Mindfulness: Be Present in the Moment!
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Being Mindful does so much to help our bodies heal and stay balanced. It is simply the practice of working with one’s mind and body to strengthen our ability to be present in the moment. Mindfulness is about teaching ourselves to be aware and present of each moment. When we practice it regularly, we are less prone to making mistakes. We send “anxiety” off on its own path and become so much more resilient.
On today’s Podcast, Linda and Kate discuss some examples of Mindfulness. Learn about Kate’s new puppy, Linda’s recovery from losing a Birthday card, and a moment from Kate’s wedding. Linda reflects on how she is taking less photos at events and just appreciating the time there. Someone else inevitably will take a photo to share. We are sharing how to connect with the moment and enjoying it more.
Linda shared an Old English Proverb that says, “On a Calm Sea, every man is a pilot.” The ladies agreed that is true of women too. Both chuckled!
Kate shared a time when she broke her leg and it slowed her down to appreciate things more. We agreed that as busy people we need to set reminders to relax. Smart watches, dogs, and exercise resets our focus to be present in the moment.
Kate then shares how she starts her Yoga classes and tuning into our bodies. Linda talks about her centering at prayer. Both encouraged taking the time and finding a way that works for you may be the step that puts you on the escalator of success.
“Don’t just look, observe. Don’t just swallow, taste. Don’t just sleep, dream. Don’t just think, feel. Don’t just exist, live!”

Are You Feeling Overloaded? This May Help!

Hello Friends! Welcome to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments. This is your Host Linda Gullo. This is Podcast # 66 Today’s Topic is on Being in Overload! You name it —- Overloaded with health issues, financial woes, family stress, relationship problems, business tasks mounting up, website needs updating, or just too much happening at one time can fall right on top of us. We can’t sleep or end of staying up late to get things done. We don’t arm ourselves with eating well, exercising, or relaxing as needed.
And what happens when the roof caves in? Well normally, one runs to get out of the way. But where do you run too if you are in the middle of a tornado, earthquake or fire? Or one of those times in life when things consume you? You can’t run from a love one who is struggling after a bad choice. You need to deal with your own health, no one else can carry that cross for you. The lunches need to be made, the shopping needs to be done, laundry doesn’t do itself, and neither do the tasks like cleaning, taking out the garbage or making appointments. Our minds overwhelmed, our tasks make us feel overloaded with responsibility and we get tuckered out!
Not all things are physical in nature. We can have a million things clouding our minds and taking up our concentration. We get to a point where we don’t know how to prioritize because everything seems equally as important. Being mindful of circumstances can help us sort things out. Being with strong resilient people can help immensely.
I talk from experience when this topic comes up. It has happened to me when I least expected it. Once time was when my children were small. One was 3 and the other an infant. My parents who had major end of life issues were very much in need of my time and my help to care for them. Countless episodes of hospital runs, rescheduling family appointments, trying to balance money, and caring for the children kept me running all over. Trying to keep to a routine was not possible. My husband was trying to help me in anyway he could, but he was also trying to earn money for us. An intense 3 years seemed so insurmountable. Mom died right after thanksgiving and dad followed her in February. Both parents died within 90 days of each other. Being tired and sad was so heavy feeling! I couldn’t pray enough. My car had become a place of constant prayer as I drove to and from the hospitals. When I finally pulled out of this period, normal things seemed so wonderful and lively. So I thought it might be good today to give out a few ideas to help if you are in the midst of feeling overloaded.
- Forget about all you need to do and do just one thing.
- List in writing the things that seem so big to tackle. They are doable and it is a good feeling to mark them off –one by one!
- Don’t compare yourself to anyone. Your list is yours and the needs you have are not the same as for others.
- Ask for help if you can; seek out people &/or services you need. When my mom and dad were so ill and my children were little caused me to tell the pharmacist that I was just getting worn out. Well it turned out that Paul Marsh and his wife Donna were Third Order Franciscans. Their personal mission was to help in any way they could! They did by delivering medications and taking time to talk with my lonely parents. Bless them.
