“Good fences make good neighbors” is a line from Robert Frost's Mending Wall, but the poem goes on to say, “Before I built a wall I'd ask to know / What I was walling in or walling out” So often in our lives we feel the unrest of chaos or dysfunction in our relationships, but we don't know exactly what we need to wall out or wall in. My guest this week, Lysa TerKeurst faced a new season of life and wanted to enter it with wisdom and strength - caring for others and herself in each of her relationships.

Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48948509Ephesians 2 gives us a soaring vision of the church as a new family. Something surprising the Triune God is building for his glory and for all eternity. Something also rather messy, yet amazingly and beautifully diverse. Jesus calls us to a different way of seeing one another as a family but also seeing ourselves differently. Not one with a posture of superiority, but one of centered humility. We are a family. In grace, Christ not only reconciles us, breaks down the dividing walls, but also gives us a new identity. We the church are fellow citizens of a kingdom with all the privileges, loyalties, and responsibilities of that kingdom. We the church have a new king and we have been given a kingdom agenda.22.09.11
One of the earliest poems I remember hearing, that fundamentally stuck in my brain, it would have been 7th grade, is Robert Frost's “Mending Wall”. Two phrases that are cleated in my brain are: “Something there is that doesn't love a wall” and “Good fences make good neighbors”. I have included in the show notes a YouTube link to an actual recording of Frost himself reciting his poem. It's fascinating to hear. Frost makes the powerful statement- “Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in and what I was walling out?” What about walls? Where do you end up as a person if there are no walls? Are ALL walls bad? The human spirit longs for freedom to soar and become, but how is that possible from the vantage point of fallen man, who transgressed that first wall of God mandated prohibition, only to land outside the wall in ruin and eternal damnation? There IS a spiritual wall that comes from God, that both protects, restricts, AND at the same time provides ultimate freedom and liberation. In this episode we will discuss how we arrived at our present state collapse in our society and how we get back to a place of peace, prosperity, and meaningful community.

So its not a Bible verse..."Good fences make good neighbors," actually comes from the poem "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost. The sentiment is found in many cultures and the concept is extremely important if one aims to live with both freedom and purpose.Successful people have found a way to create healthy boundaries in life. Boundaries around what you are going to spend your life doing and what you are not going to do. How do you decide what you are going to give your life or time to? Gisele shares her verbal Venn diagram, What you are great at, what you love doing and what you profitable. (how ever you define profit)Andy shares his ADD version of that same concept.Fences tell us what is our responsibility and what is not. Andy talks about ending the radio show that he has done for the last 15 years. The point is sometime you have to stop doing old things to make room for new things and opportunities in order to continue growing.Please let us know if you are enjoying this podcast and ask us any question you like.To learn more about what Andy does and more of his content go to:AndyKerrCoaching.comFacebook: @andykerrcoachingPurchase Andy's Book A Story and A PointTo find more awesome content from Gisele, visit:Honest.CEOFacebook: @HonestCEOvlogInstagram: @HonestCEOvlog

In a poem that directly addresses Robert Frost's “Mending Wall,” Darrel Alejandro Holnes asks questions: who gets to build walls, or guard borders?. Do good fences really make good neighbors? Taking a poem that's been part of an American imagination both of poetry and of citizenship, Darrel offers a critique that places contemporary migrant experiences at the center, challenging contemporary ideas of territory, conquest, and expansion.Darrel Alejandro Holnes is the author of Stepmotherland & Migrant Psalms. Holnes is an Afro-Panamanian American writer, performer, and educator. His writing has been published in English, Spanish, and French in literary journals, anthologies, and other books worldwide and online. He also writes for the stage. Most of his writing centers on love, family, race, immigration, and joy. He works as a college professor in New York City, NY.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.

