This weekโ€™s Heart & Soul is a test.
Hang onโ€ฆdonโ€™t scroll by. Give me a minute.

Hereโ€™s the test: If youโ€™ve read any of the previous Heart & Soul Posts over the last five weeks, whatโ€™s different about this weekโ€™s Heart & Soul Title?

Honestly, if I didnโ€™t write these posts I wouldnโ€™t know either.
Thatโ€™s my point.

We have become a society of skimmers, scanners and scroll-on-byers. Itโ€™s not our fault. More, itโ€™s the by-product of the world of immediacy in which weโ€™re immersed, primarily due to social and online media.

Iโ€™m not complaining about such advances. Many of them are amazing---life changing. Itโ€™s just that there are times I wonder if, in our hurry to be the quickest, most well-informed society, weโ€™re missing out on the elements that make us human. Things that connect us in ways that encourage kindness and consideration---true communication.

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™ve decided to launch a podcast.

Yeah, I know. Me and a million others. But hold on---hear me out on how this podcast will be different.

Each week I will invite you into my virtual home. Like any home, it will contain a collection of rooms, each with their own dรฉcor---themes, if you will. The podcast topic will be centered on the dรฉcor/theme of the room in which weโ€™re gathering that week.

Now, hereโ€™s where it really gets good.

These podcasts will be broadcast LIVE online via zoom. They will be free and open to the public and will encourage interaction. And by interaction I mean your voice being heard.

The podcast will debut on Thursday, March 12th at 7:30pm. More information will come as the date draws near. I just wanted to start sharing the news and hopefully engage and encourage you to join me.

As for this weekโ€™s test? If you think you know the answer, reach out to me via this websiteโ€™s contact page. (www.christinaabt.com/contact). If you send me th the correct answer by next Thursday (Feb. 26) you will be entered to win a signed copy of one of my books, including my newest The Secret Sand Circle (winnerโ€™s choice.)

Have fun!
