Join me, Lisa Hopkins, as I share a heartfelt exploration of this idea, starting with a nostalgic visit to Henry's Diner.

What has happened to the art of capturing genuine, spontaneous moments? Join me, Lisa Hopkins, as I reflect on the essence of photography and the elusive beauty of imperfect memories. From the joyous chaos of photo booths during our teenage years to the meticulous curation of our lives on social media, I ponder the balance between capturing real experiences and our pursuit of digital perfection. Together, we explore the profound shift in how we perceive and engage with the world through the lens, and I challenge you to consider your own motivations for taking and sharing photos in this ever-evolving landscape.
Photography is not just about the image itself; itβs a reflection of our perspective and a window into our personal narratives. As I share my journey as an amateur photographer, I invite you to reminisce about the days of film and imperfect snapshots, urging a return to living in the moment. While technology has granted us access to breathtaking images and experiences, itβs crucial to remember the value of authenticity in our digital interactions. Letβs embrace the beauty of imperfect memories and cherish the connections we forge through photography. Stay safe, stay healthy, and continue finding meaning in the images that speak to us.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!

Have you ever wondered if a gentle approach can truly be more powerful than force? Inspired by the wisdom of my 95-year-old mother-in-law, Anna, I explore the timeless fable of "The North Wind and the Sun," a story she recounts with such elegance and clarity. This episode promises to illuminate the enduring debate between power and persuasion, revealing how warmth and kindness can achieve outcomes that sheer force cannot. With Anna's remarkable memory and insight as a guiding light, this tale becomes a poignant reminder of the strength found in gentleness.
As we journey through this enchanting fable together, we're reminded of the power of kindness in our daily lives. Embrace the moral of this story, which teaches that gentle persuasion often triumphs where aggression and bluster fail. In today's world, where forceful tactics can seem pervasive, let's rediscover the transformative power of warmth and compassion. I'm Lisa Hopkins, encouraging you to stay safe, healthy, and to remember the importance of living in the moment. Sending love and light to all my dear listeners.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review! Word of mouth is incredibly impactful and your support is much appreciated!

What if grief could be your greatest teacher? Join me as I honor my mom's memory and explore the unexpected gifts that grief has bestowed upon my life. In a heartfelt episode, I read a special segment from my book, The Places When There Are Spaces, where I reflect on the chapter "The Gifts in Grief." Through vivid recollections of the autumn of 2018, I share how my mother's passion for dance continues to inspire me, and ponder the moments we might have shared together. From imagining her first tap class to talking about my new apartment in New York City, her presence is felt in every step I take.
As I brace for the seventh anniversary of her passing, I find solace in the strength and resilience I've uncovered through loss. I encourage listeners who have experienced similar journeys to seek the hidden lessons and growth that can emerge from grief. With immense gratitude, I celebrate the deepened bond with my dad and the everlasting love of a mother that remains a guiding force in my life. Join me as I light her mosaic candle and raise a glass to her enduring presence, cherishing each moment and embracing her magic that continues to illuminate my path.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!
