PODCAST- Hustling, Bustling and Wrestling to find rest… with Malinda Fuller

Oh yeah, it’s aaaalll about the Hustle here today on the Isle. So the question, of course is, would you consider yourself a Hustler? No, not this kind. Nope, not this one either (great movie, though). THIS ONE. Here. That’s what I’m talkin bout. The Hustle. Setting goals. Crushing them. Like nobody’s business. Yeah. That. […]

PODCAST- Chaos and Creativity… Allen Arnold is back!

It’s the last day of summer. I don’t know about you, but for me there’s always that little twinge of wistfulness that comes with this transition. Now of course, fall is certainly lovely and technicolor-y and pumpkin spicey and all, in its own right. Ah, but summer’s so easy and breezy and lazy and hazy […]

Bla Bla Bla Battles… and the Knockout Punch for the Weakling

We’re getting ready to move. And by getting ready to move, I mean methodically checking off an ever-expanding, color coded excel spreadsheet of prioritized tasks, lovingly hand-crafted by my brilliant engineer husband in the time honored tradition of our nerd-forefathers from days gone by. It sounds so simple, so straight forward. Make the list. Do […]

PODCAST- Hanging out WITH Allen Arnold, just like a Bohemian

Chances are, if you’re here (and you are here, right?) there’s something that’s drawn you to our little Oasis for the Offbeat. Perhaps you even identify as, or at least resonate with this whole Misfit Persona. But the real question is… do you consider yourself a Bohemian? And if so, what kind of Bohemian are […]

PODCAST: Amanda Barratt, and an untold tale of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s lost love…

It’s just your basic, every day “Boy Meets Girl, Girl waits for Boy while he’s imprisoned for plotting against Hitler” kind of love story. And… it’s all true. I loved this conversation with Amanda Barratt. She knows of what, and of whom she speaks. A real, bonafide researcher. In fact, I do believe Research is […]

PODCAST- Living with purpose. On purpose. With Anita Agers-Brooks.

Do you ever feel like you’re asking too much? You might, rabbit, you might. (Shameless Bugs Bunny reference, for those of you playing at home) Or… maybe not. Maybe the problem is, you’re not asking for enough. Maybe, just maybe you’ve set your sights too small.I’m just sayin.Maybe there’s more. Exceedingly more for you.How can […]

PODCAST- Tina Donovan and her Fantastical Fuchsia Cow Transformations

Tina Donovan is no fuchsia cow. You heard me right. But don’t take my word for it. Listen for yourself. She’ll tell you. That, and so much more, my Misfit Friends. So. Much. More. https://soundcloud.com/user-410484965/tina-donovan

PODCAST-Sons and Daughters and Men and Women and Stuff… with Kathleen L. Maher: writing machine!

She’s back on the Isle… and not just because I strong-armed her, being the big sister and all (which I am not above doing)… but the girl’s got a brand new book out. And it’s GOOD, ya’ll (I can say y’all cause it takes place in the south. I am not misappropriating culture here). And […]
