The residents of Ambridge take us on a journey back in time, acting as our guides in this sparkling new adaptation of Flora Thompson's classic tales of rural life in the late nineteenth century. Young Laura's horizons are widened significantly as she settles into her new life, working in the post office close to the bustling market town of Candleford, and unwittingly becoming the protegee of the formidable local postmistress, Dorcas Lane. Miss Lane presides over the Candleford Green post office as an 1890s Susan Carter, keeping an eye on all the goings-on on the village green and (unlike Susan in Ambridge) guarding her customers' intimate secrets. As in Ambridge, (only some 30 miles away), the Candleford Green post office is the hub of the community, used by everyone from jovial local squire, Sir Timothy, to the Irish labourers who charm the post mistress into opening late on a Saturday so that they can send their wages back home on pay day. As Laura gradually learns the ropes in her new job, her eyes are opened to a wealth of new attitudes and experiences - and romance appears on the horizon. Steeped in a world where small things matter, the cast of The Archers tells the story of Laura's journey from Lark Rise to Candleford, and beyond.

The residents of Ambridge take us on a journey back in time, acting as our guides in this sparkling new adaptation of Flora Thompson's classic novels about a rural childhood in the late nineteenth century. Born in Lark Rise, an Oxfordshire hamlet some thirty miles from Ambridge, Laura Timmins is an earnest, bookish girl with a vivid imagination, who struggles to fit in with the local children. They have little money but Laura's parents have big aspirations for Laura and her brother, Edmund, and they are determined to move their family away from the remote hamlet as soon as they have the opportunity. Somehow the opportunity never arises, and Laura's father dies in the same tiny house fifty years later. Even though the community of Lark Rise may offer warmth and friendship, Laura begins to realise that it can also be stifling and claustrophobic. Laura's parents may have failed to make the break with the past, but Laura herself must take charge of her own destiny and seek pastures new. Steeped in a world where small things matter, the cast of The Archers tells the story of Laura's epic, life-changing passage from Lark Rise to Candleford.

Nervous Susan has a riding lesson. With some coaxing from Lilian she gets in the saddle. She's not at all comfortable with it at first, and particularly unimpressed with Emma taking photos. However Emma assures her she's the bravest person she knows, and today's about facing another challenge. As the lesson progresses Susan realises she's actually doing it and begins to really enjoy herself. Emma whoops that her mum's just nailed the first of her ‘six at sixty' birthday challenges. Josh goes cap in hand to Jim, in the hope of reinstating Jim and Kiki's booking for the harvest supper now that the Straw Crows have cancelled. Jim had found out from Chelsea that this was the case, and enjoys the moment of karma before refusing Josh. Instead he asks Josh for a lift – he owes him a favour. Once they're underway Josh discovers they're heading to Kiki's, to get her back on board. Jim explains that whilst he wanted Josh to squirm, he doesn't want the whole village to suffer. However they're too late, and they find out Kiki's gone away for the weekend. The gig's off. Jim apologises, but Josh acknowledges this is all on him. Jim invites Josh to the Lark Rise to Candleford readings, and Josh is happy to accompany him. They all settle in cosily at No.6 The Green with hot chocolate and candles, and the evening's a success. Jim and Josh agree that their harvest supper entertainment dilemma is solved - they will recreate Lark Rise by Candlelight!

Neil and Jazzer talk about Chelsea's upcoming visit to Berrow Farm off the back of her interest in Lark Rise to Candleford. When she arrives she's keen to get stuck in, but Jazzer's protective of the pigs and teaches Chelsea some livestock etiquette. Chelsea's sad to think of the pigs all going off to the abattoir in a few months. Jazzer cheers her up with a promise of a trip to the Bull. Jazzer's not looking forward to the book reading tomorrow but concedes to Chelsea that if it's for the Prof, he supposes it's ok. He's horrified to find out that Neil's been reading bits of the book too – even if it is only the pig-related sections. Neil declares it interesting; Jazzer should have a look. Jazzer retorts that's not going to happen. Pip and Stella watch the seed drill in action. It may have caused her some heartache to get it, but Stella's having fun showing it off to Pip. They enjoy a picnic and some flirtation before Stella ventures that she wants to tell Rosie about their relationship. To her surprise Pip agrees; they'll do it when they get home. Later in the pub Chelsea notices Pip has a glow about her. As they all chat about tomorrow's book reading, Pip gets a message about an emergency family meeting – Josh's band has pulled out of the harvest supper event on Saturday. They have no idea what they're going to do.

