The Journey of My Mother’s Son – Episode #101 – Many Little People

There has never been a bad answer to that question on the show.  Most of the answers have helped restore my hope in humanity.  Obviously, I couldn’t put together all 100 answers, but I was able to put together a few.  These are not necessarily the best answers, they’re just some of the answers, in no particular order.

I hope that they will help restore your hope in humanity as well as inspire you to go out and do something little each day in order to help make the world a better place.

Toni Reece – Journey of My Mother’s Son, Episode #100

Toni has been a colleague, dear friend, and mentor of mine for ten years.  She was the one who initially got me into podcasting in the first place.  She was behind the scenes and at the control panel for 267 episodes of the original podcast that I had hosted from 2012 through early 2020, Stepping Up to the Plate.  She was on the microphone and the guest host of episode number one of this podcast when we launched it on February 25, 2020.

A Different Kind of Beautiful

When we first arrived at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana, we could see that the park had been severely damaged by the two hurricanes that came through the area back in the late summer of 2020.  We were told that 90% of the trees in the park had been destroyed.  Although I had heard that statistic many times since the project had started, I’m not sure that it really hit me until that short ride with Lori.

Even with every time that one of the churches or community groups would come in to feed us, the people would all tell us the same thing.  Yet still, I don’t think that I was really able to comprehend the extent of damage until I heard it from Lori.  Not that I didn’t believe the other people from the community.  I guess it’s just that when you hear it from someone near and dear to you, it’s only then that it really hits home.  The raw emotion of the moment is something that I won’t soon forget.

Dan & Sandy Clouser – Episode #99, A little Reflection

This is the 99th episode of The Journey of My Mother’s Son podcast, so I wanted to sit down and have a conversation with my wife to talk about some of the highlights of being on the road full-time for over 19 months now.

We recorded this episode on Easter Sunday while staying at the beautiful Talona Ridge RV Resort in East Ellijay, Georgia.  We were blessed to be able to spend the holiday with a view of the gorgeous mountain ranges that surrounded us in North Georgia.
