In This Episode You'll Hear About:Why David wanted to create this company with a product that needed to be iterated hundreds and hundreds of times to get it right to be a non-alcoholic alternative that could be added to cocktails What the process of doing what so many people in the industry thought was impossible was like and how they persevered with this unique ideaWhat it was like launching a brand right before a pandemic and how they navigated those unusual challengesWhat childhood in Oklahoma was like and what ways David was entrepreneurial very early on, learning valuable lessons about hard work even as a teenagerHow he got into the fitness and physical therapy world and what led him to the CPG world after thatWhat advice he has for Co-Founders and for setting yourself up to be able to let go more easily as you scale and grow the companyWhat unique route they took for raising money and what advice David has for other founders when looking for non-traditional fundraising ideasHow David and his Co-Founders run the team and cultivate a company culture that is built on trust and respect and keeping it personalWhat is next for Ritual and why they are confident that Ritual will become synonymous with nonalcoholic spiritsTo Find Out More:RitualZeroProof.comQuotes:“The idea never left. And what came to me was, if we could actually make these taste like known spirits, if we could approximate the flavor profile of whiskey, of gin, tequila, rum, that'd be amazing.”“The devil's in the details and the details matter. Let's get it right. So we kind of knew we were on to something really early on in the process and it became a matter of perfecting.”“It's kind of like the Impossible Burger or almond milk. There's never going to be a world where the coffee joints don't sell alternative milks to go with your latte. And in no world, the grocery store is not going to have alternative meats. Now that it's there, people are buying it.” “What we've learned is you can't change consumer behavior. They're going to do the thing that they want to do. Maybe it's not real meat, maybe it's not real milk. Maybe it's a Ritual Margarita instead of the real thing.”“If I could do things differently, it's prepare for more success because this category is on fire. This company is leading the charge in the United States for a category that's really needed. And nobody understood just how big this was going to get when we first started the company.”“You just can't do it yourself. You certainly can't scale. And if you started off with the mindset of this is mine, mine, mine, it's really hard to give those pieces away and grow. And you have to be able to give things away to be able to grow.”“There's nothing not personal about a startup. The whole 'It's just business' thing is complete bullshit. It's just personal. Keep it personal and become friends.”“The most important thing you can have among your Founders and among your employees is trust.”“It is so very gratifying to build something and see something out in the real world. But I think it's just worth it. I think it's a shame if you don't give some version of entrepreneurship a shot. It's a wonderful way to grow as a person.”“It's a learning process. Your life is about learning. That's as important as the money you'll get from this, and you'll realize later ultimately more important than the money you'll get from this is how much you've learned, people you've met, the experiences you've had…”
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk. You'll recognize yourself in these true-life stories of adversity, challenge, fear, discovery, adventure, expression, and more from women who are walking their lives while their lives walk them and the lasting difference their journeys have made. I'm your host, Diane Wyzga. Welcome back to Part 2 of the podcast interview with my guest, Jane Duncan Rogers, founder and Chief Officer of Before I Go Solutions and Before I Go Academy who joined us from North Scotland. I've invited Jane to talk with us about the absolutely vital end-of-life planning work that she and her team are spreading around the world. We were talking about creating Before I Go Solutions as a non-profit when I asked Jane about the challenges and frustrations she faced. Let's hear what she has to say about this and so much more on the topic of end-of-life planning, how it benefits you and your loved ones, and what you can do about it.Minutes: 37:3800 to 2:03 Intro2:03 to 4:20 Challenges and Frustrations I'm curious. You said you knew you were on the right path because of the Yes!, the resounding “Yes!” as you were checking in - but what might have been some of the frustrations and challenges as you were putting all this together?Challenge #1: Putting it together on a shoestringSpent all savings on book publication, Gifted By GriefYes, felt right in some wayFinancials are still a challenge; however Jane has never let lack of money stop her doing anythingWill always find a wayChallenge #2: After 30 years of working as an independent professional now had a team of directors to confer and decide withHad been used to barging ahead with her own ideas, with whatever felt rightChallenge #3: taking on coaches, assistants and the like as Before I Go Solutions expands and developsChallenge #4: anxiety; growth spurt; doesn't feel comfortable but that's what growing anything is like 4:20 to 8:00 Why Should We Even Care About End-of-Life Planning?Many folks say I don't care - I'll be dead - do whatever you like!The thing is, end-of-life plans are for those who come afterIs an incredibly selfless actThis End-of-Life planning is not for everybody; but is still useful to go through the processThe caring is about you caring about those you love and how they will manage after you dieIf you can make their way easier (which you can) that's whyIt is not easy; that's why we do it collectively and have facilitators to helpBelieve it or not: It's a creative process; can be fun and enjoyableMore folks are aware and more open to end-of-life planning because of COVIDOver the past year or so of COVID has there been an increased awareness of end-of-life, of mortality? Do you find that because of COVID that there is not only an increased awareness of life and end-of-life but people are more likely to raise the subject of end-of-life and mortality?In Jane's world death is a common topic; people might be having more conversations.As to the world in general maybe more conversations; but unless the conversation is recorded (even a simple as a list) nothing happens and people remember differentlyUnless you translate a conversation into documentation about choices and desires there could be arguments and issues that cause problems among loved onesThis is not just about the funeral but maybe several years down the line: there could be disagreements about this, that or the other: finances, companies, care of children and the likeJane works with those who recognize that