Ever wonder what would happen when Benson, Stabler, and the Unit get tangled up in an investigation that sends them looking into the Gulf Cartel, the FBI, Los Zetas, the CIA, and Cuban revolutionaries? Well, wonder no longer because this time around we are diving in to Season 11, Episode 6 "Spooked" featuring Vincent Spano reprising the role of FBI Special Agent Dean Porter. It starts with the SVU version of the Wet Bandits finding a pair of staged corpses with a rape tree and some stolen implants in the back of a box truck and just gets stranger from there. It may not make sense, but “Spooked” is a helluva nonsensical fever dream.Sources:Gulf Cartel - WikipediaInside Mexico's ‘Holy Death' Cult - by Evgeny Lebedev, GQ, August 31, 2020Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Karyn R, Summer S, Matt, Elyse R, Julia K, Los C, Katrina S, Samuel K, Bryan C, and Shannon H - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

Brand isn't a logo or a launch moment. It's an enterprise-wide undertaking that lives in every function, every stakeholder, and increasingly, every AI answer.Anne Green sits down with Megan Noel, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Covista, America's largest healthcare educator, to unpack what it really takes to build and relaunch a brand fromthe inside out. Megan shares how Covista brought a new enterprise brand to life, why this work was a shared endeavor between Communications and Marketing, the necessity of partnering across functions, and how getting employees bought in first can help create ambassadors ratherthan detractors. They also get into the rise of the Chief Corporate Affairs Officer role, why she'd happily retire the term “public relations” for good, and what the answer engine economy means for how brands earn trust in an AI-first world.In this episode:• The growth of the Chief Corporate Affairs Officer role and why many CEOs are putting all the storytellers under one seat• How Covista built a new enterprise brand that spans multiple institutions, and why the work couldn't sit with Marketing alone• Why getting employees bought in first is the difference between brand ambassadors and brand detractors• What the answer engine economy means for press releases, brand consistency, and earning trust from AI.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga Pull up a chair and let's talk about something I've been exploring lately. It's the “depth of inquiry” that steers a nice essay into a memorable story. That sounds a bit academic, right? But here on Front Porch Friday© what it really means is the difference between just surviving your life, and actually understanding the truth of what you've lived through. Too often, as women, we get into the habit of just reporting the facts. We tell our stories like a laundry list of events. "I raised the kids, I worked the job, I did what was expected, and now I'm here." There's no story magic because you are missing. We do the same thing when we speak out loud to the world—we say what's polite, or what keeps the peace, instead of saying what we actually mean. Think about a moment where you had to say a hard "no" to someone, or maybe you finally picked up a hobby you abandoned years ago. The surface story is simple: "I was too busy for another commitment," or "I just wanted a new creative project." But looking deeper we feel the memorable story.  The truth is more than protecting your calendar or buying art supplies; you realized that your time and your passions don't belong to everyone else anymore. You decided that you are finally ready to be seen and heard exactly as you are, without adapting yourself so others feel comfortable. That shift right there? That is “depth of inquiry.” It's stopping the report and starting the investigation, the exciting archeological dig on your life. Story Prompt: As you go about your day, take a deep look past the surface of your own daily routine as if gazing into a wishing well. Don't just report the facts of your life to yourself. Find the glimmering coins of a deeper truth under the surface; write that story and share it out loud! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, please subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together.

