About this listen

This show has to do with different kinds of creation: human, divine, and a third kind that connects the two. Our human creativity is easy to talk about because clearly we're prolific creators. We make music, we write, we cook; we establish businesses, we design gardens, we invent things. The list goes on and on. Another kind of creation is divine. We feel its presence when, for example, we contemplate birth, death, our life purpose, or have a quiet realization that there's something bigger than us. The third kind is perhaps a little more difficult to grasp and yet, with a little practice, it's easy to put into action. This is the personal power each of us has to direct our thoughts, words and actions every day toward what we want in our life and world, rather than what we don't want.


This sounds heavier than it is. For me, this show is an acknowledgment that while we're all here to learn and grow and do our best, there's still plenty of opportunity to relax, laugh, love, and enjoy this playground we call life. So my hope is that you'll get some enjoyment and illumination out of these episodes. Here you'll find interviews with delightfully creative individuals; short stories about some who have passed away; and essays about personal power.


I'm Kate Jones, host and creator of Everyday Creation. Thank you for following my show.

  • The Courage to Embrace Your Second Act

    The Courage to Embrace Your Second Act
    Jul 26 2025

    Patricia Falvey left a successful and financially rewarding career in accounting to do what she always wanted: write full time. She made this her second act and encourages others who have a dream to do all they can to pursue it.

    This episode is an excerpt from my full interview with Falvey titled "Author Patricia Falvey on Being Brave, Resilient, and Focused on Your Dream."

    There are also three other excerpts: "Five Books and Counting: the Novels of Patricia Falvey," "Always a Writer at Heart," and "Goodness, Resilience and Paying it Forward."

    To learn more about Falvey's books, visit patriciafalveybooks.com. And if you read one or all, please write a review.

  • Goodness, Resilience and Paying It Forward

    Goodness, Resilience and Paying It Forward
    Jul 25 2025

    This episode is an excerpt from a longer interview with the novelist Patricia Falvey, a former accountant who now writes historical fiction. Here, we talk specifically about her latest book, "The Famine Orphans," which sounds like downer of a story but isn't because the focus is on the characters' resilience and their resistance to being victims of circumstance. We also comment in general how we all have the power to spread more kindness and joy in the world.

    To hear more, go to the full interview titled "Author Patricia Falvey on Being Brave, Resilient, and Focused on Your Dream" (Episode 116).

    The other excerpts are titled "Five Books and Counting: the Novels of Patricia Falvey," "The Courage to Embrace Your Second Act" and "Always a Writer at Heart."

  • Always a Writer at Heart

    Always a Writer at Heart
    Jul 24 2025

    Patricia Falvey had a successful 30-year career in accounting, yet what she really wanted was to become a full-time writer. After taking a leap of faith to pursue her dream, she's happier and already has had five books published: "The Yellow House," "The Linen Queen," "The Girls of Ennismore," "The Titanic Sisters," and her latest, "The Famine Orphans." All five novels have a connection to Ireland, where she lived with her grandmother until she was about 8.

    This episode is an excerpt from a longer interview. To hear more, go to the full interview titled "Author Patricia Falvey on Being Brave, Resilient, and Focused on Your Dream." To listen to Falvey's descriptions of her historical novels, you can go to Episode 117 titled "Five Books and Counting: the Novels of Patricia Falvey."

    Two other excerpts will be published later this week: "Goodness, Resilience and Paying it Forward" and "The Courage to Pursue Your Second Act."

    To learn more about Falvey's books, visit patriciafalveybooks.com. And if you read one or all, please write a review.
