Have you ever wondered if a gentle approach can truly be more powerful than force? Inspired by the wisdom of my 95-year-old mother-in-law, Anna, I explore the timeless fable of "The North Wind and the Sun," a story she recounts with such elegance and clarity. This episode promises to illuminate the enduring debate between power and persuasion, revealing how warmth and kindness can achieve outcomes that sheer force cannot. With Anna's remarkable memory and insight as a guiding light, this tale becomes a poignant reminder of the strength found in gentleness.
As we journey through this enchanting fable together, we're reminded of the power of kindness in our daily lives. Embrace the moral of this story, which teaches that gentle persuasion often triumphs where aggression and bluster fail. In today's world, where forceful tactics can seem pervasive, let's rediscover the transformative power of warmth and compassion. I'm Lisa Hopkins, encouraging you to stay safe, healthy, and to remember the importance of living in the moment. Sending love and light to all my dear listeners.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review! Word of mouth is incredibly impactful and your support is much appreciated!

What if grief could be your greatest teacher? Join me as I honor my mom's memory and explore the unexpected gifts that grief has bestowed upon my life. In a heartfelt episode, I read a special segment from my book, The Places When There Are Spaces, where I reflect on the chapter "The Gifts in Grief." Through vivid recollections of the autumn of 2018, I share how my mother's passion for dance continues to inspire me, and ponder the moments we might have shared together. From imagining her first tap class to talking about my new apartment in New York City, her presence is felt in every step I take.
As I brace for the seventh anniversary of her passing, I find solace in the strength and resilience I've uncovered through loss. I encourage listeners who have experienced similar journeys to seek the hidden lessons and growth that can emerge from grief. With immense gratitude, I celebrate the deepened bond with my dad and the everlasting love of a mother that remains a guiding force in my life. Join me as I light her mosaic candle and raise a glass to her enduring presence, cherishing each moment and embracing her magic that continues to illuminate my path.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!

What if your home was not just a place to live, but a living, breathing extension of your very essence? Inspired by the poignant words of Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet," I, Lisa Hopkins, invite you on a journey through the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of what it means to call a place home. We uncover Gibran's insightful vision of houses that inspire freedom and untamed passion, challenging the notion that comfort should define our living spaces. Through his eloquent prose, we are urged to see our homes as masts that propel us forward, not anchors that hold us back, and to fill our spaces not just with objects, but with peace, beauty, and meaningful memories.
This episode asks you to reflect deeply on what you truly hold within the walls of your home. Are they shelters of peace and beauty, or merely fortresses of comfort that stifle the soul's yearning for freedom? As we explore Gibran's poetic call to live restlessly within rest, we delve into the idea of letting your spirit dwell in the vastness of the sky, unconfined by physical boundaries. Join me in embracing the wisdom of Gibran, and let his words inspire you to live in the moment, with a newfound understanding of the profound essence of home. Stay safe and healthy, and allow this exploration to resonate with you as it has with me.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!
