  • When I hurt, this is here

    I’ve gone many months away from this podcast. I’ve forgotten about it all together many times. But, somehow, when I am feeling truly low, it finds me once more. Or maybe I find it. Nonetheless, when I hurt, this is here. I have never found a better podcast, and I don’t need to.

I am so glad I started listening now as there is such a treasure chest of episodes to choose from every time I want to listen to one which has practically become a dai... more
