The Power of Forgiveness

A moment to listen

Hey there, my fellow like-hearted humans,

I hope your week is off to an easy start. I wanted to share with you the latest episode of The Kintsugi Podcast, where we dive into stories of connection and mindfulness from my Rise 2 Ripple bike ride across America in 2022.

In this episode, I take you on a journey through Indiana and Ohio. From Terre Haute, Indiana, and the home of?The Candles Holocaust Museum,?started by Eva Kor, to?Mocha Mouse Coffee and Antiques?in Rushville, Indiana, to heartwarming moments from?Tom's Ice Cream Bowl?in Zanesville, Ohio. We explore themes of forgiveness, healing, and the power of human connection.

From humorous encounters at local cafes to profound reflections on forgiveness and unity, this episode is a reminder of the goodness and resilience within us all. As we navigate these challenging times, it's essential to pause, breathe, and reflect on the moments that bring us together.

I invite you to listen to the episode and join me in celebrating our golden symbols of strength and resilience. Let's continue to spread kindness, understanding, and compassion in our daily interactions.

You can listen to the episode on your favorite podcast platform or directly on our website. If you enjoy the podcast, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave a kind review and share the episode with your friends and family.

I will be wrapping up this series in October. If you've enjoyed them, please let me know and if you haven't, do the same - I got thick skin. ??