End-of-Life planning is a good idea but still haven't gotten around to itJane's attention is with the willing albeit challenged8:00 to 11:35 How Do You Draw In and Work With the Willing?Like filings to a magnet; attract the willing who wish to investJane's book: Before I Go - has simple instructionsWorkbook to complete is a bigger version of original list of questionsJane discovered that folks do not do the work without help so she created coursesFrom that a facilitator training course was designed and developed to have facilitators to helpPeople ask: Why is there a charge for all of this stuff? Especially when it's there for free although not all in 1 placePeople need encouragement and 1 way to do that is put money where mouth isJane is driven to get End-of-Life Plans to be as common as birth plansJust do it!When you do it with others is creative, fun and connectingHost: quilting bee for End-of-Life!In the day when we could meet together there was that flavor to it11:35 to 14:40 How Do You Begin the Conversation in the Family, With Loved Ones?There is a return to face-to-face so we will have the opportunity for a collective; but before we get to that place, how do you start a conversation in the family?Conversation starters require a contextDo not plan to show up at dinner and ask about burial or cremationIn context it becomes natural to ask a question and discuss the topicWhen Prince Phillip died he had an End-of-Life Plan for years: he wanted a custom-made Land Rover to carry his coffin which makes for an ideal conversation starter: I was thinking about Prince Philip and his Land Rover and made me realize I'd like a side-car...what would you like? Ever thought about it?Another would be: if a celebrity dies, or if you went to funeral, or if attend ed online funeral, or learned about photo legacy, or even listening to amazing podcast between Diane and Jane Duncan Rogers who is completely mad...Have courage because you don't know loved ones' responses in advanceNot easy to ask about personals about sex, money and death; but unless we ask the answer is never given14:40 to 19:45 Before I Go Solutions Website & Free 10 Question QuizThe 10 questions are drawn from the original documentPeople don't know what they don't know; that's one of the main problemsWe don't think about the affect on othersWhat to destroy: we don't consider secrets, journals, evidence, etc. that might hurt or be unpleasant to loved ones; decide what to do with those items in advanceThe things you really don't know: who is authorized to speak on behalf of the ill person? It's not what you thinkKnow the laws that govern where you live to understand who can speak for you or a loved oneGetting some done is better than nothingPower of Attorney is keyHealthcare Power of AttorneyAdvance Healthcare DirectiveWhat we have control over while we are living and not leave big decisions to familyExtremis is wrenching 24 minute documentary film on Netflix: what happens with families in hospital when Advance Healthcare Directive is not in placeYou might very well get treated in the medical system unless you say you don't in writing or otherwise verbalized it to maximize what you wantWe put our heads in the sand about death hoping we will conk out in front of the telly; the truth is most folks end up with a long slow decline getting more and more unhealthy19:45 to 24:50 Digital FootprintWe take such care with compassionate End-of-Life decisions with our pets/ animal companions. We do not consider ourselves, our loved ones - nor do we think about the digital footprint. Question: what will happen to it, what can happen to it, what can people do to remove the footprint or let it be?You have to make conscious decision to keep or deleteJane got a friend to deal with Phillip's Facebook page; but doesn't know more than thatDo you want to continue as alive on social media after you're dead, or not?For the young people it could be used as a memorial site that also meant something to friendsWhat do you want, how do want us to carry on, and where is it put down so we know what to do? Then get on with living your life.Host recalls a book about End-of-Life plan (Handbook for Mortals) where it was set out to how to take the opportunity to tie up loose ends; what happens if you do all that and you don't die, was it all in vain? No; you've done all the work, no worry that something is lacking. Go and live your life until you don'tEducating yourself about the myriad of details is helpful for those coming after and helps you prioritize what's important24:50 to 28:08 Highlights About TopicsWhat are other topics to address, chapter headings of what's to be learned.Secrets, Journals, Letters, Diaries. What you want to keep privateAdvanced Directive is critical so the designated person can act on your behalf in the way in which you want to be treated End-of-life planning work is a project; can be done in 3 months or upwards of a year or two longer depending on circumstancesThe benefit? Relief!What's available? Online course (self-study) plus live opportunities with facilitators trained to hold folks accountable28:08 to 31:00 Joy in End-of-Life Planning and Topic of DeathThere is an over-riding sense of joy in this conversation with Jane which is a combination of true energy, purpose, passion and bringing End of Life Ellie the Elephant to the light. This isn't grim or depressing. This is engaging. Jane loves the word “joy!” in this work, especially because of her experience - even though it didn't start off like thatThere can be joy and fun in death and preparing for it, as her clients say to describe the work they do on the coursesBefore I Go Solutions bring a lightness to the topic - they switch a light on in what's perceived as a dark room31:00 to 37:38 LegacyAs we sit here today what would you like to see happen in the world as a result of your work? Completely fueled by the idea that End-of-Life plans will be so normal - like birth plansHaving a plan is better than notJane's Big Mission: commonplace in the worldNow, what about seeing End-of-Life plans as part of the corporate Employee Benefits package, the Human Resources Department, all part of culture changeJane has always been a pioneer in her past; she sees the horizon wide openAs we begin to close, what might have been left unsaid?The gift in the grief: from horrible to enormous number of spiritual insights she wrote about in her book, which completely changed her, and that it took Phillip's death to do thatWhat folks are interested in: practical side of thingsJane followed her heart to respond to that interestIf Life is calling you, your job is to follow it no matter how mad it might seemTook 10 people saying the same thing before she paid attentionA resounding “Yes!”Before I say thank you to Jane I want to mention that all social media links, and TEDx talk, and connections to Jane Duncan Rogers and her work, Before I Go Solutions will be posted in the Episode Notes.