Mia feels sorry for George as he packs for his move to The Green. George hates that everything has to be so complicated. Mia admits her own family arrangements took some getting used to, but she quite likes having two homes now. Later when helping Will she agrees to cut George some slack. She gives Will a photo frame, for his future adventures. Susan tries to buoy downcast Emma about Fallon taking the Tearoom management position that she'd hoped for herself. She'll get where she wants to be eventually. They chat about the Lark Rise reading on Friday, agreeing it will cheer Jim up, who loves the book. Emma's keen for Susan to do something to mark her sixtieth. Susan wants people not to believe she's sixty, and maybe do some things that challenge her. Between them they come up with the idea of six things at sixty. Emma confides she feels she's messed up with George. Her mum counsels all you can do with your children is try to keep them on track. When George moves out, he'll still be in the village, with his dad and Poppy to keep an eye on him. And George will be there for them too. Emma hopes so, for Will's sake. Later George promises Emma he'll look after his dad and Emma's declares she'll miss George. They hug. George worries everyone's concern over Will is down to him. Will reassures him. He shouldn't hang on to his recent bad behaviour. Will hopes this move is good for all of them.

As the cast of the Archers star in a new adaptation of Flora Thompson's Lark Rise to Candleford, Samira is joined by actors Louiza Patikas, who plays Helen in the Archers, and Susie Riddell, who plays Tracy, to discuss the two-part Radio 4 drama, now called Lark Rise to Ambridge. Actor and chef turned director Philip Barantini joins Samira to discuss making the sequel for BBC television to his BAFTA-nominated, one-take film, Boiling Point, set in the febrile atmosphere of a high-end restaurant kitchen. An ambitious series of spaces at the National Gallery of Scotland opens this week to display Scottish art created in the last 150 years. BBC Scotland's arts correspondent Pauline McLean visits the new galleries and explains what the building and the works tell us about Scottish identity and how Scottish artists have been representing their country and people. The Writers Guild of America has reached a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios, streaming services and producers, to end the strike by writers over pay and AI. The strike has had an impact on film and television production here and Lisa Holdsworth, Chair of the Writers Guild of Great Britain, explains the significance of the settlement for the UK. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Olivia Skinner

Fallon's feeling positive. She's created a survey for customers. She wants to be on the front foot for when the charging station café opens next summer. Emma tries to get Pip to fill in the survey but she's distracted by a text message. By the time Tom and Natasha arrive to have a word with Fallon, they've gathered some useful feedback from other customers. Fallon's incredulity grows as Natasha and Tom go through their plans for the Tea Room. They assure her it's not personal and they hope she'll consider the manager's position. Emma is as stunned as Fallon. Emma encourages Fallon to go her own way and not work for the Archers. Fallon is galvanised – she won't be gratefully accepting Tom and Natasha's manager job. Emma's been accepted on to her English Literature course. Fallon reports that Jolene has enjoyed Lark Rise to Candleford on Emma's recommendation. Emma can imagine it being based on Ambridge hundreds of years ago. Pip tells Ruth that Stella rang her last night. They agree it's time to talk. Pip explains she hasn't been ready to tell Ruth and that their new relationship took both Pip and Stella by surprise. Pip challenges Ruth's response. She thought her mum would be happy for her once she was over the shock but Ruth says it's not as simple as that. Pip and Ruth talk openly leading to Ruth saying she doesn't think Stella is right for Pip. Pip puts on a brave face and tells her mum she doesn't need her approval.

