New Episode out today! “Have you ever flown on the back of a falcon? Well, neither had the fairy prince. Of course, he had flown many times before, being a fairy and all. Flying is a fairy’s preferred mode of transportation, as we all well know. If you had wings, wouldn’t you fly everywhere? Yes, exactly. Me too...” #podcast #kids #children #fairytale #story #storyteller #waldorf #homeschool #fairy #kidslisten https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Ud_d-BXzx/?igshid=ck6q3nuxjqwn

A Little Minute about US!

A Little Minute about US!

 Today’s episode is called “A Little Minute about Us!” because today’s episode is the one-year anniversary of the April Eight Songs & Stories Podcast! It is Episode 28!

I called it a “Little Minute about US” because I love us, you and me together, so much! I have loved sharing my songs and stories and joy with you, my dear listeners. And we’ve been doing that for a whole year! Can you believe…

Most mornings we do this... I drink a little coffee and write in my journal: ideas, stories, insights, concerns, noticing of habits that are or are not serving me, song lyrics (mine and other people's), dreams, big picture visions, small to-does, reminders to let go of worries and be grateful for what is, and often that gratitude includes "I am grateful for this snuggly little dog on my lap and the way she takes good care of me everyday, whether I want her to or not." We seem to be a combo deal. #roxie #dogsofinstagram #dog #bestfriend #journal #momlife #joy #love #peace #clarity #habitat #habits #writer #writersofinstagram #story #storyteller #podcast #instagramismyblog

It has been exactly one year since I launched April Eight Songs & Stories Podcast! I have a new story episode coming out today and a Little Minute celebration episode coming out next week! I'm so so so do so in love with my podcast and my audience and the friends I've made along the way, and all the beauty and joy that sharing my fairytales and songs out into the world has brought back to me in spades. How could I have lived without it before and how could it only be just a year since I started? As Quinn Quillow says in my soon-to-be released episode, "A tale I tell, a tale I know, a tale that's never been told. But if I can tell it, it must come from somewhere. But where? We may never know." To listen - url in bio.

Do you ever feel like someone is watching you? This little lady, Madame Cardinal, has been pecking at our window for about a month. Because I am a cosmic cookie, I think she's trying to tell me something. And I think I know what it is. She's a beautiful flutter of joy in my day. Bless her. #cardinal #nature #animaltotem #wildandfree #love #feminine #power #storyteller #story #song #musician #author #childhoodunplugged #enchantedchildhood #enchantress #fairytale