Academy.When my husband Philip died, I never for one moment imagined I would end up working in this field.I had been an award-winning counselor and coach for over 25 years, having originally trained personally with the famous Louise L. Hay in 1990, working in the personal growth field in many different aspects. I'd published books and tapes (well before the internet) and was helping small business owners to reach their full potential when Philip died.Because of the questions he had answered in his last year, I was well prepared in some respects for the admin side of things afterwards. But there was much more we simply did not know about.Fast forward to 2018, a year during which both my parents died. They had completed a comprehensive end-of-life plan each, the one that Before I Go Solutions offers, now known as the Before I Go Method®.This was very different to my husband who had answered some things, but there was a lot more that I simply had to decide about myself.And that difference was huge – as my parents' executor, I simply had to follow all their thoughtful instructions.What's more, it was easy to find everything, and I took great solace from knowing I was carrying out what they wanted (and that they had known I would do this).My three siblings and I had no arguments at all, over what was a pretty stressful period (they both died unexpectedly within the same week).I am so incredibly grateful and appreciative for the organisation they had so carefully thought through.So I know from personal experience how hugely important this preparation work is, and I want to help you to help others do this too!Jane's background of 25 years in the psychotherapeutic and training fields has been perfect for the not-for-profit - Before I Go Solutions - she founded and helps to operate. Together with her team of trained End of Life Facilitators, she provides products and programmes to help people complete their end-of-life plans, something about which many have good intentions but never quite actually get around to doing.Jane lives in the North of Scotland, re-married during COVID lock-down, and she and her new husband are building not only a new life but a new eco-house/home together.

Actor: "God gave me a voice to singAnd when you have thatWhat other gimmick is there?" _ Whitney Houston(Singing) God gave me a voice to sing …I miss Whitney Houston. I think it's true that she can live on in our hearts. There's something spiritual about it. When she was alive, I felt something spiritual. Whitney always mentioned God no matter what faults she had. God gave her beauty and a voice to sing. Whitney used her talent in a good way, and that's the way God wanted it to be. She led us in a good way through her music about love. Whitney taught us what real singing is. There are people that mislead with their talent. They send out bad messages. Some people don't even have to know how to sing to become a singer. But Whitney Houston, she knew how to sing, and she knew what kind of songs to sing. The accuser had to discredit her in some kind of way. He wanted to harm her good reputation. He couldn't stand her because she had everything he once had and lost it. The accuser wanted to silence her, but Whitney kept on singing. She sang the gospel too. Hmm hm. Whitney was reaching people both ways with her powerful beautiful voice, and the accuser couldn't stand it. He put a lot of pressure on Whitney and picked at her about her life. You know what he's about, and I know what he's about because he's after us too, and he ain't nobody's friend. When I look at pictures and documentaries of Whitney Houston, no matter what they say, I can truly understand. And the people that's talking about Whitney, and always got something negative to say, and always got to tell something that she done wrong, well, they ain't no better. They working with the accuser. And I know there's a forgiven God. And I forgive no matter what the voice Whitney has done. I thank God for sharing her with us and for letting us hear her voice, and for letting her in music. Actor: "God gave me a voice to sing ..(Singing)God Gave Me a Voice - Words of Whitney Houston. You're listening to the Whitney Soul Podcast. I'm Gail Nobles. Your host for today's podcast.
As we move forward along the ascension path our manifestation and energy control abilities increase dramatically. You may be seeing this in your life now. Then our language becomes important because as master manifestors and energetically sovereign beings, we use our language to move, direct, and control energy. Language, both internal and external, is what keeps the momentum in our intention.Remember energy has no judgment, it just goes wherever it is told to go. We use a variety of tools to move energy including our intention, alignment and integration, as well as our beliefs, thoughts, words, and actions. Words are part of our language and words create – every word creates.All of these work together to move us from 3D density to an integrated 5D paradigm. And we must use the combination of our energy tools within the 5D paradigm to move energy in the right direction. If we’re using low vibration words to move into a high vibe reality, it won’t work.If we’re using polarized language to move into the duality of 5D congruence, it won’t work. If we’re not aligning our energy tools and our intention with our language to keep the manifestation momentum moving, we’ll feel stuck.Before I talk about 3D and 5D language, let’s look at polarity and duality. They are not the same thing although many people refer to them that way. It’s wrong. They represent two different states of being, one is pure 3D, the other is integrated 3D/5D.We cannot achieve multi-dimensionality within a polarized reality because we cannot hold two different energies in polarity. And that is required for multi-dimensionality.Polarity means opposites, it is pure 3D energy. It’s an ‘either/or’ choice. We can have this or that but not both. We have to choose sides and abandon one thing over another. There’s always a winner and a loser in 3D. 3D polarity is not aligned with the 5D paradigm. In fact, it is a closed system that rejects 5D or any other energy outside of its frequency. 5D is duality, it is an ‘and’ choice. We can have this and we can have that. We can have any combination we choose.Duality means two, the concept of being ‘dual’ means not just two things randomly put together, but two things that are together, and they fit together and work together. This is congruence, a 5D aspect.When we are in 3D we are in polarity and our language is one of the components of our movement into duality, from 3D to 5D3D energies are competition, constriction, conflict, chaos, and controlLanguage includes spoken language as well as how you speak to yourself – the conversations you have with yourself in your head.What do they sound like?Would you be willing to say them out loud?When are you in conflict?What kind of chaos is in your life?What competing thoughts are in your head, mirroring competing energies in your life?What kind of words do you use when you speak out loud? If you knew that each word creates would you use different language?As a clairaudient I can hear what people say to themselves. When I speak to clients I often hear the answers to what I say. They are not always very positive or uplifting.No I can’t, that’s not me, that will never work, I can’t do thatWhat does your self talk sound like? Here is an example of 3D polarized languageI can’t do itIt won’t work for meI am never going to figure this outI am not luckyCan you name your own polarized language?The 5D energy is creativity, cooperation, collaboration, community, connection, and clarity5D language embodies these energies and is deliberate, positive, self aware, expansive, and intentional. 5D language acknowledges the limitations of 3D and the potential that we are capable of when we allow 5D language examples of duality or multi-dimensionality includeI set my intention for receiving this – or something better that I have not yet envisionedI accept the decisions and choices of others without judgmentI allow myself to haveI create my reality to becomeI am energetically sovereignI extend my energy towardsI embrace my perfection inIt is not enough to set an intention and then hope for the best. Your intention creates an energy container for the outcome you want but it requires nurturing every step of the way and part of that nurturing includes your internal and external language.It’s like driving a car – you still need to keep your foot on the gas and steer the car in the right direction, and make sure you stay on the road. You can put it in cruise control but you still have to keep your hands on the wheel and watch where you’re going, and make sure you stay on the road.The internal language is especially important because it represents how you really feel and what you really think. So watch that inner language, use your 5D language to expand your 3D reality and keep the momentum moving for that intention to manifest.And remember when you achieve a victory, any victory, celebrate yourself. Acknowledgement is also part of the 5D paradigm and it is a reminder of your power and abilities, as well as a sign of closure with one part of your path and a new beginning for another one.

