My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Jo Taylor, author of the book Margaret of Thibodaux. Jo is an obstreperous, retired ER Nurse who is likely an obstreperous writer too. She grew up with three stepmothers (not at the same time). She's lived on a boat and traced her genealogy back to the year 310 (maybe, probably, you know how genealogy is). She's been married for 33 years and all her hero characters are based on her husband, a hero in real life. Her first book, Postcards: Collected Poems and Short Stories, came out in July 2024. Margaret of Thibodaux, her first novel, released on March 18, 2025.   In Carole's book review, she stated: 14-year-old Margaret is not going to let her father erase the memory of her deceased mother by bringing another woman (certainly not a stepmother) into their home. Her best friend, Honey tries to convince her there's nothing to worry about. The new woman is a doctor after all, loved by the entire town. But for the past six years her mother has appeared at her feet and lulled her to sleep with her favorite lullaby. Margaret is convinced that couldn't possibly continue if another woman occupies the master bedroom.   Jo Taylor masters this coming-of-age story which takes place in Louisiana during the summer of 1974. You can almost feel the heat of the bayou as Margaret and her friends solve the problems of the world on the swings at the water's edge.   The local town medium is the one person Margaret feels can help her contact her mother to make sure their routine won't change. But no medium, or talk with friends, or even pleading with her father can assure her things will be fine. It isn't until she finds a poem at her mother's grave that she begins on a path to a solution she can live with.   This is a story you'll want to put on your TBR list.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Jo Taylor Website: https://www.jotaylorauthor.com/ Substack: https://jotaylorauthor.substack.com/ https://x.com/JoTaylorAuthor https://www.instagram.com/jotaylorauthor/   Purchase Margaret of Thibodaux on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/463ocIY Ebook: https://amzn.to/45I7GiE   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Frost and Flowers: Áron's Quest for His Own Farm Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-09-13-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Őszi szellő lengedezett a virágfarm felett, ahol Áron épp a krizantémok között sétált.En: An autumn breeze wafted over the flower farm where Áron was walking among the chrysanthemums.Hu: A nap fénye játszadozott a narancs és sárga színű virágokkal.En: The sunlight played with the orange and yellow flowers.Hu: Áron lelkiismeretesen dolgozott, és gyakran visszanézett a távoli dombok felé, amelyek egyszer az ő saját farmjára nézhetnének.En: Áron worked diligently and frequently looked back toward the distant hills that might one day overlook his own farm.Hu: Lívia, a farm tulajdonosa, figyelte Áron munkáját.En: Lívia, the owner of the farm, watched Áron's work.Hu: Látott benne valamit; elszántságot, szenvedélyt.En: She saw something in him; determination, passion.Hu: De ott volt még Miklós is, az idősebb munkás, aki gyakran kételkedett Áron képességeiben.En: But there was also Miklós, the older worker, who often doubted Áron's abilities.Hu: "Nem lesz könnyű neki," mondogatta Miklós, "De talán megérdemli az esélyt."En: "It won't be easy for him," Miklós often said, "But maybe he deserves a chance."Hu: A farm napjai csendesen és dolgosan teltek.En: The days on the farm passed quietly and industriously.Hu: Áron egyre több felelősséget vállalt.En: Áron took on more and more responsibility.Hu: Megfigyelt, tanult és próbálta bizonyítani Líviának, hogy készen áll.En: He observed, learned, and tried to prove to Lívia that he was ready.Hu: Mikor a hőmérséklet hirtelen csökkenni kezdett, Áron megérezte a kihívást.En: When the temperature suddenly began to drop, Áron felt the challenge.Hu: A virágok érzékenyek voltak a fagyra.En: The flowers were sensitive to frost.Hu: De Áron nem hagyta, hogy a félelem legyőzze.En: But Áron didn't let fear overcome him.Hu: Egy este, mikor a hideghullám érkezett, Áron összehívta munkatársait, és elmesélte nekik a tervét.En: One evening, when the cold wave arrived, Áron gathered his colleagues and explained his plan to them.Hu: "Ha fóliával takarjuk le a sorokat, megvédhetjük a virágokat a fagytól," kezdte izgatottan.En: "If we cover the rows with plastic sheeting, we can protect the flowers from the frost," he began excitedly.Hu: Lívia beleegyezett, bár Miklós hitetlenkedve csóválta a fejét.En: Lívia agreed, although Miklós shook his head skeptically.Hu: A munka éjszakába nyúlt, a csillagok alatt robotoltak.En: The work extended into the night, they toiled under the stars.Hu: Áron vezetése alatt fóliák borították be a földet.En: Under Áron's leadership, the ground was covered with plastic sheets.Hu: A fagy valóban megérkezett, de reggel napfényével a virágok még mindig ott ragyogtak.En: The frost indeed came, but in the morning sunlight, the flowers still gleamed brightly.Hu: Lívia elismerően bólintott.En: Lívia nodded appreciatively.Hu: "Lívia," mondta Áron, "Sikerült. A virágok megmaradtak!"En: "Lívia," Áron said, "We did it. The flowers survived!"Hu: Lívia mosolygott. "Láttam a kitartásodat és vezetésedet ebben a próbában. Szívesen segítek az álmaid elérésében."En: Lívia smiled. "I saw your perseverance and leadership in this trial. I'm happy to help you achieve your dreams."Hu: Miklós, bár kelletlenül, elismerően bólintott.En: Miklós, albeit reluctantly, nodded in acknowledgment.Hu: "Jól csináltad, Áron," mondta csendesen.En: "You did well, Áron," he said quietly.Hu: Áron szíve repesett az örömtől.En: Áron's heart leapt with joy.Hu: Most már tudta, hogy csak az első lépés volt a saját virágfarm irányába.En: He now knew this was just the first step toward his own flower farm.Hu: És bár az út hosszú lesz, Líviával az oldalán biztos volt a sikerben.En: And although the road would be long, with Lívia by his side, he was confident of success.Hu: A farm zsongott tovább, és Áron már alig várta a jövőt.En: The farm buzzed on, and Áron eagerly looked forward to the future.

