Replay from 2018: My Christmas Wish for Our World (EP021)
My Christmas Wish is that we bring compassion, love, and kindness to our daily lives. Let gratitude be our guide to sharing positive and kind energy with those around us. Let's get off autopilot. Let's share the goodness from within our hearts. It will change the world.

Nine years ago, a tragedy shook America. Yet, not much has changed to prevent it from happening again. Today, I say their names. It's my first step in learning how I may contribute to the solution of stopping violence. Each of us has the power to contribute to the solution. The question is: "Will we step up?"

EP045 The Power of Story
We, humans, are hardwired for story. Our brains crave connection. I learned that if a story does not have an ending -- or if the ending is unclear -- our brains, looking for logic, create an ending to the story. Humans need stories and connections as much as we need oxygen. Let's use this time to reach out to family and friends -- let's all share our narratives with each other. It's powerful!

Such a delight to chat with Heather Stadler. Having introverted tendencies, Heather found ways to begin advocating three years ago. Writing comes naturally to her, so that was the beginning. Official Fat Vegan is Heather's channel on Instagram. She represents those of us who strive to be genuine, kind, and effective in our advocacy. Heather succeeds by all accounts. I continue to be inspired by her example as an introvert working hard to make our world a more compassionate place.

EP035 Book Review: QUIET by Susan Cain
Book Review: QUIET, The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. In 2012, Susan Cain published this 333-page masterpiece -- the “go-to” resource for the inside scoop on why some of us tend to be introspective, quiet, reserved, wise thinkers. Susan encourages Introverts to nurture and celebrate their inner strengths and gifts. She gives us permission to value our personality traits – even if society often doesn’t. I encourage you to get a copy if you or someone you love is Introverted. This book is life-changing!

EP028 Saving Baby Birds
This is a story about compassion for our feathered friends. As a child, I sat by my grandmom as she taught me about songbirds. She would say: "Listen, Dee... that's a cardinal." And she sang back to the birds as they visited her South Carolina yard. Bird lovers know how extraordinary and intelligent our winged friends are. This story comes from my heart - forged from the gratitude of many precious years with grandmom. It's my story of compassion for the bird community.

Recently while Googling Susan Cain, who is the well-known expert on Introverts, I found her interview by Tim Ferriss (his podcast episode 357).

Very helpful for both men and women to hear how others handle living in an extroverted world. Also excellent discussion about their writing process and their individual strategies.

My First Tweet
It was a hot summer day in 2014. After months of brainstorming for ways to advocate for folks with hearing loss, I was ready to take a big leap. But as an introvert, reaching out to strangers was unnerving. A bit daunting for sure. Just to be clear, I’m usually fine with one-on-one interactions. Small talk can be tedious for introverts, but if the topic of conversation is something we adore, we could talk your ears off… All.Week.Long.
