Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Barbara Boyle about her memoir, Pinch Me.After decades crafting commercials and campaigns for global giants like Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson, Barbara was drawn to a completely different path. Her story begins with a magical honeymoon visit to the Piedmont region of Italy, where, gazing over terracotta rooftops with morning coffee in hand, she felt an undeniable pull: "I need to live here." That feeling—equal parts recognition and revelation—set in motion a complete life transformation.With warmth and candor, Barbara shares the unexpected parallels between her advertising background and memoir writing, where economy of language proved invaluable. She brings us along as she and her husband purchase and renovate their dream home, describing with reverence how the centuries-old stones seem to whisper stories of previous generations. "This house has an anima, a soul," their builder told them—a sentiment that perfectly captures the profound connection Barbara feels to her adopted homeland.But this isn't simply a rose-colored relocation story. Just as Barbara was settling into her idyllic Italian life, a breast cancer diagnosis forced the couple to temporarily return to California for treatment. Her clear-eyed perspective on facing mortality while pursuing dreams adds remarkable depth to her narrative: "It is odd when all of your worst fears become real. It is not so bad." This resilience—facing challenges with grace while never losing sight of what matters—makes her story universally resonant.Ready to be transported to the rolling hills of Piedmont? Listen now and discover how home isn't necessarily where we begin but where our soul recognizes itself—sometimes in the most unexpected places. If you enjoy Barbara's story, please share it with others who might be dreaming of their own bold life changes.Barbara BoylePinch Me, Barbara BoyleDancing on my Own Two Feet, Jenn TodlingSpare, Prince Harry, The Duke of SussexSupport the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 406The Saint of the day is Saint Eusebius of VercelliSaint Eusebius of Vercelli’s Story Someone has said that if there had been no Arian heresy denying Christ's divinity, it would be very difficult to write the lives of many early saints. Eusebius is another of the defenders of the Church during one of its most trying periods. Born on the isle of Sardinia, he became a member of the Roman clergy, and is the first recorded bishop of Vercelli in Piedmont in northwest Italy. Eusebius was also the first to link the monastic life with that of the clergy, establishing a community of his diocesan clergy on the principle that the best way to sanctify his people was to have them see a clergy formed in solid virtue and living in community. He was sent by Pope Liberius to persuade the emperor to call a council to settle Catholic-Arian troubles. When it was called at Milan, Eusebius went reluctantly, sensing that the Arian block would have its way, although the Catholics were more numerous. He refused to go along with the condemnation of Saint Athanasius; instead, he laid the Nicene Creed on the table and insisted that all sign it before taking up any other matter. The emperor put pressure on him, but Eusebius insisted on Athanasius' innocence and reminded the emperor that secular force should not be used to influence Church decisions. At first the emperor threatened to kill him, but later sent him into exile in Palestine. There the Arians dragged him through the streets and shut him up in a little room, releasing him only after his four-day hunger strike. They resumed their harassment shortly after. His exile continued in Asia Minor and Egypt, until the new emperor permitted him to be welcomed back to his see in Vercelli. Eusebius attended the Council of Alexandria with Athanasius and approved the leniency shown to bishops who had wavered. He also worked with Saint Hilary of Poitiers against the Arians. Eusebius died peacefully in his own diocese at what was then considered an advanced age. Reflection Catholics in the U.S. have sometimes felt penalized by an unwarranted interpretation of the principle of separation of Church and state, especially in the matter of Catholic schools. Be that as it may, the Church is happily free today from the tremendous pressure put on it after it became an “established” Church under Constantine. We are happily rid of such things as a pope asking an emperor to call a Church council, Pope John I being sent by the emperor to negotiate in the East, or the pressure of kings on papal elections. The Church cannot be a prophet if it's in someone's pocket. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Hence, this next article 5 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Infrastructure Stocks Powering the Next Wave of Innovations, should interest you. It's by Justin Pope and found on fool.com.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) The company has maintained its winning position as it progressed from its previous Hopper architecture to its current Blackwell chips, and it expects to launch its next-generation architecture, with a CPU called Vera and a GPU called Rubin, next year.

