Right Here! Right Now!
RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW! is a brand new podcast where we remind you that being present and mindful in each of our moments is the only way to truly be able to learn. And from LEARNING comes GROWTH! A true transformation into our most authentic selves. The mindset is that we must be present and looking for the lesson in what we are experiencing - day to day; moment to moment. And one of the primary purposes of learning and growth is to take us to places we did not think were possible and to prepare us for a challenge that will make us better human beings; or the lives of our families better; even to help our colleagues and those in our charge better. Sometimes the challenges are known - so many times the challenges are a bit of a surprise. As long as we see the challenge as an opportunity, we will learn from them and carry on to better places down a path lined with lessons and teachings. We recognize in this philosophy that we have the capacity - even the responsibility - to begin again - and your NEW beginning starts RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!

I Don't Want to Grow Up - Right Here! Right Now!
In this heartfelt poetry episode, I am sharing a personal piece dedicated to my beloved boys—and to all of us who wish to hold on to the wonder and freedom of our youth. Through these words, I hope to reflect on the bittersweet journey of growing up and the desire to keep the magic of childhood alive, despite life’s inevitable pressures and responsibilities.
Join me as I read aloud my original work in this beloved connection of words in this poem, I don't want to grow up, a moving reminder to “keep your head up” and “stay young at heart.” I invite listeners to embrace every moment, to find joy in the little things, and to bring that childlike curiosity into all things in our older lives. In a world that often tells us to “grow up,” this poem is a call to slow down, remain present, and make each moment truly count in a wondrous spirit of childlike curiosity - with an open heart and an open mind.
Key Themes in This Episode:
- Cherishing Youthful Wonder: A reflection on how to carry the joy and simplicity of childhood forward, even as we navigate adulthood and perhaps even old age.
- Mindfulness and Presence: These words offer a powerful reminder to live fully in each moment, making it a timeless treasure.
- Staying True to Yourself: Encouragement for listeners to keep their inner child alive, resisting the pressures to conform to a “grown-up” world that might dim their light.
Notable Excerpts from the Poem:
“I don’t want to grow older… I just want to be back in time for a life that was based on the time we erased, to drop back into those wondrous times where time wasn’t timed.”