- Don’t let fear stop you from trying new things. If you fail, there will be a good lesson that you can extract information from and use it.
FEELING LOST & OVERLOADED
- If you are in doubt about something, weigh the pros and cons. Pray and then proceed with the best of intentions. If something goes wrong, turn in the opposite direction to help remedy it. ACTION is excellent.
- Don’t isolate yourself during times of overload. A little break like lunch out with a friend can relieve stress.
Another point in time when I felt overloaded with tasks and commitments was written about in Erasing Adversity. It is a book that talks about the silver linings that appeared when the world was crumbling in on our family. People and the smallest minor moments blossomed to help. We need to learn from these moments as they are teaching us compassion, empathy, and how to reach out to others in need.
This week I was with a with a friend who is going through a period of Overwhelming Odds. What we can do for others is to walk through it with them. Listen and try not to have all the answers. It is a difficult time when one is trying to put out fires, clean up the messes from teenagers, or helping during times of sickness. While many things have nothing to do with us, there are things we still need to be responsible for–helping teenagers pay off debts, push them into responsibility or continue to teach them good morals. These times are all temporary. Things will get better.
Until next week, stay true to yourself. Do something that is fun. Thank you for listening and the kind feedback I have received.

What is On Today’s Schedule?
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you wake up? Does your schedule for the day automatically pop up in your head? Are you feeling happy? Perhaps you are disgruntled because of something you must do today that is unpleasant for you. It might be you wake up giving praise to God to another day on Earth?
The way we look at life is ongoing and a growth process. For many people it is a challenge to get up each day and find something good waiting around the bend. We know that some people achieve so much and are so charismatic. They schedule well and follow through with their plans. Along the way, they soak up, like a sponge, all the things going on around them that are positive. My father was a man who enjoyed life and seemed to deal well with whatever the day brought to him. I do wish he were here to give me that positive push when things go poorly. In his place though, I know God has placed others who can do the same for me.
Morning Flowers greet us!
So my question to you is where do you find your support for what is on today’s schedule? Are you an executive who simply delegates the less desirable chores to someone else? Are you the one who says, “I’m good at that I’ll take the burden off your back and deal with it?” Or are you the person who says “I can do this, but I need the inspiration and insight of someone else?”
- Knowing how we deal with things can make life easier.
- Look around you for support from family, co-workers, and specialists.
- Find your own strengths and use them.
- Continue learning new skills, develop new interests, and enjoy the hobbies that relax you.
- Schedule time for prayer and reflection.
Enjoy the small achievements you have made today and celebrate them. This will help build self confidence in you. It is a double win.

Challenging Times Call for a Smile
In the past few weeks, people around our State of Illinois have been dealing with property damage and mental stress from the excessive rains. Rivers and run off have made what is normally dry, rather wet and alarming. I am sure the insurance companies are busy taking care of claims, while the homeowners scurry around cleaning and repairing damage. Challenging times can be attacked with a smile!
Challenging Times cause us to learn more!
Our world is fast pace, but when it comes to personal traumas, health issues, and stress, healing does not come as fast as the challenging issues that pop up. I was listening to WGN radio earlier today with Bill Leff and Wendy Snyder, as the topic of concussions popped up. As a parent, I was always concerned for my children and now that concern extends to my grandchildren.
As a active Counselor, I am highly aware of the potential dangers that contact sports like soccer and football can create. The studies that were referred to on the radio and that we gauge injuries to were down on brains of people who lived in the 50’s and 60’s. Now as a community, we are more aware of the potential dangers so hopefully we can avoid any long lasting damage.
Now it doesn’t mean that sports are the only issue that affect us. A lady called in the station saying she had Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and it was from being a hair dresser. The chemicals she used in that profession had an effect on her life. She now suffers from this chronic inflammatory lung disease.
