It's Juxtaword
It's Juxtaword
Megan Moore & Rachel Laird
Division seems to be all around us right now. Opposing sides. Contrasting view points. However, we know through art and literature, that contrast can bring beauty and wholeness. Life's juxtapositions. Through this podcast, Rachel and Megan use their love of words and analogies to get a bird's-eye view of the masterpiece in which we all play a part. Join us for each episode as we discuss a word, what it means to us, and the power we can gain from it.
14. Practice
Practice makes progress. We have been discussing habits a lot lately and "practice" just fits right in there. Practicing feels more gentle than the unyielding nature of resolutions. So instead, let's make progress toward the direction we wish to take ourselves through small practices.

10. Disorientation
A very unexpected event this week left Rachel feeling a bit disoriented. After digging into that feeling a bit, it was easy to compare to how many of us must be feeling after living through this current pandemic and tumultuous time. How can we better orient our days and our lives so we aren't just wandering aimless and disoriented?

9. Forgiveness
Do you forgive and forget? Or hold grudges? Our ability to forgive directly effects the control we have over our own lives. Without forgiveness, we succumb to a life of victimhood. How good are you at forgiving others? What about forgiving yourself? Turns out there are some steps you can follow to help you along the path of forgiveness...and with that forgiveness comes freedom."Suffering is universal. But victimhood is optional." - Dr. Edith Eger

8. Opposite
Black and white, hot and cold, happy and sad. They may be opposites, but in order to be defined as such, they have to have something in common. A fascinating topic when applied to human behavior. A look at opposites turns into a search for commonality. "The life of this world is nothing but the harmony of opposites" ~Rumi