How She Did That : Virtual Assistants | Online Business Managers
Stepping out of our businesses from time to time is necessary, whether it’s to have a baby, go on vacation, or simply to enjoy some time with your family. Today on the podcast, we’re going to talk about how to prepare for extended time away and how to step back into your business after time off. My guest today, Kelsey Kerslake, is the CEO and Creative Director of Pine Gate Road, a branding and web design agency that does personal brands for experts, coaches, and thought leaders.Kelsey and I were in a year-long mastermind together. Before she joined that mastermind, she was a solopreneur and doing everything herself, and driving herself crazy as a result. She wanted to have a baby but knew she wouldn’t be able to sustain her business the way it was at that time if she were to take time off or be able to spend more time with her baby. She started thinking about her business structure and wanted an agency model to support taking time off. She shares her journey to achieve this in today’s episode. We talk about:Some of her fears when it came to taking time off for maternity leaveWhen she started prepping for her maternity leaveHow she figured out who she needed to hire and what kind of support she would need to achieve her goalsHow she slowly hired out her zone of genius and how she felt about doing thatWhat she did when it came to team communication to make sure she was taking time off as she needed toThe first steps you can take in order to be able to step back in your own businessAbout the free course, she is sharing with you about the basics of brand strategyVisit https://www.tashabooth.com/podcast for more info!

Is a peaceful heart and peaceful mind possible in this wacky world? I’m waxing philosophical today. I hope you find this podcast educational and entertaining at the very least. As always, I want to take a minute and say welcome to all the new listeners and welcome back to veteran homestead-loving regulars who stop by the FarmCast every week. I truly appreciate you all so much. Today’s Show Homestead Life Updates Peaceful Heart – Peaceful Mind Parmesan Peas Homestead Life Updates Herd Shares – When you purchase part of our herd you will benefit from fresh milk and yogurt in the summer with cheese and butter available year-round. Your cows graze each and every day on lush green pasture and freshly baled hay in the winter. They live a life a peace and tranquility in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Plan a trip to the farm to visit them and see how we care for and manage them. Go to www.peacefulheartfarm.com/virginia-herd-shares for more information. We have only three lambs this year. Speak up now and claim a half or a whole or forever hold your peace. Well at least until next year. Same with the beef. This may be your last chance for beef raise on our homestead. We are streamlining our cattle operation to be strictly dairy. In the future, you’ll have to purchase a young calf and raise it up for beef on your own. Choices, choices, choices. We are constantly faced with hard choices these days. Should we get more Jersey cows or stick with the Normandes? New opportunities seem to continually present themselves. I’m leaning more towards sticking with the Normandes. Sure, Butter, the Jersey, is giving more milk, but we can breed for higher milk production. It is the temperament of the Normande that is so compelling. And the dual milk/beef characteristics. We have the option of selling every single calf we birth on the farm. But we can also keep one as needed for our own use as beef. Normande beef is superb. Yeah, I’m leaning toward keeping the Normandes central and the two Jersey girls will be the cream on top. (That’s a dairy pun.) Corny, I know. Choices again. As we move forward at the farmer’s market, the interest in lamb is increasing. That’s another dilemma. I only have so much time in a day. At this point, my days are consumed with milking, making cheese and marketing milk and cheese. Scott and I have discussed significantly reducing the other animal populations. Specifically, the goats and sheep. It’s another task in my already overcrowded schedule to market those specialty meats. Who knew we would be faced with these kinds of choices? We love all of our animals. However, I have 10 lambs to sell next year. Will I have the time to do it effectively? Or will we fall into the trap that so many other small farmers do? Will we end up selling them at a loss just to make room for more that get sold at a loss again? Not likely. We are aware of the dilemma and are addressing it. But there it is. The choice is always before us of what we do with our time. How much garden is the right amount of garden? If I don’t have a garden at all, then I must spend money at the market to make up the difference. Part of the choice of living the homestead life is the simplicity and living on less. It becomes like drinking water, a necessary part of your life. Else you go back to the rat race of spending the hours you currently use to garden with working for someone else. Nah, I think I’ll pass on that. Yeah, the garden will likely endure. Not much in the way of updates there. We continually have choices to make, but for right now we have Normande cows, goats, sheep, donkey’s and quail – and a very large garden and orchard. Those will remain as they are and we will power through. Oh yeah, we can’t forget the bees. But we do. They are going fine on their own. One day we will rob some honey. But not today. I’ll bet you guys have similar choices. Should you move to the country and build a homestead or create peace in your life right where you are and visit us every chance you get? Either will bring peace to your life. It’s always your choice is it not? Peaceful Heart – Peaceful Mind How does one get a peaceful heart? That’s a deep subject. I’ve worked on it for years and I continue to work on it. Maintaining peace, both inner and outer, is a full-time job – a lifetime job. There are techniques that help. Different choices can be made that will help. Self-discipline with your thoughts and mind helps. There are lots of things that can be done. Here at Peaceful Heart Farm, we are constantly reminded of the desire for peace because of our name. What you think about becomes your life. We think about peace a lot. Living in the environment we do helps also. But it is not required. Not everyone can live the life we do – or even desires to live as we do. Having peaceful surroundings is