We can see that there are hazards in so many areas of life. We all need to be aware of these issues, but delight in the fact that we do have good health care, kind neighbors, and opportunities that lead to healing. We need to stay positive and happy. Enjoy the warm seasons, exercise when we can, eat well, and engage in healthy relationships with other people. Stay spirited, continue to learn, and laugh often.
I have been sharing cartoons lately with my adult children. A little levity helps us all as we face challenging times. Here is sketch of our dog Petey, who had a fun personality. We caught him on film looking at a book. Sometimes we learn when we are faced this difficult moments more than we would have otherwise.
Have a great day and keep your attitude positive and brilliant! All things are temporary! Enjoy each moment.

Intro: This is Mini Miracles from Minor Moments with Linda Gullo and I welcome you to Podcast #61 on Topic of Reading Books
As a child living in Brookfield, Illinois, our family lived close to the Public Library. I began walking there early on, and that is where my love of books began. I had a special shopping bag my mother had made for me to carry the books in and at home it hung on the doorknob of my bedroom. Ironically, I still have that bag and feel attached to it! I would be there daily; checking out all kinds of books that looked exciting. Some were picture books and others written with words. The best part was all the neat bookmarks that you could have FREE with your books. I think the local schools and groups donated them. Each was so different and I recall having a collection of them. The kids section was in the lower level and sometimes is was damp down there, so we’d be allowed to sit in the sunny upper study room. When I was ten, we moved from there and we didn’t have a library nearby anymore. I felt a loss of friendship and began drawing and looking to our local grade school for books. Thankfully that helped.
Books are the friends that don’t talk back to us. They empower us to do the things that come naturally and help us engage with people who are able to express themselves in writing.
What encouraged me to talk about books today was the frequent rains and flooding that are taking over certain areas. I do hope people have plenty to read during these times of stress and when they are locked into their areas by rising waters.
As for me, I don’t feel locked in when books are available. My money has always been spent on books. I no longer go to the library since I am out the boundaries for our local one, but as I write this there are 3 different books that I want to share with you and the impact they have on me.
The first one is by Mel Robbins, who I recently rediscovered. Her first book that has been on my shelf is Stop Saying You’re Fine. It was aimed at getting through depression. As a counselor who is concerned with helping people suffering from depression, I bought it back in 2013 to read. It addressed issues that Mel, who is educated as an Attorney, was addressing for herself. She is upfront and authentic in talking about her struggles with feeling insecure, anxious, and unhappy. Here is a marvelous woman with a loving husband and children, who had so much going for herself and still expected more. In the way any one of us who is an achiever could relate to her. She took herself into a different place and helps others to do the same.
So fast forward to now when I have been reading The 5 Second Rule. I am one over 8 million people who are making her rich by reading this book. I love it and keep rereading sections. I am a sales woman for her. She teaches us to not procrastinate and encourages us to become self starters. I feel recharged to say the least. Having read the book and taken her courses has help escalate me to a new horizon.
The next book is by Alexandra Stoddard. I first began reading Daring to be Yourself many years ago and just continued reading her writings. I attended one of her presentation at a Creative Arts series at the Woodstock Opera house and fell in love with her thinking. She believes in values and putting yourself in the center of good things that are transforming. She helped me blossom with interior designing elements when I was younger and still have a love for the beautiful things like flowers, music, color, and life giving resources all around us. Choosing Happiness, which I am currently reading is similar in format with her other books. It is written in blue ink with colorful pink sidebars. Just heavenly to indulge in and enjoy without feeling guilty. It is great summertime reading. I actually read it and stop to pray as I do. It helps to relax me.
Finally the 3rd book that I am digesting is Finding Your One Word. I am reading this slowly as it asks many questions and has one doing introspective work. I am not sure I can boil my personal motto down to one word but I am trying to focus more so who knows. In sharing this with a friend, she tells me that she selects a word to focus on for each year. I am thinking I may do that quarterly. It is by Evan Carmichael and aimed at helping to create a healthy business. This one I will also be working on for awhile to glean out as much insight as possible.