Mia and Brad meet on a corridor in college. They share a brief kiss and pledge to coordinate some free time together. George calls Brad and accuses him of avoiding George. He asks him to the pub on Friday. Brad agrees, but later Mia asks to see him on Friday too. It's the only night they're both free. Brad says he'll cancel George. He broaches this with George, who accuses him of ditching their arrangement for Mia. Everyone's giving him a hard time, and he needs a mate at the moment. Since the video he made of Helen, he's trying to be more respectful. He knows he went too far. So is Brad still going to say no to one night at the pub with him? Chelsea reckons she'd be happy down the pub with family and a few mates for her birthday. She wonders if she's got boring. Tracy assures her she hasn't. Chelsea declares she'd like to start driving again. Susan calls round and spots a book of hers propping up the kitchen table. It must have got into the car boot stuff by mistake. It's Lark Rise to Candleford and she'd like it back. Tracy says she can't have it until Jazzer's fixed the table leg, but Susan insists it's precious to her. They get into a sisterly row. Later with the table fixed, Chelsea's engrossed in the book. Tracy suggests she might read something easier, but Chelsea wants a challenge. Tracy suggests they both read it – then they'd meet the challenge together.

Toby and Rex take Rosie for a walk in the rewilding meadow, where Toby tells Rex he's done with the playboy thing. He's now looking for long-term commitment. But Pip went a bit weird when Toby showed her his dating site and asked her which woman she'd choose. Pat explains to Susan that Helen's not up to working at the dairy. Susan broaches Helen's outburst in the Tearoom, saying that George only did what Henry asked him to do. Tearful Pat concedes that Helen may've over-reacted but what if Henry had been persuaded to bring Jack with him? Rob might've tried to kidnap Jack again. Later Emma tells Susan it says it all that Helen's not shown her face at work, after the scene she made. And George has gone off sick from Bridge Farm, so he doesn't risk getting another mouthful. She hopes Susan asked for an apology from Pat. Later while sorting through things for the car boot, Emma comes across Susan's copy of Lark Rise to Candleford. Emma's always wished she had more time to lose herself in a good book. Talk turns back to Helen and George, and Susan counsels that Helen deserves a little understanding after what Rob did to her and how he tried to kidnap Jack. Imagine if it was the other way round with Emma's children and someone had put them in danger. How would Emma feel? Susan understands why Emma wants to defend George, but sometimes Emma needs to stop turning a blind eye to him.

A latter-day Austen, an academic, a romantic, a comic, a caustic chronicler of the commonplace . . . The novelist Barbara Pym became beloved and Booker Prize-nominated in the late twentieth century, yet many rejections, years in the literary wilderness and manuscripts stored in linen cupboards preceded her revival. Paula Byrne, author of The Adventures of Miss Barbara Pym, and Lucy Scholes, critic, Paris Review columnist and editor at McNally Editions, join the Slightly Foxed team to plumb the depths and scale the peaks of Barbara Pym's writing, life and loves. From Nazi Germany to the African Institute; from London's bedsit land to parish halls; from unrequited love affairs with unsuitable men to an epistolary friendship with Philip Larkin; and from rejection by Jonathan Cape to overnight success via the TLS, we trace Pym's life through her novels, visiting the Bodleian and Boots lending libraries along the way. There's joy in Some Tame Gazelle, loneliness in Quartet in Autumn, and humour and all human experience in between, with excellent women consistently her theme. We then turn from Pym to other writers under or above the radar, finding darkness in Elizabeth Taylor, tragicomedy in Margaret Kennedy and real and surreal rackety lives in Barbara Comyns. To round out a cast of excellent women, we discover Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca was foretold in Elizabeth von Arnim's Vera, and we recommend an eccentric trip with Jane Bowles and her Two Serious Ladies, as well as theatrical tales from a raconteur in Eileen Atkins's memoir.  (Episode duration: 57 minutes; 16 seconds) Books Mentioned We may be able to get hold of second-hand copies of the out-of-print titles listed below.

