Why Say Thank You Anyway? I Steve Dalton,  Author of The Job Closer & 2 Hour Job Search   Most thank-you notes are nothing more than polite spam. They're sent on autopilot, on reflex. That's why they're forgettable. But what if your thank you's worked as a strategy not a formality… Even better, as he fastest way to turn a stranger into an advocate, to be referred, and re-invited? Steve Dalton—is the author of The 2-Hour Job Search and The Job Closer (translated into 7 languages) —joins me to dismantle the myth of thank yous.    Together we expose why: Generic thank yous commoditize you. They disappear into inbox purgatory. Bespoke gratitude compounds trust. It shows you heard, acted, and evolved. Follow-through is the differentiator. Not words, but proof. Gratitude is career capital. The cheapest, fastest way to turn strangers into advocates. This isn't about manners. It's about leverage. If you're still treating thank you's like a box to tick, you're missing the single most underutilized tool in your job search arsenal. Listen in—and start saying thank you in a way that actually counts.   Connect with Steve Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daltonsteve/ Books https://2hourjobsearch.com/ https://www.thejobcloser.com/ Loved the episode?

In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard speaks with Sandy Joy Weston, M.Ed., author, podcaster, fitness entrepreneur, and unapologetic powerhouse of positivity. Sandy has dedicated her career to helping people connect their mindset and movement to create lasting joy, resilience, and success.

During this conversation, Sandy shares how growing up in challenging circumstances shaped her mission to spread joy, why rituals and micro-habits matter more than marathon routines, and how anyone can reset their mind and body in as little as one to three minutes a day.

This Sunday, we continued our journey through the Song of Ascents. We were reminded that in Psalm 124 that if the Lord had not been on our side, we would have been swallowed up by life's storms. These ancient “Songs of Ascent” were survival songs—words sung by God's people as they journeyed step by step toward His presence. They teach us something powerful: in every situation we face, we have a choice. We can descend into blame, pride, and entitlement—or we can ascend toward humility, gratitude, and faith. The songs we sing with our lives matter. Gratitude, thankfulness, and humility in the midst of suffering are what set followers of Jesus apart from the world.We live in a culture that when things get hard or difficult it is working to move you towards blame and victimhood, but God calls us to fight for a different algorithm—a way of living shaped by responsibility, gratitude, and dependence on Him. When we ascend, we discover God's presence in the silence, His protection in the storm, and His power in our weakness. Let's be a people who keep moving toward Him, singing songs of faith together as we go. As Psalm 124 closes, may this be our declaration: “Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

Psalm 138:1-3 MSGThank you! Everything in me says “Thank you!” Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: “Thank you!” Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength.In this passage, King David's gratitude is all encompassing. Everything in him says “Thank you.” Nothing is held back. All of his heart, soul and mind kneel and worship God.David's gratitude is expressed specifically about God's love, His faithfulness, His name, and His Word.David's gratitude has an origin and a reason for being: the moment I called out, You stepped in and brought strength.Gratitude cannot be fully expressed until the reason for gratitude has been fully recognized. Our busy, often distracted lives can cause us to miss God's goodness. Our self-focused perspective can keep our eyes on our perceived lack, not our realized gain.Listen again to David's appeal to God: Thank you! Everything in me says “Thank you!” Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: “Thank you!” Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength. (Psalm 138:1-3 MSG) If you know Christ today, if you have a relationship with God, then He has indeed stepped in; He has most certainly made your life large with strength, even in Your darkest moments. There is power for daily living in gratitude.What are areas of you life, or people in your life that you should express your gratefulness right now?Can you thank him for the challenges too, knowing He will use them for you good?Let's pray using David's words: “Thank you! Everything in me says ‘Thank you!' Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: “Thank you!” Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength. As above, so below.”

Pastor Luke Rangel reminds us from 2 Chronicles 20 that Judah worshiped before the battle, trusting God to fight for them, and challenges us to praise God in advance of the outcome.

On Labor Day, we honor the dignity of work and the dignity of every worker. Whether in offices, fields, homes, or hospitals—the labor of every man and woman matters. Earnest labor builds families, strengthens communities, and shapes our world. May Labor Day be more than a time of rest—may it also be a time for gratitude. Gratitude for those who work quietly behind the scenes. The Lord worked with his hands, walked among the weary, and lifted up the burdened. He reminds us that every job done with love has immeasurable value in the eyes of God. May we strive for fairness, justice, and respect in every workplace— and hold in prayer those who are unemployed or underemployed, that they may find meaningful opportunities and renewed hope. Happy Labor Day.