not a prerequisite for experiencing peace. I must say, for us, it certainly helps. Whenever you get tired of the rat race and just want to escape to the country, you might have to make plans, drive a certain distance, hope that it is as you remembered, and so on. For Scott and me it is a matter of waking up in the morning and going outside to do morning chores and we are immersed in it – for the most part. We have awakened to disasters – animals we love may be ill and die. We lost Dora earlier this year. That was not pleasant and it disturbed my peace. But we move on. Technique and Practice One technique that I believe helps more than any other is maintaining a positive attitude. Looking on the bright side is another way to put it. I know it sounds trite and it is. The reason it is trite is it is ancient wisdom that works remarkably well. The idea has been passed down through the ages. Maintaining a positive attitude has endured because it works. With practice, it becomes more and more a daily routine. Something happens, you choose to the see the positive. I know, I know, it’s easy to get caught up in the negative. And truly there are some experiences that have no easily identifiable up-side. The loss of a loved one comes to mind. Sure, you can intellectually tell yourself over and over that they are in a better place. They are no longer in pain. The suffering is over and so on. But that does not take away the deep grief that grips your heart for quite a long time. But these are the exception to the rule. Most of our negative ideas about anything in our daily life are interpretations that we put on events. These interpretations are based on our beliefs, perception of the facts and past experiences. Yes. They are choices we are making. And you can get out of it. A key phrase I put in there is “perception of the facts”. Likely you believe that facts are facts. (And there is truth in that.) Yet there is so much that we accept as fact that in reality is based in false perceptions. Our senses can fool us but we believe them anyway. It can become a kind of mind-reading that we believe to be fact. We make our belief that something is true into absolute knowledge that something is true. Confirmation bias is the common way of identifying the resulting misinformation. Let’s say you are sure someone frowned at you because they don’t like you. Or you assume they are judging your weight, or your appearance, or your whatever. It is an illusion. One hundred percent of the time, it is an illusion. Truly, you have no idea what they think of you. In fact, they may not have even be truly aware of their surroundings and therefore are not thinking of you at all. Here’s an example. Many years ago, I was standing in line at a grocery store. At the young age of 20 something, I had very little self-awareness. My thoughts ran wild and I lived in my own little world, often completely unaware of those around me. Surrounded by people, I would be in my own bubble of thoughts, floating along like a bit of flotsam on a river. Rolling along merrily without a care in the world – or at least completely unaware of what I cared about. So, I’m in the grocery store checkout line and behind me a lady accidentally bumped into me. As a natural reaction, you would turn around, right? Just to see who it was. I turned around to look at her. I will never forget her reaction. She apologized profusely. Over and over she apologized. I frightened the bejesus out of her because of the look on my face. She said I looked so angry that she thought I was about to hit her. I apologized to her. To this day, I have no idea what I was thinking but it had absolutely nothing to do with her. Who knows what negative idea was roaming around in my head that day? Two things came to my awareness from that experience. Number one, I saw that I needed to pay attention to my thoughts and how I displayed them on my face. Open anger at the world displayed in an unconscious manner was not how I wanted to live my life. It was not how I wanted others to know me. And number two, I began to wonder how many times I had assumed I knew what someone was thinking based on the expression on their face as they looked at me – or looked in my direction. What if they were not even looking at me but at someone else, or simply staring blindly in my direction. What if I was the farthest thing from their thoughts? How many times had I judged myself based on an inaccurate perception? And today, I recognize how self-centered that idea actually is. In reality, the most normal thing in the world is for every person to be spending so much thought energy on worrying about what someone else thinks of them to even consider making a judgement about what to think of the person in their field of vision. One positive effect of that experience was that I purposefully trained myself to automatically smile at everyone I meet. It made an amazing difference in my life. I wanted to reflect to others that they are loved. No matter what they are thinking inside their very busy head. I wanted them to know that they are loved and that life is worth smiling about. Not everyone responds positively, but most do. Perhaps I made a small difference in their life. I can hope. Personal Responsibility and Judgement To make the transition to living a peaceful life, you have to stop thinking it’s somebody else’s fault. You have to stop thinking it is anyone else’s fault. There is no fault. Your life is a continuously playing video in your head. Whatever you think and believe shapes your reality. Think on something long enough and believe it hard enough and it becomes your reality. The good, the bad and the ugly. Take a care. The risks you take, the actions you perform, and your everyday experience of reality shape your life. If you spend your time judging everything negatively, your life will continually reflect that negativity back to you. Here’s an example. A small one. Let’s say you are having a wonderful day. You are optimistic. Life is going along as you planned and you are content and peaceful. Now you stub your toe. Not enough to break anything, but hard enough to make you yelp. Perhaps you will take a moment to sit down and examine the damage. No blood, but perhaps a bruise will arise later. In this circumstance, the pain will dissipate fairly rapidly. Now imagine you have that angry face that I just described. You are not even aware of the negativity that is boiling just under the surface. And you stub your toe in the same way. What is the result? Perhaps