Episode Description

Dogs bring love and joy into our lives. Science shows many benefits of having dogs: lowers blood pressure and heart rate; decreases loneliness, stress, and doctor visits; increases happiness and social interactions; staves off depression; lowers a child’s chance of becoming allergic to pets; gives people a reason to get up; and increases exercise and cognitive function. Here are some of my guest’s fondest memories of fostering dogs: comforting a 4-week-old sick puppy by rocking him like a baby and talking to him while he was gazing into her eyes; “realizing that Tiny Todd’s sweet brothers were finding ways to include that dear little pup born with challenges that made him unable to play the regular ways;” and receiving emails from adoptive parents sent weeks, months, and years after adoption filled with photos and messages like, “we love her so much” and “can’t imagine life without him.” Please join us Thursday to hear heart-warming and humorous stories about fostering dogs.

Uplift Your Life: Nourishment of the Spirit

Thursday at 8 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel

Learning to see life from a spiritual perspective can change the way we think, which changes everything. As we let go of fear, worry, regret, blame, anger, guilt, resentment, jealousy and shame, we can create the loving, joyful, prosperous, healthy life that we want and deserve.

The best or worst place to live is in our own mind. You will learn how to weed out the negativity and to be grateful and positive in word, thought and deed, resulting in your ever-increasing happiness. Uplift Your Life: Nourishment of the Spirit is broadcast live every Thursday at 8 AM Pacific Time on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel.