Enjoy another delightful episode full of classic Napa Valley crime and even better wine.
This episode contains Valerie A. Smith's reading of "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost.
Before I built a wall, I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out And to whom I was like to give offence. Robert Frost, Mending Wall, 1914 Here is a deep truth, that walls are built to keep some things in and some things out, but how does one tell the difference? And who are we offending by building walls between us and them? A professor in university once told me that the SET APART for CONNECTION (AUDIO)best way to look at Old Testament law was like this: “The law provides a wall, one which you can see over. But on the inside there is freedom. Freedom within a fence.” For the people of Israel, the law was a boundary marker. Across this you are not to go, but this law actually was a line over which no Gentile could cross. Circumcision was for Jews a testament and promise for them as people set apart for God's holiness. Amazingly, though, when Paul writes to the Ephesians, as Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians were often in hostility towards each other he says, ‘For he is our peace who made both groups one and tore down the dividing wall of hostility in the flesh, he made of no effect the law… so that he might create in himself one new body from the two.' When the dividing wall of hostility, those who followed the law for reasons of righteousness and those who did not, was torn down, peace was created. And the new body of people, Christ's body as the Church, can now do what it was designed to do: to be ambassadors for Christ's peace. We are set apart for a purpose, every member of Christianity, to make connections in the community and beyond. How do you see yourself as part of this? As you approach worship this week, whether in person or online, read Ephesians 2:11-22. Pr Reid Matthias

In this episode, Jill talks to Matt Revelette, Winemaker at Siduri Wines. Originally from Kentucky, Matt fell in love with wine by working in vineyards during his summers as a college student. He found the process of winemaking the perfect marriage of art, science and pleasure.

His extensive experience includes some of the greats in the wine industry: Sojourn Cellars, Williams Selyem, Kosta Browne, Quintessa, and Mending Wall (where Schrader, Maybach and Pulido Walker – amongst others were made by Thomas Rivers Brown). When he is not busy in the vineyards or in the cellar, he enjoys live music, hiking, watersports, traveling and cooking. Matt resides in the Russian River Valley.

This week, the Three Wisemen of Divorce discuss the Robert Frost poem, "Mending Wall," and apply an interpretation to a divorce. Frost writes, "Good fences make good neighbors." What kinds of boundaries are important in your divorce? What sort of "fences" and "walls" are important to maintain when dealing with separation, child custody, visitation, division of finances, alimony or child support? Sit down with a nice cup of tea, and let's talk about it.Presented by Financial Divorce Consultant Mark Hill, CFP®, CDFA®, Psychologist Scott Weiner, Ph.D., J.D. and Attorney and Mediator Shawn Weber, CLS-F.

Fences can be very important, but this line from Robert Frost's poem, The Mending Wall, is often misunderstood and misses deeper wisdom. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/david-ellingson/message
A stone wall separates the speaker’s property from his neighbor’s. In spring, the two meet to walk the wall and jointly make repairs. The speaker sees no reason for the wall to be kept—there are no cows to be contained, just apple and pine trees. He does not believe in walls for the sake of walls. The neighbor resorts to an old adage: “Good fences make good neighbors.” The speaker remains unconvinced and mischievously presses the neighbor to look beyond the old-fashioned folly of such reasoning. His neighbor will not be swayed. The speaker envisions his neighbor as a holdover from a justifiably outmoded era, a living example of a dark-age mentality. But the neighbor simply repeats the adage. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hmphaudiobooks/support

You probably haven't heard a better episode of the podcast in all of your 127 years! YOU DON’T KNOW MOJACK is a podcast dedicated to exploring the entire SST catalogue, in order, from start to finish. During the podcast we will discuss all the releases that are part of our core DNA, as well as many lesser-known releases that deserve a second chance, or releases that we are discovering for the very first time (we actually don’t know Mojack!). First and foremost we are fans, and acknowledge that we are not perfect and don’t know everything – sometimes the discussion is more about a time, place, feeling, personal experience or random tangents, and less about the facts (but we will try to get to the facts too).

