Little people at nursery and hubbie at work so was able to sit and listen to your podcast in peace (& with a mug of tea). A spot of tranquility in my day...

Great to hear you muse again.... love your thoughts and insights (and the noise of Louis or you typing has never bothered me.... made the production feel more real).

Suggestions.... would love to hear a little bit more about your education. How are you finding it being a more mature student (any different from undertaking education at a younger age)? How do you balance study with all your other activities? The discipline of writing? How do you work? How do you get over writers block and procrastination? Do you hand-write your assignments/lesson notes or straight to keyboard? Currently studying for my PhD and loving the freedom of education in my 30s as I actually want to be there (as opposed to school where I was forced to study). Sorry rambling now...!

Hope the surgery goes well...

I loved this podcast! It was so laid back in a good way. It was almost like having a conversation.

I thought a bit about your concern about the blog not having enough about everyday tranquility. While you sometimes write about your daily activities, I often find it inspiring.

I love Globetrotting Cacti's idea, esp. since I too am a doctoral student. I always looking for new ways to destress, find tranquility, find time, and have creative new ideas.

Btw, Fall in Upstate NY is beautiful!

Hi Kimberly-
on the podcast you asked for some podcasts that we listen to... one of my faves is Speaking of Faith- it is a really thoughtful discussion of spiritual issues and interviews with inspiring people from all faiths. You may be interested.