Fine dining is hell, apparently. If you don't believe The Bear, I guess you could turn to this SVU for further evidence, but that might be giving it more credit than it's due.Here, we watch as Not Gordon Ramsey throws temper tantrums in his terribly named fine dining effort, pushing questionably sourced prawns, screaming at his runners, and sexually assaulting his waitstaff. This guy is a real a-hole, but he keeps shaking the charges, which leads the Unit to working with--or is it against--the Brooklyn ADA who really dug Stone's pickoff move. One look at which season this one comes from should tell you everything you need to know. Characters do things they'd never have done under a different guiding hand, details aren't well thought out, and nothing makes sense. Come along for the ride as we have a field day with this Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Karyn R, Summer S, Matt, Elyse R, Julia K, Los C, Katrina S, Samuel K, and Bryan C - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Maybe like me you love hearing stories by women who know who they are. They don't waste words on small talk. They don't give "nice" little speeches. When they speak, the whole room stops. Many of us spend our lives doing the exact opposite. We say what we think people want to hear. We shy away from speaking our truth, offering our ideas. For example, recall a time when you spoke up in a meeting. The surface story is: “I pitched an idea, it got rejected, and I sat down.” That's a report, not a story. The real story happens when you ask yourself why rejection stung so bad. It wasn't about the project; it was the moment you sat down and realized you've been shrinking yourself to make other people comfortable—and you're finally done with that. The memorable story—the one that sits in your chest—arises from your “depth of inquiry.” You're not looking for glory; you're fighting for your right to be seen and heard. TIP: Expressing yourself creatively isn't about being showy. It's about standing in your own shoes, saying exactly what you mean, and meaning what you say. Speak your truth like you know what you're talking about... because you do.  And, I can help.

Talking to your teen about sex is so good and important, but it can be vulnerable and uncomfortable.Trust us... Kenna knows.

A few years back, I hosted Dougie Mackay at my home on Vancouver Island for some pizza and a televised hockey game. I'd just caught his show in town and was struck by how he illuminated the wingspan of a story - the way it could carry an audience across centuries and landscapes with each sentence.Raised in the Scottish Highlands where storytelling is still in the water, Dougie has sold out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Scottish International Storytelling Festival. He even holds a Guinness World Record as part of the longest continuous storytelling session (74 hours, set in the central square of Marrakesh, where storytelling is also heritage). He describes his own work as firing on the edge of the wild.In this episode of The Crow's Nest, Dougie joins me to explore the medicine of story for these times - and for men in particular. We speak in support of the upcoming Cascadia Men's Conference, happening August 6-9 in the Squamish Valley just north of Vancouver. The conference draws its DNA from the Minnesota Men's Conference, now forty years strong, and we're gathering elders and younger men alike to light a fire we hope will burn yearly.Dougie won't be with us in person this August (he'll be at the Edinburgh Fringe with his show A Wolf Shall Devour the Sun), but his spirit is woven into what we're building. At the heart of our conversation, he tells the old Gaelic tale of Finn McCool and the Salmon of Wisdom - a story from the Fianna cycle about a boy raised by wild aunties in the forest, who must learn not just to hunt and fight, but to see truly.What emerges is a conversation about masculine leadership, the necessary relationship between youth and elders, and what it means to be mentored by both the feminine and the wild. "I think there's lots of people seeking belonging, and the salmon has something to say about that."Dougie offers a particular tonic: the idea that in our broken culture, many of us in midlife and beyond may find ourselves in the role of Finnegus - the old poet who sits by the pool for seven years, preparing the ground so that someone younger might receive the gift we never will.If you're drawn to the work, you can find Dougie writing on Substack at Rekindling the Hearth. He's also launching a nine-month storytelling mentorship cohort called The Storyteller's Journey this September.The Cascadia Men's Conference runs August 6-9.

