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...

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,...

  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...

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...

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...

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...

Silver Lining Moments:

a space for conversations, thoughts, and ideas that expand love and light

Ukrainian refugee, lawyer, motorcycle adventurer, yogi, and peace builder are some labels that describe SLM guest Henry Yampolsky. Underneath (or is it within) each label is an authentic individual committed to inner healing and collective peace. I found our conversation insightful and practical. And, for a moment, even in the midst of all the uncertainty swirling around in our world, I felt grounded and calm.

In this conversation, Henry and I discuss:

  • Conflict: it is not a negative thing; it is a human thing
  • Daily meditation: from a practice to an experience to a state of being
  • Thinking about living life versus living life
  • Covid-19 and how it reminded the entire world at once about the frailty of life
  • Fear’s power over us - up to the point when we acknowledge it
  • We are so busy searching for our purpose that we overlook that our purpose is to simply live
  • Replacing “I know” with “I am open”
  • How looking for a hobby led to a motorcycle journey along the highest pass in the Himalayas to a new life path of peace building

My hope for you as you listen to this episode is that you feel peace within yourself and for your community, and the world.  As we are all facing a changing and uncertain world, together may we build peace in our homes, our neighborhoods, our cities, our  nations, our world.

As for me, from my conversation with Henry, I realize how:

a moment of MOTORCYCLE RIDING is lined by PEACE BUILDING.

Thank you for listening to Silver Lining Moments.

By Henry 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.
