Bonnie Mead doesn't feel she has a story to tell. In fact, she could write a book. Before moving to Cold Spring in November, the 82-year-old won a demolition derby championship, worked with positive thinker Norman Vincent Peale, survived tornado alley and was shocked when, within four months, two of her neighbors in Vermont were attacked and killed - prompting her move. Mead was born in Danbury, Connecticut, and named after "Bonnie Blue," Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler's daughter in Gone with the Wind. Mead's first job was at age 13; she helped a Pawling lawyer and his wife with the office, childcare and housework. "I got 35 cents an hour," Mead said, which would be $4 today. "Boy, I thought I was rich!" Tracking her jobs and hometowns over eight decades with a reporter was a challenge. She always worked two jobs. She was a bartender, veterinarian's assistant, dispatcher, medical assistant and physician's secretary. She lived in towns and villages from Vermont to Iowa. Married twice, she declined to say much about her first husband, whom she divorced. "He spent quite a bit of time in jail," she said, with a rueful smile. In 1967, she was living in Rock Rapids, Iowa, and not working - or at least not being paid for her work, which was raising her young children while her second husband, Gary Mead, drove a long-haul truck. It was there she experienced tornado alley; one "crossed right in front of my car while I was driving," she said. Beginning in 1978, she spent 12 years as a travel agent in Pawling. She was able to take some nice trips, including to Alaska, but hated flying. It was Gary, who raced stock cars, who convinced her to try the demolition derby. "I thought he was crazy but, after a couple races, I kind of liked it," Mead recalled. She competed in derbies throughout the Northeast from 1982 to 1985, driving her "old junker" to a championship at Islip Speedway on Long Island. She kept competing even after divorcing Gary. As it happened, "his new wife was also driving in derbies," Mead said. "I crashed into her, and she broke her nose!" She swears it was not intentional. Mead lost all her derby photos and trophies in a fire 30 years ago. In the early 1980s, she was hired as a secretary for Norman Vincent Peale at his Foundation for Christian Living in Pawling. A Protestant minister, Peale wrote The Power of Positive Thinking, which has sold more than 22 million copies in 42 languages. He was also the pastor at Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan for 52 years and officiated at one of Donald Trump's three weddings. Asked if working for Peale gave her a more positive outlook, Mead said, "I never read his book." "He was all business, not overly friendly to his employees," she recalled, adding that her job was tedious. "I learned more ZIP codes than you can ever imagine." It did produce one surprise: "Big 18-wheelers came up every week, just full of money," she said. "They took big baskets of checks out of those trucks; I was amazed." At the same time, she also worked at the nearby YMCA Holiday Hills Conference Center, where actor James Earl Jones often performed in fundraisers. "I got to know him pretty well," she said. "He was one of the nicest people I've ever met." (Jones, who lived in Pawling, died last year at age 93.) Mead also found time to serve with the Amenia Fire Department for 12 years, from 1980 to 1992, as a volunteer firefighter and member of its rescue squad. She said her favorite job was driving a school bus for 11 years, from 2008 to 2019. "I loved it, loved the kids, even more so the special-needs kids," Mead said. But it wasn't easy for someone who stands less than 5 feet tall. "They always knew it was my bus because they couldn't see a driver." She'll never forget the day she drove a school bus to Albany to take her commercial driver's license test. On the way, the bus hit a wild turkey in flight. "There was blood and feathers all over the windshield," Mead said. "I was hysterical." She was still...

Unleashing Creativity: Tapping into Your Innate Potential In a world driven by innovation and originality, creativity is one of the most valued and sought-after traits. While some might think creativity is a rare gift bestowed upon a fortunate few, the truth is that we all possess an innate creative potential waiting to be unleashed. This article will explore practical ways to tap into your creative reservoir and bring your ideas to life. 1. Embrace Curiosity Curiosity is the cornerstone of creativity. By asking questions and seeking out new experiences, you open your mind to a world of possibilities. Take time to explore new hobbies, read diverse genres of books, or learn about different cultures. The more varied your experiences, the richer your creative pool becomes. 2. Create a Stimulating Environment Your surroundings can significantly impact your creativity. Design a space that inspires you—fill it with art, colors, and objects that spark joy and imagination. Whether it's a cozy corner in your home or a vibrant workspace, ensure it reflects your personality and fuels your creative spirit. 3. Practice Mindfulness Mindfulness helps quiet the noise in your mind, allowing your inner creativity to emerge. Regular practices like meditation, yoga, or simply mindful breathing can help you stay present and connect with your thoughts and ideas more deeply. This mental clarity can lead to breakthrough moments of creativity. 4. Embrace Failure as a Learning Tool Fear of failure often stifles creativity. Instead of viewing mistakes as setbacks, see them as valuable learning experiences. Every failed attempt brings you one step closer to a successful idea. Embrace a growth mindset, understanding that creativity is a journey filled with trials and errors. 5. Engage in Creative Play Sometimes, the best way to unleash creativity is through play. Activities like drawing, painting, writing, or even playing with building blocks can stimulate your brain in new ways. These playful endeavors can break the monotony of routine thinking and unlock fresh, innovative ideas. 6. Collaborate with Others Creativity often thrives in collaboration. Engaging with others exposes you to different perspectives and ideas, which can ignite your creative spark. Join a club, attend workshops, or simply have brainstorming sessions with friends or colleagues. The synergy of multiple minds can lead to extraordinary creative breakthroughs. 7. Set Aside Time for Creativity In our busy lives, creativity can easily take a backseat. Make a conscious effort to set aside time each day for creative activities. Whether it's 15 minutes of journaling, an hour of crafting, or an afternoon of brainstorming, regular practice helps build and maintain your creative muscles. 8. Seek Inspiration in Nature Nature is a profound source of inspiration. Spending time outdoors, observing the beauty and intricacies of the natural world, can rejuvenate your mind and spark creative ideas. Go for a walk in the park, hike a trail, or simply sit in your garden to connect with nature and your inner creativity. 9. Limit Screen Time While technology offers numerous creative tools, it can also be a distraction. Excessive screen time can drain your mental energy and creativity. Set boundaries for your digital consumption and allow yourself time away from screens to think, dream, and create without interruptions. 10. Reflect and Record Your Ideas Keep a journal or a digital notepad to jot down your thoughts and ideas as they come. Reflection helps you process and refine your creative ideas. Regularly reviewing your notes can provide valuable insights and fuel your creative endeavors. Unleashing your creativity is not about waiting for inspiration to strike; it's about cultivating habits and environments that encourage creative thinking. By embracing curiosity, creating stimulating spaces, practicing mindfulness, and engaging in playful and collaborative activities, you can tap into your innate creative potential. Remember, creativity is a journey—enjoy the process, learn from it, and let your imagination soar.