As a " Human Wall" is being built in Sunland, NM by supporters of President Donald Trump; Cameron A. Sharpe delivers you yet another 10 for 10. This time using one of his favorite poems as a device to help both sides communicate their view points. " Good fences make good neighbors" sounds a lot like " Make America Great Again " after listening to episode 45 of this series. Check it out and comment on our:Facebook (The Unbiased Truth)Instagram (@theunbiasedtruth)G-Mail (unbiasedtruth3@gmail.com)This episode is dedicated to the poem " Mending Wall" by Robert Frost
Robert Frost and Donald Trump would have been great friends. They have so much in common: They were both born in big American cities, both have wide appeal in rural America and both speak with poetic fervor about walls. “I will build a great wall — and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me… I will build a great, great wall on our southern border…mark my words,” said President Trump. Indeed, Robert Frost, too, has marked some words about walls in his poem, Mending Wall, which tells the story of two neighbors fixing the gaps in the walls which separate their property.Trump and Frost are truly kindred spirits, for both also have a love of proverbs. Many of Frost's' phrases have made it into the American vernacular, and Trump is more than happy to use the phrases passed down to him. In his love poem about walls, Frost coined the saying: “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors;” recently Trump eloquently quoted his father's saying: “a nation without borders is not a nation.” Indeed, Mr. Trump and Mr. Frost must be soulmates.Unlike Frost, the President will not merely speak of building a wall; he'll do it. “Mark my words,” he states. Don't discount words too fast, however. There's power in words as there's power in building walls. In Frost's' realm, he waxes poetical on the beauty of walls: “Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, and spills the upper boulders in the sun; and makes gaps even two can pass abreast.”Who doesn't love a wall? That makes boulders spill like milk in the sun, and that pushes the earth beneath like two barefooted lovers walking on damp grass. The very existence of a wall stresses our togetherness. Take a moment to picture two people walking in an open field. One wanders over here by the thrush and another over there by a boulder; this separation is not possible when they approach a wall. They must find the gap and then “two can pass abreast.”Despite criticisms of President Trump, his intentions are pure. “We are going to stabilize on both sides of the border and we also understand that a strong and healthy economy in Mexico is very good for the United States,” he said upon his Presidential announcement to build a wall. “Today, America get's back control of its borders.” Indeed!Frost would nod gravely in agreement. “The work of hunters is another thing,” he would add. Referring to the heartache of mending his wall season after season, due to jackals and beasts of all sorts, he says “I have come after them and made repair where they would have the rabbit out of hiding to please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean, no one has seen them made or heard them made, but at spring mending time we find them there.” As Trump emphasizes many times, the days of cartels “wreaking havoc in our country is over. We are going to get them out and we are going to get them out fast.” How poetic, indeed!Again Robby Frost would nod sagely and add to his buddy's assessment. Walls also bring neighbors together. Trump's wall, after all, will need repairing from time to time. And so our two nations must come together every spring mending time to repair it. When these gaps are found, perhaps the nation to our south will act as Frost does: “I let my neighbor know beyond the hill; and on a day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us as we go.” Trump, in fact, may not be willing to go so far as his friend Frost here. For, to Frost, this mending of the walls is a “kind of a game” played by neighbors. Oh isn't that fun? Indeed:“To each the boulders that have fallen to each. And some are loaves and some so nearly balls we have to use a spell to make them balance: ‘Stay where you are until our backs are turned!' We wear our fingers rough with handling them

