Podcast Mod 1: Accountability

Accountability is not a bad word, but for many reasons it can make people squirm when they hear it. Instead, it should be a lifestyle to embrace. When we live a life filled with consistent accountability, more peace and joy enters our presence and it also has positive effects on others. Over the years I have learned quite a bit from positive experiences with accountability, but I have learned even more from the challenging experiences. Most of all, I have learned the most from watching my dogs!

Podcast Mod 2: Celebrating Differences

Could it be that whether you think we are making progress in celebrating differences or not, that you are correct? I say this in exactly the case as it is all in our own perception and actions. Granted there are plenty of things in our world to look at and say either we are making strides or not, but each of us has the power to make a huge difference is this important area of life.

Podcast Mod 3: Compassion

I have come to believe that compassion is what makes the world go around and if it stops, so will the world. Compassion is the most important quality one can have and the attribute we should spend the most time improving. My Pit Bull Shelby has acted as a therapy dog for many years and has spread more compassion than most humans do in a lifetime! She is a very special individual but how she acts in a compassionate way is something we can all learn from.

Podcast Mod 4: Conflict Resolution

Unless you plan on living totally alone every day of your life, you will run into some conflict and the need to not only resolve it but make it work in a positive way. All too often, we run from conflict with the hope it will just go away. Truth is when we avoid conflict, it usually gets worse! Once again my canine friends can give us some insight into resolving conflict more effectively and living with more peace.

03 Conflict Resolution 3: Is it really personal?

Podcast Mod 5: Living In The Moment

Living in the moment is one of those things that sounds very easy but it is everything but. Like eating right and keeping physically fit, although it sounds easy, it isn’t.  We need to live in the moment more consistently to live a passionate and enjoyable life. Dogs are top examples of living in the moment so we need to follow their lead. So, slip on a leash and let a dog walk us through the way to live each moment with purpose.

01 Live in the Moment 1: Each second is gift to cherish
02 Live in the Moment 2: Resist staring ahead or behind
03 Live in the Moment 3: Be here NOW
04 Live in the Moment 4: I can see clearly now

Podcast Mod 6: Respect

We all seek more respect and no matter how much we get, it seems like we always feel we deserve more. Sorry to say, we are usually wrong, or if we are right, we still might not get it! In order to get more respect, we first need to start with that nice looking person in the mirror. Are we doing right be ourselves? Once we answer this question, our canine friends will come through as they always do, providing us valuable insight into the subject of respect.

01 Respect 1: Do you respect the person in the mirror?
02 Respect 2: There are no guarantees or free passes.