Debora MastersonTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Debora Masterson. Debora is an author who just released her debut novel! 'Freedom Quest: A Love Story' follows the story of Grace and Michael who fall in love in the mid 1960s, break up, get back together, and some bits of the incredible life that happens to them during the space between. This book is roughly 85% true according to the author. The character of Grace is Debora, and the character of Michael is Craig. Debora's real life soul mate Craig Ingraham was a musical phenom and a prolific songwriter. He also lost his way, fell into some rough circumstances, and even unwittingly joined a cult! This book is a wild ride. There are drugs, mayhem, love, loss, cults, music, dancing, and even some famous people. Available wherever you get books, 'Freedom Quest: A Love Story' is also in the process of being turned into an audiobook. There is also a companion Spotify playlist which has songs from the actual band Freedom Quest, recorded back in the early 1970s. In this episode, Debora shares some of her personal reasons for writing this book, some of the fun times between her and her soul mate, and some of the stuff that didn't quite make the book. We also take a bit of a dive into her experiences with transcendental meditation (TM), and even a local historical landmark that she helped save. Buy the book, listen to the playlist, and check out the short documentary that she & Craig made to honor their fallen friend in Vietnam.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I am delighted to spotlight my friend, writer and devoted flyfisher, Jeff Ikler, host of Getting Unstuck - Cultivating Curiosity podcast as he talks with his guest Tom Reed, explorer, writer, landscape photographer, and wellness coach. Episode Notes excerpt: “The conversation explores how skill and serendipity intersect in creative work, the role of mindfulness in perceiving opportunities, and the thread of vitality that connects Reed's diverse pursuits. The discussion also turns to climate change and environmental degradation, with Reed emphasizing acceptance without apathy—a stance rooted in spiritual maturity and non-judgment. Ultimately, Reed's work invites us to reconsider why certain landscapes move us so profoundly—and what that says about our relationship to the natural world.” NOTE: Direct Episode Links to What Can Standing in Awe of the Natural World Teach Us? featuring Tom Reed are available below across multiple platforms, plus hundreds more Getting Unstuck episodes, and links to contact Tom Reed & Jeff Ikler.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.   I teach my personal narrative clients and students that their rigorous “depth of inquiry” steers them way from writing surface-level, first-available answer drafts to crafting a memorable story. What do I mean? Nice personal essays often recount the superficial events of what happened and to whom. Maturing storytellers grow their essays into unforgettable narratives by deeply exploring why what happened to them matters, probing motivations, and reflecting on how those experiences shaped their world view. For example, a nice personal essay focuses on content. Facts tell the reader what you did, the places you went, or the most obvious outcomes of an event. A memorable story focuses on context—the situation or circumstances the facts took place in. Together content plus context create meaning. Meaning reveals your underlying emotions, struggles, doubts, and the personal truths you uncovered along the way. Story listeners are drawn to meaning like filings to a magnet. Tip: To transform a nice essay into memorable story, dig deep by asking yourself 5 probing "depth of inquiry" questions: 1. What did you desire? 2. What choices did you make to get it? 3. What were the consequences of those choices? 4. Did you achieve what you desired, or fail? 5. How did the experience change you? Story Prompt: Think of a time when you were offered an unlikely opportunity. You said “Yes! Come what may!” What happened next? Write that story and share it out loud!

Have you ever had a relative that you enjoyed sitting by during family functions because they always had good stories to tell? Ben Tucker is that kind of guy. He's known for his storytelling performances as part of the Oakland based Stagebridge, where he tells stories about his ‘storied' life. His family was part of the Great Migration of African-Americans to the West- he grew up in SF's Bayview neighborhood.  He was an All-American track star back in the 1960s when he ran for San Jose State. And Ben has been a preschool teacher in Berkeley, a social worker in Harlem and a track coach in Nigeria.He immerses readers in all these life adventures in his new memoir, “A Good Run.” KALW's Jenee Darden spoke with Ben on the Sights and Sounds show.

