66: Mindfulness Meditation My Way

May 19, 2020 13:09 - 25 minutes - 35 MB

Mindfulness Meditation is the act of bringing your thoughts into the present moment, being in the 'now' and quieting those racing thoughts we all have running through our minds. I do my own type of Mindfulness Meditation by going out with my camera, recorder, and focus on searching for then finding subjects to occupy my mind at that moment, on that specific subject. Join me as I take you on a walk where I relax my mind and focus on the now. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/...

Sometimes it's ok to not have a particular purpose at a particular time. Sometimes it ok just to be in the moment, kind of like driving in a truck, having a conversation about nothing, with not one in particular, heading nowhere specifically, just Rambling On! It's what we do in the episode, take a ride to nowhere, and talk about whatever pops up. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/finding-subjects-podcast/message

Today we talk to 'Blondie', who simply loves people so much she loves to give a hug, if they don't mind of course.  Unfortunately for Blondie and many others, these are times where social distancing ...

Epsode 49: Finding Your Purpose

November 18, 2019 14:38 - 23 minutes - 32 MB

What is the purpose in your life? I ask this question often since it directly relates with my faith. As Christians we are supposed to live our lives to serve God, and yet most of us serve only ourselves. With this in mind, I basically call myself out daily, asking 'Am I doing with my life what God wants of me?' That doesn't mean I am some holier-than-thou saint walking the earth doing miracles. It's just the opposite, I am an ordinary man trying to find that path my faith says I should be on...