KKEP331 – BEWARE THE TEMPTATIONOn this episode of The Karen Kenney Show podcast, I talk about a recent trip to a casino (for my sweetie's gig with Sully Erna of Godsmack) that really got me thinking about the world we live in today. Walking into that place was like stepping into a full-on sensory overload - bombarded by flashing lights, nonstop sounds, and a vibe that just pulls you and your brain in from every direction. It was wild to notice how everything is designed to keep you distracted and consuming, and it made me realize how easy it is to get swept up in all that noise. As I moved through the casino, I couldn't help but compare it to the way our phones and social media work. Just like the casino, our electronic devices are built to keep us hooked, and chasing that next little dopamine hit. It's so easy to lose track of time and get pulled away from what really matters, whether it's connecting with people, being present, or just enjoying the world around us. This experience was a wake-up call for me to check in with myself and ask some honest questions:Where am I getting distracted? What am I letting pull my attention away from the things and people that truly matter? I realized that it's not about judging ourselves, but about getting real and making sure we're living on purpose, not just on autopilot.

As driven individuals, many of us end up saying “yes” to everything: talks, podcasts, meetings, projects, etc. We chase impact while losing sight of what really matters. In this episode, Gino and Rob unpack the cost of overcommitment and explore how to reclaim clarity, boundaries, and presence. Gino reflects on his own journey toward finding a “happy medium,” while Rob highlights the power of pausing for regular self-assessment. Together, they invite listeners to question the motivations behind their choices: Is this rooted in fear or love? Is it aligned with who I truly am? The conversation reveals how often we try to fill an invisible hole, only to realize there's nothing missing. Wholeness was there all along. By honoring our capacity and saying “no” to what doesn't serve us, we make space to mentor, to connect, and to truly shine.

Millions of people are having deeply personal conversations with AI chatbots, but how safe are these interactions? We're joined by two technology reporters who have been investigating troubling cases, including a California teenager whose months-long chats with ChatGPT took a tragic turn and a vulnerable man who was convinced by one of Meta's AI female personas to “meet” in person. We look at how these tools can manipulate – or be manipulated – to cause harm, and what we're learning about the psychological impact of AI companions.

The Calf of Man, just off the southern tip of the Isle of Man. There's a decayed building there. And on its wall hangs a strange thing. A life preserver—round, red and white, worn by time. It made me wonder: What do we leave behind to save the ones who come after us?” This is Quest & Chorus #306 0:21 - We Banjo 3 "Alive With You" from Open The Road 3:14 - WELCOME TO QUEST & CHORUS Where every place has a story, every story has a song, and every song is a step in the quest.

