EPISODE 146 AFFIRMATION BLINDNESS Jun 30, 2023
Friday Jun 30, 2023
Friday Jun 30, 2023
It is not death that a man should fear,but he should fear never beginning to live.- Marcus Aurelius
This episode dives into affirmation blindness which I believe occurs when we intentionally or unintentionally surrenders a portion of our identity to be accepted by others for a number of reasons and what I believe are the consequences of said surrendering.

THE VALUE OF EMBRACING DIVERSITY ADDS TO THE CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD AND THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY

THE VALUE EMBRACING DIVERSITY ADDS TO CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD a conversation with Father Anne
Her bio: Father Anne was ordained on October 16, 2021 in Albuquerque, NM through the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests and is now an independent Roman Catholic priest. She has a deep love of the Society of Jesus and Ignatian spirituality, which blossomed over twelve years of ministering with Jesuits. She earned a Master of Divinity from Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, CA, and has worked in several parishes in the Jesuits West Province.
Father Anne has participated in a wide range of ministries, including coordinating liturgy, designing faith formation for young adults, organizing parish events, leading retreats, providing spiritual direction, and supporting the LGBTQ community and family ministries. Anne also ran a Jesuit parish as Pastoral Associate. She also has a love of pastoral care, including walking with those who are homebound or close to the end of life. As part of her commitment to the care of creation, Anne rescues senior dogs with special needs and gives them life with dignity through their last days. Her deepest desire is to be a parish priest in the institutional Church.
In addition to her formation in the Catholic Church, Father Anne has a Master’s degree in Rhetoric and Writing Studies from San Diego State University, along with 24 years of experience in strategic communications, professional writing, and marketing and promotions. She harnesses this background in working for a priesthood that welcomes women.
Deeply grounded in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, Father Anne has a passionate interest in participating in the discernment of what the next era of the Roman Catholic Church will look like. While many have understandably walked away from the Roman Catholic Church, Father Anne obeys the call of the Holy Spirit to collaborate with God on the project of equality within one of the most powerful institutions in the world.

BE YOUR OWN CATALYST FOR SELF CHANGE
Sunday Apr 30, 2023
Sunday Apr 30, 2023
I'm John Leister. I'm fifty-six and I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. About three years ago, I hit emotional-bottom and reached out to God. Since then, my life has changed in the following ways: I'm no longer addicted to sugar. My weight has gone from 235 lbs. to 170 lbs. I work-out regularly: weight-lifting, yoga and long, daily walks. I've renewed old friendships and made many new ones on Facebook.

BLACK COWBOYS ARE AMERICAN HISTORY BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2023
Saturday Feb 11, 2023
Saturday Feb 11, 2023
The term cowboy was initially used as a racial insult as a substitute for the negative word “boy” that Southerners and some whites in America used to describe men of color, African-American until it was appropriated by white Americans.
According to the book The Negro Cowboys by Philip Durham & Everett L. Jones, “They numbered thousands, among them many of the best riders, ropers, and wranglers.”
Contrary to Hollywood and American literature depictions of the American cowboy some historians estimate that 20 to 25 % of all cowboys were African-American,Black, Some of them were women such as Stagecoach Mary America's who according to history.com. was the first African-American mail carrier
A photo of her graces this podcast.
The exploits of many other African-American cowboys are covered in the BLACK COWBOYS OF THE OLD WEST by Tricia Martineau Wagner.
