Tenth Ward Spirits (Frederick, MD) WF0014 To say Maryland and Frederick in particular have been an eye-opener is an understatement. There is quite a vibrant distilling scene in the state and it's more than just a revival of the state's historic rye whiskey heritage. Today, I walk a few steps over from our last distillery experience to visit Monica "The Boss Lady" Pearce, as she talks about her journey from bartending to environmental science and then into the world of distillery ownership. We'll learn about her love for whiskey, her travels, and her secrets to making a unique distillery experience at Tenth Ward Distilling. And if I've piqued your interest in visiting Maryland's distilleries, make sure to check out the 21 Maryland whiskey distillery profiles at whiskey-lore.com/maryland

In the 100th episode of the show, Sunil Dasgupta talks with narrowly-elected Frederick County Executive Jessica Fitzwater about her campaign, her coalition, and how she intends to govern, offering a case study in managing political polarization.

For more information, visit: https://icypaa.org/A NEW STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESSHe has been granted a gift which amounts to a new state of consciousness and being.TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 107Many of us in AA. puzzle over what is a spiritual awakening. I tended to look for a miracle, something dramatic and earth-shattering. But what usually happens is that a sense of well-being, a feeling of peace, transforms us into a new level of awareness. That's what happened to me. My insanity and inner turmoil disappeared and I entered into a new dimension of hope, love and peace. I think the degree to which I continue to experience this new dimension is in direct proportion to the sincerity, depth and devotion with which I practice the Twelve Steps of A.A.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Support the showNeed the Daily Reflection Book?

Darren B. shares on today's daily reflection entitled "Only Two Sins".ONLY TWO SINS. . . there are only two sins; the first is to interfere with the growth of another human being, and the second is to interfere with one's own growth.ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 542Happiness is such an elusive state. How often do my "prayers" for others involve "hidden" prayers for my own agenda? How often is my search for happiness a boulder in the path of growth for another, or even myself? Seeking growth through humility and acceptance brings things that appear to be anything but good, wholesome and vital. Yet in looking back, I can see that pain, struggles and setbacks have all contributed eventually to serenity through growth in the program. I ask my Higher Power to help me not cause another's lack of growth today—or my own.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Support the showNeed the Daily Reflection Book?

Join us as Kevin Burnes from Frederick, MD, share his experience, strength, and hope around today's Daily Reflection, A Classic Prayer. A CLASSIC PRAYERLord, make me a channel for thy peace—that where there is hatred, I may bring love—that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness—that where there is discord, I may bring harmony—that where there is error, I may bring truth—that where there is doubt, I may bring faith—that where there is despair, I may bring hope—that where there are shadows, I may bring light—that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted—to understand, than to be understood—to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen.— TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 99No matter where I am in my spiritual growth, the St. Francis prayer helps me improve my conscious contact with the God of my understanding. I think that one of the great advantages of my faith in God is that I do not understand Him, or Her, or It. It may be that my relationship with my Higher Power is so fruitful that I do not have to understand. All that I am certain of is that if I work the Eleventh Step regularly, as best I can, I will continue to improve my conscious contact, I will know His will for me, and I will have the power to carry it out.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Support the showNeed the Daily Reflection Book?

Join us as Clarence Fairfax, from Frederick, MD, shares his experience, strength, and hope around today's Daily Reflection, Intuition and Inspiration. INTUITION AND INSPIRATION. . . we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle.— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 86I invest my time in what I truly love. Step Eleven is a discipline that allows me and my Higher Power to be together, reminding me that, with God's help, intuition and inspiration are possible. Practice of the Step brings on selflove. In a consistent attempt to improve my conscious contact with a Higher Power, I am subtly reminded of my unhealthy past, with its patterns of grandiose thinking and false feelings of omnipotence. When I ask for the power to carry out God's will for me, I am made aware of my powerlessness. Humility and a healthy selflove are compatible, a direct result of working Step Eleven.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Support the showNeed the Daily Reflection Book?

