. (See 1st Session of Old Testament for more detail on “Truth in the bible.) The books of the bible were chosen among many others and ratified by the CATHOLIC church, guided by the Holy Spirit, in the late 300's. ALL Christians agree on the Catholic choice of the 27 New Testament books. Martin Luther error on choice of books- no “keys”-1200 years late. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/catholicbiblestudy/support

This is the eighth bonus episode. Was Bach dictating this? Blind? On his deathbed?  Printed as the original conclusion to The Art of Fugue, "Wenn wir im höchsten Nöten sein" was not meant to be part of the work, but was meant to be compensation for the missing fugue. Even with this piece, there are myths surrounding it. Let's debunk. -- Follow me on instagram: @wtfbach   Thank you, THANK YOU, for listening. -evan   Support us: https://www.patreon.com/wtfbach https://www.paypal.me/wtfbach https://venmo.com/wtfbach https://cash.app/$wtfbach

Episode 65 In this episode, I speak with Campbell Will a Physiotherapist, Level 2 Wim Hof Method Instructor and Breathwork Facilitator from Australia. His passion is to teach people how to speak the language of the nervous system: the breath. His teachings connect people with their breath, mind and body through guided movement, specific breathing practices, and guided meditation. He teaches how optimal breathing can be used to affect our nervous system, psychology and emotional state and how breath is a tool for optimal health and well-being, stress and anxiety relief, and self-exploration. Campbell teaches breathwork as a dynamic mind-body technique that gives access to the deeper layers of our nervous system and physiology. Using specific breathing techniques we are able to bypass the mind, quiet the mental blocks and achieve a state of optimal physical, emotional and spiritual energy.
