Virtual Campfire #35: Living Gratefully with Kristi Nelson & Joshua Swain

New Year, New Intentions, More Healing Stories and Community.

We’re excited to ring in the new year with you! Despite all the chaos of 2020, there is always something to be grateful for, like the fact that we survived it and we’re here to share about it.

This week we'll be talking about how to live gratefully, the health benefits of gratitude, and specifically, how folks living with diabetes can be grateful for the diagnosis.

THIS WEEK'S GUESTS Kristi Nelson is the Executive Director at the Network for Grateful Living and the author of "Wake Up Grateful: The Transformative Practice of Taking Nothing for Granted." She was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer when she was 33 years old. In the 27 years since, she has lived into all that is possible when we take nothing for granted.

Joshua Swain is the lead singer for The Movement - one of my favorite bands. In fact, their most recent album, Ways of the World, was playing on repeat for the entire time I wrote my book.

The Movement has been winning the hearts and minds of alternative-reggae fans since their inception in Columbia, SC in 2003. Drawing inspiration from Sublime, 311, Slightly Stoopid and John Brown’s Body, they’ve made a name for themselves as reggae shapeshifters with a foundation of heavy drum and bass. Today the band consists of founding member, lead vocalist and guitarist Joshua Swain, bassist Jason Schmidt, drummer Gary Jackson, and keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Matt Goodwin. Their sixth studio album, Ways Of The World, dropped on June 7, 2019, debuting at #1 in the Billboard Reggae Chart, and has remained in the Billboard Reggae Top 10 for more than 40 consecutive weeks.

The Movement's new single "Mountain" feat. Clinton Fearon (Sep 4, 2020) is an upbeat and reflective reggae tune of hope and perseverance.... "We only need to climb this mountain and we will be free."