Join us in wishing Dawn B., from Frederick, MD, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY as we listen to her share her experience, strength, and hope around today's Daily Reflection entitled Focusing and Listening.   Happy Birthday, Dawn!!  FOCUSING AND LISTENINGThere is a direct linkage among self-examination, meditation, and prayer. Taken separately, these practices can bring much relief and benefit.— TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 98If I do my self-examination first, then surely, I'll have enough humility to pray and meditate—because I'll see and feel my need for them. Some wish to begin and end with prayer, leaving the self-examination and meditation to take place in between, whereas others start with meditation, listening for advice from God about their still hidden or unacknowledged defects. Still others engage in written and verbal work on their defects, ending with a prayer of praise and thanksgiving. These three—self-examination, meditation and prayer—form a circle, without a beginning or an end. No matter where, or how, I start, I eventually arrive at my destination: a better life.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Healthy Lifestyle Solutions with Maya AcostaAre you ready to upgrade your health to a new level and do so by learning from experts...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showNeed the Daily Reflection Book?

Join us as Ursula M, from Frederick, MD, shares her experience, strength and hope around today's Daily Reflection, Unremitting Inventories. UNREMITTING INVENTORIESContinue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them. We discuss them with someone immediately and make amends quickly if we have harmed anyone. Then we resolutely turn our thoughts to someone we can help.— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84The immediate admission of wrong thoughts or actions is a tough task for most human beings, but for recovering alcoholics like me it is difficult because of my propensity toward ego, fear and pride. The freedom the A.A. program offers me becomes more abundant when, through unremitting inventories of myself, I admit, acknowledge and accept responsibility for my wrong-doing. It is possible then for me to grow into a deeper and better understanding of humility. My willingness to admit when the fault is mine facilitates the progression of my growth and helps me to become more understanding and helpful to others.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Becoming Outlaws: True Stories of Divine Encounters with Ken McMullenAs many as three-quarters of Americans believe in the paranormal.

Join us as Ashley B.,  from Frederick, MD.,  shares her experience, strength, and hope around today's Daily Reflection entitled "A Riddle that Works". A RIDDLE THAT WORKSIt may be possible to find explanations of spiritual experiences such as ours, but I have often tried to explain my own and have succeeded only in giving the story of it. I know the feeling it gave me and the results it has brought, but I realize I may never fully understand its deeper why and how.— AS BILL SEES IT, p. 313I had a profound spiritual experience during an open A.A. meeting, which led me to blurt out, "I'm an alcoholic!" I have not had a drink since that day. I can tell you the words I heard just prior to my admission, and how those words affected me, but as to why it happened, I do not know. I believe a power greater than myself chose me to recover, yet I do not know why. I try not to worry or wonder about what I do not yet know; instead, I trust that if I continue to work the Steps, practice the A.A. principles in my life, and share my story, I will be guided lovingly toward a deep and mature spirituality in which more will be revealed to me. For the time being, it is a gift for me to trust God, work the Steps and help others.

Before entering this program of Alcoholics Anonymous I was never able to give without demanding something in return. Little did I know that, once I began to give freely of myself, I would begin to receive, without ever expecting or demanding anything at all. What I receive today is the gift of "stability," as Bill did: stability in my A.A. program; within myself; but most of all, in my relationship with my Higher Power, whom I choose to call God.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Belt of TruthExploring topics crucial for men on their journey to becoming spiritual leaders.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