The farmer-cum-writer Adrian Bell is best-known for his rural trilogy of Suffolk farming life, Corduroy, Silver Ley and The Cherry Tree. To explore Bell's life and writing the Slightly Foxed editors are joined by Richard Hawking, chairman of the Adrian Bell Society, author of At the Field's Edge: Adrian Bell and the English Countryside and editor of A Countryman's Winter Notebook, a selection of Bell's newspaper columns. We follow Bell from middle-class London to a farming apprenticeship in Suffolk, where his inability to do the most basic physical tasks taught him a new respect. A farmer, he discovered, held in his head thousands of facts about animals, crops and fodder, while his eye for a pig was ‘as subtle as an artist's'. As Bell grappled with life on the land, the locals considered him to be a recuperating invalid or an incompetent idiot but in time he grew into a bona fide countryman, one who criticized Thomas Hardy's portrayal of the ploughman as ‘only a man harrowing clods' and who managed to set up his own small farm, Silver Ley. From the pride of the wagon maker, the repeal of the corn act in the 1920s and the heartbreak of farmers going bankrupt to his bohemian mother making butter, his friend John Nash illustrating Men and the Fields and Second World War soldiers packing Corduroy in their kit bags, we learn that Bell is the perfect writer to reconnect people with the land, one whose work still feels relevant today. As his close friend Ronald Blythe noted, Bell was ‘in love with words', a love that led to his position as the founder of The Times cryptic crossword.  And in our usual round-up of recommended reading we enter Walter de la Mare's dreams, explore Shackleton's Antarctica and visit Catherine Fox's fictional Lindchester, the setting for her glorious twenty-first-century Trollopian tales.

49: Chapter 47. The Sky Suspended This episode is scripted by John Ruths, Andrew Stevens and Newell Fisher The pre-chapter quote is from Lark Rise to Candleford, by Flora Thompson. It seems to clearly reference Bigwig and what's going on between him and General Woundwort.  The chapter begins where we left off at the end of Chapter 45 at Nuthanger Farm and starts with Dandelion's leap when Hazel stamped his alarm. Leaving Hazel's fate behind us, we commence the rapid return to the Down. Dandelion is not only the fastest rabbit on WD, but he is also not inclined to panic and go tharn. Soon this rabbit and dog pair get up to where Blackberry is waiting, who attempts to draw the dog. Swift and driven Dandelion has now caught up!  The two intrepid rabbits work as a team to continue to draw the dog.  We're now back in the warren on Watership Down where we find a wounded but determined Bigwig who is unwilling to let Holly take his place. Woundwort is attempting to bargain with Bigwig and he actually offers him the Efrafan Mark of his choice. DoesWoundwort truly mean this?  Bigwig's response is surely the best line in lapine in the entire book. Woundwort leaps forward towards Bigwig again, using his seemingly relentless strength and weight as they bite at one another.  Slipping further back, nearly into the burrow he is defending, Bigwig lets loose of his hold on Woundwort, lowers his head, and pushes as hard as he can. Woundwort bites Bigwig's back but the blood that has been filling his nostrils from Bigwig's earlier blows means that he cannot breathe properly while holding a bite so he has to let go.  In his delerium Bigwig thinks he hears Fiver speaking to him as he did at the Warren of the Snares.  Bigwig then actually squeals "The wire!" aloud before springing back to life only to find that Woundwort has gone. Woundwort has backed out of his fight with Bigwig and attempts to send Vervain in to "finish" off Bigwig. Vervain shows up again from dealing with Bigwig.  But it's not to report that Bigwig has been killed. Woundwort calls him a coward. Then he and Woundwort realise that Bigwig is up once again, has moved up within the run he is defending, and is immediately below them. He is in an awful state, his fur-cap matted with blood and one ear half-severed and hanging limply...but he is ready to fight again. When Bigwig says “My Chief Rabbit has told me to defend this run and until he says otherwise I shall stay here” it only worsens things for Woundwort and Vervain.  They had thought that Bigwig was, surely, the chief. And with this new information they both assume that Bigwig's Chief must be even bigger and stronger.     And now Fiver wakes up from the seeming trance he was in. Woundwort sarcastically orders Vervain to kill him and leaves. But then Fiver states that he is sorry for the deaths of the Efrafans. This is too much for even a sadist like Vervain to take, who is usually comfortable mocking those he is about to kill. He is mesmerised by Fiver's demeanour and flees above ground in terror. As Woundwort loses control over his rabbits they are also shocked by his appearance. And then the dog appears. Only Woundwort stands his ground. Woundwort's stand against the dog is a truly fitting climax for this monstrous, remorseless, magnificent rabbit. Woundwort bellows the last words that anyone hears him say. A "raging, squealing cry": “Come back, you fools! Dogs aren't dangerous! Come back and fight!” This chapter contains three climactic moments, any of which would be a crowning glory for the novel: The strongest rabbit Bigwig's declaration of loyalty to his chief, weak yet wise Fiver's calm expression of sadness for the deaths of the Efrafans and the horrific fulfillment of Hazel's calm, yet deadly effective, leadership, make up a trio of truly mythic moments that are a perfect reflection of the rule of three.   The novel has truly reached its denouement. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/watershipdown/message