We don't see everything. Instead we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join me with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts, blogs, videos, and photos. In 2026, you can join me for a Celtic Invasion of Galicia in Spain. Sign to the Celtic Invasion Vacations mailing list at CelticInvasion.com. Let's begin the… QUEST & CHORUS of CALF OF MAN The Calf of Man is a small island located about a half mile off the southern tip of the Isle of Man. It is a protected national park that is part of the Manx National Heritage. It is home to large number of species of birds, including some colonies that migrate there. Around 33 species of seabirds breed on the islet annually, including  Manx Shearwater, Kittiwake, Razorbill and Shag. Every year, I take a small group of people to explore our Celtic heritage. It's called Celtic Invasion Vacations. Next year, we're going to Galicia in Spain. That's one of the most-obscure Celtic nations. But in the summer of 2024, we did a Celtic Invasion of the Isle of Man. On the invasion, we took the Wild Life and Scenic Trip around Calf of Man with Shona Boat Trips. They are one of the small boat operators that give tours. Desi was our guide. He lived on the island for a year. We didn't get to explore much of the land. Because the Calf of Man is raw. The kind of place the sea keeps for itself. There was a building by the shore. We couldn't inspect it during our fifteen minutes on the ground, but it looked like just the bones of a dwelling, stone clinging to stone. And from its wall, there was one oddity that stood out in the stark landscape. A life preserver. That's wild to think about. A life preserver is a tool meant to save someone in the future, and it was hanging on the ruins of a home from the past. It reminded me of Miranda, from the movie, Serenity. A planet left behind. A warning not given. A silence that cost too much. That building, that place… it feels like Miranda. Not because it's dead. But because someone left it—hoping it might save someone else. In the first episode of Firefly, Malcolm Reynolds is fighting in Serenity Valley. A soldier standing next to him is terrified that they are gonna die. Mal tells him, “we're too pretty to die.” He's filled with so much hope. A moment later he watches in horror as his air support leaves. He watches his Angels fly away as the soldier next to him is shot down. Two-thirds of the Independents died in the Battle of Serenity Valley. Two-thirds of Mal's fellow soldiers did not make it home. And yet he lived. He was preserved. MUCH LIKE THE SECRET WORD OF THE DAY. WHAT WAS PRESERVED? Were you ever left behind? How did you move forward? Music is my safe place. That's one of the reasons I wrote “Serenity Valley Waltz”. I wanted a song for survivors. For those who were left behind. To not just face the future, but to also take care of the next generation. This is why I spend so much time thinking about sustainability and my music career. Are we making a life preserver for the next generation? For my daughters? I've been reading the book Ministry of the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. He does an amazing job at illustrating the tipping point of climate change. When we HAVE to start doing something about it. The very first chapters of the book lay out a horror that brought tears to my eyes. Especially when I imagined what my children will most likely face at some point. We can use that life preserver right now by changing how we do stuff right now. And perhaps music can be our guiding light.  Our healer. Our hope. “Serenity Valley Waltz” is a song all about healing and hope. It's about overcoming our nightmares and looking out across the ocean from the Isle of Man and seeing a better future for all of us. This song is for the places that hold pain. But also for the objects that remind us to stay afloat. That round red and white ring… it didn't save a life today. But it might tomorrow. This is Serenity Valley Waltz.” 16:19 - NEWS Marc Gunn “Serenity Valley Waltz” from Selcouth If you want to learn more about “Serenity Valley Waltz”, visit the shownotes.

The Calf of Man may be forgotten, but its story, like yours, is worth remembering. Next week, we climb to Tintagel, the seat of Camelot, to raise a glass to myths and farewells. Until then… Leave something behind.  Not because you're going… But because someone might come looking. 19:30 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Quest & Chorus.

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with Brian Anderson, a Webby Award-winning senior features editor, writer, and producer at VICE. Brian was a science editor at The Atlantic, where he was part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning team for early pandemic coverage, and was later an editor at Vox. He lives in Chicago with his partner (and a piece of the Wall of Sound). Loud and Clear: The Grateful Dead Wall of Sound and the Quest for Audio Perfection is his first book, and the focus of this episode. Loud and Clear is the first book to tell the full story of the Grateful Dead's “Wall of Sound,” an unprecedented and since unparalleled speaker system that was as tall as a school bus is long and more than a hundred feet wide. The band's quest for a roaring yet crystal clear sound began after their formation in 1965, colliding with the ‘60s progressive social climate. Over the next few years, the Dead's growing crew of sound-obsessed techies and eccentric roadies took their speaker system to new technological heights. But as the Dead's relentless, drug-fueled touring schedule met this increasingly burdensome yet sonically perfect machine, in 1974, the Wall brought the band to its knees. The two years of “Wall shows” are legend among Deadheads, and Loud and Clear is the compelling character-driven tale about human ambition, achievement, and the limits of both on a larger-than-life scale. Brian Anderson interviewed hundreds of people associated with the band and the construction of the Wall itself, including band members, roadies, tech wizards, fans and many more.

