Music is the medium, and helping students feel seen and valued is the goal. This is the fuel behind Maize Elementary School teacher Katie Todd's music instruction to kindergarten through fourth grade students. Katie earned her Bachelors of Music Education in 2012 from Kansas State University. She continued her education by pursuing a Masters of Music Education degree at her alma mater, graduating in 2017. Todd is in her twelfth year of teaching and currently teaches in Maize USD 266, where she is admired by colleagues, parents, and students alike.Katie finds much of the inspiration for lessons from her time spent with her two young daughters, Olivia and Charlotte, and her husband.Being a mother gives her insight into what families need from their educators to help them connect and bond. Additionally, she teaches private oboe lessons, is a New Teacher Mentor, and collaborates with Kansas State University to support new and future Elementary Music Teachers. In January of 2024 Todd was recognized as a Music for All: Advocacy in Action award winner for the Elementary Excellence category. She received this for her efforts over the past three years to connect students and their families with Kindie music artists through their grade level performances. She was also selected as the 2024 Elementary Teacher of the Year Nominee for USD266. In August of 2024 Katie released her first single Chickadee under the artist name “Katie T”. Her entrance into the Kindie music world came after encouragement received from friends and family as well as members of the Children's Music Network. She was fortunate to work with Bret Turner and Ian Walters of The Tallest Kid in the Room on this release. The song can be heard on all streaming platforms. Katie loves building relationships with her students and families and is passionate about helping them connect to each other and finding a deeper understanding of themselves through music. This quote can be found on the wall of her classroom: “ This is why I teach music…not because I expect you to major in music, not because I expect you to play or sing all your life, not so you can relax, not so you can have fun, but so you will be human, so you will recognize beauty, so you will be closer to an infinite beyond this world, so you will have something to clog to, so you will have more love, more compassion, more gentleness, more good. In short, more life.” - author unknownChickadee by Katie Todd

Joining us on this epic quest is none other than our legendary recurring guest Karrington Martin from K&K Indie Gaming Corner.

This week we're blasting off into outer space to take a look back at the classic PS1 fighting game Gundam Battle Assault. Released in North America in 2000, this game brought the action-packed combat of the popular Gundam anime franchise to PlayStation gamers. Our special guest this episode is Karrington Martin from the fantastic K&K Indie Gaming Corner podcast. Karrington is a huge Gundam fan and will provide expert insight into the lore behind the game's mobile suits and storylines. We'll discuss how Gundam was a part of his life growing up and how the timing of the North American release made for some interesting thoughts. From the slower than you'd expect paced arcade-style gameplay to the impressively animated sprite work, Gundam Battle Assault was a technical marvel on the PlayStation. We'll analyze the combat mechanics, graphics, and modes that made it a classic among mech fighting games. And we'll debate where it ranks among other Gundam games and mech fighters on the original PlayStation. So power up your beam sabers and launch your verniers because we're taking control of some epic Gundams today with our guest Karrington Martin! Strap in and enjoy this action-packed episode of Play Comics! Learn such things as: Did any kids back then know about the heartbreak they were getting into? Does it matter if you don't get the first game of a series? How can you mix together such a roster of characters who have little, if any, interaction in the source material? That Transformers Beast Wars episode that we talked about And so much more! You can find Karrington at K&K Indie Gaming podcast website. You can also find him on Twitter @Desertfury90.

I'm honored to share this throwback episode with best-selling, award-winning, children's recording artist Laurie Berkner. Laurie's music bridges a divide between parents and their children and invites connection, joy and meaning. In our conversation, I was compelled by the stories Laurie shared about families whose children have cancer and listen to her music for comfort in the hospital or whose children have autism and their first words were the names of Laurie's songs. I hope that through this episode, you also experience renewed faith in ripple effects beyond what we first imagine and a reverence for following the rhythm in our lives, if we make the space to listen.   Much appreciation, — Full Episode Show Notes Check out the full show notes from the original episode here: http://mothersquest.com/ep38-laurieberkner/   Mother's Quest is a podcast for moms who are ready to live a truly E.P.I.C. life.