Julian Nott came to music relatively late. After studying Music and Politics and Economics at Oxford University, he worked for a management consultancy firm in the City for a number of  years. Finding that not entirely to his liking, he enrolled in the UK's National Film And Television School, funding his studies by simultaneously working freelance for the Economist Publications. After film school, Julian worked as an independent documentary film producer, making films for Channel Four Television, Arte Channel and WGBH Boston. Along the way he qualified as a (non-practising) barrister. At film school, Julian met the animator Nick Park, writing the music for his early Wallace and Gromit films.

Prendendo spunto da una serie TV di successo approdata in questi mesi al cinema, Laura vi porta a conoscere un costume drama di qualche anno fa: Lark Rise to CandlefordTesto: https://bit.ly/3ntTNwT

In this episode we chat to Actress Olivia Hallinan (Sugar Rush, Lark Rise to Candleford) about the ups and downs of being a child actor and how she navigated her way into a sustainable acting career as an adult.

Welcome to episode 7, the year in review and the year ahead. I like to think of it as the best of 2018. But since we only started on November 28th, it’s also the ALL of 2018. By way of a brief review, and for any first-time listeners, this podcasts is all about relationships. Experience and observation have taught me that relationships are one of the most rewarding aspects of life, and at the same time, one of the most frustrating. The goal of this podcast is to help people experience more of the rewards of relationships, and less of the frustrations. Like many others, I firmly believe we are all made for relationships. We’re not meant to live life alone. That’s how the name of the podcast came to be, Your Were Made for This. The “this” we were made for is fulfilling, life-giving relationships. It’s just the opposite of a what a recent Wall Street Journal article describes about baby boomers being the most isolated generation of all. I’ll have a link to the article at the end of the show notes. It’s entitled, “The Loneliest Generation: Americans, More Than Ever, Are Aging Alone.” When you read the stories of people, and how they’re living alone, well it’s really quite sad. The purpose of this podcast is to somehow, in some small measure, stem the tide of loneliness by contributing something to help people transform their relationships into the best they can be. The podcast is to be something that actually helps people, rather just another outlet for creative expression. This podcast is to be about YOU, not me. Whether we’ve succeeded at this in the first 4 weeks of the show is up to you the listener to decide. But that’s my goal. Another goal of the podcast is that it become a means of community for people who would like to to be encouraged by stories of others who are making progress in transforming their relationships into the best they can be. I’m not exactly sure how that’s going to work. Maybe it will be a Facebook group later, I don’t know. We’ll see. Toward this goal, and for this last podcast of 2018, I want to share today selected responses I’ve received from listeners regarding the podcasts aired so far. I’ve received a fair number of emails and comments from people saying they like what they’re hearing so far. I’ve also received some feedback from folks with suggestions for ways to improve the podcast, which I’ve appreciated. In today’s program I want to share responses of people who actually changed as a result of what they heard in one or more of the six episodes aired this year. Changed either their behavior, or the way they think. I plan to do something like this every now and then to foster a sense of community. As well as to encourage you in transforming YOUR relationships into the best they can be. So I would appreciate hearing from YOU with stories YOU have of applying what you’ve learned on this podcast. You can either leave comments in the box below in the show notes, send an email to john@caringforothers.org, or direct message me in Facebook. Okay, on to the listener responses. In the very first episode, I mentioned that I plan to share relationship principles and skills through stories, both my own, and from guests I interview. The older I get, the more I appreciate what a powerful learning tool stories can be. One story I shared at the end of episode one was the story of when I was 15 and a neighbor boy, we affectionately called Bozo, was killed. I mentioned the scene of watching my dad walking down the middle of our street, with his arms over the shoulder of the father of whose son had just died hours before. The picture