Do you have difficulty expressing thanks to people? Many do. But what about expressing thanks to God? Scripture tells us this is not only important, it's essential. In Romans 1:20–21, we see a warning against neglecting to thank God:

This sermon emphasized the power of gratitude as a transformative heart posture that deepens our relationship with God and sustains other virtues like honor, humility, and mercy. Using the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, it challenged believers to not only recognize Jesus as the source of their blessings but to return to Him with genuine thanks and worship. Ultimately, it called the church to action—creating space for others to encounter Jesus, living lives marked by thankfulness, and letting gratitude reproduce the Kingdom through everyday testimony.

God gives us opportunity to grow in humility through our humiliations, but there are three other ways to cultivate this receptivity to the Holy Spirit: Contrition, Gratitude, and SURRENDER!Homily for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

Send us a textThis episode is a meditation and a prayer — to the Ancestors who came before us, on behalf of the future generations who will carry on after we are gone.Drawing from the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius and the Stoic ideal of living a virtuous life in service to others, I reflect on impermanence, legacy, and what truly matters. Wealth, fame, and status fade like vapor, but kindness, generosity, and love endure across time.I share the story of “Auntie Jay,” a remarkable Korean woman whose life was shaped by an act of compassion decades ago — a reminder that what lasts is not our possessions, but the invisible thread of kindness passed down from generation to generation.The episode closes with a prayer to the Ancestors: gratitude for their struggles, guidance for the present, and the hope that we may leave behind a better world for our children, and their children.

Think about it—every choice you make sets off a chain reaction. Some bring life, some bring regret. But when we reflect Jesus then the side effects of our lives touch others with love and grace. Together we'll unpack what that looks like to live in generosity, gratitude, community, and trust. In today's message, we will focus on growing in gratitude because it plays such a significant role in fostering positive relationships and strengthening faith.

Morning Mantra: “Never forget you are responsible for the words you speak.”People are so casual with the words “I'm sorry.”  Sometimes it can feel like there is no feeling behind the words. One way to acknowledge your part in an apology is to replace “Sorry” with “Thank You” and watch how things change.Instead of saying “Sorry I'm late” Say “Thank you for waiting.”Instead of saying “Sorry, I forgot.” Say “Thank you for reminding me.”Instead of saying “Sorry I hurt your feelings.” Say “Thank you for sharing how that made you feel.”Changing the tone of your words to one of gratitude is an incredible way to change your mindset and behavior, as well as those you need to apologize to.#BeOpenToThankYou #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

In this episode of Let's Talk, Coach Che sits down with financial expert Michael Yazny, known as the Financial Fixer, to explore the real relationship between money, resilience, and reinvention in midlife.Money stress feels heavier at this stage of life: careers shift, family responsibilities pile up, and the need to “get it right” intensifies. Michael brings three decades of experience in financing, factoring, and entrepreneurship, sharing why so many women stop after hearing “no,” how to find options beyond the bank, and why underpricing is the slow path to burnout.This isn't just about dollars and cents  it's about value, courage, and the belief that starting over is still possible.Banks are lenders, not partners; knowing alternatives is a matter of survival.Women entrepreneurs often face unique hurdles, but doors exist beyond the first rejection.Pricing with confidence is oxygen; underpricing suffocates a business.Midlife wisdom is a valuable asset; experience helps navigate financial storms.A support team (lawyer, accountant, broker/consultant) protects your business and your family.Professional advice costs less than recovering from mistakes.Reinvention in midlife demands self-trust, resilience starts with belief.Gratitude and relationships matter: ask respectfully, and people will often help.If this conversation sparked something in you, don't stop here:Grab Michael Yazny's book So You Want to Start Your Own Business for practical steps to grow and protect your business.Subscribe to Let's Talk with Coach Che for more bold conversations on wellness, reinvention, and the courage to begin again.Share this episode with someone in midlife who's building, rebuilding, or reimagining their next chapter.Let's Talk,Che

