HALLMARK - The Lost Episode
You'll never guess what we found under the ideas cafe tree? An unreleased episode from Christmas 2020!!! If you've ever wondered what John thinks about Hallmark movies, you've just won the "Did he really just say that? Lottery."
(Season#1 Finale) FEEDBACK
Giving and receiving personal/professional critique is dangerously important work.
PARDON
Does forgiveness have a place in our lives and in our society?
CARTS
Shopping carts. What you do with them in the parking lot might have something to say about who you really are!
WAITING
Right here...right now...between the inhale and exhale. It's the place where life is found.
UNTITLED
Sometimes serendipidy is best left a mystery.
CHANGE
Only poopie babies like change. It's true. So how do we make real change stick?
EXPECTATIONS
Managing our own is perhaps one of lifes greatest challenges.
DICHOTOMY
When either/or simply isn't the best question.
ATTRACTION
Call it chemistry. Call it vibing. There is no denying that we are drawn to certain things about others.
ABSENCE
Never take down a fence until you know why it was put up in the first place.
NOURISH
What happens at the table SHOULDN'T stay at the table.
FEAR
What would it look like if we embraced our fear rather than ran from it?
WORDS
Careful. Careless. Life. Death. Pleasure and pain. Words are so much more than the letters strung together to make sounds.
CHOCOLATE
The opposite of love is not hate.
CARRYING
Why carry someone else's pain? And how?
STEPS
"Given the choice to go back and get rid of all the painful times…I wouldn’t do it. Why? Those were the only things that strengthened me.”
IF
It's time to quit dropping the IF BOMBS on each other!
(Inaugural episode) NORMAL
Do you really want to go back to normal? Has the Covid-19 experience created character in you, or revealed what was already there?
