This week, the results of an small "experiment" for both Bill and Vicki... keeping a journal for the week! There weren't any rules aboiut it... just write something - anything - every day for the week since the last podcast. We're happy to report that both our hosts did indeed write something every day, and this week they're back to talk about the experience.

How did it go? Good enough that both Vicki and Bill indicate they want to continue the journaling "thing" ... yet perhaps not every day. Perhaps when inspiration strikes, or something journal-worthy comes up. As the old restaurant line said, "No rules... just right"

Tune in to see how it all went, and continues to go!

Thanks again for joining us!

This week, something new. While Bill and Vicki have suggested "homework" for listeners in the past, this week they're giving themselves some homework. A bit of a challenge, as is popular on social media these days.

It's all about journaling. Both Bill and Vicki are taking up the challenge of writing something - anything - down on paper (yes, real paper and ink / pencil) for a week, starting with this week's show. They'll check in next week and see how the experiement worked.

Do you do journaling? A lot of people do. We talk about it on this week's show. How (honesty) it hasn't been something that's been a priority for either Bill or Vicki over the years of personal growth. Will that change? We'll see!

Thanks again for joining us!

With credit to a post on the "UpWorthy" blog, this week Bill and Vicki talk about some rules of life that you might not want to admit are true, but they certainly are. Here's a sample of one of the rules: "Some friendships will not last." Challenging, but true.

As always, it's how we deal with the "uncomfortable truths" of life that set us up for success, happiness and more ... or the opposite. It's about being aware of what we're going through, and another of those rules: "Everything is temporary."

We're setting the intention this week that even if some of life's "rules" can seem a bit harsh, there's always a good life lesson and "learnable moment" in everything. Yes, everything!

Thanks again for joining us!

Lots of great talk about - and "nuts and bolts" ways to implement - gratitude in your life. Bill quotes a big study that showed (and continues to show) the ongoing, real-life physical health benefits of being in a better state fo gratitude about your life, and the world in general. Powerful ideas about being a little more positive and optimistic...

Of course there's more, including those little "lessons and learnings" from the Universe we talk about each week. For Bill, it's been an on-going life-lesson about setting, maintaining and communicating boundaries to himself and those around him.

This week, a deeper dive into the idea of "being your own best friend." Sometimes it takes a hard, direct look into the mirror ... not to berate yourself for the negatives in your life, but to recognize the goodness "in there" and to celebrate the little everyday wins in life.

Also, Bill quotes from a great post on men doing the personal development "thing." How - as men - there's often the desire to do more, get more, work harder. That's not always the best way to grow, and we'll talk about some other (we feel, better) options.

This week, a small podcast-based celebration of Bill's birthday! Yay! Another successful trip around the sun. (Plenty of thanks and gratitude for that...)

More this week on setting up, speaking about and most importantly, enforcing "boundaries." It won't always be be easy... Bill has a good story on that, taken from his real-life experience of the past few weeks. Yet it's definitely worth the work and challenge it may present. Tune in for some ideas and tools for making boundaries work in your life.

Also, the power of "OK." Yes, it sounds pretty boring, pretty "meh," as some people say... yet that simple word (is "OK" a word?) can be so powerful and helpful in everyday life. Check out the show to see how Vicki and Bill put it to work.

There's more as well... you're just going to have to listen in to find out what it is!

We've decided to make it a "thing" every week... our little opening story or "Lesson from the Universe." What have we learned - or simply been shown - by the universe in the past week that's made an impression on us. Might be good... might be a little negative. Doesn't matter. Bill and Vicki believe that everything that happens to us in this life has something to learn from, something to grow from. What's that been for you this week?

Also, Bill found a wonderful article (see the link below) talking about setting personal boundaries in life, even if you are the person that "everyone depends on." For Bill, there's some personal / inward connection as well, as he's working on some "boundary issues" of his own, for himself. A little weird, yes, but check it out.

BTW, big thanks and shout-out to this blog for the "boundaries" info: https://carachace.com/blog/time-management-people-pleasers

A couple of new ideas for the new year for the show...

First, we want to start off every "step" (our word for episode) of the show with the thought / idea / intention of the week. Sometimes funny, sometimes powerful, usually something in between. Something to chat about as we get the show started.

Also, along those same lines, we're adding another quick check-in for Vicki and Bill, and for you, too. What has the Universe (or Spirit, or God...whatever your prefer), sent to you this week as a learning experience or "teachable moment."

Both Vicki and Bill are fans of the idea that virtually everything that happens to us / with us each and every day is a learning experience of some sort. Something to learn and grown from! Again, we're going to use this portion of the show to check in with ourselves, and see what can be learned and benefitted from along the way.

There's more as well... you're just going to have to listen in to find out what it is!
