Hey friends, welcome to the Rhythms for Life Podcast, where each week we talk about rhythms for

building resilience, so you can take charge of your mental, spiritual, and relational health.

These ideas come from Rebecca's best-selling book Building a Resilient Life,

How Adversity Awakened Strength, Hope, and Meaning. So grab your copy, invite your friends,

and let's build resilience together.

Welcome back, I'm Rebecca, and I'm doing this intro solo, Gapes Traveling,

and I'm just so excited about this month. First of all, Down syndrome Awareness Month,

which is always a big deal in our home because what that means is that I go back through my

camera roll and find all these fun videos of the kids from the past few months, and sometimes

we even go back further than that, and so I've been doing that a lot with the kids on my phone,

enjoy, we'll watch the videos, we'll be like, aww, aww, so cute, aww, look, look a kid, look at me,

it's so fun. So we did do a couple of reels about them, if you want to go to Instagram or Facebook,

we posted some fun, fun memories of them, and we'll plan to continue to do that through the month

of October, but one thing we're doing at home right now with both Kate and Joy, because this is our

new era of time with Kate and Joy, as we're doing basketball on the driveway, and we are really

trying to up Kate's dribble game, which is pretty good, and Joy takes on the role of cheerleader,

and so she's like, good job, Kate, and then she'll kind of do a big cheer and yell, and they

are just keeping life fun for Kate and I, and I have to say, I didn't know what it would be like,

which is the two of them, with Pearson Kennedy Off at College in two different states, but

it's been really, really sweet, and so we enjoyed a few days together for fall break last week,

and now we're all back at it. So anyways, what I'm so excited about today is that you have heard,

if you've been listening this fall, we have our Resilient Rhythms retreat next month, November 16th
