Making Decisions Episode 288
Welcome back to Mini Miracles From Minor Moments. I’m so glad you’re here today, spending a few quiet minutes with me. In this episode, I reflect on how decision making touches every part of our lives, from the smallest daily choices to the ones that change our direction for years. At every age and stage, we are choosing, often without realizing how much those choices shape our peace, health, relationships, and sense of purpose. This conversation is especially close to my heart during seasons of transition and reflection. Decisions in Everyday Life Decision making happens constantly, whether we notice it or not. I share stories from my own life, including family memories, caregiving experiences, and moments of loss, to show how choices are formed through love, habit, faith, and reflection. Some decisions feel simple, like how we spend our time or care for others, yet they leave lasting impressions. Other decisions, such as health care choices or major life changes, require patience, prayer, and support from people we trust. All of them contribute to who we become. Building Wise and Grounded Choices Good decisions grow from clarity, values, and thoughtful reflection. They are shaped by listening, pausing, and considering long-term effects rather than reacting from fear or urgency. I talk about using simple tools like comparing options, identifying non-negotiables, and seeking counsel from people who have lived similar experiences. Growth often follows action, and even imperfect choices can teach us something meaningful. What matters most is acting with integrity, courage, and compassion for ourselves and others. Key Takeaways from This Episode Decision making is a lifelong practice that shapes our character, health, and relationships Small daily choices influence long-term peace and emotional wellness Personal stories and memories can guide present-day choices Reflection, prayer, and quiet time help create clearer thinking Wise counsel brings perspective and steadiness during life transitions Emotions offer signals but should not lead choices alone Listen & Connect 🎧 Listen to the full episode of Mini Miracles From Minor Moments wherever you enjoy podcasts. 🌱 Visit me at to explore coaching, submit a question, or share this episode with someone who may need encouragement today.

Let Transitions Be A Blessing Episode 287

Let Transitions Be A Blessing Episode 287
This week on Mini Miracles from Minor Moments, I’m sharing a heartfelt reflection on the gentle art of letting go. Life shifts in ways we never expect—retirement, changing family roles, loss, health changes, or simply entering a new season of life. These transitions often arrive without warning, yet they carry blessings that help us grow in emotional wellness and clarity. As we step into December, I invite you to pause, breathe, and welcome the gifts that come with aging gracefully. So many of the roles we’ve held—caregiver, organizer, the “strong one”—can quietly outgrow us. In this conversation, I explore how releasing what no longer fits allows peace to settle in. I share small joys that brighten my mornings, from fresh laundry to quiet prayer to a playful puppy at my side. These ordinary moments remind us that joy has a way of meeting us right where we are. And as the year wraps up, we can gently honor the past while opening our hearts to the opportunities waiting in the new year. Key Points How transitions act as invitations to new forms of purpose and clarity Recognizing when old roles or labels no longer serve our emotional health Finding joy in small daily moments—tea, fresh air, sunrises, and simple routines The comfort of pets, friendships, memories, and shared stories Seeing retirement and later-life changes as openings for growth Welcoming fresh opportunities in the coming year—creativity, new connections, and new goals Encouragement to shift thought patterns, seek support, and build self-confidence Thank you for joining me for this episode of Mini Miracles from Minor Moments.

Opportunities to Rebuild

Opportunities to Rebuild
As we approach Thanksgiving and the season of gathering, I’m reminded how the smallest shifts in our surroundings can brighten our spirit. Clearing a room, finishing a project, or even emptying a purse can bring a sense of freedom that lifts our thoughts and helps us reconnect with what matters. In this episode, I share reflections from simple daily moments—trees losing their leaves, a newly emptied room, and the quiet clarity that follows completion. These moments help us focus, breathe, and move forward with fresh intention. I hope this encourages you to pause, reset, and enjoy the gentle goodness that small steps can bring into your life. The changes happening outdoors this season reminded me how our inner world often mirrors our surroundings. When the trees shed their leaves, we see the evergreens stand out more boldly—just as the important parts of our lives stand out once we lighten our load. Clearing space, finishing tasks, and letting old habits fall away give us room to think with calm and purpose. As we prepare for the holidays, this practice can restore motivation, renew energy, and open our hearts for connection. My hope is that these thoughts serve as a warm reminder that clearing space—even through small actions—can lift your spirit and spark clarity. Key Points The way small messages, moments, or observations can inspire direction and clarity. How the bare trees of late fall reveal the steady beauty that was always there. The value of clearing a room or completing a long-overdue project to refresh your thinking. How finishing tasks frees mental space and renews energy. Emptying spaces—like a purse, drawer, or garage—can lighten emotional weight. Letting go of outdated traditions or expectations as we enter the holiday season. How completion builds confidence and opens the door to prayer, rest, and peaceful reflection.