Creating Better Habits for a Better Marriage: Michael's Story You love your wife. You love your family. And you'd do anything for them. But if you're honest… things don't feel quite the same as they used to. Maybe you're exhausted from work, the baby, or the endless list of responsibilities. Maybe your evenings with your wife now look more like two roommates collapsed on the couch—silent, tired, and just hoping tomorrow will be better. That's exactly where Michael found himself. A good man. A loving husband. A dad who adored his toddler son. And yet—he noticed the spark in his marriage was fading. Instead of ignoring it, he made a decision that changed everything. And maybe that's where you are today. Masculinity Reclaimed Foundations for Lasting Change Michael wasn't looking for fluff. He wasn't looking for self-help tricks that sound nice but fall flat. He wanted something biblical. Something that honored God's design for intimacy. Something practical enough to implement while juggling fatherhood and career. That's when he discovered Masculinity Reclaimed Foundations. From the very beginning, he noticed it wasn't complicated. Daily gratitude. Encouraging words. Apologies when needed. Intentional listening. Simple? Yes. Easy? Not always. But transformational? Absolutely. Michael said it “sparked something new.” He began noticing his wife respond in ways she hadn't before. Even more surprising—she started picking up the same habits he was practicing, without ever being taught them directly. One morning, while out on a walk, she said, “I forgot to write my gratitudes today.” Michael was stunned. Gratitudes were part of his new daily rhythm—something the program had challenged him to do. He hadn't even invited her into it. But she saw his consistency, and she was inspired to follow. That's the power of godly leadership. Christian Marriage Intimacy That Transforms Daily Life Michael realized intimacy was about more than the physical. Yes, God designed sex as a beautiful, holy gift—but intimacy starts long before the bedroom. When a wife feels safe, known, and wholeheartedly cherished, her heart opens. That's the essence of Christian marriage intimacy: a holistic connection that touches body, soul, and spirit. For Michael, it meant slowing down. Looking his wife in the eye. Really listening when she spoke—not just nodding while his mind wandered. Offering compliments, even when it felt small. Expressing love, even in the middle of an ordinary day. And the results? Their evenings shifted. Instead of collapsing into silence, they began talking again. Laughing again. Rebuilding the kind of bond that made marriage joyful instead of draining. Maybe that's what's missing in your marriage. Maybe you're craving closeness but don't know where to start. Michael would tell you—start small. Gratitude. Encouragement. Listening. And watch how God multiplies it. Christian Husband Leadership That Inspires Your Wife Here's the truth: someone has to go first. Too many men wait, hoping their wives will change before they do. But waiting is not leadership. Michael discovered that a Christian husband's leadership is about modeling the very change you want to see. Choosing gratitude when negativity feels easier. Speaking life instead of criticism. Creating joy where tension used to rule. Surrendering pride in order to serve. And his wife responded. Not because he pressured her. Not because he demanded it. But because love that reflects Christ is contagious. Friend, this is the hard but freeing truth: leadership begins with you. Your wife may or may not immediately change. But your consistent obedience to Christ's call—to love your wife as He loved the church—will never return void. Marriage Transformation Stories That Stir Hope When Michael first joined the program, he rated his marriage a 7 or 8 out of 10. Good. Steady. But he knew something was missing. After stepping into these practices, his wife said something that stopped him in his tracks: “This has been transformational for our marriage.” That's not just improvement. That's restoration. And Michael's story isn't unique. Week after week, we hear marriage transformation stories from men all over the world—young dads, empty-nesters, husbands married for two years or fifty. The common thread? They chose to lead with love. To step into accountability. To embrace God's way, not culture's distortions. And God met them there. If He can do it for Michael, He can do it for you. Final Thoughts Let me ask you directly: where is your marriage today? Maybe it feels “good but not great.” Maybe the spark is gone, and you're worried what things will look like in five or ten years. Maybe you're exhausted from parenting and silently grieving the closeness you once had. Friend, you don't have to settle. Michael didn't. And the best part? His wife followed his lead without him ever asking her to. That's what happens when a man chooses to be the first one to change. Michael made a decision. He chose to take a step forward. And it began with one simple action: a conversation. That's where you can begin, too.   With love,   The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - Are you ready to take the next step in improving your marriage? We are here for you! Schedule a free Clarity Call and take the first step to transforming your marriage. PPS - Here is a quote from (another) recent graduate:  "Our marriage was doomed to fail if we continued with the same unhealthy patterns that we had been using for years. This was a very hard process of self evaluation. My relationship with God was put at the top of my list for each day and I was able to start to feel connected to Him again and have loved being in the word. I also realized that I was taking myself and life way too seriously and have had to force myself to be more playful which has helped to keep the mood in our relationship more fun and light."

