Acupuncture Points of America

Acupuncture Points of America

Episode Summary

Today Beany, Joanne and I talk about their conscious choice to plant roots in this community, where they could acquire land to specifically grow food and health.  They have never stopped making that conscious choice and are enjoying the fruits of their labor now with booming business, building their new home and learning valuable lessons along the way.  We get into the communities in the world known as Blue Zones and the following Blue Zones project that Joanne lead as the project coordinator.  I point out that Beany and Joannne, in their various roles that emanate a frequency of love, are absolutely creating a Blue Zone of their own here in the area.  We take an unexpected and heart warming turn down memory lane, we touch on Beany’s role in the minds of the youth and dive a little bit into the intersection of Spirituality and Religion in all of our lives.  And then we talk about food again.  Because it may just be food that heals the world.  I know that’s where I’ve landed after this inspiring conversation with two beautiful lights I am honored to have as friends.  IF you take anything from today, I do hope that you are inspired to support your local farms, learn about your food, go to farmers markets and begin to eat more seasonally since diversity is beneficial in every aspect of life.

I’m Co-hosting Another Podcast!

Nowhere To Go But Up Podcast

Podcast Link: Nowhere To Go But Up Interview with Lori Reising

Hello everyone!

I’m so excited to announce that I will be Sean Dustin’s monthly co-host for the variety portion of his show, Nowhere To Go But Up.  The link above is the interview we did so y’all could get to know me a bit.  His podcast talks about people’s bottom struggles and how they were able to rise up from the ashes.  I get into the biggest bottom of my life that spanned by entire 30s and how I found laughter and life again.  We also get into other topics such as podcasting, dating, life lessons and more!  I’m super excited to add in this project and be a part of Sean’s show vision!

Here is a little bit more about the Nowhere To Go But Up podcast in Sean’s words.  “This podcast was inspired by my own journey, and evolution through life, and wanting to share my story as well as stories from regular every day people. I’m a single dad, Union blue collar guy, former drug addict, spent time in Federal and State prison for drug trafficking and fraud. I was released in 2006 with nothing but the clothes on my back, and a bag of mail, and legal paperwork. In 2010 I finally kicked a long time methamphetamine habit, and started the long climb back up the ladder of life. I’m happy to say in 2019 I have managed to navigate myself into a position where i feel confident in sharing my struggles and successes, in the hopes of helping others.”

I hope you tune in to catch us banter since we approach life from vastly different perspectives.  Hopefully we will learn from each other and show the world how there’s room for curiosity and compromise within us all.