Subscribe to Thyrolove and Save 15%https://thyrolove.com/In this powerful episode, Inna is joined by transformational leader and inner child expert Anat Peri to explore an unexpected twist in the Hashimoto's healing journey. Together, they dive into the case of Jessica, who was doing all the “right” things, following the AIP diet, taking supplements, working on her mindset, but still felt exhausted and stuck. Her symptoms weren't improving, and her doctor's solution was to increase her medication yet again.The turning point came when she uncovered something deeper. Jessica was trying so hard to stay positive, think positive, do her affirmations because that is what she was told she should be doing. However by doing that, she was unintentionally overriding her true emotions and it made her feel way worse.Anat explains how this kind of forced positivity can be a detriment because it can actually create stress in the nervous system, keeping the body in a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze. This episode unpacks how overriding your feelings can actually worsen autoimmune symptoms and why true healing starts with emotional safety.Anat also shares the science behind how the nervous system reacts faster than the conscious mind, how inner child work helps create safety, and why nervous system regulation must come before mindset work can truly be effective. From breathwork to sensation naming to reparenting tools, you'll learn how to create space for your emotions and support your healing from the inside out.This episode is an essential listen for anyone who has tried it all and still feels like something is missing.

Was Torri a little skeptical? Maybe! But when we dove in, turns out that after all, Torri IS in fact working on her mindset… Mindset work isn't always journaling, vision boards, or structured routines. Sometimes, it's choosing to stay positive in hard moments. It's having deep conversations, seeking connection, or just getting through the day with intention. In this episode, we talk about what mindset work really looks like, how to stay in a good headspace even when life gets messy, and why you might already be doing more mental work than you give yourself credit for. Whether you're deep in personal growth or just trying to feel more grounded, this one's for you.

What if the stories we tell about stress and adversity are holding us back? What if the most resilient people are not the strongest, but the most adaptable? This episode is an invitation to rethink resilience. Dr. Steven Stein shares how the hardiness mindset shifts our relationship with challenge. A concept born in military research but relevant to artists, entrepreneurs, and everyday heroes. It's not about stoicism or sheer willpower; it's about seeing meaning in difficulty, embracing uncertainty, and committing to a journey bigger than the immediate obstacle. T You'll discover how small shifts in thinking can ripple into profound changes in how you live, work, and connect. Actionable takeaways: Cultivate challenge as a lens for growth, not a reason to retreat. Practice focusing your efforts where you have influence, not where you feel powerless. Let your commitments guide you beyond temporary discomfort. ---- Advertisers BetterHelp The world's largest online therapy provider BetterHelp.com/GrowthMindset - 10% off 1st month Liquid I.V.

Steve and I talk about a recent experience where I was activated by something in the media. A majorly messed up story that stirred old wounds and brought up big emotion.It wasn't easy. I felt tender, raw, and flat. And it would've been so easy for Steve to pull away or take it personally but instead he stayed close, even when it wasn't comfortable. He loved me through it by holding space for me to be exactly where I was.We speak openly about what that looked like for both of us and how being in different headspaces doesn't have to mean disconnection, if we're willing to communicate from truth and not reactivity.I also share how I told my family: “I'm not okay right now, but I will be. This isn't about you. I'm just in something.” Because I've learned that shutting down or punishing the people I love because I'm in pain only adds more layers to work through.And Steve reflects on how much that honest communication helped him stay connected to me, instead of trying to guess what was wrong or getting defensive. We talk about how far we've come from those reactive “What's up your ass?” kind of moments and how we now use well-framed conversations to navigate tough emotional terrain with love and respect.If you're in a relationship or in a family where one person's heaviness can easily pull the whole ship off course, this episode is for you.It's about holding space, taking responsibility and learning how to stay connected even when you're not in the same headspace.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USAJoin Authentic The Program - registrations open nowCoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show