When a client suffers a major loss, the last thing they want to deal with is a claims process bogged down by miscommunication and a lack of empathy. If your agency is simply acting as a middleman passing emails back and forth, you aren't adding value - you are just in the way.My guest, Clayton Matthews, Director of Strategic Claims Advocacy at Oakbridge Insurance, joins me to discuss why the claims experience is the ultimate "moment of truth" for an agency. Clayton shares his unique background, from interning in politics to spinning records as a late-night DJ, and how reading a dance floor translates perfectly to reading a room during a catastrophic loss. We discuss the friction points between adjusters and producers, the power of letting a client tell their story, and why you don't need a four-year degree to learn empathy. If you want to understand how a proactive claims strategy can save your biggest accounts and set your agency apart, this episode is a must-listen.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callcompletegameu.com/agaTimestamped Outline(00:00) The Most Outgoing Claims Advocate: Introducing Clayton Matthews(01:15) Politics and Public Service: From the General Assembly to Insurance(03:47) The Late-Night DJ: Learning the Psychology of the Crowd(05:22) The Real Job of a DJ: Keeping the Floor Packed and Selling Beer(07:37) The Billion Dollar Question: Solving the Claims Communication Gap(09:34) The Importance of Being Heard: Why Every Claim Needs a Storyteller(12:14) Case Managers and Adjusters: The Friction Between Empathy and Process(14:01) The Highest Paid Translator: Balancing Contractual Facts with Human Feelings(16:51) Boots on the Ground: Losing Hope and Finding Humanity in Catastrophe Zones(19:33) The Uninsurable Era: Why We Need a Stand-Alone Wildfire Policy(21:42) The Reality of Risk: A Personal Story of Driving Uninsured at 19(24:05) Stop Being the Middleman: Where Agencies Go Wrong in Claims Advocacy(26:53) The Bad News Requirement: Front-End Expectations vs. Back-End Excuses(30:42) Why Clients Leave: The Danger of Poor Agency Exploration and Expectation Setting(34:22) The Washout Factor: Why Empathy Trumps a 4-Year Degree Every Time(39:02) Clayton's Lightning Round: Checking Email at 5 AM, Southern Mafia Podcasts, and Stephen KingCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. We humans have shortcomings in common. Certain personal and professional imperfections—such as procrastination, impatience, and difficulty with public speaking, among others—that we naturally work to improve or manage. Maybe like me you've struggled to perfect your shortcomings only to discover that a better use of your energy might be to put them in service to self-awareness. Developing a habit of proactive personal growth identifies shortcomings without excessive self-shame and focuses on practical strategies for improvement, rather than dwelling on the weakness itself. No more “Should on you!” What if instead of focusing on what I'm not because of a standard set by someone else, I assess all I've done, accomplished, overcome, created, and become over the course of my life thus far because I learned how to fall down 7 and get up 8? What if I make up my mind to attend to projects and ideas that are achievable and meaningful to me despite my shortcomings—because I say so! Question: How are you incorporating your shortcomings to live the life you want, where you want, how you want, with whom you want, and for the reasons you want? We determine who we are, shortcomings and all! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Was James Files telling the truth? Or was he weaving one of the most elaborate stories in the history of the Kennedy assassination?In this episode of The End of Innocence, we're not going to decide whether James Files was the assassin. Instead, we're going to do what every good investigator should do—we're going to examine the evidence.We'll compare Files' first prison interview from the early 1990s with his extensive 2003 prison interview. Did his story change over those ten years? Did he contradict himself? Or did the core of his account remain remarkably consistent?We'll examine what stayed the same, what expanded, what—if anything—changed, and what those differences might tell us about the credibility of his extraordinary claims.Because consistency alone doesn't prove someone is telling the truth—but inconsistency can certainly raise questions.So join me as we take a careful, objective look at one of the most controversial confessions in JFK assassination history.I'm John R. Young, and this is The End of Innocence.

Not every opportunity that lands in your inbox is the right fit. In this episode, Heather (me!) explores the concept of "handball referrals" and why passing opportunities to the right person can strengthen relationships, build trust, and create value across the accounting profession. Drawing on real-world examples from speaking engagements, networking experiences, and community involvement, she shares practical advice on becoming a thoughtful connector within your professional network. Key Discussion Points Why saying "no" can be the most professional response when an opportunity falls outside your expertise. How to identify the right person in your network and make meaningful referrals. The importance of maintaining professional credibility by matching opportunities with genuine expertise. Lessons learned from speaking engagements, panel discussions, and community involvement. How strategic introductions build trust, strengthen industry relationships, and contribute to long-term professional success. Conclusion Professional networks thrive when people actively support one another. Whether it's a speaking opportunity, client referral, advisory role, or project, taking a few minutes to connect the right people can have a lasting impact. Heather encourages listeners to think beyond simply declining opportunities and instead consider how they can contribute to a stronger, more connected accounting community.   Episode resources and links:     If this episode helped you, the best way to support the show is to leave a review somewhere as it helps more people find us.

