This past year The Greatest Showman hit theaters and touched many hearts. Part of the allure of this fabulous film was the music. But if we look a bit further the lyrics of those songs are not only catchy but inspiring. On today’s echo a favorite of mine, Alex Boye explores the Million Dreams in all of us. Enjoy this colorful and uplifting rendition of this song.

Thousands of pets each year are killed or seriously injured from Rattlesnake bites. If they survive it cost’s thousands of dollars and may not even save their lives. Just today we took our 2 standard poodles to JJ of Sublime Canine here in Tucson. This video today talks about how Rattlesnake avoidance training is done. If you are in the Tucson area I highly recommend JJ of Sublime K9… (520) 975-0878

Great video today featuring Les Brown, Wayne Dyer, Neil Gaiman and Jim Rohn. How often do you take time to plan and see what you really want. NO I don’t mean dream and fantasize….. I mean time to realize what you want and take time to plan, prepare, WORK….. See the obstacles that will keep you from the goal and develop a plan to conquer those obstacles. The illusion of having a vision is you just have to think about it….There is far more than thinking about it but THINKING usually starts the process and can’t be eliminated.

As a sports fan I have seen my fair share of press conference’s. What would if be like if a Pastor had a Monday morning Press Conference? On today’s echo Pastor Trent has his own Monday Morning Presser. Take a look and have a laugh.

A great echo for you today. Have you ever stepped back and wondered about your life? This pale blue dot we live on? The millions of people who have lived and died on this earth. The greats, the hero’s, the dictator’s, the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters. How do you fit in the grand scheme of things. Spend a couple minutes today contemplating this short clip.

I have owned a TrueForm Runner for a couple of years now. I brag about it’s ability to help correct running poor mechanics. On today’s episode we see it’s use in helping elite athletes increase their top speed.

Just this past week I was discussing the topic of Family and Anger with another person. There had been a death in the family of this person and the settlement of the Will had left many of them on Non-Speaking terms. I believe the family is the greatest place we find joy, happiness and love. So why then does this same family union also have moments of anger, despair, and pain. On today’s echo I share a video from an older talk by Elder Lynn Robbins with added examples. Anger many times is the culprit of these hardships in our families. How often have we used the phrase, “I am sorry I just lost my temper”….Hmmm Lost? Take a listen and all of us can do a better job of love and compassion in our most treasured relationships on earth.