A stone wall separates the speaker’s property from his neighbor’s. In spring, the two meet to walk the wall and jointly make repairs. The speaker sees no reason for the wall to be kept—there are no cows to be contained, just apple and pine trees. He does not believe in walls for the sake of walls. The neighbor resorts to an old adage: “Good fences make good neighbors.” The speaker remains unconvinced and mischievously presses the neighbor to look beyond the old-fashioned folly of such reasoning. His neighbor will not be swayed. The speaker envisions his neighbor as a holdover from a justifiably outmoded era, a living example of a dark-age mentality. But the neighbor simply repeats the adage. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hmphaudiobooks/support
FixerUpperMarriage.org/fences 3 Reasons to Put Up Fences in Your Marriage Proverbs 25:28, “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.” What Can a Fence Do for a Fixer Upper? A fence can clarify your property lines between yourself and your neighbor, and add beauty to a property. For example, a wrought iron or a picket fence. It can provide privacy for things like a pool, to hide an air conditioner, or just to keep out nosy neighbors. Fences are also great at protecting from unwanted people and animals. They can even keep out criminals who would take things. You could put up a fence around your garden to keep out animals. Fences could be used to keep things in like pets and children. What Can a Fence Do for your Marriage? Poet Robert Frost once wrote a poem entitled Mending Wall in which he made famous the saying,” Good fences make good neighbors.” The poem invokes a philosophical question as to why we have fences. Why don’t we share what we have with others? He was walking with his neighbor helping him mend the wall between them and he basically asks, “Why is this fence here?” I think the point is, we should let people into our lives, even though it opens up to risk. Clearly, there are some fences that we should not have. However, there are some things in your marriage that absolutely NEED fencing in. And these things are critical to your personal health and the health of your marriage 3 Reasons to Put Up Fences in Your Marriage 1. To Clarify Your Individual Responsibility So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Romans 14:12 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. II Corinthians 5:10 Marriage does not dissolve individual responsibility. Two lives becoming one, means two individual lives combine to create an incredible God-inspired union. But you are still responsible for you. You are responsible for your walk with the Lord. You are responsible for your actions and their consequences. God will hold you accountable for you! Marriage does not transfer individual responsibility. You have a responsibility to God and your spouse to fulfill your Biblical role in marriage. (See Ephesians 5:21-33) God has made the standard for husbands and wives. You are responsible for you. And generally speaking your accountability ends with you. (The fence) For example, I am responsible as a husband for being the spiritual leader in my home, but I am not responsible for my wife’s walk with the Lord. I can help her, but not make her. You are not responsible for the behavior of your spouse, but you are responsible for yours. For example, if your spouse flies into a fit of rage, you don’t have to do the same thing. Don’t enable your spouse by taking those consequences for them. The following are some verbal examples for following ...

Rule 10: Be Precise in Your Speech. Here are just a few of the topics we will be covering on this episode about poetry, language, perception, philosophy and anthropology. *Robert Frost and Jordan Peterson's differing view on meaning *Frost's Mending Wall poem *A conundrum from Germany circa 1939 *The lost Jiukiukwe Indian tribe near the Orinoco *The basic nature of language *The Second Coming poem by William Butler Yeats *What we can learn about precision and clarity from Francis Bacon and Benjamin Franklin It's an intellectual exploration deep into the headwaters of Peterson's "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos."
Mending Wall by Robert Frost and my newest "grappling" with Jordan Peterson's 4th rule for life. Also I refer to my latest podcast episode of Jordan Peterson's fourth rule of life: "Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today." Can be found here

Why Jordan Peterson is dangerous. On this fourth installment of my grapplings with Peterson I explore Peterson's rule "Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not who someone else is today." For the first time I express some serious disagreements with Peterson, though I definitely agree with much of his underlying reasoning for the rule. After giving an overview of his method for expressing the underlying reasoning for this rule, I dive into where we diverge. I'll give you a hint: It has to do with the character Raskolnikov in the book Crime and Punishment. The poem I chose was "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost, as I believe there is much mending to do with Peterson's view here.

Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone, But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean, No one has seen them made or heard them made, But at spring mending-time we find them there. I let my neighbour know beyond the hill; And on a day we meet to walk the line And set the wall between us once again. We keep the wall between us as we go. To each the boulders that have fallen to each. And some are loaves and some so nearly balls We have to use a spell to make them balance: "Stay where you are until our backs are turned!" We wear our fingers rough with handling them. Oh, just another kind of out-door game, One on a side. It comes to little more: There where it is we do not need the wall: He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours." Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder If I could put a notion in his head: "Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it Where there are cows? But here there are no cows. Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offence. Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That wants it down." I could say "Elves" to him, But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather He said it for himself. I see him there Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed. He moves in darkness as it seems to me, Not of woods only and the shade of trees. He will not go behind his father's saying, And he likes having thought of it so well He says again, "Good fences make good neighbours."
Alex Ciccolo — a 24-year-old who was arrested two years ago in Adams, Massachusetts on charges of attempting domestic terrorism — is back in the news. His mother spoke with our reporter Jill Kaufman. Later in the show, we take a look inside the world of eel trafficking in Maine, and learn about an effort on Martha’s Vineyard to help small fishermen get a foothold. Plus, we discover the surprising origins of a body pulled in by a fishing boat off the coast of Cape Cod, and explore our region’s ambiguous relationship with inclusivity through the arts. On the fishing boat Diversion, Marvin Benitez dumps a pail full of crabs into a bin for preparation for sale to seafood retailers and restaurants on Martha’s Vineyard. Government-issued permits for fishing rights can be expensive, but nonprofit permit banks are leasing them to small fishermen at lower rates. Photo by Jesse Costa for WBUR In Despair, and Angry Shelley MacInnes holds pictures of her son, Alex Ciccolo, who faces domestic terrorism charges. Photo by Jill Kaufman for NEPR Alex Ciccolo, 24, of Adams, Massachusetts, has been in federal custody since July 4, 2015. He’s charged with attempting to commit domestic terrorism. Ciccolo’s father is a Boston police captain, and was among the first responders at the 2013 marathon bombings. He was the one who tipped off federal officials his son was becoming “obsessed” with ISIS. That led to an FBI sting, where Ciccolo described to a government informant his plans to explode pressure cooker bombs in a crowded place. After Ciccolo’s arrest, his father made a single statement to the public. His mother, Shelley MacInnes, has kept an even lower profile, until recently. New England Public Radio’s Jill Kaufman reports. Below, Alex Ciccolo is interviewed by the FBI hours after his 2015 arrest. Reporter Trevor Aaronson of The Intercept has been investigating the connections between domestic terrorism charges that have led to 800 arrests since 9-11. He told Jill Kaufman how Alex Ciccolo fits into the mix. Hauling It In Dutcher’s Dock in Menemsha, Martha’s Vineyard. Photo by Jesse Costa for WBUR The Massachusetts fishing industry in recent years has taken a beating. Stiff regulations and expensive fishing permits are making it difficult for small fishermen to stay above water. A nonprofit in Martha’s Vineyard now wants to help by acquiring fishing permits, and leasing them at subsidized rates to emerging fishermen. WBUR’s Simon Rios reports. What's slippery, see-through, and goes for $1,300 a pound? Listeners in coastal Maine probably know the answer. Our guest Rene Ebersole is a contributing writer for National Geographic and a reporter for the Food and Environment Reporting Network. Her recent article: “Inside the Multi-Million Dollar World of Eel Trafficking.” Glass eels are American eels in their juvenile phase. The price per pound of these animals jumped from $99.94 in 2009 to $891.49 in 2011. In 2012, it went over $1,800.

He uses a green headlamp because white light spooks the fish. “You don't need to see them to catch them,” he says. “But I like to watch.” Photo by Sarah Rice for National Geographic The little eels are destined for aquaculture farms in Asia, where they’re later harvested for sushi. The demand for American eels skyrocketed earlier this decade, because the European Union banned eel exports in 2010. European and Asian eels are considered superior to American. The 2011 tsunami, which damaged Japan’s fishery, also had an impact. Eels transform from leaf-shaped larvae into two-inch elongated juveniles with haunting eyes and a visible spine just before they swim from the ocean up freshwater rivers. Photo by Sarah Rice for National Geographic These days, if you're in the eel-catching business, Maine is the place to be. Fishing for American eels is illegal in every other East Coast state, except for South Carolina and Florida, where fisheries are small. High prices have led to poaching. In March, two Maine fishermen, Bill Sheldon and Timothy Lewis, were indicted for illegally trafficking wildlife. Sheldon could face a maximum of 35 years in prison.