“The more grateful you are, the more gratitude you express in the world, the more gratitude the world will express to you.”  Gratitude isn't just a nice idea—it's a multiplier for relationships, energy, and business success. The simple act of expressing thanks creates a ripple effect that builds trust, deepens bonds, and opens doors. When you make gratitude a daily practice, you're not just acknowledging others—you're generating powerful momentum in your own life.  In this Nugget, is the impact of a simple daily discipline: sending five gratitude notes for 30 days. Just 150 notes can completely transform the way opportunities, connections, and abundance flow into your life. This challenge isn't about technique or strategy—it's about heart.

Science confirms many of the things taught in the Bible, such as the benefits of exercising gratitude.  Thinking daily about what you are deeply grateful to God for rewires your brain and improves your physical and mental wellbeing.  When Jesus healed the ten lepers, the one that returned to thank Him and glorify God was not only healed but for his faith he was saved.  Expressing your gratitude directly to God affects your whole attitude and relationship with Him.

I've been laughing at how quickly all my best-laid plans just kind of went sideways. I thought I had this trip with my dogs mapped out perfectly with the timing, the route, and the stops. But then, I encountered one little hiccup after another. A tire sensor acting up, late departures, and rolling into towns I didn't even plan to see. I somehow even ended up in a fancy hotel with two German shepherds in tow. None of it was what I pictured, but it actually turned out better. As frustrating as change can feel in the moment, I've found it brings unexpected gifts like extra time with loved ones, new confidence in my dogs (and myself), and the simple joy of realizing we can handle more than we think. That's what today's Wise Walk is all about. It's embracing the open road, giving gratitude for the surprises, and seeing how getting out of our comfort zone deepens our rhythm with ourselves and those we care about. Where in your life are you navigating the metaphorical open road? Is it requiring you to embrace change, embrace possibilities, and get resourceful because the unexpected is happening and you have to navigate that unexpectedness? As you ponder and reflect, are you gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and of others? What lessons are you learning as you navigate your open road, your journey, or how you want to move from point A to point B? Where in your life are you open to your own rhythm and open to the open road? When you get curveballs in life or a delay of game, can you give gratitude for how you embrace the change? Can you give gratitude for the possibilities that surface from that change? Can you see what's possible out of it and recognize that this was a blessing in disguise, not what you set out to do, not your original plan, but something even better? As you step outside your comfort zone and embrace the change and possibilities in front of you, are you giving gratitude for those unexpected blessings? Are you giving gratitude for how you rise to the level of your own expectations? Are you giving celebration and kudos to those around you who rise to the level of the expectations that you set? Where in your life are you giving gratitude and appreciation for how you are navigating and staying in rhythm and flow as you deepen your own experience? I'd love to hear where in your life you're giving gratitude and appreciation for how you're navigating and staying in rhythm and flow. I have so much to give gratitude for including you, this podcast, and our weekly Wise Walks.  Thank you for joining me, and I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode. Until next Thursday, keep your Stride On! In this episode: [02:14] My big lesson on this journey was the idea about embracing change and possibilities. I had intentions of leaving on a certain date, but I kept getting thrown curveballs. [03:08] I'm goal-oriented and having my plans changed was frustrating. In reality there was no reason that I couldn't pivot, and I got to spend extra quality time with my family. [04:35] The unexpected extra time that I got in St Augustine was really beautiful for me, my family, and my dogs. [05:45] I ended up stopping in Mobile, Alabama and staying at a very nice downtown hotel. I had some anxiety about the whole thing, but the dogs behaved perfectly. [07:39] I learned to embrace change when I'm in an environment that I didn't anticipate. The outcome was beautiful, and we were in a rhythm together. [08:36] This set us up with the idea of possibilities and being able to handle whatever was before us. [09:59] I also ended up connecting with a friend in Wichita Falls, Texas. It was an unexpected, awesome blessing to meet up with my friend on a road trip. [12:32] I had targeted destinations, but now I've learned it's better to go with the flow. [13:35] Embracing change and trying new things gets us out of our comfort zone. This expanded my understanding of myself and of my dogs and their capabilities. I have to give them more credit. [15:48] How often in our life can we embrace this mentality where we step out of our comfort zone and embrace change and then give gratitude for it? Memorable Quotes: “The best moments aren't the ones I planned. They're the ones that showed up when I finally stopped trying to control every detail.” - Mary Tess “I am gaining so much, and the dogs are gaining so much. We are gaining as a family unit by learning the rhythm of the road and learning what we're capable of while inviting transformation and going with the flow.” - Mary Tess “The rhythm of the road is a lot like the rhythm of life. It can be messy and unpredictable, but full of hidden gifts.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, Am I really a generous person? That's the question I've been sitting with lately, and in this episode, I'm getting honest about what I've discovered. We're talking about the Universal Law of Giving & Gratitude — what it is, how it works, and why the energy behind our giving matters just as much as the gift itself. I share my own journey of realizing that while I give freely in certain ways — like encouragement, inspiration, and love to my kids — other forms of giving often comes with conditions. For years, I tithed out of habit, not heart. But this law has shown me that true giving happens when we consciously choose to give from love, to causes that light us up, and with gratitude that amplifies the energy we've released into the world. Together, we'll explore how giving and gratitude keep the flow of abundance moving in our lives.

