Let Yourself Sparkle Podcast

This week, the focus is doing what makes you happy. Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love-  shares a story (in her book Big Magic), about how so often we tend to throw away the activities and hobbies we love because we realize we might never become a champion. She shares a story of a friend of hers who used to figure skate in her youth but stopped because she realized there were so many people who were so much better than her. Through soul searching — years later in life, she started skating again and it made her feel so alive and filled with joy.

So often we stop doing what we love because we realize it wont amount to fame or a lucrative career. What used to bring you joy? It can be anything from knitting or singing to horseback riding. Can you find some time to do it this week?!

Special thanks to Cathy Heller and her podcast “Don’t Keep Your Day Job” for the inspiration to put this show together.  Her song “Gonna Make a Change” is featured in the intro and ending of this podcast.
