Today I share some stories of 'synchronicities' or signs. We don't have to figure out the 'why' -- sometimes that's really well above our pay grade. But it's fun to pay more attention to these 'universe' whispers because they tell us that reality is not really as black-and-white as it seems.

Today I share another one of Cara Bradley's Sparks 'Oh the Haters.' The question is -- are we afraid of the real haters (of whom I believe there are very few) or the idea that their may be some haters out there -- folks who might hit a nerve and say the thing we are most afraid of? This episode may not solve the 'fear' problem but we can at least address the elephant in the room!

Today I share a really great JOY SCHOOL question (and some responses) that was submitted prior to Thanksgiving but is very relevant for this period of holiday gatherings. Because sometimes we all future trip and catastrophize about getting together with folks we haven't seen in a while.

Today I share two poems from poet Hannah Rosenberg from her recently published book of poems Same. I love these two poems -- I can't tell you how often I've read them. They are perfect for this month of gatherings and holiday meals!

It's tough making new friends as you get older -- sometimes I think there should be a dating app but just to make new friends. I've made some new friends lately and I'm thrilled. Let's talk about friendship and the process of really getting to know new people.