Send us a textGod's grace is, perhaps, the central principle of the gospel because it is the expression of Christ's Atonement. No other doctrine deserves more of our attention than this one. In this episode, our son Aaron, who lives in Puerto Rico, shares his thoughts on grace. I'm convinced that if you listen closely and consider his explanation of grace, your own concept of grace will expand and become more meaningful in your life. __________________________Do you have questions or comments?Please contact me: rtosguthorpe@gmail.comWant more info about my books and talks?Go to my website: https://www.russelltosguthorpe.com/Want to order a book?

(Guidepost 4)Gratitude and joy aren't just feel-good emotions—they are spiritual practices and nervous system tools for living a wholehearted life. In this episode, we explore what it means to let go of scarcity and fear of the dark and instead lean into the beauty and presence of joy, even when it feels risky.Ella shares personal reflections, including how “glimmers”—small moments of safety and delight—helped retrain her nervous system to receive joy after years of powerlessness. We talk about how joy softens hard days, why we often resist feeling good, and how to notice what's good on purpose.You'll hear:What glimmers are and why they matter for trauma healingWhy we resist joy (hello, foreboding joy and upper limits)The science of gratitude and how it rewires your brainHow to begin scheduling joy as a deliberate act of self-connectionHow to make space for emotional safety, even when life is hardThis episode is your invitation to stop waiting for joy to arrive and start making room for it—to let gratitude pull you back to the present and remind you: you are safe enough to feel good, even here.Get your free Wholehearted Living journal prompts. https://calm-sun-843.myflodesk.com/x5yo2oyoyuBook a free discovery coaching call: www.ella-hooper.comFollow me on Instagram:@ella.hooper__

Mark Monchek thought he'd found his dream home in Brooklyn. Six days later, it was on fire. What followed were break-ins, theft, and months of living without basic necessities. But this devastating experience became the foundation for everything Mark teaches today about opportunity intelligence. "Everything we have in life, other than our humanness and our relationships, we rent," he discovered. Through radical disruption, Mark learned that hidden networks of support exist everywhere, most people are naturally generous, and that accepting reality without judgment opens the door to transformation. His journey from trauma to wisdom offers profound insights for anyone facing unexpected transitions.Mark Monchek is the founder of Opportunity Lab, a strategy and leadership development firm that provides the direction, systems, and tools to take organizations to the next level of substantial growth. A proud father and grandfather, Mark has worked with leaders from Google, Apple, JPMorgan Chase, General Electric, Goldman Sachs, The New York Times, Wharton School of Business, Columbia University, NBC, and the United Nations. He's the author of the Amazon nonfiction bestseller "Culture of Opportunity: How to Grow Your Business in an Age of Disruption" and has been featured in Real Leaders, The Better Business Book, Lifetime Network, WCBS, Newsday, and the San Francisco Chronicle. Mark's approach combines strategy, leadership development, and culture transformation, all informed by his own journey from devastating loss to profound wisdom about opportunity and abundance.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week.

You're overperforming because your identity isn't aligned. This episode exposes the pressure behind productivity — and shows why leadership without recalibration will always leave you empty.What if the exhaustion you're feeling isn't because you're not strong enough… but because you're leading from a misaligned identity?In this episode of The Recalibration, we confront the pressure to perform, produce, and polish — and how it fractures the lives of high-capacity humans from the inside out.We'll unpack:– Why high-functioning leaders quietly burn out– How overperformance shows up as image-driven leadership– What performance-first cultures miss about sustainability– How to recalibrate leadership from pressure to presenceWith a deeply personal story, a case study from Angela Ahrendts, and a micro-recalibration that will stop you in your tracks, this episode speaks directly to:– The Burnout Wrapped in Gratitude still pushing forward– The Misaligned Achiever who can't maintain the image anymore– The Internal Success Seeker trying to lead from authenticityToday's Micro Recalibration:“Where in my leadership am I performing — instead of connecting?”Lead from presence, not pressure.

My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.
