Podcast 25: 6 Ways to Bring Gratitude Into Your Life

In this Thanksgiving edition of The Daily Saint podcast, we discuss 6 ways to bring gratitude into your life.  Each of us knows what it feels like to be grateful but how do you make it a regular practice?  

As a New Jersey resident, I learned firsthand the tough lessons of loss and gratitude after Hurricane Sandy left millions without power for over a week. Even after most of Jersey has had its power restored, there are plenty of reasons for which to be grateful.

Shownotes include:

• ShrinkingTheCamel.com and author Jim Wood.  Jim's new e-Book, At Work as it is in Heaven, can be found here.
• LifeOfASteward.com.  Loren Pinilis has an excellent take on time management and his newpodcast is great.
• Michael Hyatt's post, The 7 Benefits of Keeping a Daily Journal 
• My post on life, post-Hurricane Sandy, What I Learned From a Week Without Power
• Seth Godin's book, Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

Podcast 24: Experiments in Faith

In this cast we discuss the role of a "faith experiment" in order to produce lasting results.  While my experiment was not intentional, I outline three ways that you can design your own process of being stretched by God.  

An experiment of faith is essentially a test that you put yourself through in order to grow in your faith.  Similar to the monks who push their bodies and minds to the limit, a faith experiment is a simple way to grow in your faith.

Podcast 23: Working From Home

In this cast we follow up the post I wrote called Here's a Method for Working From Home When You Have Kids. If you are like me, you have to occasionally take work home with you.  This isn't a big deal if you live by yourself but if you are married or have kids, dividing your energy and time could become a problem.  

This cast will show you how to add some slight adjustments to how you work from home so that your peeps don't get made at you and you don't fall behind in your work.

Notes include:

ELance.com:  if you need some freelance work done or are shopping for a virtual assistant, ELance.com is a great resource.
