Yessing and Noing to the Life we Want to Live

We are capable people, friends, so we get asked to do a bunch of stuff.  And we have great thoughts about what we can do to help others!  There is so much  we can do… but we can also be mindful of what overextending ourselves does to our personhood.  We can yes and no our way to the life that we want to live that gives space for deep moments of connection.  In this episode of “To Be Fair…” we think about these things and live toward our good life for ourselves, our families and our world.  May it be so for you and for me.

I talk a bit about Marcus Borg in this episode.  Here is a link to his foundation.  I love the opening words:  “Experience of God, not belief in God is the invitation of Christianity.”  Sooo good.  Thanks be.

Thanks for growing with me, friends.  Cheers to intentional yessing and noing.

Reducing One Thing for the Good of the Planet

Let’s not get overwhelmed about all that is possible to do for our environment and just pick one thing to do to make the planet more healthy.  This week we give seven ideas of little things to do to reduce our consumption of single use items.

Here were a couple of references from the show:

Wool Dryer Balls from Connected, our Fair Trade store

Beeswax Wraps from lots of places, but here is one

How to Live with Whole Hearts

From one of Paul’s letters to an early church to Dr. Brené Brown, we can pull from thoughtful people who have been encouraging us to live wholeheartedly.  How to do it?  Listen in to this episode of To Be Fair… and spend time dwelling in Dr. Brown’s work.

Dr. Brown’s website is here.  On her homepage she has a section that suggests what order to read her books if you are interested in doing so.

Dr. Brown has been a guest of Oprah on her Super Soup Sunday Podcast a few times as well as on the Good Life Project.  I highly recommend listening to not just Dr. Brown on these podcasts, but to all the episodes.  🙂  She’s probably been on many, many podcasts so just enjoy searching around for her.

Lastly, Dr. Brown has HIGHLY beloved TED Talks. There are multiple so just search for the ones that draw you in the most.

Cheers for all the good!!