Photo by Andy Short Whether you're catching eel swimming upstream or haddock in the Atlantic, the work of fishing can get monotonous. On an early December morning, that routine was upended for the crew of the Hera, a commercial groundfishing boat from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Andy Short has the tale. Craving more fishy news? Listen to our own Episode 35: Outfished. You’ll learn about Carlos Rafael, a.k.a. “the Codfather” — the New Bedford fishing magnate who in March plead guilty to 28 counts of fraud. (On a side note, Rafael just happens to be the owner of the Hera). Making Good Neighbors Juan De La Cruz comforts his youngest daughter, Isabella, at their home in Vergennes, Vermont. Photo by Kathleen Masterson for VPR A Vermont father of six is facing deportation to Mexico in a case that highlights shifting federal immigration enforcement priorities. Juan De La Cruz came to the U.S. illegally over a decade ago, and later married a U.S. citizen. They formed a family and a farm business together, and Juan obtained a federal work authorization permit. But a previous deportation on his record now makes De La Cruz a target for ICE.

In a time of divisive political discourse, especially around immigration, an art show currently featured at Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art opens up a space for dialogue. The exhibit offers museum-goers a glimpse into the naturalization process and what it means to be, and to become, American. WBUR’s Shannon Dooling takes us there. Thea Alvin is a “dry mason,” meaning she builds stone walls without using mortar. Photo by Amy Noyes for VPR Of course, we know that New Englanders have, and have always had a rocky relationship with inclusivity. For instance, the famous line from Robert Frost's 1912 poem “Mending Wall” — “Good fences make good neighbors” — has been used to describe Yankee culture. But building stone walls like the one in Frost's poem has become something of a dying art. Stonemason Thea Alvin explained to Vermont Edition how she builds her walls for their series “Summer School.” About NEXT Do you have a question about New England you’d like NEXT to investigate?

Mending Wall - Duane Cory (2/19/2017) by Deer Creek Church
Robert Frost's "Mending Wall" (Analysis By Charles Clifford Brooks III) by Luke Johnson
Complete Service-First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco
Breaking Barriers: Learning to Move at the Speed of Trust When I think about barriers and boundaries, I think of Robert Frost's poem, “Mending Wall” and its famous line “ Good fences make good neighbors.” In the poem, Frost asks, “Why do they make good neighbors … Before I built a wall, I’d ask to know what I was walling in or walling out, and to whom I was like to give offense?” Boundaries serve a purpose, no doubt. But what happens when boundaries become barriers to building deeper connection and trust with others? How do we learn to trust? From infancy to old age, trust is key to our well-being, even our survival. Today’s service we’ll unpack trust and play with some of its core building blocks, finding ways to build bridges instead of barriers, and maybe mend some fences along the way. Rev.

