Welcome to the second season of Life As Spiritual Practice! I am delighted to be back with new conversations about experiencing ordinary life as a way to connect with the divine.
This first conversation is a special one for me: it’s with my mom, Lou Ann Horstman. Lou Ann’s story is a primary inspiration for this podcast. Her journey with singing, from the barriers she overcame to embrace it fully to the depth of spiritual connection she experiences through it, is incredible. You will want to sing more after you hear this. You’ll also want to think about what practices might already exist in your life: what connection points you might already be experiencing, that you just haven’t had permission to name yet. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
We’ll be airing episodes every other week for Season 2, so I’ll be back in two weeks with a new conversation. Thanks for listening!
