Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Today’s show is about setting boundaries and drawing a line in the sand. It’s about keeping the things that are treasures and not bringing the junk into your life. We share a story about our dad and the things he collected when we were kids. As well as, our mom’s reaction to the collection and the boundaries she set.
Our hearts go out to everyone affected by Hurricane Harvey. Seeing how the devastation has brought people together is amazing. We also have a special place in our hearts for all of the animals affected and all of the amazing people helping them. We challenge everyone to donate and help out.
We also talk about speaking the truth and our plans to grow the podcast. We review last week’s affirmations from our listeners, and we revise our own affirmations a bit. Patrick even shares his goal formula of visualize, analyze, and achieve. Michael shares the rules for the 40-day and 40-night affirmation challenge and the 6 steps to saying an affirmation. We are glad you are here, and we hope you enjoy the show.
