Please help...

I apologize for not having a podcast set up for this week. There are a couple of contributing factors...

1. Today I didn't feel very uplifting, and I want to be sure that whatever I'm projecting outward to you is with the utmost sincerity. I instead took the time to focus on me, indulge a little in bad tv and ice cream, and hope to be back to myself very very soon.

2. (And this is where I need your help) I'm considering making some changes to the format of the podcast, but I'd like it to reflect what most people would like to hear. I've received feedback that the ads on the site are distracting... unfortunately because it is a free hosting website, I am unable to rectify this. The files are quite large and need to be accessible to a lot of people. What I would recommend is downloading them instead, and using whatever player you favour to play it back... I've also received feedback that people would like more talking and less music... that music can be found anywhere, but the message is where it's at. To be honest, I hadn't approached the podcast this way because I wasn't sure this is what people wanted, but if it is - I'm happy to deliver.

So what I'm asking is this... let me know. Send me a comment on here, or if you prefer to email, I can be reached at bs857@hotmail.com. If you have topic ideas, things you'd like some insight on (of course this insight is only from my perspective) please send those along as well. I want this to be meaningful to as many people as possible, and I can't do this without you.

Hope you are having a wonderful week, full of love and light.

Love,
Seena Beana

No need to fear failure....

This week's podcast: http://www.zshare.net/audio/62625703ca3e4b03/

Note: I could have spent the entire 30 minutes talking on this week's topic. Fear of failure is something I'm currently striving to conquer within myself. Awareness of the fear is the first step - then you can talk yourself through it (instead of walking through life blindly, unable to recognize the fear you are living for what it is). WE HAVE THE CHOICE. Know that many wonderful things have come from failure, accidents, mistakes... (ie: penicillin and post it notes) and that change is imperative for growth. If you try you may fail some of the time. If you don't try, you fail ALL of the time.

Quotes:
"Those who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try nothing and succeed. " - Lloyd Jones

"If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not in the falling down, but in the staying down." - Mary Pickford

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Edison

"Drive" by Incubus

While I try to keep the music in this blog very 'worldly' I have a wide taste in music and would like to share this with you.
This song speaks of breaking from the pack, and choosing to be an individual. A lesson that will help us all from time to time. Enjoy :)
