Before I jump into today's episode about hurt feelings,

I want to thank you for your patience as I learn how to navigate

this podcast territory which is all new to me from being a sound engineer to

producing quality recordings despite challenging limitations, like finding a quiet time to tape the show.

It may sound like I'm in a professional recording studio, but I'm in my RV parked at a friend's driveway,

surrounded by the sound of lawn mowers, leaf blowers, hedge trimmers,

traffic, barking dogs, car alarms, helicopters, sirens, and even an airport just a couple of blocks away.

So there is a lot of post-production work that goes into each session

and I'm slowly learning to balance volume with clarity and content with brevity. I very much appreciate your support

through Patreon and for sharing these shows with your friends on Facebook or YouTube.

Thank you for taking that much needed five minute break during the day to pause, reflect, and continue on more peacefully than before.

Since we're going to talk about feelings, I took part of a guided meditation exercise that I spoke of

extensively during my first book tour and I want to share the just of it with you as

a means by which to lay the foundation of how our minds control our feelings

instead of the other way around.

We were first instructed to sit comfortably, close our eyes, and think back to a very sad moment in our lives.

We were invited to recall the texture, sounds, and smells of that memory.

Who was with us? Where were we? And revisit that time. of that

time, time with as much detail as possible.
