Hello to you listening in Fremont, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.In college I was taught by lay faculty and Benedictine monks.  Today I follow Joan Chittister, an American Benedictine nun, theologian, author, and speaker who is known for being an outspoken advocate of justice, peace and equality focusing on the empowerment of women.In her book, The Monastic Heart - 50 Simple Practices for a Contemplative and Fulfilling Life, Chittister writes, “A spirituality of work is that process by which you finally come to know that your work is God's work, unfinished by God because God meant it to be finished by you.” I say my work is "helping women shape and share their story by discovering: Who am I? What's my why or work? How do I do my work differently?"But the notion of “spirituality of work” puts a different spin on things. Is this truly my work? If so, how is it meant to be finished by me?Story Prompt: What's your work and how will you finish it? Write that story! And tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

I was in London today and paid the new flagship Space NK another visit.There are a good few brand that talk a good talk but don't necessarily offer value for money BUT there are also some absolute gems.In this episode I'll talk you through the products that I rate and love.

In this episode, I share the subconscious cost of being bothered, emphasizing how replaying past conversations and experiences can drain our energy and hinder our ability to focus on future goals. Our subconscious mind does not differentiate between past and present; it reacts to our thoughts as if they are current realities. This can lead to a cycle of negativity that keeps us stuck in the past, preventing us from moving forward. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to recognize the high price of being bothered—both in terms of mental bandwidth and emotional energy. I provide an example of this, comparing it to an overdraft in a bank account, where we continually pay for experiences that no longer serve us. Instead, I advocate for a shift in perspective: rather than replaying what went wrong, we should focus on what we can learn from those experiences and how we can grow.

pWotD Episode 3067: Claudia Cardinale Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 225,773 views on Wednesday, 24 September 2025 our article of the day is Claudia Cardinale.Claude Joséphine Rose "Claudia" Cardinale (Italian: [ˈklaudja kardiˈnaːle]; 15 April 1938 – 23 September 2025) was an Italian actress.Born and raised in La Goulette, a neighbourhood of Tunis, Cardinale won the "Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia" competition in 1957, the prize being a trip to Italy, which quickly led to film contracts, due above all to the involvement of producer Franco Cristaldi, who acted as her mentor for a number of years and later married her. After making her debut in a minor role with Egyptian star Omar Sharif in Goha (1958), Cardinale became one of the best-known actresses in Italy, with roles in films such as Rocco and His Brothers (1960), Girl with a Suitcase (1961), Cartouche (1962), The Leopard (1963) and Federico Fellini's 8½ (1963).From 1963, Cardinale appeared in The Pink Panther opposite David Niven. She went on to appear in the Hollywood films Blindfold (1966), Lost Command (1966), The Professionals (1966), Don't Make Waves (1967) with Tony Curtis, The Hell with Heroes (1968), The Red Tent (1969), A Fine Pair (1968), The Salamander (1981), and the Sergio Leone Western Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), a joint U. S.–Italian production, in which she was praised for her role as a former prostitute opposite Jason Robards, Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda.Jaded with Hollywood and not wanting to become a cliché, Cardinale returned to Italian and French cinema and garnered the David di Donatello for Best Actress award for her roles in The Day of the Owl (1968) and as a prostitute alongside Alberto Sordi in A Girl in Australia (1971). In 1974, Cardinale met director Pasquale Squitieri, who would become her partner and she frequently featured in his films, including Blood Brothers (1974), Father of the Godfathers (1978) and Claretta (1984), the last of which won her the Nastro d'Argento Award for Best Actress. In 1982, she starred in Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo as the love interest of Klaus Kinski, who raises the funds to buy a steamship in Peru. In 2010, Cardinale received the Best Actress Award at the 47th Antalya "Golden Orange" International Film Festival for her performance as an elderly Italian woman who takes in a young Turkish exchange student in Signora Enrica.Outspoken on women's rights causes over the years, Cardinale was a UNESCO goodwill ambassador for the Defence of Women's Rights beginning in March 2000. In February 2011, the Los Angeles Times Magazine named Cardinale among the 50 most beautiful women in film history.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:27 UTC on Thursday, 25 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Claudia Cardinale on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Jasmine.