“Have you ever experienced walking into a space – and realizing that you have just been transported to someplace very special?” asks Brad Weesner. “This wonderful transformation is the very reason I love interior design.” Raised in Washington, D.C., the designer has always been surrounded by classicism, diplomacy, graciousness and the international climate that only the nation's capital can provide. “Washington is one of the most beautiful cities in the world”, he says.Clients appreciate the designer's prior management experience in luxury hotels, and in residential construction and real estate. “It is daunting to put something so personal as your home in the hands of someone else, but when there is a common goal of good design, this always works beautifully and our clients have seen that the journey was worth it.”The aspects that architecture can bring to a room, and the client's desire for functionality are always the fundamental starting point in my work. To then create a remarkable interior is my ultimate goal”. This focus is true for the firm's residential projects as well as hospitality and corporate projects. Recent work includes the historic theater - The Weinburg Center for the Performing Arts in Frederick MD, and the 60 year old landmark - Annie's Paramount Steak House in Washington D.C. The designer's residential projects include a custom 15,000 sq. ft. home and a contemporary and glamorous penthouse both located in Bethesda.The use of original artwork, wonderful lighting, calming colors are the hallmark of Weesner's design work. He has served on the board of the Frederick Arts Council and his projects have been published in “Spectacular Homes of Washington, D.C.” and "Shore Decor" by A. Rooney, The Washington Examiner, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and Spaces Magazine.He's passionate about Dogs , Horses (English Riding), Sailing (mostly sloops) , Entertaining (Cooking, Wine and guests at home), The Art of Conversation (He slips into big words sometimes) , Fine Cars (Coach building actually), Mentoring & Developing others (think AA Sponsorship) and more.Forshew Interior Design produces exquisite spaces for distinguished clients in residential environments.As one of the nation's top designers for nearly 14 years, Brad creates spaces that capture his client's personality by combining comfort, functionality, and elegance. His design nuances unite traditional luxury with contemporary edges making him one of the most sought-after designers.Brad has worked for several of the largest luxury homebuilders in the mid-Atlantic region. It was there that he honed his innate ability to work with architects, planners and builders throughout the construction process. As a result, Brad's extensive construction knowledge instills trust from both his clients and his contractors.Additionally, Brad's 20 years of experience within the luxury hospitality industry has earned him praise for his ability to utilize timeless design elements with memorable accents. He mixes durable furnishings with extraordinary textures. With an eye for accessibility and traffic flow, Brad brings a refined aesthetic that is cost-effective for the client.Today, Forshew Interior Design represents many of the top luxury brands in the US and works with better auction houses in New York and on the east coast of the U.S. We have relationships with art galleries focused on the curation of notable works of art to provide a deep and broad source of artwork to enhance your space, or to serve as the inspiration point.

For more information, visit: https://icypaa.org/A NEW STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESSHe has been granted a gift which amounts to a new state of consciousness and being.TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 107Many of us in AA. puzzle over what is a spiritual awakening. I tended to look for a miracle, something dramatic and earth-shattering. But what usually happens is that a sense of well-being, a feeling of peace, transforms us into a new level of awareness. That's what happened to me. My insanity and inner turmoil disappeared and I entered into a new dimension of hope, love and peace. I think the degree to which I continue to experience this new dimension is in direct proportion to the sincerity, depth and devotion with which I practice the Twelve Steps of A.A.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Need the Daily Reflection Book?Visit our web siteRead about Recovery on our BlogVisit our Facebook GroupFollow us on TwitterSupport the Podcast:- On Patreon: https://patreon.com/dailyreflection- On PayPal: https://paypal.me/dailyreflectionIf you're struggling with alcohol or addiction, or wondering how to stop drinking it's helpful to know that there's a solution that has worked for millions of people.

Darren B. shares on today's daily reflection entitled "Only Two Sins".ONLY TWO SINS. . . there are only two sins; the first is to interfere with the growth of another human being, and the second is to interfere with one's own growth.ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 542Happiness is such an elusive state. How often do my "prayers" for others involve "hidden" prayers for my own agenda? How often is my search for happiness a boulder in the path of growth for another, or even myself? Seeking growth through humility and acceptance brings things that appear to be anything but good, wholesome and vital. Yet in looking back, I can see that pain, struggles and setbacks have all contributed eventually to serenity through growth in the program. I ask my Higher Power to help me not cause another's lack of growth today—or my own.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Need the Daily Reflection Book?Visit our web siteRead about Recovery on our BlogVisit our Facebook GroupFollow us on TwitterSupport the Podcast:- On Patreon: https://patreon.com/dailyreflection- On PayPal: https://paypal.me/dailyreflectionIf you're struggling with alcohol or addiction, or wondering how to stop drinking it's helpful to know that there's a solution that has worked for millions of people.

Join us as Kevin Burnes from Frederick, MD, share his experience, strength, and hope around today's Daily Reflection, A Classic Prayer. A CLASSIC PRAYERLord, make me a channel for thy peace—that where there is hatred, I may bring love—that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness—that where there is discord, I may bring harmony—that where there is error, I may bring truth—that where there is doubt, I may bring faith—that where there is despair, I may bring hope—that where there are shadows, I may bring light—that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted—to understand, than to be understood—to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen.— TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 99No matter where I am in my spiritual growth, the St. Francis prayer helps me improve my conscious contact with the God of my understanding. I think that one of the great advantages of my faith in God is that I do not understand Him, or Her, or It. It may be that my relationship with my Higher Power is so fruitful that I do not have to understand. All that I am certain of is that if I work the Eleventh Step regularly, as best I can, I will continue to improve my conscious contact, I will know His will for me, and I will have the power to carry it out.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Need the Daily Reflection Book?Visit our web siteRead about Recovery on our BlogVisit our Facebook GroupFollow us on TwitterSupport the Podcast:- On Patreon: https://patreon.com/dailyreflection- On PayPal: https://paypal.me/dailyreflectionIf you're struggling with alcohol or addiction, or wondering how to stop drinking it's helpful to know that there's a solution that has worked for millions of people.

