  Your weekly pattern has you in a dead-end loop. You feel yourself spiraling, gravity dragging you toward the nucleus you don’t want absorbing you.  I’ve been there too.   We want to “set our hearts and minds on things above” and not to “conform to the patterns of this world but to be transformed by renewing the mind.”  How do we allow God to create the new pattern, the new path for our minds to trek each week?I’ve recorded this audio-booklet to share the few verses and thoughts that helped me seek God’s path for my heart, mind, and life.  Listen to the short devo for each day of the week and remind yourself of the day’s focus frequently during the day.  See if it doesn’t help you.  I would encourage you to repeat multiple weeks until you know the day’s focus and recall the verses by heart.

  Stress and Anxiety -...

  Stress is an inevitable part of life, and everyone experiences it in different ways. It can be triggered by external factors, such as work pressures, relationship challenges, or financial difficulties, or it can stem from internal thoughts and perceptions. Understanding stress and its triggers is the first step toward managing it effectively. In this chapter, we will explore what stress is, how it impacts our well-being, and how we can recognize and understand the triggers that lead to stress. 
  At its core, stress is the body’s natural response to perceived threats or demands. When faced with a stressful situation, the body activates the "fight or flight" response, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that prepare us to take action. While this response is helpful in short bursts, prolonged stress can have serious consequences on both the mind and body. Chronic stress can lead to health problems such as anxiety, depression, digestive issues, and even heart disease. Recognizing when stress is becoming overwhelming is crucial for maintaining our health. 
  Triggers are the specific events, situations, or thoughts that set off the stress response. Triggers can vary from person to person, depending on their past experiences, personality, and current life circumstances. For one person, an argument with a loved one may be a significant trigger, while for someone else, the pressure of a looming deadline at work may be more stressful. By identifying and understanding our triggers, we can begin to take steps to manage them and prevent unnecessary stress.

  Being Aware of Being Aware explores our primary, most intimate and familiar experience: the knowing of our own being, or awareness’s knowing of itself in us. However, awareness, or the experience of simply ‘being aware’, has no observable qualities and is, therefore, usually overlooked or ignored. The returning of awareness to itself – being aware of being aware – is the essence of meditation and prayer, and the direct path to lasting peace and happiness.

  Foreword read by Melissa McCarthy and featuring the voices of Stephen, Margaret, and Flynn Falcone. 
  A funny and intimate look at fatherhood from the actor and writer/director of The Boss and Tammy that combines stories about his own larger-than-life dad and how his experiences raising two daughters with his wife, Melissa McCarthy, who also penned the Foreword, are shaped by his own childhood. 
  Though he’s best known for his appearances in the movie Enough Said, as well as his hilarious role as Air Marshall Jon in Bridesmaids, Ben Falcone isn’t a big shot movie star director at home. There, he’s just dad. In this winning collection of stories, Ben shares his funny and poignant adventures as the husband of Melissa McCarthy, and the father of their two young daughters. He also shares tales from his own childhood in Southern Illinois, and life with his father—an outspoken, brilliant, but unconventional man with a big heart and a somewhat casual approach to employment named Steve Falcone. 
  Ben is just an ordinary dad who has his share of fights with other parents blocking his view with their expensive electronic devices at school performances. Navigating the complicated role of being the only male in a house full of women, he finds himself growing more and more concerned as he sounds more and more like his dad. While Steve Falcone may not have been the briefcase and gray flannel suit type, he taught Ben priceless lessons about what matters most in life. A supportive, creative, and downright funny dad, Steve made sure his sons’ lives were never dull—a sense of adventure that carries through this warm, sometimes hilarious, and poignant memoir.