of that scene is still vivid in my memory, and it was something that helped me see my relationship with my father in a new light, and to forgive him for how he treated me. After hearing this story in episode one, one listener wrote to tell me, “My husband and I listened to your 1st podcast. We were really gripped by the story of your dad and the death of Bozo. We talked about it and this morning called a friend who just this week lost his wife. Thanks, John. You are making a difference.” I can’t tell you how much that encouraged me, to know someone took action, and actually did something to care for a hurting friend. It reminded me of a phrase I use often, and which you’ll hear on this podcast from time to time. And that is, when we try to bring out the best in others, we bring out the best in ourselves. These 2 listeners trying to bring out the best that was in their grieving friend. I don’t know what they said to him, but I know this couple and they have a heart to help people. For the grieving husband to know someone cares enough to make a phone call to him has got to help deal with his sorrow. ___________________________________ In responding to Episode 2, “The Gift of a Background Relationship,” a listener from Pennsylvania wrote: “I loved the story about the relationship you have with your mother-in-law…in your podcast you ask each to think about someone in their lives like this [ This was in reference to the end of the movie about Mr. Rogers, Won’t You Be my Neighbor. The film showed co-workers of Mr. Rogers tearing up as they re-called people from their past who believed in them; who nurtured them.] "It came to mind yesterday morning shortly after I got a doe on the last day of the PA deer season. I reflected on my father, a man of few words, but his actions spoke deep love. Until yesterday, I had not shed one tear over my father’s passing 9 years ago. But, up on the mountain, as I looked over the valley…, I thought of dad and how much I miss him. He would have loved the moment of hearing that I got a deer and he would have loved butchering it. It was how we connected. It was an emotional moment, a precious moment. I never felt I needed to shed a tear over dad’s death because all was good when God took him home. So those very few tears yesterday morning were ones of thankfulness and appreciation for God’s gift of my father to me.” Man, that encouraged my heart to know the story of my relationship with my mother-in-law triggered something within this listener to reflect with appreciation on his relationship with his father. And to shed a few tears of gratitude for him. ___________________________________ Another response to episode 2 comes for a missionary serving in the Mideast. This person writes: “I must say just as you were encouraged by seeing the kindness in Janet's singing with her mother, so I have always been positively affected by any time I have had with you.  Listening to your family's Life Achievement Award list, or your caring for a trying dog, or your lovely memories of your mother-in-law had me laughing uncontrollably one moment and then soberly contemplating the truth that was being shared.  How grateful I am for you, for your willingness to open your life so we, the listeners, can be trained in loving each other more fully.  Thank you for including me in the privileged group that gets to listen!” I think the more we open up our lives to each other, the greater the chance for a deeper relationship we can have with each other. We can learn to love well when we have the heart and take the time to watch how others love. We’re all teachers, for good or ill, because people are watching. More than we realize. ___________________________________ Episode 3, “The Gift for the Person who has Everything,” drew this response from a listener: “I liked episode 3. I’m going to incorporate a ‘lifetime achievement award’ for my husband’s 60th birthday. I also subscribed to your podcast.” This is great to hear. Something very practical this woman can do to honor her husband. It’s action she can take. Taking action, the right action, can be very helpful in transforming a good relationship already into the best relationship it can be. I plan to share more of these relationship tips, or hacks, as they’re now called, moving into 2019. There are specific relationship skills we’ll be examining and practicing in the months ahead. ___________________________________ Episode 4, “The Gift of Even Though,” evoked this response from a listener: “Your podcast about joy and how sharing in others’ joy, multiples joy - it’s not a zero sum game. This really resonated with me! My husband and I have been able to have kids easily and when we are