| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 3, 2020 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to |
| 0:09.2 | day six of this week's series as you navigate a brand new year and I wonder how things are |
| 0:17.6 | coming along for you. We are just a few days into this new first week of the year and you've had a pretty |
| 0:27.8 | busy time here if you've been a regular listener of this week's series. |
| 0:32.8 | You are challenged to do three things |
| 0:36.8 | to carry with you throughout this year. |
| 0:38.9 | One of them was to select a word to represent your year to help anchor you and you also were |

| 2:21.0 | It's something you have to prepare for. It's not necessarily going to come so easily. You have to do a little prep and it takes you on a journey. |
| 2:31.0 | And many of you shared that your quests are to travel somewhere and you want to |
| 2:41.2 | learn the language or some of the customs. |
| 2:46.4 | When I mentioned that many people like to cook meals, |