What is Nordstrom's number-one goal? If you're a Nordstrom employee you'd better know the answer, because it's pretty much the first thing that we ask at every state-of-the-company meeting. Invariably when we single out our newer crew members we'll get a mixed bag of pretty good answers. But the truth is, there is only one answer—which is to improve customer service. And it's that word "improve" that we're really focusing in on today. Customer service is our single most important characteristic and the foundation of our whole reputation. But here's the rub: with that shining reputation comes incredibly high expectations. Expectations that rest on the shoulders of each and every person that works at our company, from our salespeople to our store managers, from regional managers all the way up to our executive team. And though we do get a lot of really great feedback about our people stepping up and making somebody's day, we also get our fair share of negative remarks. Times when we've fallen short. When the customer experience doesn't live up to our reputation and the customer's expectations. And yet, it's in those failures—the imperfect moments—that we often find the most meaningful lessons. In this episode we're joined by a series of Nordstrom leaders who know full well the critical importance of continuously reigniting these conversations around our service culture. You'll hear from Co-CEO Erik Nordstrom and Chief Merchandising Officer Jamie Nordstrom, as well as three store managers: Brandon Gross, Stephany Pierce and Ted Reed. You'll also hear from our Vice President General Manager in charge of Nordstrom New York, Chris Wanlass. Listen in to their stories of missteps and mistakes, of moments when our service wasn't exactly what it should have been, and how those moments became turning points and reminders that humility is not at all a weakness, but our greatest strength. Thanks for tuning in to episode 95. We hope you enjoy it! Did you know that YOU can be on The Nordy Pod? This show isn't just a one-way conversation.

This episode of Scottish Murders explores the ongoing investigation into Pat McAdam's 1967 disappearance. Host Dawn recounts journalist Frank Ryan's efforts to keep the case alive, including his collaboration with Dutch clairvoyant Gerard Croiset. Despite Gerard's detailed visions, no concrete evidence was found. The episode also covers the discovery of an unidentified woman's body near where Pat was last seen, and touches on the broader issue of missing persons in Scotland. Dawn examines the impact of psychic detectives on cold cases and the public's perception of clairvoyance. The narrative sets up for the next episode, which will introduce a potential suspect in Pat's case.SOURCES:Please see our website for all source material and photos at https://scottishmurders.com/episodes/patmcadam/British Newspaper Archives Affiliate LinkSUPPORT US:Patreon - patreon.com/scottishmurdersKo-fi - ko-fi.com/scottishmurdersMerch - teepublic.com/user/scottishmurdersWebsite - scottishmurders.comTwitter - @scottishmurdersInstagram - @scottishmurderspodcastFacebook - facebook.com/scottishmurdursYouTube - @ScottishMurdersLinktree - linktr.ee/scottishmurdersCREDITS:Scottish Murders is a production of CluarantonnHosted by Dawn YoungResearched, Written and Edited by Dawn YoungProduction Company Name by Granny RobertsonMUSIC:ES_Tudor - Bonnie Grace - epidemicsound

Episode 3728: Most of us spend our days trying to create order and comfort, yet life never stays under control for long. Leo Babauta reveals how these attempts only deepen our anxiety and offers a mindful alternative: learning to sit with uncertainty and act from love instead of fear. His perspective invites us to release the endless chase for control and discover freedom in presence. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://zenhabits.net/controller Quotes to ponder: "Almost our entire lives are spent in a quest to gain control, security and comfort in our lives. Unfortunately, we never really get it, so we keep trying, relentlessly." "The basic nature of life is that it is everchanging, uncontrollable. When we think we have stability in life, something comes up to remind us that no, we don't." "You'll learn to sit with this feeling of out-of-controlledness, and be OK with it. You'll learn to trust in this moment, not to lead to an outcome you want (control!), but to turn out just fine." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
