Once upon a perfect fall afternoon, two birds decided to teach me some important lessons. Tune into this episode of Mindblowingly Mundane to listen to this special story.  It is not uncommon to leave a little bit of water for birds in the summer, no matter where in the world you are.  And the next time you do, I hope my little anecdote makes you smile.

 Every spring a Cherry Blossom tree at a parking lot tells me a story. It is the same story, but it never seems to get old.  Tune in to find out exactly what it says and why the delicate blooms are much more than the seasonal "happily ever after" cliched fairy tale !  Music Credits: www.bensound.com Inspiration Credits: A Cherry Blossom Tree  Trunk ! 

What have your experiences been with truths that are different from yours? Did they conflict, collide or coalesce? Did they reinforce your own truths better for you and solidify your journey? Or did they make you question your views and make you take a long hard look and do some resets in your mind ? 

Tune in to this episode of Mindblowingly Mundane to find out the meaning behind the word Isha that spans some pretty expansive views culturally, and find out how this one word helped me personally to reconcile truths in a world that seems so ready to thrive in strife and conflict.

What do motion, stillness, and surviving a pandemic have in common with a little ballerina doing her pirouettes and her mother trying her best not to fall off the Tree Pose in Yoga?  Well, you will just have to tune in to find out now, won't you?

Today we talk about the incense stick. No, not so much the fragrance, but rather the form, with which it spreads. Notice how it always rises up? Ever wonder what analogy one may find in life with something so obvious? Tune in to get a whiff and more !

Two half knit pieces of fabric, two pairs of knitting needles, and two balls of yarn, all continents apart, spin an interesting tale in this episode. Do listen in when you have a few minutes to spare, and are looking to pause in the midst of the ordinary to find that bit of "extra'. While you may or may not want to take up knitting, I guarantee you a smile. !

Have you ever wondered what motivates an individual to start on the most unexpected journeys and see them through completion? Is it because of their situations and circumstances, or their own drive to take on new challenges? Do such people only exist on the glossy covers of magazines or are they regular human beings like you and I ? 

Tune in to this very special episode of Mindblowingly Mundane to learn about an artist, a dancer, a mom, a commercial ( Semi ) truck driver and a hiker ... oh wait, did I mention, they are all one person?  Yes my dear friend for several years now, Mindy Olsen, is all of those things and more, and what makes her so? 

Well you will  just have to hear it from this amazing lady herself  !  And yes there is a song involved !

A story of the most unlikely of friendships, in the most unlikely of places, and then a love story, too real for cliches !  Do tune in to my podcast not for the immaculate pink hearts and expensive chocolate this Valentine's Day, but rather a mindblowingly mundane picture of love. I will let you decide if you found it perfectly imperfect, or imperfectly perfect ?