you start cursing to high heavens. Perhaps you scream loudly. You sit down and cradle your foot and begin to examine your toe. You howl and moan and curse because of the pain, your stupidity for not watching where you were going. Maybe someone left something in your path, you weren’t paying attention, and it caused you pain. But in your mind, it is the fault of the person who left it in your path. The pain, the wrath, the unhappiness, the negativity, the lack of peace can last a long time. Perhaps you feel a momentary jolt of happiness. Someone else did you wrong and that makes you right or righteous. But this is a very, very short-lived and fleeting experience. You may not even be aware of it, yet it is there. That brief experience – that split second of feeling good about yourself because you are better than someone else or they were wrong and you were right. Petty, egoic ideas that so often run wild in our minds. That guy is fat. Her dress is rumpled. This other person is really stupid and slow and so on. He or she is a loser. Who left that tricycle in the walkway right where someone might trip on it? The more you make these kinds of judgements, the more you are going to separate yourself, the less peace you will have. And yes. You will feel good for an instant, a split second, because you’ll feel good about yourself. You will think, “I’m better than that” or “I’m better than them.” But later you are going to feel lonely. Later you are going to continue to see negativity everywhere. Your world is constantly reflecting your own negativity about yourself back at you. It is a never-ending cycle until YOU change. Not the other person. YOU. Reality is neutral. Reality has no judgements. Reality simply is. To a tree or a chair or that door you stubbed your toe on, there is no concept of right or wrong. There is no good or bad. You are born. You embark on a journey of sensory experiences. There are lights, colors and sounds. And how you choose to interpret that is up to you. How you interpret them IS your life. You have that choice. Happiness is a Choice Peace and happiness are choices. Love is a choice. If you believe it’s a choice, then you can start working on it. You can affect your life. Life is peace because you choose to remain peaceful. Because reality is neutral, I can’t tell you how to find peace. It is your own conditionings, judgements and out of control thoughts that create the experience of unhappiness. You have to fix it for yourself. Start with believing it is possible. Just because you are miserable today, does not mean that you must be miserable for the rest of your life. Perhaps you have dreams that seem out of reach. You may believe you will never get what you want in life. Sure enough. You will never get what you want in life. Your life will continually reflect that negativity back to you. “See, I knew I would never get that job,” you say. While all the while you unconsciously presented yourself as a loser to the interviewer. After all, in order for you to fulfill your vision of negativity, the pieces must be in place. On the other hand, if you went to the interview with confidence (even if you were faking it), your chances of landing the job just improved 10-fold or a 100-fold. Let’s say you are looking for your dream property to live your idyllic life in the country. You have a specific budget in mind. There are specific activities you want to do on your homestead so infrastructure to support that ideal need to be in place. And then there are the optional things that you would like to have but they are not absolutely required. Once you have that idea in place, you set out on your journey to find the perfect place. You may look at fifty or a hundred or more properties. It’s easy to become discouraged. This one is the right price but no buildings. This one has buildings but they are not usable. The perfect one comes up and someone underbids you and steals it right out from under your nose. These things can lead to greater negativity and more feelings of “I’ll never get what I want.” The cards are stacked against me. And so on. But you have to believe it’s possible. For much of my life, I was miserable and now I’m happy. I’m content. For the most part, I’m peaceful. And it’s not just the homestead. I got most of the way there before moving here permanently. I think that on the outside, it didn’t look like it. There were so many challenges. Listen to my podcast “Our Virginia Life” where I talk about the crazy path we took to get here. Effecting Change How did I develop greater peace before the homestead? One thing was getting older. I just realized that life is short the time to live is now. Each step toward my ideal is where peace and happiness exist and nowhere else. I can see the future when I reflect, but I don’t focus there exclusively else I miss the wonder of today. Confucius has a great saying. “Every man has two lives and the second starts when he realizes he has just one.” It’s your unlimited desires that are clouding your peace and happiness. Have desires, of course. But be mindful of your life as it exists today. Marvel at it. Fill your mind with the wonder of this moment. Isn’t it truly amazing that you even made it this far? Change is gradual. It’s ongoing. It’s very personal. You have to decide it’s a priority. In everything that happens you can look at the bright side of things. Literally train yourself to think positively. There are always at least two ways you can see everything. As I mentioned earlier, there are some things that create acute suffering. Let’s put those aside for the moment and focus on every day experiences. You have the ability to slowly work through every negative judgement that you have until you see the positive in it. As you practice, it becomes second nature to you. A Clear Mind. What’s That? What you want to have is a clear mind. You want to let go of thoughts. Here’s an idea that you may not have noticed. Happy thoughts disappear out of your head automatically. It’s very easy to let go of them. On the other hand, negative thoughts linger. They play themselves out over and over and over. Normal daily experiences will trigger them and the record starts playing again. Over and over and over. We don’t let go. When you develop the skill to interpret the positive in everything – and you learn to do it quickly, you let it go. You let it go quickly and easily and you are on to the next joyful and positive thought. How do you do that? The usual stuff you have likely heard throughout your