around friends who struggle with infertility, I feel guilty sharing the joys of my children. It was so beautiful to hear how your friends [Vern and Lorraine] had many “children” without having their own.” I take this to mean, there was a change in thinking in how she viewed sharing the joy of her children with childless friends. By not sharing your joy, you may be depriving them of their joy. That joy, like love, is an unlimited natural resources that never depletes. In fact, the more you share in the joys of others, the more joy multiplies itself. It seems this perspective helps in easing any guilt feelings. After all, what is the listener guilty of? Being blessed with children. I can understand there are times when we share our joy it is met with a “must be nice” response. That is painful, for sure. There’s that verse in the Bible about “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” That’s a command to be joyful over the joy of others, not a suggestion. For many of us that’s harder to do than to mourn with people, than to feel their pain. ___________________________________ Another listener, this one a missionary serving in Eastern Europe, wrote: "I'm so glad you’d decided to do a podcast! I’ve listened to all of them so far and look forward to listening further. Glad I could be your connection in this part of the world! "Over the past few years, I’ve found myself being placed in more ministry leadership-type positions. As my responsibilities have increased, and (potential) impact expanded, I’ve noticed that my limitations in relationships have restricted some of my potential influence. Plus, of course, I totally agree we are made for community, so this affects my own well being too. But, praise God I am a work in progress, can by his grace grow, and can learn from others, like yourself!” What a great attitude, and such self-awareness! One relationship that gets less attention than it deserves is our relationship with our self. Self-awareness is such an important leadership trait. Without it, we suffer the consequences of exceeding our limitations, alienating people at times, and hindering the achievement of our organization’s goals. We’ll be talking about self-awareness in future episodes of You Were Made for This. ___________________________________ Finally, another listener wrote, “Hi John, I just wanted to let you know how much the last two podcasts specific to joy meant to me. It made so much sense to me and gave Jesus/Others/You so much more meaning and depth. I think with the last two especially you are finding your zone.” ___________________________________ All of this leads us to the main take-away from today’s episode, our show in a sentence Listening well to the relationships stories of others can teach us much to help transform our relationships into the best they can be Response (Call to Action) to today’s show You can encourage others by sharing stories here on this podcast of what you’re doing to help transform your relationships into the best they can be. It can be an action, or even a different way of thinking about your relationship. You can either leave comments in the box below in the show notes, send an email to john@caringforothers.org, or direct message me in Facebook. Your identity will be kept confidential. Coming up next week…and next year Next week’s episode the first of 2019, will feature our very first interview. The first of many to come in the new year. It’s a wonderful story of what a wife and her daughter did to care well for their husband/father. It’s a memorable and tender relationship story that I’m sure will find encouraging.

Hey Gang!! This is a special themed episode of Sprinklez! It's the PERIOD PIECE show!! This episode is a Victorian/Edwardian bonanza, starting off with my recommendation of the delightfully charming 2007 British series: CRANFORD (Amazon Prime) starring Dame Judi Dench, Julia McKenzie, Julia Sawalha, Michael Gambon, Imelda Staunton, Jim Carter and scores of other amazing actors/actresses. Then I fill you in on PBS's 2002 amazing and enthrallingly educational series MANOR HOUSE (Amazone Prime) which is full of Downton Abby type period drama with a reality show twist. A group of regular people live in a 1906 Manor House for three months living out the roles of either a privileged family or their dutiful servants. It s an Edwardian social experiment gone awry! Fabulous, fascinating and fun. I conclude the episode with a 117 year old Tasty-Treat-Sensation: Hershey's Chocolate Candy Bar! It is still a delectable treat when combined with graham crackers and marshmallows in the form of a s'more!!! Enjoy! Tangent recommendation: Lark Rise to Candleford, 2008 (Amazon Prime, Hulu)
