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_outlineSilver Lining Moments:
a space for conversations, thoughts, and ideas that expand love and light
In 2010, Courtney had a good job with friendly colleagues and a stable income. Yet, her inner voice told her she needed a change. She listened.
In embracing change, she quit her job, traveled, and volunteered. Courtney describes these moments as “course-corrections” for her life. She found clarity for her purpose and passion. In so doing, she has and continues to make positive changes in her personal life, her professional life, and in an entire industry. She is a leader of sustainability in the event planning industry.
In this conversation, Courtney and I discuss:
- The course-correction moments in her life – traveling, volunteering, and listening to her inner self
- How one moment or experience has a ripple effect on our lives
- How finding and living your purpose and passion can develop over time, over experiences, and over moments
- Sustainability in the event planning industry
- Ways that businesses and entire industries can operate sustainability
- Community and helping one another
- Embracing change
My hope for you as you listen to this episode is that you feel connected to yourself, to your community, and the world. And, as we are all facing a changing world together with COVID-19, may we all have clarity as to how we want our present and future lives – as individuals, as friends and families, as communities, as countries, as one world – to be.
As for me, from my conversation with Courtney, I realize how:
a moment of CHANGE is lined by CLARITY.
Thank you for listening to Silver Lining Moments.
By Courtney 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.
