Rainbows, Potholes & Nuggets of Gold

Every time I watch the movie, Secretariat, and I watch it often, I am inspired by this woman who stood firm on what she believed, what she felt in her soul, even when it wasn't easy. Even when doing so meant sacrificing time with her family, threatened her relationships and put her at odds with a male-dominated world. Every time I rewatch this movie, I am inspired by the heart of this horse--as though he knew the family farm counted on his winning. And his love for his humans. I am inspired by the dedication of Secretariat's trainer, groom and jockey. Each time I witness the scene where Secretariat is led through the tunnel at Churchill Downs, I relive my own experience visiting this magnificent place filled with so much energy and walking through that tunnel -- an item that was a mere dream in my heart and then posted on my vision board for years. In life we find inspiration and encouragement from many sources. If we're smart, we'll make a habit of reliving and rehearsing those memories which, Science has proven, has a profound impact on the brain and body, specifically our immune system. We often hesitate in sharing experiences like these, books, videos and other ways we are encouraged and inspired because we don't want to brag or be counted as a "know it all" but studies show that engaging more people in our love, joy, peace and excitement raises the vibration/energy level and happiness meter of everyone involved. That's another reason I started this blog -- to share, encourage, educate and inspire YOU to discover the many ways LIFE is (or can be) a great adventure despite its ups and downs. I hope this post accomplishes that. Until next time, hugs and blessings to YOU. PamT

The purpose of this blog is to share books, podcasts, interviews and movies that impact me on an emotional and spiritual and/or physical level. Although I'll be sharing lot's of nonfiction here, Redeeming Love is one such book. I just finished reading it, again, after watching the movie (again) Friday night and let me tell you, the God Angel discovers in this book, is the God I know. Not the judgemental, wrathful, angry god who will, "saquash you like a bug" or punish you, but One who loves unconditionally and who pulls us up out of the pit time and time again. This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read and one I will continue to enjoy. One I'll read over and over as long as my eyesight will allow. It is that powerful! Check it out for yourself. If you enjoy Redeeming Love, my book The Visionary is a contemporary novel about survivors of extreme child abuse and their healing process and is available in ebook, print and audio. It is also on sale this week as part of Smashwords's "Read an Ebook Week" along my other titles (all 50% off)! That's about all for now, friends.
Until next time, take care and God bless. PamT I mentioned yesterday my intention to blog more regularly here and to share books, interviews, podcasts, etc. that inspire me on my spiritual path. Next Level Soul with Alex Ferrari is one such podcast! His guests range from spiritual teachers/leaders of today to NDE survivors to evidential mediums and more. Like anything we read or listen to, there will be some guests or topics that do not resonate, but those who do.... Wow! Alex's questions are curious and insightful and his laugh is absolutely contageous. If you find yourself with some time to spare, visit his website, or check out his podcast on YouTube or Other Platforms and listen to a few episodes. I promise you'll glean a nugget of gold or two from them. Another podcast and host I really love and adore is The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes. Lewis is another whose podcast guests are educated, insightful and caring about the world and the people in it. His interview style and depth of curiosity and desire to help people know and understand Who they ARE is one of the best and I tune in to his show on a regular basis. Lewis's podcast can be found on YouTube and his website as well as other media outlets. He also has a website, Greatness.com that is a wealth of information on various topics from Mindset to Money and Relationships. I have yet to read his books but listening to, and learning from, Lewis and his guests are definite rainbows in my universe of learning more about who I am as a spiritual being having a human experience. I hope you'll check out these two podcast hosts and stay tuned here for more inspiring books and people to help you along your own spiritual path. Until next time, remember.... Everything in life is 90% perception PamT WHERE: Edgemont Healing Center 1800 Kirkman St, Lake Charles, LA WHEN: Sunday Jan 21st - 2-4pm Focus: Journaling/Scripting and Vision Book/Board Do you believe Journaling, Scripting, or creating a Vision Book/Board can change your life? Your reality? Your current circumstances? Although our intentions, resolutions, and goals are made in all sincerity, Science has proven that humans use a mere fraction of our brain’s capacity and that we tend to give up or quit trying before we’ve created new neuropathways in our gray matter. Is it any wonder our life doesn’t change?! According to Dr. Joe Dispenza, “whatever links in the brain, sinks in the brain.” Let’s begin 2024 by incorporating healthy thinking and speaking patterns to change and/or improve our life! In this 2 hour workshop Pamela S Thibodeaux will teach on the effectiveness of journaling, scripting, and/or vision books/boards along with simple, easy steps to incorporate this into your daily life. Bring your own journal. Can be as expensive or inexpensive as you wish. Plain, fancy or as simple as a notebook you’d buy for your child’s schoolwork. Benefits of the Class *Understand the Science behind journaling and visioning *These techniques reduce anxiety *help you sort out options and *see opportunities you may not see otherwise. *Improve clarity *Identify your goals and prioritize them then break them down into manageable steps. *Release your innate creativity *Have Fun and See Results! The class is free although donations are greatly appreciated. *Suggested donation $20.00 RSVP Here: www.facebook.com/events/843018010844203 I love to travel, meet new people, do new things, venture out. And I love to share the things I learn and experience in life, whether through travel, books, interviews or podcasts. The idea for this blog evolved out of the possiblity of two books. One, Learning with the Leaders, where I share what I've learned through reading a wide and varied number of authors and nonfiction titles in the spiritual and personal development fields. The other, Rainbows, Potholes & Nuggets of Gold Gleaned Along Life's Journey would be a compilation of articles, essays, life lessons, poems, treasures, trials and triumphs in my life. Both designed to share, encourage, educate and inspire others. I agonized over what to name this blog. Considered, The Spiritual Book Blog but thought that was too B-O-R-I-N-G and worried whether or not anyone would want to hear what I have to say. Finally, I thought... Just Do IT, Pam! After all, the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." So, this is my first step at sharing my life, writing, coaching and spiritual journeys with you. I hope you enjoy it. PamT |