At my daughter’s home, she is reading a book from 1945 about our country to her daughter who is 6 years old. It is a good way to learn some history about the USA. Of course, the child sees this as way back in the day. Pretty funny.
Reading is something to encourage early and although not every one of us likes reading, it is a great companion to many or us.
Signing off until next week. Take just one step, it may put you on the Escalator of Success!

The Secret to Success Lies in Just One Word
Laugh Along with the Flowers of the Earth
Recently I was looking at photographs and notes from a trip I took to England, Scotland, and Wales. It has been many years since I visited there, but looking at the photos took me back. The memories and thoughts I had flashed back too! There, the natural landscape is so beautiful. It is old, tranquil, and weathered. The rock formations called to me. Maybe it is because of the strength and endurance of boulders that created walls to buildings, small fence lines in the fields, and fountains. There is a permanence and feeling of history in those barriers. Along the Irish sea, one could see the bottom stones that lined the sea from the land. Beautiful, etched from time, and still so strong!
When we are young, we are resilient and open to change and the opportunities for growth. We learn from others when to shelter ourselves emotionally and how to protect ourselves from hazards, chemicals, and violence. At least, we try to be careful and strong. When we are hurt as children or get ill, we have an ability to recover quickly and well. As we wear down, our bodies begin to show their age. The wisdom and skills we have attained from trial and error and repeatedly practicing, advances. We must relish the change and use it to help others on this road called life.
In an age where social media and technology has taken over, there is a feeling of being rushed. Several families I know have headed to the Kentucky and Tennessee areas of the the United States in the last few weeks. Everyone comes back raving about the natural earth and beauty of the land. They come back refreshed having set aside their smart phones and computers for a rest. Instead of gazing at screens they move, swim, and laugh. The pace there is slower and more restful. It seems so calming and healthy. We need to let our walls come down and relish in the spirit of life love, and laughter from one another.
Today, my husband and I were outside at our waterfall. It wasn’t working well until today so it was a thrill. The sound of the water falling over the rocks was so pleasant. The beautiful white Yucca plants seems to be reaching for the sky and looked so lovely. I actually went in the kitchen where I could watch it and and sat comfortably with a cup of coffee. It is something I seldom do for myself. That is to just sit and relax without looking at the clock. I decided to start doing that more often and get off the treadmill that is so wearing and fast. I am going to walk more and capture the earth that exists in this State too.
We have trained ourselves to be productive and that is great, but in the process, so many of us are tired. The tiredness shows in the clerks that check me out in store, in the way people are carrying themselves, and in the mentality that we must get it all done. Things wait for us to get done. The flowers grow at their own pace with a little water and TLC. “The Earth Laughs in Flowers” as Ralph Waldo Emerson has said and it is true. We need to chuckle and laugh with one another too.
Have a super week with The 4th of July coming along tomorrow. Enjoy the Minor Moments and the Mini Miracles!
How to Be Happier & Advance! STEP Outside Your Comfort Zone
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Welcome to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments where our lives bloom in small ways from seemingly insignificant moments.
This is Linda Gullo and every week I bring to you a few thoughts to help you navigate through life. I want you to love life and live it with joy and a feeling of fulfillment.
How to Be Happier & Advance! STEP Outside Your Comfort Zone
Today’s message is about stepping outside of your comfort zone. Are you comfortable with stepping outside of your comfort zone? The practical side often locks us into what we feel is safe and easy. Think about your approach to seeing a new doctor, traveling to a new place, trying a new job, or learning a new profession.
Do you approach life with fear and trepidation? or joy and confidence? Where does your confidence come from? Do the people around you help or hinder you? Are you empowered from a deep faith? Are you secure in your own talents and education?
