Do you know the difference between being Thankful and having Gratitude?

Gratitude is an action, a choice.
Thankfulness is a feeling.

Being Thankful is at the origin of Gratefulness as you need the feeling, the emotion to drive the action of Gratitude which is an action that you take each and every day. You can be thankful for when someone helps you with groceries or holds open a door when you need it most. Being Grateful is then taking that feeling and letting it drive you to appreciate others through your own actions. Akin to 'Paying it forward', except you make it part of your being, your values that your govern your life by.
We speak about our struggles of thankfulness when we were in the middle of Brooke's treatments. While we very thankful for the staff that helped we were very bitter over watching Brooke endure the pain. That was until we searched and understood that through the Law of Attraction, the power of Gratitude can show us there is more to this experience.
Thank you to our radiologists Tracy and Tom - you always tried to help and accommodate us every time we came down for 47 days of Brooke's radiation. We love you!

The power of Collective Wisdom

Send us a text

What in the World is Collective Wisdom ?
If you ever tried to solve a problem or come up with ideas to only discover when you leaned in and asked for help that ideas began to emerge in a matter of moments - Then you experienced Collective Wisdom. What we discuss here and look to leverage to help bring Brooke's Light to the more people is on a grander scale & we uncovered that no matter how different we are there is a higher purpose we are called for.
When Brooke was receiving treatment, care and services during those eight months between May '18 & Jan '19, we met a lot of people and several have had a lifelong impact on us. They helped the Pearson family in a multitude of ways and November 7th they reconvened on a Zoom call to unlock their Collective Wisdom with us. Many of them had not seen each since before Brooke had passed so there were some bittersweet memories - and what was uncovered was nothing short of astounding.
Mark attended a very special kind of training in Ohio in 2019 using the Xchange Approach that teaches how to facilitate conversations to unlock the power of Collective Wisdom. He had a vision as a trainee to one day use this approach to bring together Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Therapists and most importantly caregivers and patients to share the knowledge first hand - feel heard - and one day truly change the face of Pediatric Cancer & someday all Cancer Care.
This podcast was dedicated to Kyle & Briana from the Leptomeningeal Cancer Facebook group. The work Kyle puts into this group nothing short of miraculous. We are so blessed to have finally got to meet them both. God Bless you.
Please go to this group to learn so much about LMD, treatments and read the stories of countless people whom have been affected by this gruesome disease.
We can make a difference through awareness.

The Struggle

Send us a text

I think we can all agree that for the first time in a very, very long time people around this planet have struggled in some manner. Financially, physically, mentally & spiritually - Whether you lost a job, a home, your vehicle or the worst loss of all - a Loved one.
The struggle is real and many of us deal with it the same or differently, however, we must all experience it as it helps us grow - it becomes a part of us and we all have a choice on how we handle it.
This episode is especially important as Kyle is experiencing some tough times that he helps work out right on the show.
Mark mentioned renowned public speaker Josh Shipp on the episode and here is the YT video where he explains the saying "It's actually our imperfections that make us human and our humanity that makes us influential."
