Girl Meets Girl

In a break from the usual format, we feature excerpts from conversations with podcast listeners Lilian & Theresa (who visited Los Angeles all the way from Singapore!), Ken, and Lauren.  Thanks so much all of you!  You can also view a short (1:31) video taken by Siena, of when we were recording this Ep, here.  And another video (2:04) that didn't get into the Ep, here.  (Pictured: a mooncake with the character for "money" or "gold" on it.)

Seasons & Divine Timing.  When it seems like your life is at a standstill, and things didn't turn out as you had hoped or envisioned (yet), remember the seasons of nature, and the difference and the balance between divine timing and our human plans.  (Pictured: Siena getting ready to feed a llama at the county fair petting zoo)

If your cat gets sick, you get blasted with 97+ degree heat, and then your shin gets bruised up and bleeding (it looked better after being iced) of course you still have a lot to be grateful for, right?
(Pictured: MAKENA on the August 2007 cover of Australian magazine LOTL)

It's a new month and you can vote for GMG at PodcastAlley again :)

If you enter a "comment" and it looks like you need to enter the "code" twice, go ahead and enter it.  Your comment should show up only once.  IF it shows up twice, we'll delete the second one for you so you don't look overly insistent.

FYI -- we do have a new episode #30 See Yourself As Fortunate (along with the winner for the "hot contest" ;) all ready to go and have tried to publish it, but libsyn is acting weird and we're not seeing it update this page :(  We immediately sent an email describing and requesting support regarding this issue and of course hope to have it resolved ASAP.  We hope this text-only post will publish, at least, and apologize for this delay.  Let's hang in there, gang!  As always, thanks for checking in, for your support, and to all the Americans: have a wonderful Labor Day holiday.
