Yeshua said to him. "No one is good except One—that is God. 19 You know the commandments, ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,' do not cheat, ‘honor your father and mother.'"20 The man responded, "Teacher, all these I have kept since my youth!"21 Looking at him, Yeshua loved him and said, "One thing you lack. Go, sell as much as you have, and give to the poor; and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me." 22 But at this statement, the man became sad and went away grieving, for he had much property.23 Then looking around, Yeshua says to His disciples, "How hard it will be for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" 24 The disciples were amazed at His words. But Yeshua answers again and says to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."26 The disciples were even more astonished, saying among themselves, "Then who can be saved?"27 Looking at them, Yeshua said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God!"Credit to:https://www.pexels.com/@ann-h-45017/Ann H

In this podcast with ADHD Coach Jane Milrod, based in Princeton, NJ, we discuss the impact of the COVID-19 quarantine, social distancing and distance learning on children and adults living with ADHD. It has taken a toll and she has observed a substantial increase in her workload. Very often ADHD is associated with co-existing conditions such as Procrastination. Anxiety, OCD, and Depression. These conditions have been exacerbated by the current situation and its associated growing feeling of isolation, extra stress, and anxiety.

Her remote coaching sessions, an integral part of support for people living with ADHD, is centered on helping her clients learn practical skills and strategies that fit their unique aptitudes and personal attributes.  She helps her clients narrow the gap between their intentions and their behaviors using an approach rooted in the Neurobiology of ADHD partnered with the Science of Behavior Change.  She is a skilled listener and integrator of client needs and guide her clients to create new Operating Instructions that help them live a life in alignment with their core values and objectives.   Jane is a Phi Beta Kappa, High Honors graduate of Rutgers College with a Major in History.

Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne’s father—also a writer—in the iconic passage that gives the book its title. An essential volume for generations of writers young and old, Bird by Bird is a modern classic.

Overwhelmed by the size of the task and the short amount of time left, her dad told her brother “Just take it bird by bird buddy, bird by bird”. However big the challenge is you just have to break it down, take it bird by bird and just get through. She said that in the context of writing, no writer she knows sits down feeling enthusiastic and confident but they do it – word by word, page by page.  Anne said there’s treasure in the piles of chaos and mess, and we need to make that mess to find out who we are. She also said that nobody is reading your first draft or nobody needs to read it. So if you’re putting pressure on yourself to show your first draft (on social media / to friends or family), you’ll find it too overwhelming – keep it for yourself. On the topic of writer’s block she argues that you actually are not blocked but empty. So you need to fill yourself back up. It’s all about the process. Sit down at your desk and tackle your book, essay or anything, bird by bird. BIG IDEAS 2 (7:19) – Write to tell the truth Anne always encourages her students in writing classes to start with their childhood and write anything and everything they remember. The Christmas celebration where your Uncle got drunk, the dress that your Grandma used to wear, the smell of cooking coming through the door, everything you remember. Write it down. Anne says that you need to write as people talk. And to do this well, you need to go out and listen to people really talking. In your mind, think how you would write that conversation as narrative so it sounds like people really talking. By helping your characters create their own narrative, you find things out about your characters as you go along.  The point of good writing is to create real characters with hopes and dreams. As a writer, you need to think as a writer and constantly observe and listen – you need to write the true representation of people. Observing and listening and capturing can be anything – from a snippet of a one-sided conversation when someone walks past you whilst on the phone, or the colour of someone’s hat at the supermarket. BIG IDEA 3 (10:11) – Be weird This book is full of irreverence, neurosis, quirks, hypochondria and general human weirdness. Anne gives voice to the weird things that we all say, feel, think and do but don’t always show or tell anyone. Because if something inside you is real, someone will probably find it interesting. This book is a perfect example of writing as a person that you really are not the person that you think you should be to write a book. This is very relevant to non-fiction writing where it’s likely easy to slip into the idea of who you ‘should’ be to be a non-fiction author, rather than writing from who you are.   On Writing by Stephen King: Why boredom is the key to great writing Music: In Pulse by Assaf Ayalon via Artlist Let’s Connect LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/steph-clarke Instagram: @stephsbizbookshelf Enjoying the show?

We did get an operator’s manual for life in the Bible, but because people don’t trust what God said they struggle to work the plan. Jesus taught us everything we need to know to have life at its best; He taught us the keys of the Kingdom.

We did get an operator’s manual in the Bible, but because people don’t trust what God said, they struggle to work a plan. Jesus taught us everything we need to know to have life at its best, and He taught us the keys of the Kingdom – the operating system for a believer who intends to have the abundant life. Jesus said, “Those who hear my words and put them into practice will be the one who builds his life on the rock” (Mt. 7:24). When we apply any of the Word by walking in love, we will be in harmony with the Lord Jesus Christ. The challenge of every believer is this: do I believe Jesus the Son of God emptied Himself and became a man in every way like as me?

Anne Lamott is a progressive political activist and writer, the bestselling  author of such books as Bird by Bird, Traveling Mercies, Operating Instructions, Plan B, and her latest, Almost Everything: Notes on Hope. We're such fans of Anne Lamott that we've decided to devote an entire episode of The Upgrade to her.  We talk to Anne about almost everything, including but not limited to: how to deal with the news cycle; having compassion for our small upsets in the face of large tragedies; how help can be a form of control; comparing our insides to other people's insides; and the horrors of visiting the DMV.

Josh recounts a particularly harrowing day of deep depression, insecurity, panic, temporary loss of all desire for good things and a fear that personal growth and maturity had been forfeited. He also describes the steps taken to move forward from moments like this. These sensations may be particularly familiar to Type 4’s on the Enneagram, however the experience is certainly not limited to only 4’s. In the second half of the episode, Josh discusses the problem in comparing ourselves to others who are more "successful" than us and making assumptions that we are somehow less or more than another person, based only on accomplishments.

Glennon Doyle Melton is back on the Beautiful Writers Podcast; this time in the co-host chair with Linda Sivertsen. Fresh from her whirlwind tour for the #1 New York Times bestseller, LOVE WARRIOR, Glennon shares heart-centered updates on those dizzying details, as well as love notes on her recent divorce (yes, they're darling like that), and romantic musings on her engagement to soccer legend, Abby Wambach (simply captivating). Linda and Glennon couldn’t be more excited to interview their long-time idol (whom they’ve never met)—Anne Lamott—the much BELOVED author of the New York Times bestsellers: Help, Thanks, Wow; Small Victories; Stitches; Some Assembly Required; Grace (Eventually); Plan B; Traveling Mercies; Operating Instructions, and several novels—including Imperfect Birds and Rosie. And let’s not forget, her universally adored, how-to writing classic, Bird by Bird. Anne and Glennon have so much in common it's hard to keep up, but here’s a sneak peek list: Oprah; sobriety; motherhood; bestsellers; acts of charity; Sunday-school teaching, political activism, overall adorableness, and the not-so-enviable burden of social anxiety (unless you figure, as Linda does, that it’s sneakily behind their distinct talent for taking universal feelings and making them hilariously darkly dramatic and touching, thus earning them the adoration of the masses). Tune in as Linda and Glennon catch Anne BEFORE she embarks on tour for this, her 17th book: HALLELUJAH ANYWAY: Rediscovering Mercy. Because she hasn’t yet been asked a million questions on the topic and therefore won’t be looking for the exit routes. Because the world could sure use more mercy right about now. And because you'll soon find out what it means, where you can find it, and why it’s so radically important. Welcome!
