  • Podcast with Pen-to-Press and CK Kochis – What Have I Done To Make A Difference (December 8, 2021)

    "I begin our conversation with reading a quote Bob wrote in his blog post titled: Forgiveness - Field of Dreams Style (read quote below). We spent a few minutes speaking about the power of forgiveness on an individual and global levels. One of the topics regarding forgiveness that he brought up was the horrific event that happened in Columbine years ago. In the early years of Bob's medical practice, he found himself asking, "What have I done to make a difference?" In his personal quest to gain a better understanding, he discovered the five steps to community improvement and shares the information in his blog posts and books. Parenting, as Bob talks about in this episode, is a life long journey of learning. Pour yourself a mug of coffee and enjoy our informational conversation about forgiveness, conscious parenting, and writing books." Forgiveness is essential as we strive to improve ourselves and the lives of our fellow citizens. Lets pay attention to the signs (church, movies, and music to name a few) that can provide the guideposts for us to recognize our current situation and make a positive change. This change (forgiving ourselves first) must occur before we can make a difference. - Dr. Robert Saul

    Defining a meaningful course for ourselves is the great challenge of a lifetime. We learn some guiding principles early on, and hopefully use them to move forward. The lessons learned from childhood into adulthood — under the watchful eye of our parents, siblings, caregivers, teachers, coaches, religious leaders, and even peers — can be invaluable for short- and long-term growth. Yet, there will be missteps along the way.