So much of how we approach life begins in the early years with our parents or care givers. We may start out adventuresome and get stymied along the way. Our genetic makeup certainly chimes in as to how we react. As adults we are often set in our ways and don’t branch out into new territories unless we are pushed. Some people feel they can go the road alone; they do not feel a community around them is a big help at all!
I watch a dog that resides across the street from us. He is a small Shepherd who sits under the trees and looks like a statue. He keeps an eye on the squirrels above. He will keep watch fearlessly, as if it is his duty. Sometimes I wonder if that is his only purpose.
Unlike this dog, we are not all that patient. We do not get so focused. We don’t see things clearly. As a result we procrastinate and go for long periods of time trying to find clarity in our decisions.
We have a “dogs life” of leisure. Our needs for shelter, food, and family insurance cause us to hesitate so we don’t jeopardize our income. So often we have jobs that we don’t like, but we feel locked into them.
Opportunities for growth are like stepping stones. As children we progress one grade at a time. Each year the curriculum pushes us further until school no longer is our guide! Then it is up to us to find hobbies, meet new people, and explore the world of opportunities.
Pathways of traveling or jobs may lead us to new and exciting places. Sometimes our way is smooth and easy to navigate. At other times a divorce, loss of money or illness seems to take away our stepping stones. There appear to be no bridges to carry us over the hurdles.
Where are the elevators to raise us up? Where are the escalators to help us move upward? As a child walking a mile to school each day, I’d play games hopping over the grooves, reading the engraved signatures of the cement company, or counting my steps. I knew the path took me to a destination; namely school. I’d often walk with other friends, but when I was alone, I walked fast and with a purpose.
I still do walk with intentionality and a drive. Just ask anyone who walks with me and they will tell you that I leave them several steps behind. I don’t do it purposely, but I have learned that walking clears my mind and refocuses me quickly.
In the last two weeks, I have been taking the Power of You course with Mel Robbins. She is so authentic and fun to follow. I’d love to hear her speak in person. Mel is one of those dynamic speakers and so very relatable. She has done TED talks, and presents herself so well. She has pushed herself through periods of self doubt and fear. It is her journey that she shares with the world.
She wrote the Best selling book called The 5 Second Rule. I have been reading it with enthusiasm and following a closed FACEBOOK group of hers.
Her book The 5 Second Rule has made me aware of some of my own moments when I hesitate to do something, because I am not clear about the direction to take.
Obviously, I am among many people, who hesitate to ruin with an idea. So I took the step of learning and using the 5 second rule and I love how much it has helped me. I hope to replace a few habits and refocus my energy on a few projects.
Life experience, reading books, and knowing people creates pathways to help us. We forge ahead through obstacles like health issues or loss of family members. Our jobs change sometimes or are eliminated without sufficient warning. Instead of seeing that as a blessing, we start to panic. There are the unexpected expenses that come from hikes in taxes, cracked septic fields, broken appliances, or the medical costs. Our attitudes get warped and it is hard to flatten them out to work properly.
The direction of where we step next becomes unknown. There are times when we feel ourselves going in circles. We do the same chores repeatedly, visit the same stores, make the same appointments and feel unappreciated by our bosses and family members. So, who can help you break the cycle of feeling this way?
You can. I can. We can all have everything we want, but we need to use this tool, namely the 5 Second Rule as one approach. Obviously it is not the only way, but trying it can’t hurt. It’s a simple process and worth the effort. Along with gratitude and volunteering some time, we can all share the things that we love, and this book is one of them I’m sharing with you.
Thanks to the windows of opportunity that come along the way, we are able to rebound. Recovery comes along with advancements in careers, money from inheritances, information from the internet, or a professional that can direct us on a new and better track. That passage to another walkway gives us motivation and a new direction. We can become more confident and, as Mel says, “develop a powerful mindset!” I am not paid to promote her book, but you can tell I am enjoying it!
Have a great week of capturing the value of the minor moments in your life. Listen with an open heart to your friends and family. Dose yourself with acceptance and forgive those that have offended you. Take the one step that may put you on the “escalator of success!”