Now a few quotes from the article by the Team. “1. Ecolab (ECL) a global leader in water, hygiene, and infection prevention solutions, presents a straightforward ethical narrative. Its products and services help businesses reduce water consumption, improve hygiene standards, and prevent infections, contributing directly to public health and environmental protection… Analyst ratings remain in line with current pricing, with Wells Fargo & Company reiterating a price target of $260.00 in May 2025. With the Ecolab stock price having gained 14% since the start of the year, the company has managed to outperform the market on the period whilst holding true to it's ethical standing. While its dividend yield of approximately 1.1% is slightly higher than others on the list, its P/E ratio of around 38x indicates a similar valuation based on future earnings potential. 2. Microsoft (MSFT) presents a complex ethical profile. On one hand, its commitment to carbon neutrality, investments in renewable energy, and initiatives to bridge the digital divide are commendable… The stock's impressive 20% YTD return and a consensus analyst price target of $475 reflect market confidence in its financial stability and future growth, primarily driven by its cloud and AI segments, making it one to keep on shortlists… While Microsoft offers a modest dividend yield of around 0.7%, its high P/E ratio of approximately 36x suggests a premium valuation reflecting its growth potential rather than a focus on immediate shareholder returns. The company's low debt-to-equity ratio underscores its financial strength, allowing it to invest heavily in research and development and pursue ambitious sustainability goals. 3. United Natural Foods (UNFI) stock has pulled back ~15% this year, although remains firmly higher over the past 12 months, with a gain of more than 70%. The company, a leading distributor of natural, organic, and specialty foods, presents the most challenging investment case with the recent cyber incident causing a sharp pullback in the stock. This could in fact be an opportunity… Unlike Microsoft and Ecolab, United Natural Foods does not offer a dividend, reflecting its current financial constraints. Its low P/E ratio of around 8x suggests a deeply discounted valuation, reflecting the market's skepticism about its turnaround prospects. Recent earnings on July 16 beat expectations, however, and the stock is on the move with an 8% gain immediately off the back.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- More articles of interest from around the world for ethical and sustainable investors 1.

On the night of July 27, 2021, 40-year-old Katie Janness left her Midtown Atlanta apartment for a walk with her dog, Bowie. At around 11:30 p.m., she stopped by the restaurant where her partner was working. They spoke briefly, and Katie said she was heading home after finishing the walk. But less than two hours later, she was found brutally murdered inside Piedmont (peed-mont) Park, near the 10th Street entrance. She had been stabbed more than 50 times, mutilated, and left with letters carved into her body. There were no witnesses. No surveillance footage. And no clear motive. Four years later, Katie's case is still unsolved. And the question remains: who would do something like this and why? If you have any information in this case, please call the Atlanta Police Homicide Unit at 404-546-4235 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.

In this episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen speaks from Piedmont, Missouri, about the essential element that transforms truth into life change: application.

Karen Hamilton is a dedicated Christian, military wife, and homeschool mom of three and small business owner. ​Karen's early life was shaped by the strong faith of her parents who served for many years as Christian missionaries. The youngest of 3, Karen grew up trying to keep up with her older brothers who made sure she was tough! Karen went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Upon graduating, she began work as a Structural Engineer. Later, she married her husband, Cameron Hamilton, and moved to Virginia Beach where he served as a Navy SEAL and Combat Medic. After welcoming their first child, Karen left her career in engineering to fully devote herself to being a wife and mother. As a mother to 3 children, Karen is inspired by the wise words of President Reagan, which remind us that the preservation of our individual liberty requires intentional action and sacrifice. "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction," Reagan said. "We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same..." As the wife of a combat veteran, she understands the high cost of freedom.  Karen felt called to homeschool her children and provide the support their family needed at home while her husband was often deployed. Her husband is currently serving in the Trump Administration. Despite this, they consider themselves blessed to call the northern Piedmont region of Virginia "home" since 2016.In her spare time, Karen has enjoyed coaching, teaching and being politically active. She also leads a women's Bible study and enjoys the peace of her small farm in Orange, Virginia with her many animals!