Sometimes an SVU really does the racism. Then there's S7E6 Raw, which for an unfathomable 20:51 unfurls bigotry at an astonishing rate--an average of once every 23 seconds. And it doesn't even start until past the 16-minute mark. They pack so much hate into this episode that it left Adam and Josh dumbfounded.We've also got Marcia Gay Harden back which means: a) bodies will drop, b) Stabler will get hurt, and c) maximum Foghorn Leghorning. This episode does the racism with such reckless abandon that you'd be hard-pressed to come up with an episode of television (network or cable, frankly) that did it more. Hold onto your butts, everyone.

Storytelling is how leaders turn information into belief, alignment, and action. Leadership Storytelling Is No Longer Optional In this episode of The Customer Service Revolution Podcast, John DiJulius and Denise Thompson discuss why storytelling is one of the most important leadership skills in today's workplace. Most leaders are good at sharing information. They communicate updates, goals, metrics, and expectations. But information alone rarely changes behavior. Stories are different. They help people understand the "why," connect emotionally to the mission, and remember what matters. John explains why great leaders throughout history have also been great storytellers. Whether they are entrepreneurs, coaches, CEOs, pastors, or public figures, the best leaders know how to rally people around a vision. They do not simply tell people what to do. They help people believe in what is possible. Data Tells, Stories Sell One of the central ideas of the episode is the phrase, "Data tells, stories sell." Facts are important, but facts alone often fail to inspire action. A story gives the data meaning. It creates context, emotion, urgency, and belief. John explains how storytelling activates different parts of the brain than traditional communication, making people more likely to remember and act on the message. For leaders, this matters because employees do not want to simply trade hours for dollars. They want to be part of something bigger. Storytelling helps leaders show employees how their work connects to the company's purpose, the customer's experience, and the impact the organization is trying to make. The Leader's Role in Storytelling John explains that leaders are responsible for communicating the company's vision in a way that creates emotional commitment. That requires more than a polished message. It requires a story people can see themselves inside. A strong leadership story often includes three roles: The Villain The problem, friction, broken industry norm, poor experience, or missed opportunity the organization exists to fight against. The Victim The people affected by the problem. This could be customers, employees, the community, or an industry that needs to improve. The Hero The team members who have the ability to change the outcome. John makes an important point: the leader is not the hero of the story. The employees are. Great storytelling helps employees see that they are the ones who can solve the problem, serve the customer, and bring the company's vision to life. The Four Components of a Great Leadership Story John shares four key components every leader should consider when telling a story: Purpose Every story must have a clear reason for being told. It should motivate, teach, reinforce values, or help people understand a decision. Emotional Connection A story should make people feel something. Empathy, inspiration, humor, vulnerability, and shared experience make the message more human. Structure A strong story needs focus. Without structure, leaders can drift into rambling, unnecessary details, or disconnected anecdotes. Authenticity The best leadership stories feel real. Leaders build trust when they are willing to share their own growth, mistakes, lessons, and moments of vulnerability. Why Storytelling Improves Customer Experience Storytelling is not just a communication tool. It is a culture tool. When leaders tell better stories, employees better understand the mission, values, and behaviors expected of them. Stories create a shared language. They reinforce what matters. They help employees see how their role impacts the customer. That stronger employee connection ultimately improves the customer experience because employees are not just following rules. They understand the purpose behind the service standard. Practical Ways Leaders Can Become Better Storytellers John encourages leaders to practice storytelling like any other skill. Better storytelling comes from repetition, feedback, observation, and self-awareness. Leaders can improve by watching great speakers, studying TED Talks, practicing with peers, joining speaking groups, asking for feedback, and learning to cut unnecessary details. John also emphasizes that stories are everywhere: in your life, your work, your customers, your employees, the news, and the everyday moments that reveal what your company stands for. The key is not to copy someone else's story. It is to recognize where a similar lesson has shown up in your own experience, then make it authentic. Key Takeaways Storytelling is a leadership skill, not just a speaking skill. Leaders use stories to create belief, alignment, and emotional commitment. Facts alone rarely inspire action. Data becomes more powerful when it is connected to a story people can understand and remember. The leader should not be the hero. Employees should see themselves as the heroes who can solve problems and improve the customer experience. Every strong story needs purpose, emotional connection, structure, and authenticity. Stories help reinforce culture. They give employees a clearer understanding of the company's purpose, values, and service expectations. Better storytelling takes practice. Leaders can improve by studying great speakers, rehearsing, seeking feedback, and learning which details matter. Pull Quotes "Data tells. Stories sell." "You are never the hero of your story." "Every company should exist to have a positive impact on humanity." "A leader's role is to create such a vivid, crystal-clear vision of the company's future that people rally around it." "Less is better, said really well." "Nothing will rise you through the ranks faster than galvanizing a team or department to perform better."