life. Get out in the sun. Spend more time in nature. Learn to smile more. Learn to hug more. Create outward representations of happiness. These actions are feedback loops. You are literally choosing to experience happiness and your world reflects it. Reality still contains every single aspect of negativity also. All you have to do is look for it. Reality contains it all, but it is your mind that is judging it all. Watch your mind. Watch your mind all day long as often as you think of it. Do not judge it. Do not try to control it. This is literally what it means to meditate 24/7. Watch your own thoughts like you would watch anything else in the outside world. Ask yourself, “why am I having that thought?” “Does that serve me anymore?” “Is that conditioning from when I was 10 years old?” Beware of “why am I having that thought? Is there something wrong with me? Should I be thinking something else?” And so on. That’s not the same thing. That kind of thinking is a disease that keeps you from being happy. Let’s say your mind is just running and running, imagining what you are going to say to this person or that person when next you Meet. Perhaps you start rehearsing what you will say to that person – you may even rehearse speaking to them about how your mind is running on and on imagining what you are going to say to them. This is kind of thinking indicates a habitual thought pattern. You may think it is out of your control. It is not. This line of thinking comes from the desire to sound smart. Not the desire to be smart. The desire to sound smart whether you know what you are talking about or not. It is a skill that was perfected at an earlier time in your life. That practiced skill hardwires you to always rehearse things to ensure you always sound smart. Literally, it’s a disease that keeps you from being happy. When you can see it – when you can realize that truth, when you understand it, your mind will naturally calm down. When you get there, you will stop rehearsing as much, though it will still be a trained habit. It will still clutter your mind from time to time. Keep at it. Note it. Be happy you noted it and it disappears. You don’t have to live out in the country on a lovely homestead to be peaceful and happy. I won’t deny it makes it much easier for me. It makes it much easier to maintain, though there are still many things that can disturb my peace. Scott and I chasing escaped goats comes to mind. We often disagree on the best approach to getting those guys back inside a fence. Afterwards, I choose to love him and he choose to love me – even though we both may have treated the other poorly during the crisis. Peace in our hearts is regained – re-established. Maybe someday peace will never elude us. I don’t know. Would we be bored then? Parmesan Peas Peas are not exactly peace but close. Especially peas straight out of the garden. And don’t forget that wonderful cheese. You can use frozen peas if you need to. However, this time of year, fresh peas make all the difference in the world. Here’s what you need. What you need: 2 tablespoons butter 3 small shallots, sliced 1-pound fresh peas, (14 oz bag of frozen, thawed) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese black pepper to taste What to Do: Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and a pinch of the salt and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the peas and remaining salt and cook until the peas are soft but still bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and toss. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan and black pepper. Serve hot. That’s it. Let that flavor of fresh peas bring peace to your tongue and tummy. Final Thoughts Life is about choice. We choose happiness. We choose peace. We choose love. I hope my words helped you gained some insight into how you can add just a little more peace to your life. And you’ll certainly want to add those lovely fresh peas to your life. Visit us at the Wytheville Farmer’s Market. We have dairy not peas, but others will be there with their lovingly grown products. Visit us and visit them. We look forward to meeting you.

What is your disorder? *Crohn's DiseaseAt what age did your disorder become a daily issue? *21Who were you before your illness became debilitating? *Adventurous World TravellerWhat would you do if you were not dealing with your invisible illness? *Spontaneous TravelWhat would you like people to know about your daily life? *I'm never quite sure when I wake up how the day will be. And I'm afraid of food.What would make living and moving in the world easier for you? *Ingredients lists on everything!Do you have any life hacks? *Lots. Most involve being really honest with people who need to know, and yet being subtle and discrete around the grossness with those who don't. It takes an incredible amount of mental resiliency to live with a chronic illness and helping those around you understand what to expect and where things are. There needs to be an incredible amount of trust between us when an illness is invisible. My family needs to know that I won't use my illness to "opt out" of things I don't want to do and that if I need to go back to bed for the day it's aboutWhat kind of support do you get from family or friends? *My family is amazing. My friend circle is a lot smaller than it was before, but the people left are really great.Have you ever had someone not believe you have an invisible illness because of your appearance? *Yes, in overt and subtle ways.Has this been a positive or negative experience? *Having to justify the hard choices my illness forces on me to some judgemental asshole sucksWould you care to relate the details of what happened when someone didn't believe you were disabled?The subtle disbelieving is harder and more emotionally painful than the overt stuff. It's easy to dismiss the ranting guy, but the "friend" that decides you are flaky because you keep cancelling, or the times when someone pushes back on a simple request because "you always use this fake disability to get your way" are really toxic and difficult, especially when they are co-workers or familyHow has your invisible illness affected your relationships? *I am a lot more choosy about who I give my time and energy to. My relationships are significantly deeper and stronger than they were beforeIs there anything you are afraid to tell even the people closest to you? *Not reallyDoes the fact that your disease is invisible change how healthcare professionals treat you? *It can when I first arrive.