Talking it Through Episode 285

Talking it Through Episode 285
Hello friends! In this episode of Mini Miracles from Minor Moments, I reflect on the beauty of being tenderhearted and the wisdom we receive from those who came before us. I share stories of my father — a man full of kindness, creativity, and joy — and how his gentle spirit shaped my outlook on life. Through these memories, I hope to inspire you to cherish compassion, listen deeply, and find purpose in the ordinary moments that surround you. Being tenderhearted is more than an emotion — it’s a way of life that brings warmth to relationships and clarity to our spirit. In this episode, I explore how empathy, patience, and communication can transform both our inner lives and the way we connect with others. From memories of family traditions to everyday kindnesses at the grocery store, you’ll find encouragement to slow down, listen with your heart, and build stronger, more loving relationships. I also revisit a piece I wrote years ago about being a “street scientist” — someone who learns by observing, listening, and living life with curiosity and openness. Together, we’ll discover how small moments of reflection and good communication can help us grow emotionally and spiritually. Key Takeaways The wisdom of parents and mentors continues to shape our hearts long after they’re gone. Tenderheartedness means having empathy, compassion, and forgiveness for others — even in small gestures like a smile or kind word. Listening is one of the most powerful tools for building trust and connection. Good communication begins with patience, presence, and genuine curiosity about others. We can learn from everyday experiences — becoming “street scientists” who grow through life’s little lessons. Practicing gratitude and acts of kindness can renew our spirit and bring clarity to daily life. Taking time for reflection, prayer, or quiet moments helps us stay centered and open to new beginnings. Reflection Question Who in your life has taught you the most about kindness and communication, and how can you pass that same tenderness to others this week? Simple Action Step Reach out to one person today — maybe a friend, neighbor, or store clerk — and offer a kind word or note of gratitude. It might be the lift they need and a gentle reminder that someone cares. Visit for more encouragement, coaching opportunities, and previous podcast episodes.

Visualize the Best Episode 284
Hello, my friend! In this episode of Mini Miracles from Minor Moments, I’m talking about something I’ve been practicing myself—visualizing the best. Life is filled with moments that can shape our confidence and sense of peace. When we picture ourselves succeeding and growing, we give our minds and hearts a beautiful roadmap to follow. I share how to create these mental pictures with faith and gratitude so you can feel more centered, calm, and motivated to move forward with purpose. I’ve found that visualizing success can truly change how we approach our days. It’s not just about seeing the finish line—it’s about feeling it, hearing it, and believing it. When we imagine the best, we start behaving in ways that support it. I’ll walk you through simple ways to make your mental pictures more powerful: using your senses, anchoring them in faith, and taking one small action each day. I also talk about the peace that comes from simplifying—how having less can often make life richer, calmer, and more meaningful. Every step you take, even the smallest one, helps you become more of who you’re meant to be. Highlights from This Episode I share how to use all your senses to bring your dreams to life—see, hear, and feel success before it happens. How short statements like “I am calm and confident” can help you stay positive and grounded. Why it’s powerful to picture the process, not just the end goal. How faith and prayer can help align your vision with God’s plan for you. Small steps lead to big change—one drawer cleaned, one task finished, one step forward. Why simplifying your home and your routines brings a deeper sense of peace. How thinking positively and helping others creates a ripple of joy in your life. A Thought for You Where in your life can you start visualizing the best today? Maybe it’s in your health, your relationships, or your personal goals. Take a moment to picture yourself thriving—you might be surprised by how quickly things start to shift. Each morning, take five quiet minutes to picture one positive thing you’d like to happen that day. See yourself smiling, feeling grateful, and ready to handle whatever comes your way with confidence. I don’t send updates often, but when I do, they’re filled with encouragement, little reminders, and fresh thoughts to brighten your week. 👉 — I’d love to stay in touch and keep inspiring you to live with clarity, joy, and purpose.

