Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Dream Big Podcast. I'm so glad we're talking. I hope it's been a great week for you.

And I know that this could be super stressful time for so many people, for so many reasons.

And every once in a while, you get a chance to have a break from this stress.

And I know better person to like bring us back to like a realization that we are loved by God.

He is nuts about us than my friend Ann Voskamp.

And welcome to the podcast.

It is so good to be with you, Bob. It's so good to be with your listeners' presence. He heals us in deep deep ways.

I just think this is great. I know everybody that knows you just can count on like your very calming voice, demeanor, and everything.

Deep love for God, for people that don't know you.

Tell us a little bit about what it feels like to be you these days because you're not like, I think people are thinking you're in like some big city somewhere and talking.

Tell me like that straighten them out.

I am speaking, Bob, you're in the, you're in sunny California, yes?

Yeah, yeah. I'm out of the oaks today. We had a group that just laughed and another group's coming.

And so I ran up here and I get to talk to you from the oaks.

Okay. So Bob is in sunshine. I was just saying to my husband this morning, I don't know if the sun exists anymore.

Because I am right now in Ontario, Canada in the month that middleing of winter we've had.

I mean, it's been a mild winter, but it has been so great. So the thought of sunny California appeals to me deeply.

Bob, we live on a farm and we have, we've got a thousand baby piglets all the time out in our bar.

We have seven beautiful children that range in age from eight to 27.

And I'm currently sitting right now in my little tiny house surrounded by sheep. So not suburbia Bob.

Oh, I love that. This really paints a beautiful picture.

And then from there, you've written like four or five New York type of specialers, but you've also written a children's book.
