BBM 3: Consciously Joining Up With The House on the Hill
Bright Blue Moments: Stories of Sensing Soul
I now live in an amazing house on Diamond Head in Hawaii that I was not even looking for. I set out to find a condo, and then fell in love with a graceful old Hawaiian home. It was too big, more than we were going to spend, and already in escrow with someone else by the time we went after it. And yet through a lot of focus on abundance and pure intention, and desire just to bring the house back to it former glory, one by one the obstacles disappeared.

BBM 2: Unconsciously Manifesting a move from New York City to Hawaii
Bright Blue Moments: Stories of Sensing Soul
Manifestation is really a fairly new word to me. Episodes #2 and #3 of this podcast are about big things I manifested without even knowing the term. This episode, #2, explains how I came to love Hawai’i as a vacation destination and how much angst I would always have about leaving. By listening to my intuition, I developed a sense of calm about the situation, and learned to not focus on the leaving end of the vacation. I made peace with where I was at, and where I was at eventually changed.

BBM 1: Welcome to Bright Blue Moment!
Bright Blue Moments: Stories of Sensing Soul
This episode is about why I finally decided after much nudging, to do a podcast. I talk about what it was like to spend a weekend fleshing out the creation of my podcast with my marketing partner Amy Bliefnick, and the messages that came to me afterwards.

In this episode, I will share a few funny, and unusual Great Dane puppy stories. I’ll also share how he became a model for fashion ads at a very young age, and how he gathered a crowd at The Time Warner Building at Columbus Circle in New York City one day.
I’ll share how I started to realize that he was not a normal dog, and when I began to sense he could possibly provide a life-changing service for me. I’ll share how he unexpectedly became my service dog, and the craziness that is a Great Dane service dog on an NYC Subway.
As my constant companion as a navigational guide he enabled my confidence and independence in a way that was transformational for me.
I also tell fun stories about his sophisticated manner and about how he came into this world with his own style of etiquette that made me laugh almost daily. I was constantly surprised by the things he brought into our life and as you listen to this episode you will come to understand why I nicknamed him JoyBoy.
I’ll share how even during the last part of his journey, he was there to teach me about the beauty of stillness and how much a quiet mind could actually hear. He communicated with me patiently, until I finally learned how to listen. He taught me how to open my heart and keep it open, until I found my own spirituality there.
This podcast is for you if you like dogs, joy, laughter, spirituality.