Where Do You Go to Find Bananas?
Well you may think this is a silly question. Now-a-days, whenever anyone needs information they go to “google it!” I had just bought a bunch of bananas and thought how fortunate we were to be able to go to the grocery store and get some. Things are easily available to us and we take so much for granted. I am sure that in the olden days when people lived a distance from one another on farms, bananas were not that available. They were something special. Does that mean that when things are scarce that they hold value? 
I think of the fad products like the Cabbage Patch Dolls that became so popular in 1983. I remember trying to locate one for our daughter. She ended up with a Pumpkin Patch Doll as a substitute, because I couldn’t find one. It was just as adorable and she came to love it. Eventually, she would get a Cabbage Patch Doll as they staying popular and were all over in the years that followed.
Well today, I am referring to the yellow fruit that is grown in over 150 countries. It is used as a breakfast fruit and/or snack. Like all foods they have value when eaten in moderation. And it’s a fruit that can we carried easily and eaten on the run!
- They are loaded in Potassium which our bodies need.
- They may lower blood pressure.
- or, Reduce the risk of heart attacks & strokes! That’s certainly good!
But the downside is :
- They might raise ones’ blood sugar due to the carbs they contain.
- or, We may just tend to over indulge, because they are so tasty and easy to grab!
I remember the fun I had in Malaysia walking through a grove of banana trees,– I was told they had 144 varieties. I felt like a kid in a candy store. I literally picked one to eat. Since then, I read that there are over 1000 varieties of bananas. When one is able to travel, the things that may be available in one part of the world may seem so natural. That is the value of being able to learn about other regions. It reminds us to be appreciative for the things that are available to us. Our climates and vegetation varies from place to place.
When our kids were young, a neighbor of ours who came from Manila taught me how to coat slices that were cut on the diagonal in a rice flour, then to fry them in cooking oil. Everyone in our family loved this snack.
So today I leave you with a thought of recognizing and appreciating the things we take for granted. Let’s take delight in the small, but highly significant foods and resources that are all around us. Let the minor gifts of convenience be a mini miracle in your life. With all the major conflicts, the sadnesses in the world, and the many mistakes we all make, life can still be uplifting and healing!
Peace for your day!
Why Do We Need Pruning?
In the last year we have had to have 4 beautiful trees cut down due to a disease. 5 of them have been fully developed 40 year Blue Spruces. They provided a lovely fragrance, a privacy barrier to our corner yard, and shade for the smaller plantings. Now things seem so bare. I laughingly said we had a temporary Palm Tree in our yard as one of them came down.
Ahh no!
Like the vegetation that grows for food, the trees that provide shade for us and the books that provide mental exercise for our brains we need to make space for new growth. We are hopefully leaving behind and pruning ourselves; trying to be better and better. Our need to learn new and updated information helps us stay vital. Our vision needs to be focused.
This man, high in the tree, had up-to-date gear for his safety. A harness and equipment that was designed for him to do the job he needed to perform on a regular basis was strapped around his body.
The accountant learns the latest software programs to function well. He or she confers with other people in the industry.
A good doctor is continually learning about the procedures he needs. He or she needs to be updated on medications that are new. They read studies on the value of using different equipment.
As a Behavioral Health specialist, I have learned there are many modalities to use. Each person that comes here is different and requires a different approach. Being eclectic is important for each patient or client to help healing and breakthroughs. Growth comes in small doses, but helps one to deal with the issues at hand.
So my questions to you is these. What new classes do you need to take? Are you working with a Psychotherapist or Life Coach to learn more? Do you prefer one-on-one help or to be hidden in a group? Are you a professional who is “successful,” but unhappy?
Here at Delight in Living, Ltd. and with Mini Miracles from Minor Moments, we try to answer these questions and help you like yourself and enjoy life. Feel on top of the world like this man on the top of this tree. We offer “hope” and a time to be recharged!
