A perfect short story for your commute to work, this episode hear from a sender about the ultimate betrayal. However, when one door closes, 10 more open. When bad things are cleared it makes room for the good, for what's meant to be. So I hope this listener and anyone that can relate to this episode knows it's not really a loss if it puts you where you're meant to be and with the people who are meant to love you.

Sorry for the late upload, talk about RECOVERING from New Year's, I hope your celebration no matter how wild or tame was exactly what you hoped for. Be safe, be kind, and enjoy the episode.

Christmas for most is a whimsical time full of love, light, laughter, and joy, for many this feels like a time straight out of a movie. However, for many the holidays just add extra stress and pain, luckily there are many people that have come together to try and bridge this gap creating programs like Angel Tree or Operation Christmas Child. This episode I share my experience of donating through the website One Simple Wish, a year round giving program that makes it easy and enjoyable to help/uplift youth and young adults impacted by the foster system. There's a story, wish, a gift, that I'm sure will inspire you to give all you have to do is look. Truly the greatest joy I've experienced this holiday season had nothing to do with what i got and everything to do with what I gave.
