Earth to Ash Episode # 46 – Something’s A “Mist”

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I’m on my first feel-good Spring walk smiling like something’s a “mist.” Like today’s beautiful damp grey foggy day as Mother Nature starts to clean up after winter. I can relate to days like this, have a listen as I will tell you how. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.

Enjoy!!

A Shade of Ash # 55 – Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

Hey everyone,

You know how I’m always promoting Newfoundland and Labrador in some way, shape, or form, right? Well, I just thought why not share more given it is St. Patty’s Day. It’s a big deal around here, so allow me to showcase some traditional Newfoundland and Labrador music for you. A taste of the music that’s likely being played in every local pub and bar around the island on a day like today. There is no scarcity of people singing at the top of their lungs, playing traditional instruments including the ugly stick(*see below), getting three sheets to the wind and toasting each other with a few too many green beers. I hope you enjoy these traditional tunes, and they should give you a good sense of how deep our Irish roots are. Let me know your favourite and CHEERS!!!

Earth to Ash Podcast Episode # 44 – Feb Up With Winter

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I’m on a walk being “feb” up with winter. But the one thing that being out in the elements does for me is make me think about the journey. The journey in life toward something special. We still have a long way to go, but don’t forget to turn around sometimes to see how far we’ve already come. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I’m driving toward the city on an errand while shifting my motivational thinking into high gear.

And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.