Explore the Westminster Larger Catechism. “What Rules are to be observed for the right understanding of the Ten Commandments? Answer: For the right understanding of the ten commandments, these rules are to be observed: That the law is perfect, and binds everyone to full conformity in the whole man unto the righteousness thereof, and unto entire obedience forever; so as to require the utmost perfection of every duty, and to forbid the least degree of every sin. That it is spiritual, and so reaches the understanding, will, affections, and all other powers of the soul; as well as words, works, and gestures. That one and the same thing, in divers respects, is required or forbidden in several commandments. That as, where a duty is commanded, the contrary sin is forbidden; and, where a sin is forbidden, the contrary duty is commanded: so, where a promise is annexed, the contrary threatening is included; and, where a threatening is annexed, the contrary promise is included. That: What God forbids, is at no time to be done;: What he commands, is always our duty; and yet every particular duty is not to be done at all times. That under one sin or duty, all of the same kind are forbidden or commanded; together with all the causes, means, occasions, and appearances thereof, and provocations thereunto. That: What is forbidden or commanded to ourselves, we are bound, according to our places, to endeavor that it may be avoided or performed by others, according to the duty of their places. That in: What is commanded to others, we are bound, according to our places and callings, to be helpful to them; and to take heed of partaking with others in: What is forbidden them." Consider that by saying that the Law includes its opposite, the amount of content underneath it is broadened. Recal the possible views of the Whole Law: The Ten Commandments are the summary of the whole law; The Ten Commandments are a summary of the whole law; The Ten Commandments can be used as a summary of the whole law; or The Ten Commandments are not a summary of the whole law and should not be used as such. Explore Sin, Duty, and their Contraries. The Catechism uses the concept of duties and sins, and their opposites, to broaden the scope of the commandments. Duties regard commands and similar actions; Sins regard prohibited actions and their similar actions; Contraries are forbidden or commanded where they are not explicitly taught. Consider the broad and narrow views of the Law. The specific is the literal meaning. It is the clear meaning of the text and possibly additional meanings such as referenced by Christ in Sermon on the Mount. Consider the categorical meaning or intent application. Consider the extended meaning of the text as a summary of the law and extended application by a similar method as used in the Sermon on the Mount. Consider the literal intent, broader conceptual meaning and specific norms that loosely fit the concept.

Teams often seem to do everything in their power to resist change. Leaders are plagued with comments and complaints like these. Do any sound familiar? No one told me. This doesn’t work. I don’t understand why we have to do this! I keep forgetting. What are we supposed to do after the first part? The old way is way better! I’m not doing it! My clients are left feeling frustrated, dis-empowered and ready to throw in the towel, resigned to the fact that change will never happen. Once we dive in to the steps they took to make the change, however, it is easy to identify where they’ve missed some key elements. If you struggle to get your team to implement change here are six surefire strategies to create team change that sticks. Get Input Up Front:There are several reasons I recommend including employees before you design change. First, and most simply, you will have more buy in from your team if they participate in the design of the change. They will have a vested interest in achieving success. And, secondly, your employees have a unique perspective. They have valuable insights that can help you. Participation almost always yields better results. Unless you are with them all day every day there are elements of the job that you are unaware of. They are creating work arounds, overcoming challenges, connecting tasks in ways you are not aware. You want that knowledge and perspective BEFORE you design change. You will want to incorporate their ideas for a better result. Last, your team will feel acknowledged and respected if you ask for their opinions. Requiring change for a job they do daily without being consulted at all feels like a slap in the face. They will feel devalued. Ask their opinion and they will feel like an important part of the process. Communicate the Why’s and What’s:The Why: Why the change is happening. And if you have included them in the design of the change include the why’s of using or not using their suggestions. If you ask the questions it creates the expectation that you will actually use their opinions. If you can NOT you must acknowledge their suggestions, share your appreciation and express why you were not able to incorporate them.That What is what’s in it for them. This will provide some motivation for the change. Will they gain efficiency? Will their job become easier? Will they experience some job enrichment? Will they be able to provide better service and happier customers? Document Well Part of the design strategy for change should include documenting the change. What will be the new process? This will provide for visual learning and will be an important resource for training for initial roll out and on going. Acknowledge that Change Can be HardCall out the elephant in the room. Some of the resistance is resistance to change period and has nothing to do with whether the change will be good or bad. All change is stressful for some people. Show empathy, acknowledge it and then set the expectation that change will still happen. We must move on. If we didn’t embrace change all of us would still be using corded, rotary telephones. Does anyone even still own one of those? Deadline and Documentation for Read it, Know it, Own ItMany of my clients struggle to know whether an employee has received full communication about a change. They’ll roll out the change in a staff meeting and have no documentation about who was in attendance. Or, in larger organizations the communication has happened over email. They aren’t sure whether it was read or digested. I always recommend creating a roll out process that can be documented with specific deadlines for “Read it, Know it, Own it.”If you use email, for instance, include a deadline by which every employee must read it, understand, ask questions if necessary and then implement fully. Require them to send you an email response indicating they have read and fully understand the change.If you roll out a change in a staff meeting make sure to document who is there and then provide the documentation about the change in an email or a binder after the meeting for those who were not in attendance. Again, give a deadline for playing catch up from the missed meeting. They must get with you the leader, talk to a co-worker, read and understand, do whatever is necessary to gain a full understanding of the change by the deadline. Request that they sign a log or send you an email when the task is fully complete.Following a procedure like this will help you avoid the, “No one told me” excuse. They are responsible for Reading it, Knowing it, Owning it – or asking questions if they must. Hold Them AccountableOnce an employee has acknowledged reading, knowing, owning hold them accountable for adhering to the change. Give a little grace if there is a learning curve and your team is trying to make the transition smoothly. But stick with it and don’t let them slide back. Do ask whether they have any input for required tweeks. Sometimes the design of change is not fully achieved without a trial and error period. A complaint must include an idea for how to make it better. Click To Apply For A FREE Leadership Breakthrough Session With Kirsten Today!