Dealing With Fear Episode 283

Dealing With Fear Episode 283
Fear can sneak up on us when we least expect it — through the news we read, a sudden health concern, or even the feeling of being alone. In this episode, I talk about how fear shows up in our lives and how we can turn it into something that protects and strengthens us instead of holding us back. Together, we’ll look at practical ways to replace anxiety with faith, calmness, and action. Fear is a natural part of life, something God built into us for safety. But when fear becomes too strong or misplaced, it can steal our joy and peace. I share personal reflections — from sleepless nights and worry-filled days to lessons learned from my dog Pearl — to remind us that even fear can be our teacher. By slowing down, breathing, and taking small, meaningful steps, we can transform fearful thoughts into courage and clarity. When we name our fears and take action, we gain freedom. And when we bring faith, reason, and community into the picture, fear loses its power. Whether you’re facing health issues, uncertainty, or emotional strain, this episode offers gentle encouragement to move forward with confidence. Key Takeaways Fear is natural — it helps protect us but can also paralyze us if left unchecked. Healthy fear keeps us alert and aware; unhealthy fear keeps us trapped and small. Naming your fear gives it shape and helps you take control of it. Deep breathing, prayer, and faith can quiet the body and spirit. Taking small steps forward replaces fear with momentum and courage. Community support offers perspective and comfort during anxious times. Reflecting on past victories builds confidence and gratitude. What is one fear you’ve been carrying that you can name and begin to face today? Simple Action Step Write your fear down. Take a deep breath, say a short prayer, and decide on one small step you can take to move forward. Then thank God for giving you the strength to do it. Stay Connected — Even in the Quiet Moments I don’t send updates often, but when I do, they’re filled with encouragement, simple reflections, and gentle reminders to help you live with clarity and peace.

Power Up Your Life One Day at a Time Episode 282
Life can easily get us off track—holidays, busy schedules, or unexpected interruptions often leave us feeling out of step. In this episode, I share how staying grounded in the right day helps us feel more organized, emotionally steady, and spiritually centered.

Recognizing Fads Episode 281
Welcome back to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments! I’m Linda, and today’s episode is all about the things we can and cannot control, the fads that come and go in our culture, and the value of staying connected with others. From hula hoops and Rubik’s Cubes to TikTok dances and food crazes, fads reflect how quickly life shifts. Alongside these observations, I’ll share a practical method called Take 5 that helps us reset our minds and find clarity in busy moments. Life brings us moments we can manage—like calling the dog inside—and situations beyond our control, such as technology breaking down. Both invite us to practice patience and perspective. We’ll reflect on fads of the past, how they influence culture, and why they matter more than just being short-lived trends. I’ll also introduce you to the Take 5 method, a refreshing tool for mental resets. Finally, we’ll talk about the importance of staying connected with people of all ages and backgrounds, since relationships and conversations give us strength, clarity, and joy. Key Takeaways We all face situations we cannot control, but our response makes the difference. Fads are short-lived trends that reveal cultural values and create conversation starters. Past fads included hula hoops, Rubik’s Cubes, and slap bracelets; today’s include TikTok dances and food crazes. Asking whether something is meaningful or just a trend helps us make wise choices. The Take 5 method encourages mental resets: take breaks, engage actively, reduce distractions, stop multitasking, and refocus. Staying connected with others—friends, family, or new acquaintances—keeps us fresh and inspired. Giving and sharing resources, whether time, wisdom, or belongings, strengthens our communities.

Priorities That Bring Peace and Clarity
Life has a way of pulling us in different directions — errands, family needs, health concerns, and work responsibilities. In this episode, I invites you to step back, reflect, and focus on what truly matters each day. By setting clear priorities, you can bring peace and clarity into your daily routine while still leaving space for the unexpected joys of life. We often juggle too many obligations, from caring for loved ones to managing a household, all while trying to keep pace with modern demands. I shares practical ways to regain control of your time: identifying three must-do tasks each day, using simple tools to stay organized, and making space for faith, friendships, and rest. Plus I also reminds us that creating welcoming environments, letting go of excess belongings, and setting healthy boundaries all play a role in keeping our minds and hearts clear. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How setting just three top priorities each day can create focus and calm Why blocking tasks together saves time and reduces stress Ways to use visual reminders and simple lists to stay organized The joy of spontaneous connections with friends and loved ones The importance of faith, prayer, and quiet time in daily life Ideas for letting go of extra possessions and sharing them with others How defining categories like family, health, work, and leisure helps bring balance Take a moment to consider: What one priority matters most to you today? Writing it down may be the first step toward peace of mind.

Join me as we gently explore the abundance around us that doesn’t cost a dime. Whether you’re sipping coffee on your back porch or simply enjoying the sound of a bird outside your window, you’ll find encouragement here to savor what really matters. We often equate luxury with things — fancy cars, elegant vacations, or beautifully decorated homes. But today, I invite you to shift your perspective and celebrate the intangible treasures that surround you: time, health, love, peace, and purpose. You’ll hear reflections from my life, insights inspired by the lovely book Choosing Happiness by Alexandra Stoddard, and a few heartfelt stories — including how my dog Pearl helps me see anticipation and joy in the simplest of routines. These seemingly small moments can remind us that emotional wellness and clarity often come from within. Whether you're grieving a loss, navigating a life transition, or simply seeking more joy, this episode offers gentle encouragement and timeless wisdom to keep you moving forward — one minor moment at a time. Key Highlights from This Episode Time is the true currency — create space for rest, reflection, and relationships. Good health is a quiet luxury — easily taken for granted, yet vital to our happiness. Quiet time restores clarity — even 10 minutes of stillness can realign your spirit. A house filled with love is true wealth — it's in the memories, laughter, and connections we hold dear.