Join us as Clarence Fairfax, from Frederick, MD, shares his experience, strength, and hope around today's Daily Reflection, Intuition and Inspiration. INTUITION AND INSPIRATION. . . we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle.— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 86I invest my time in what I truly love. Step Eleven is a discipline that allows me and my Higher Power to be together, reminding me that, with God's help, intuition and inspiration are possible. Practice of the Step brings on selflove. In a consistent attempt to improve my conscious contact with a Higher Power, I am subtly reminded of my unhealthy past, with its patterns of grandiose thinking and false feelings of omnipotence. When I ask for the power to carry out God's will for me, I am made aware of my powerlessness. Humility and a healthy selflove are compatible, a direct result of working Step Eleven.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Need the Daily Reflection Book?Visit our web siteRead about Recovery on our BlogVisit our Facebook GroupFollow us on TwitterSupport the Podcast:- On Patreon: https://patreon.com/dailyreflection- On PayPal: https://paypal.me/dailyreflectionIf you're struggling with alcohol or addiction, or wondering how to stop drinking it's helpful to know that there's a solution that has worked for millions of people.

Taken separately, these practices can bring much relief and benefit.— TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 98If I do my self-examination first, then surely, I'll have enough humility to pray and meditate—because I'll see and feel my need for them. Some wish to begin and end with prayer, leaving the self-examination and meditation to take place in between, whereas others start with meditation, listening for advice from God about their still hidden or unacknowledged defects. Still others engage in written and verbal work on their defects, ending with a prayer of praise and thanksgiving. These three—self-examination, meditation and prayer—form a circle, without a beginning or an end. No matter where, or how, I start, I eventually arrive at my destination: a better life.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Need the Daily Reflection Book?Visit our web siteRead about Recovery on our BlogVisit our Facebook GroupFollow us on TwitterSupport the Podcast:- On Patreon: https://patreon.com/dailyreflection- On PayPal: https://paypal.me/dailyreflectionIf you're struggling with alcohol or addiction, or wondering how to stop drinking it's helpful to know that there's a solution that has worked for millions of people.

Join us as Ursula M, from Frederick, MD, shares her experience, strength and hope around today's Daily Reflection, Unremitting Inventories. UNREMITTING INVENTORIESContinue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them. We discuss them with someone immediately and make amends quickly if we have harmed anyone. Then we resolutely turn our thoughts to someone we can help.— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84The immediate admission of wrong thoughts or actions is a tough task for most human beings, but for recovering alcoholics like me it is difficult because of my propensity toward ego, fear and pride. The freedom the A.A. program offers me becomes more abundant when, through unremitting inventories of myself, I admit, acknowledge and accept responsibility for my wrong-doing. It is possible then for me to grow into a deeper and better understanding of humility. My willingness to admit when the fault is mine facilitates the progression of my growth and helps me to become more understanding and helpful to others.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Need the Daily Reflection Book?Visit our web siteRead about Recovery on our BlogVisit our Facebook GroupFollow us on TwitterSupport the Podcast:- On Patreon: https://patreon.com/dailyreflection- On PayPal: https://paypal.me/dailyreflectionIf you're struggling with alcohol or addiction, or wondering how to stop drinking it's helpful to know that there's a solution that has worked for millions of people.

Is it any wonder, even if I have been sober for some time, that I will act that same way when faced with what appears to be a monumental job, such as a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself? What I discover after I have arrived at the other side—when my inventory is completed—is that the illusion was greater than the reality. The fear of facing myself kept me at a standstill and, until I became willing to put pencil to paper, I was arresting my growth based on an intangible.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.From the book Daily ReflectionsCopyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.Need the Daily Reflection Book?Visit our web siteRead about Recovery on our BlogVisit our Facebook GroupFollow us on TwitterSupport the Podcast:- On Patreon: https://patreon.com/dailyreflection- On PayPal: https://paypal.me/dailyreflectionIf you're struggling with alcohol or addiction, or wondering how to stop drinking it's helpful to know that there's a solution that has worked for millions of people.