What do you do when speaking the truth could cost you everything?For the early church, persecution wasn't theory—it was reality. Threats, jail, even death couldn't silence them. Instead, their prayers shook the ground, their voices grew louder, and the gospel spread like fire.Today, we face the same question: when the world rages against biblical truth, will we shrink back in fear—or rise up with boldness?In this video, we dive into Acts 4, where the apostles stood trial for preaching Christ and responded with unshakable courage. You'll see how God turned threats into testimony, fear into faith, and persecution into power.If you've ever wondered:Is it safe to be outspoken about my faith today?How do I respond when Christianity is under attack?What gives believers boldness when the world turns hostile?…this message will show you the answer from Scripture and history.The blood of the martyrs is still the seed of the church. And the same Spirit that filled the apostles with courage can fill you today.

Peter is popular, and we love him. Why? We can relate to him, we resonate with his failings, we love a comeback story, and who doesn't love an outspoken friend! Peter was undoubtedly outspoken. He often asked the question everyone was thinking but was afraid to voice. Sometimes this made him the hero, and sometimes it got him in trouble. Either way, there is a lesson to be learned. This weekend, we looked at Peter's most outspoken moment and found inspiration as we hear him ask the same questions we're all asking.   First time listening to our podcast?

In today's episode of the Center for Baptist Leadership podcast, William Wolfe sits down with Robert Burns, Mayor of Monroe in North Carolina, to discuss political persecution for being an outspoken Christian leader.   Robert Burns is the Mayor of Monroe, North Carolina, elected in November 2023 after a historic coin-toss victory following a tied election with 970 votes. A Christian, husband, and father of six, Burns is a conservative Republican known for his outspoken leadership and commitment to economic growth, public safety, and family values. He has focused on revitalizing downtown Monroe, expanding infrastructure, and attracting new industries. Burns, a newcomer to politics, emphasizes transparency and community engagement, often using social media and his YouTube channel to connect with residents. His tenure has faced controversy, including a 2024 censure by the Monroe City Council over a proclamation celebrating the Roe v. Wade reversal and a 2025 no-confidence vote for his communication style and use of city branding. Despite this, Burns remains committed to making Monroe a thriving, family-friendly city.   Learn more about Robert Burns's work: https://x.com/RobertBurns82 https://www.monroenc.org/directory.aspx?eid=153   ––––––   Follow Center for Baptist Leadership across Social Media: X / Twitter – https://twitter.com/BaptistLeaders Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/people/Center-For-Baptist-Leadership/61556762144277/ Rumble – https://rumble.com/c/c-6157089 YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@CenterforBaptistLeadership Website – https://centerforbaptistleadership.org/   To book William for media appearances or speaking engagements, please contact him at media@centerfor­baptistleadership.org.   Follow Us on Twitter: William Wolfe - https://twitter.com/William_E_Wolfe Richard Henry - https://twitter.com/RThenry83   Renew the SBC from within and defend the SBC from those who seek its destruction, donate today: https://centerforbaptistleadership.org/donate/   The Center for Baptist Leadership Podcast is powered by American Reformer, recorded remotely in the United States by William Wolfe, and edited by Jared Cummings.   Subscribe to the Center for Baptist Leadership Podcast: Distribute our RSS Feed – https://centerforbaptistleadership.podbean.com/ Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/center-for-baptist-leadership/id1743074575 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/0npXohTYKWYmWLsHkalF9t Amazon Music // Audible – https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9ababbdd-6c6b-4ab9-b21a-eed951e1e67b BoomPlay – https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/96624 TuneIn – Coming Soon iHeartRadio – https://iheart.com/podcast/170321203 Listen Notes – https://lnns.co/2Br0hw7p5R4 Pandora – Coming Soon PlayerFM – https://player.fm/series/3570081 Podchaser – https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-center-for-baptist-leaders-5696654 YouTube Podcasts – https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFMvfuzJKMICA7wi3CXvQxdNtA_lqDFV

Growing up in a glittering new decade of possibility, Anran is radically different to her sister. Outspoken and idealistic, she relishes in challenging hypocrisy, unlike the older Anjing, whose memories of a turbulent past remind her of the perils of going against the grain. When Anran is gifted a stylish red shirt that becomes the talk of their sleepy hometown, adolescent delight is construed by her cynical teachers as another act of defiance. As they decide the young firebrand's future, certain lessons can't be avoided. Should Anjing shield her sibling from life's hard truths, or will she let her blaze her own path? First published in China in 1984, Tie Ning's bestselling coming-of-age novella My Sister's Red Shirt (Sinoist Books, 2025), translated into English by Dr. Annelise Finegan, depicts the loss of innocence and the challenges of being true to yourself in an era of unpredictable transformation. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