The practice of Lojong has the literal translation of “mind training.” The great Buddhist master Atisha taught mind training over 1,000 years ago in the form of slogans. These 59 slogans are designed to be practiced in the hustle and bustle of daily life to retrain our minds in the ways of peace, compassion, wisdom, and bodhicitta (the wish to attain enlightenment for the sake of all living beings.) In this episode, JoAnn Fox focuses on the 13th slogan, “Be grateful to everyone.”   Be grateful to everyone. Who does everyone include?  Grateful to those who lift us up Grateful to All living brings Grateful to people we find difficult   A grateful mind is a happy mind. With such a mind, we see the wonders in the world and many possibilities.    Being grateful to those who are kind or help us is easier, but sometimes we forget.    One way to develop gratitude to all living beings is just to consider what we had at our last meal. We didn't pick the vegetables. We didn't build the truck that delivered the vegetables. We didn't build the road the truck drove on or the roads that carry us home each day. We are connected to all living beings and benefit tremendously from them.    With difficult people, we can be grateful for the things we learn from them. Only from those who challenge us can we learn great patience and resilience. They can also show us what we still need to heal. Our mind is like an open wound; others help us to understand that the wound hasn't healed yet. Gratitude for lessons learned can be a great healer of resentment.   The sluggish and gluttonous simpleton  Who sleeps and rolls about Like a fat, grain-fed hog Is reborn again and again. (325)*   In the past, this mind went wandering  Where it wished, as it liked, and as it pleased.  Now I will retrain it wisely, As an elephant keeper does an elephant in rut. —Buddha, The Dhammapada    References   Buddha.The Dhammapada.

The Buddha taught that certain factors strengthen the karmic results of our actions. One example is that the effects of actions we do toward certain types of people are intensified because of their special relationship to us and the benefits we receive from them. Our parents are one of these types of people, since we have received so much help from them in the past. Buddha, therefore, advised that we try to take care of our parents and cherish them as much as we can. In this episode, JoAnn Fox relates the teachings on this subject in a way that can also begin to heal our experience of our parents if that is needed.   “There is strength in actions directed toward the three jewels, gurus, those who are like gurus, parents, and the like, for, though you direct no intense thoughts toward them and do them only small harm or help, the ensuing misdeed and merit is great.” —Je Tsongkhapa    The elephant called Dhanapālaka  Is hard to control when in rut;  Tied down, the tusker doesn't even eat,  Remembering the elephant forest. —Buddha, The Dhammapada    References   Buddha.The Dhammapada.

The word enlightenment is a translation of two Pali words that mean “awakened” and “freed from all fetters.” To become enlightened then means we wake to the true nature of reality, and we free our mind from all the shackles of the delusions, like ignorance, anger, and attachment. The basic nature of the mind is purity. No matter how troubled or deluded someone's mind is currently, their basic nature is purity. In this episode, we try to get an understanding and an experience of the basic nature of the mind: purity, clarity, and awareness.    “The deep, peaceful clarity of our essential mind is in the nature of love, and in this calm atmosphere the disturbances of hatred and anger have no place. While absorbed in this deep state of awareness, there is no chance for a harmful thought to agitate us. It is not a question of consciously deciding to refrain from anger and behave virtuously; this loving, benevolent feeling arises spontaneously and effortlessly, from the depths of our being.    As this feeling of spaciousness grows and as we become closer to the correct view of nonconcrete non-self-existence, a sense of unity between ourselves and everything else will arise. Instead of feeling suffocated and oppressed by our surroundings — “It's me against them” — we will feel as if there is room enough for everything in the world. There is space for everything. Within the clear space of nonduality, everything flows freely in a constant process of coming and going, growing and dying, arising and disappearing. Within this expanse of non-self-existent reality, all things function perfectly without obstructing one another. There is no conflict, no confusion, and no separation. Instead of feeling alienated from our environment, from others, or even from ourselves, we share in the experience of universal harmony.” —Lama Yeshe    Excellent are tamed mules, Thoroughbreds, horses of the Indus valley, Tusked elephants and great elephants.  But even more excellent  Are people who have tamed themselves.    Not by means of these animals could one go  To that place not gone to,  Where a self-tamed person goes  By means of a well-tamed, disciplined self. (322–323)* —Buddha, The Dhammapada    References   Buddha.The Dhammapada. Translated by Gil Fronsdale. (Kindie).Shambala, Boston and London, 2011.   Yeshe, Thupten. Introduction to Tantra. (Kindle).