Aired Sunday, 25 January 2015, 9:00 PM ETThe famous quote by David Frost, “Good Fences make Good Neighbors” comes from his 1914 poem entitled “Mending Wall.” In this poem the question is raised as to whether or not a fence that defines one neighbors property from another, is a good idea or not.Identifying the property line of your life, and creating and maintaining good personal boundaries is probably the healthiest thing you can possibly do for yourself, your relationships, and your life.Without good personal boundaries, it becomes difficult for others to identify what is appropriate or inappropriate for you.Some people have extreme, over-the-top personal boundaries that are as clearly defined as Mount Everest, while other people have personal boundaries that are so microscopic that they appear to be invisible.Both are examples of unhealthy boundaries. The mountain most likely represents an extreme need to protect oneself from the world and other people, while the latter example most likely represents an extreme need to be accepted and loved.Creating and maintaining healthy personal boundaries requires clarity, authenticity, and integrity, and a keen sense of identity.Exchanging extreme unhealthy boundaries for healthy personal boundaries also takes the courageous awareness to accept that your comfort level is just as important as anyone else’s, without becoming angry, arrogant or offensive.When you know how to have a strong awareness of your non-egoic identity, personal boundaries become easier to erect and maintain.Healthy boundaries allow your family, friends and other relationships to enjoy the beauty of your strengths, gifts, talents, and time without leaving you feeling taken for granted, taken advantage of, resentful and/or exhausted.Join Intuitive Life Coach Sylvia Henderson as she discusses the gift of healthy personal boundaries.About Sylvia HendersonSylvia Henderson wears many hats as an intuitive life coach, energy healer, hypnotherapist, spiritual teacher, public speaker, mom to two sons with Autism, and a stress relief expert.

Did you know I've been writing these Monday Morning Memos for 15 years now? And in all that time: 1. There's never been a Monday when I didn't send a Memo. 2. I've never repeated a Memo that had been previously sent. I'm going to break that second rule today because I think it's what you need. Last week the Wizard of Ads partners gathered for 3 days of planning and training. When Paul Boomer told me he hadn't made any progress on his book since our last meeting, I told him about the magic of the elbs. Later, as I was preparing my opening comments for the upcoming class at Wizard Academy, Checklist for Your Journey of 1,000 Miles, I realized that what the attendees would need most is the magic of the elbs. Then, when I was reading a play-by-play analysis of how America was sucked into a whirlpool of economic doubt by subprime lending, it occurred to me that nothing can reverse a whirlpool like the magic of the elbs. That sucking downward into darkness is reversed to become a fountain into the sky. “Hey Stupid,” I said to myself, “you need to resend that memo. It's been 7 years and the people who read it have mostly forgotten it. This is the magic America needs today.” So here it is, repeated from October 27, 2002: Makers of miracles have magical little helpers. Is there a miracle you'd like to make? Would you like to learn the magic of the elbs? Elbs are Exponential Little Bits, tiny but relentless changes that compound to make a miracle. The power of an elb lies not in its size, but in its daily occurrence. For an elb to work its Exponential magic, the Little Bit must happen every day… every day… every day. Every day. Funny thing… When daily progress meets with progress, it doesn't add, it multiplies. To harness the magic of Exponential Little Bits you must learn to ask yourself, “What difference have I made today?” And never go to sleep until you have done a Little Bit to move yourself closer to your goal. But you must do a Little Bit every day, no matter how tiny the thing might be. Exponential Little Bits work both ways. They can lift you up or hold you down. There is much power in the ELBs. Start with a dollar. Double it every day for just 20 days and you'll have 2,097,150 dollars. But if you diminish each day's total by just 10 percent (a Little Bit) before the next day's doubling, you'll amass only 793,564 dollars. Diminish each day's doubling by 35 percent and you'll have only 56,784 dollars – a holdback of 95.83 percent. There's a line in Robert Frost's “Mending Wall” that says, “Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that wants it down! I could say ‘Elves' to him, but it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather he said it for himself.” Is there a wall between you and your miracle? I could say how to bring it down. But I'd rather you said it for yourself. Roy H. Williams
On tonight's podcast, I discuss Graham (GHM) a stock that I recently purchased shares for my own trading account. I first read "Mending Wall" by Robrt Frost, then explain my criteria for identifying stocks starting with top percentage gainers, strong latest quarter, and longer-term results. I review these findings, discuss some valuation numbers and point out the 'point and figure' chart characteristics and why I chose to break my own rules and jump in and buy some shares.
Tonight's podcast is about VSE Corporation (VSEC) which had a big move in today's market. I also read "Mending Wall" a poem by Robert Frost (1914). I review the Morningstar.com report, the latest quarterly earnings, valuation issues, and a point and figure chart on VSEC.