 What exactly is the Tradition of Accounting? Who do you report to, and why? We break down the hierarchy of sire, domain, Prince, and clan responsibility, exploring how a fledgling's mistakes can become an elder's problem. From unauthorized Embraces and Masquerade breaches to political liability and the traditions that keep Kindred society functioning, we examine why Accounting exists and how Storytellers can use it to create meaningful consequences instead of arbitrary punishment. Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/25YearsOfVtM

Character Pairings and the Pressure of Honor. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The Iliad features vivid character relationships that function with the depth of a novel. Helen is portrayed as an ironic thinker and a storyteller who weaves the sufferings of the war into her textiles, much like the poet himself. She possesses a unique perspective on her own fate and the limited power mortals have against the whims of gods like Aphrodite. In contrast, Hector and Andromacheform a tragic pairing; Andromache's heartbreaking pleas for her husband to stay within the city walls are met with Hector's refusal, driven by the intense fear of shame and the pursuit of kleos, or undying glory. The royal couple Priamand Hecuba represent different facets of leadership and loss, with Hecuba displaying a maternal rage so fierce she wishes to eat her enemies raw. Divine figures like Thetis, Achilles' mother, add a layer of sympathy as she bargains with Zeus to grant her son glory, knowing his life will be short. However, these divine interventions often result in further horror for the mortals involved. 31789

Do you ever think: I like hearing how God works in other people's lives but I don't think anyone would be interested in hearing my story with or without God – I mean, I've messed up, I keep messing up—how can I be sure God still wants to use me?   Today we have  Amanda Schaefer, podcaster, Bible teacher and author of Holy Plot Twists—God Is Still Writing Your Story. Once God came into Amanda's life, she hasn't wanted to stop talking about him and she does that best through telling her story. And says today that we can do the same. All our stories are powerful becasuse they show off God's beautiful work of redemption, transformation and love. What a way to live. You will be encouraged. Amanda is hosting a giveaway of her latest book - please comment below to be entered.  Some gems from our conversation: God gave me everything I needed while getting ready to meet Jesus. He takes all our individual stories to intersect with others to make one big God story. God interrupts my thoughts of sin and shame, and puts his hand under my chin to lift me up to remind me I'm doing a great job. God is constantly trying to get our attention so don't limit the way he may be speaking to you. It's not enough for me to be free—he wants everyone to be free! I'm a "scooper-upper", making sure people are connected to God and to one another—to make them feel welcomed, seen, heard and loved. God comes in and takes a story and does a flip to change it all around for His purposes and kingdom. Choose to look for the good, and it will change the way you view life all day long.  God does His best work while we wait.  Comment below to be entered to win Amanda's book.