I even share a recent story about my dog Pearl—because even she’s learning to adjust in her own way! As you listen, I invite you to think about how the minor shifts in your own life—like a new schedule, a small injury, or a change in community—can actually lead to deep insights and new strengths. I share a few personal memories from my college days, my church community, and even some of the creative ways I stay connected with friends. Here are a few gentle takeaways from this episode: Presence matters. In-person conversations and shared spaces build emotional wellness. Routines create clarity. Simple morning habits can boost your peace of mind. Life transitions teach us. Even the hard ones can open new possibilities. Connection fuels joy.

How might you reconnect with them this week in a thoughtful way? A Gentle Action Step: Begin one small morning routine—make your bed, sip your tea quietly, or take a short walk.

Giving Yourself Permission EP 275

Giving Yourself Permission EP 275
Giving Yourself Permission: Helpful or Harmful? In this episode, I explore how giving ourselves permission can be empowering, but also risky. I talk about how it’s easy to bend rules and take shortcuts when emotions lead the way. I share how true growth comes from thoughtful decisions—ones rooted in faith, values, and honest reflection. I also speak from personal experience, including what I’ve learned from my patient little dog, Pearl, and how she reminded me that waiting can be wise. Sometimes we need rest. Other times we use “I deserve this” as a cover for avoidance. Learning to check in with trusted mentors or reflect prayerfully can help us pause before taking action that might not serve us well in the long run. Key Takeaways Giving yourself permission can be healthy or harmful—it depends on the why. Skipping small responsibilities can easily turn into disconnection or regret. Wise counsel from friends, mentors, or your faith community helps guide better choices. Patience—whether learned from a person or a pet—can lead to better timing in decision-making. Emotional decisions (especially when tired, angry, or sad) may not reflect your true values. Giving yourself permission should support growth, not serve as a loophole for bad habits. Align your intentions with small actions to keep moving forward, even in hard times. Reflect and Respond Ask yourself: Have you recently given yourself permission to do something? Did it come from a place of peace or from emotion? Was that decision consistent with your long-term goals or values? Final Thoughts Let today be a reminder that permission isn’t about guilt or indulgence. It’s about responsibility and self-respect. Take care of yourself, speak the truth, and don’t be afraid to consult those who care about you. Each small decision can be a mini miracle when it’s made with care. Until next time, stay well and keep noticing the little things that move you forward. —Linda

Non Verbals Can Help Us
Welcome back to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments! I'm Linda Gullo, coming to you from Crystal Lake, Illinois. This episode shines a light on the subtle yet impactful ways nonverbal communication influences our everyday lives. From a sigh in the car to the inviting atmosphere of your home, these small gestures often speak louder than words. Understanding them can help us strengthen relationships, reduce misunderstandings, and express care without saying a single thing. Let’s pause and explore how these “silent signals” shape the way we connect with those we love. Episode Summary This conversation is all about paying attention to what’s not being said. I share real-life stories—from childhood to marriage—that reveal how gestures, spaces, and silent behaviors carry deep meaning. Nonverbals include facial expressions, body posture, the way we use space, and even how we dress. These cues can either support or confuse our relationships, depending on how we use or interpret them. Whether it's a sigh, a high-five, or simply where you sit during a conversation, nonverbal communication shapes how we feel and how we make others feel too. We also look at the physical spaces we create for connection and how the energy in those spaces tells its own story. I encourage you to reflect on how you’re communicating through your body language, tone, and daily routines. Little changes can go a long way in bringing clarity, comfort, and closeness into your interactions. Key Talking Points How childhood and marriage experiences taught me the power of nonverbal signals Why body language, facial expressions, and tone can impact relationships more than words Recognizing how your home’s layout and the spaces you choose to interact in affect comfort and connection How gestures like high-fives, shoulder pats, or eye contact show love, encouragement, and support Understanding that pets and kids pick up on subtle cues—even your silence speaks Ways to use nonverbal communication more intentionally to build trust and show respect The importance of physical appearance, timing, and presence in showing up fully for others Connect with Me Thank you for listening to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments.