Don Ashburn preaches 'You'll Never Walk Alone' Piedmont Community Church, Piedmont, California

Dom Flemons, aka The American Songster, is a Grammy-award winning, founding member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, as well as a solo Piedmont blues, folk, and old-time musician and historian/scholar of American music residing in Chicago, Illinois. After a reading from the memoir of a 19th-century black cowboy, we begin by hearing how folk music, with a focus on the African American contribution, transformed as it migrated with the people from the rural south to the northern cities. From there we dissect three folk instruments: the rhythm bones, stone mason jugs, and washboards with musical examples of each. Dom's early interest in history and literature led the way to his pioneering Black Cowboys Smithsonian Folkways album. He describes his research into this forgotten chapter of American history and his collecting of folk stories & cowboy poems. We come to an end on this musical episode with a haunting story about playing a song at the graves of an influential African American family band. Reading from The Life and Adventures of Nat Love by Nat Love.Check out Dom Flemon's website, follow him on Instagram @domflemons and check his upcoming tour dates. Music by Dom Flemons"Old Chisholm Trail"Written & Performed by Dom Flemons"Rabbit Foot Rag"Written & Performed by Dom Flemons"John Henry y los vaqueros"Written & Performed by Dom Flemons"Ol' Proc"Performed by Dom Flemons"Snowden's Jig (Genuine Negro Jig)"Written & Performed by Carolina Chocolate Drops"It's Cold Inside"Written & Performed by Dom FlemonsSupport Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com

Tonight's guest, Celena Garrett Dunn, used to roll her eyes at anyone she heard claim they had seen a Sasquatch. She though the idea that Sasquatch could actually be out there was ridiculous. She experienced a huge paradigm shift early one morning, however, when she went to serve court documents to a defendant who lived just outside of Piedmont, Alabama. What happened to her that morning was so profound, you could say it changed the course of her life. Now, she produces a Sasquatch-themed podcast, called Southern Belle Bigfoot, and can't get enough of the topic. We hope you'll tune in and listen to Celena break down what happened that morning.If you'd like to check out Celena's Bigfoot podcasts, called “Southern Belle Bigfoot” and “In My Opinion,” which we hope you will, please visit…https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQjizOd_UZWgdNEEq5PkYvwIf you've had a Bigfoot encounter that you'd like to share on Celena's podcast, Southern Belle Bigfoot, please send your email to…CwlenaGarrett@gmail.comYou can also contact her via her Facebook page, by going to…https://www.facebook.com/celena.hicks.9/aboutIf you've had a Bigfoot sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.If you'd like to help support the show, by buying your own Bigfoot Eyewitness t-shirt or sweatshirt, please visit the Bigfoot Eyewitness Show Store, by going to https://Dogman-Encounters.MyShopify.comI produce 4 other shows that are available on your favorite podcast app. If you haven't checked them out, here are links to all 4 channels on the Spreaker App...Dogman Tales https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dogman-tales--6640134 My Bigfoot Sighting https://www.spreaker.com/show/my-bigfoot-sighting Dogman Encounters https://www.spreaker.com/show/dogman-encounters-radio_2 My Paranormal Experience https://www.spreaker.com/show/my-paranormal-experience Thanks, as always, for listening!

“[David Joy]is a man who sees his homeplace clearly and who writes like his hand was touched by God.” — The New York Times Novelist and essayist David Joy is a tall, lean and red-bearded denizen of the hollers, mountain tops and ridges of Jackson County, North Carolina. He is an obsessive turkey, deer and squirrel hunter, a fisherman who wrote his first published book on fly fishing but who is equally at home running live baits for big flathead catfish on Piedmont rivers. He is on the very short list of great American fiction writers and essayists who hunt and fish and speak for public lands and conservation as naturally as they breathe or write. This podcast was recorded at David's cabin near Little Canada, North Carolina, after a long hike in the Pisgah National Forest to scout new hunting country, in the good company of David's little feist dog, Edie Munster. Listeners who love David's stark and hyper-realistic style of writing, and his oft-times harrowing and unsettling novels, will love when Hal and David talk writing and story after a deep dive on turkey calls and turkey hunting. More at https://david-joy.com/ and be sure to read the profile of David in the spring 2025 issue of BHA's Backcountry Journal.    --- The Podcast & Blast with Hal Herring is brought you by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and presented by Silencer Central, with additional support from Decked, Dometic, and Filson.  Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the voice for your wild public lands, waters, and wildlife to be part of a passionate community of hunter-angler-conservationists.  BHA.
