Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
A SLM conversation with Renee King-Sonnen (Her vegan transformation from cattle rancher to cattle sanctuary) Renee King-Sonnen is on a mission to restore harmony and balance between us, animals, and our planet. This mission started with Rowdy Girl, an abandoned calf on her husband’s Texan cattle ranch. Her husband asked her to help nurture and mother Rowdy Girl. And, this changed everything; it was the start of a new way of seeing animals, a new diet, and a new life mission. Renee went on to become a vegan, to co-found Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, and work with the Rancher Advocacy...

SLM Short-ish 9: A SILVER LINING MOMENT in PROCESS & FRIENDSHIP
Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
A moment of PSORIASIS & FRUSTRATION is lined by PROCESS & FRIENDSHIP. Silver Lining Moments are every where, in each moment, even in a moment of psoriasis (chronic condition) & frustration! In this SLM short, I talk about how a psoriasis flare-up has me feeling frustrated and angry filled with resentment and fear! These feelings may start with the psoriasis, but once I feel them, they spread to other areas of my life. Once the frustration feelings take hold, they create a filter through which I see everything that casts a shadow over all aspects of my life. The more I focus on my frustration,...

Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
A moment of MOTHERHOOD is lined by Dreams A SLM conversation with Bonnie Silvestri Bonnie taught women in law classes that discussed legal issues around motherhood and families including topics like pregnancy and families in the workplace. When she became pregnant herself, these were no longer abstract issues in case books. They were personal. She realized that the whole "work life balance thing” was not so easily managed. She began to look at family leave policies around the world – in particular, she looked at countries that provided paid family leave like England...

SLM Short 8: A SILVER LINING MOMENT in your inbox and messages
Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
Silver Lining Moments are every where, in each moment, even in your inbox and messages. Last week, I received a few "just messages". The messages that have "just" somewhere in them, such as "I am writing just because I am thinking of you" or "I just wanted to let you know that you are important to me/that you are doing a good job/that I appreciate your friendship." Often, these messages are short in words but big in their positive impact. These just messages are a ray of sunshine in my inbox that brighten my day and shine a light through the years in my heart. They are...

SLM Short 7: A Silver Lining Moment in a SILVER-LINED bath tub
Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
Are you looking for a sign that you are on the right track? When I asked for a sign that Silver Lining Moments is a worthwhile focus of good in the world, I saw this "sign"; it's in the form of a SILVER-LINED bath tub in a storefront showcase. Just like the light behind the cloud, a SILVER LINING MOMENT is always there - reminding us of the light in ourselves, in our conversations, in each other, and in each MOMENT. And, a SLM takes many forms - sometimes it's that little bit of encouragement or that "sign" you are looking for. This SILVER-LINED bath tub was the...

SLM Short 6: A Silver LIning Moment in a movie
Silver Lining Moments with Kerry
SLMs are everywhere, in each moment. This one is in the movie 13 Lives, which is about the real-life cave rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach. They were trapped in the cave for 17 days. Some 10,000 people—including 2,000 soldiers, 200 divers and volunteers from around the world helped in their rescue. After watching this movie, I was in awe of how amazing people can be! Director Ron Howard said it best: “It’s a very contemporary theme that we need to remind ourselves of, and that is how powerful we can all be internationally or on a community level when we pull...

info_outlineA SLM conversation with Wijitra Tretrakul “Tra”
Silver Lining Moments: a space for conversations, thoughts, and ideas that expand love and light
Sometimes, we just need to be heard. By listening to someone, without judgment or distraction, you are telling them, very clearly and very powerfully, that they matter. And, sometimes, that is all that is needed for transformational change.
Tra is a person who after you speak with you are filled with positive energy. She uses art therapy to help people connect with their self-love and self-worth. When someone connects with these, they find their voice and speak their truth in their words and through their actions.
In this conversation, Tra and I discuss:
- When you listen to someone without judgment, you are telling them that they are important and that they matter.
- Letting someone know they matter is a gift of empowerment that can be a catalysis for transformation.
- The story of a woman in a Thai prison who went from feeling not worthy speaking up to leading a Bible study group.
- The wisdom inside each of us.
- Sometimes people just need a nudge to discover (or re-connect with) their self-love and self-worth.
- How one small act can start a domino effect of great change.
- In every moment, we are empowered by, and responsible for, our choices.
My hope for you as you listen to this episode is that you are empowered by your own voice, that you feel heard, and that you know that you matter. By simply listening to this episode, you matter to me. Imagine how many other ways you matter, each and every day. Yes, you are amazing. Feel it. Believe it. Own it.
As for me, from my conversation with Tra, I discover how
a moment of ART is lined by HAVING A VOICE.
Thank you for listening to Silver Lining Moments.
By Tra sharing and by you listening, together we are:
expanding love and light,
one person at a time,
one story at a time,
one Silver Lining Moment at a time.
