I real­ized I’d been given the very resources I needed for heal­ing and I made a com­mit­ment to devote myself to a daily prac­tice of apply­ing them. I started that morning.  Six months later, I’d dropped the 40+ extra pounds I’d been car­ry­ing for years (with­out diet­ing) and my health and con­scious­ness had com­pletely trans­formed! Today I am well, bet­ter than well, I thrive!”–Lynne For­rest Lynne is a per­pet­ual stu­dent of life and con­scious­ness.  She has devoted her career to study­ing with mas­ters of var­i­ous dis­ci­plines ranging from Jun­gian prin­ci­ples to laws of man­i­fes­ta­tion to yoga & qigong, all approaches which Lynne applies in her work with others.

Brenda McMorrow is a Canadian Devotional Chant artist whose fascination with the transformational power of music has drawn her to explore sound and chant traditions first-hand across the planet. Her early musical career began when she moved from British Columbia to Ontario to attend university in the early 1990’s. She was one of the founders of folk/rock band Julia Propeller -a campus radio and CBC favourite – which released two celebrated albums, toured extensively and opened for and shared festival rosters with acts like Ani Difranco and Bruce Cockburn. It was when Brenda participated in her first Sanskrit chant while attending a Yoga workshop in 2004 that she had a profound knowing about where her musical journey was leading. Brenda remembers: “It was a very simple chant (Om Namah Shivaya), and at the time I had no idea what it signified: all I knew was that every cell in my body started vibrating, and I felt absolute joy”. Believe, when you hear Brenda's voice & music, YOU will be the One vibrating with joy!! <3  00:02:00JocelynbrocknoBrenda McMorrow,chant,white swan records,western woman,dalai lamaHere it is....the show I alluded to....another amazing international recording artist....the AMAZING & accomplished Brenda McMorrow!!!

Their medical team had informed them that there was nothing that could be done. There no hope for Bethany! Due to a lack of funding there was very little MLD Research being conducted anywhere around the world.  Determined to make a difference, the McIntyre family, their friends and co-workers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca) formed Bethanys Hope Committee. They were committed to raise research capitol and during the first 12 months of operation this small but dedicated group of Volunteers raised over $100,000 through donations, golf tournaments, bingos, BBQs and a Charity Gala Ball.

On our most recent show, we had Maryanne MacDonald who is doing her part as an environmentalist.  We've discussed stepping into & living 'ON' purpose as a way to create change on this planet.  There's music & art & politics & so many ways for individuals to express their opinions & passions about 'saving' the world.  And then, there are those who are on the front lines, so to speak....those who chain themselves to fences, lie in front of tanks, bang pots & pans & march & Occupy.  Some might say that it doesn't get more 'active' than the 'activist'. The guest for our next show, could absolutely be described in this way.  Wendy Goldsmith is a mother, a social worker, a dear friend & passionately devout soldier for all things which support equality & fairness.  She lives on the front lines of political storms & walks her talk in ALL WAYS.  Stay on Wendy's good side, & you'll be invited to porch parties that delight & astound....drop the ball on policy that you've stated you'll uphold & she'll be outside your door banging on a pot to remind you to step back onto the path of integrity.  Wendy is one woman, among throngs of 1000's, 'actively' doing her part to save the world...I think she's doing the Dalai Lama proud :)    00:31:00Jocelynbrocknooccupy,western woman,dalai lama,activist,save the worldThere are probably as many opinions about what 'saving the world' means as there are people on this planet....so where does one begin??

Figuring out our show topics is beginning to become difficult, IN A GOOD WAY, because we have so many options & so many amazing guests coming up!!  This week, we've decided on a wonderful woman, local here in London Canada, but WORDLY in deeds.  Maryanne MacDonald is an ECO force to be reckoned with!!  At age 62, she announces her occuption as 'Organizer of Waste Free World'.  How great is that??!!! Two years ago, MacDonald and a friend started the London plastic bag project, trying to get Londoners to stop using plastic bags. A few months later she partnered with the organizers of some local summer festivals in figuring out how to reduce the amount of waste generated from the London festivals. That summer the London Green Festivals team, led by MacDonald, helped divert half the waste generated by the festivals from the landfill. MacDonald said the more she read and learned about the destruction of the environment, the more she felt compelled to do something for future generations.

After show chats are almost as great as during the show chats & often that is where new show ideas come to life.  Today after our 'Living ON Purpose' show, Elaine & Penn & I were having a conversation about the 'inclusivity' concept of I Am the Western Woman.  Elaine mentioned that she had received some feedback in that regard.   The feedback came from a wonderful & compassionate woman who feels that stating that 'we are all Western women', meaning EVERYONE, is an unrealistic concept & that women in Westernized culture have a duty to speak out for women in other cultures who we perceive as 'oppressed' in some way or ways.  We spoke at some length about this & decided that we needed to do a show on this topic. Approximately 1 hour later, I was walking down a main city street where I live & was approached by a beautiful young woman named Nusaiba.   Nusaiba was wearing a hijab (head covering) & chabor (full long sleeve & to the ground robelike garment).  She was part of a group of individuals who were peacefully raising awareness about the plight of the citizens of Syria.  After a very short conversation with her, I knew she had to be on the show to discuss what the Dalai Lama's quote 'The Western Woman will save the world' means to her.  Shortly thereafter, I was at a festival where a wonderful organization called unlearn (www.unlearn.com) had a display.  A synchronistic conversation with a young man, Ahmed, from Lebanon, brought me right back to the topic discussed earlier, this time, from a man's perspective.  Needless to say, Ahmed will also be on the show.   THIS, to me, is what the I Am the Western Woman movement is all about, inclusivity, diversity, open-ness, singularity & LOVE....TUNE IN!!  00:31:00Jocelynbrocknooppression,women,men,dalai lama,peaceAfter show chats are almost as great as during the show chats & often that is where new show ideas come to life.  Today after our 'Living ON Purpose' show, ElaI Am the Western Woman, Fully ON Purpose!!! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jocelynbrock/2012/07/06/i-am-the-western-woman-fully-on-purposeWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/jocelynbrock/2012/07/06/i-am-the-western-woman-fully-on-purpose/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/jocelynbrock/2012/07/06/i-am-the-western-woman-fully-on-purposeFri, 06 Jul 2012 19:00:00 GMTI Am the Western Woman, Fully ON Purpose!!! How many have read or heard this quote before?? 'Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.  The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. BOLDNESS HAS GENIUS, POWER AND MAGIC IN IT. BEGIN IT NOW.~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe~ I Am The Western Woman, Episode #5, Fully ON Purpose is all about this quote.

This is our opportunity to show the men in our lives how to Love us in all ways.  But here's the best part.....this movement is for men too!!!  Let's hear what the men have to say!  00:46:00Jocelynbrocknowomen,dalai lama,western woman,spiritual,menThis is a movement, an era, and it's not about being a feminist or man bashing.  It's about waking up to who we truly are.  A time to step up & see & recognizeOpen Heart, Open You....Body, Mind & Soul....http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jocelynbrock/2012/06/15/open-heart-open-yoniWomenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/jocelynbrock/2012/06/15/open-heart-open-yoni/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/jocelynbrock/2012/06/15/open-heart-open-yoniFri, 15 Jun 2012 19:00:00 GMTOpen Heart, Open You....Body, Mind & Soul....
