Episode 18
Seeing More Clearly When Your Eyes Become Dim, Disoriented, and Despairing
Many of us long to escape our difficult lives and the contexts we live in. We wish we could see things with the joy and child like wonder we used to have. Marcel Proust once said, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Travis and Jess discuss the things that cloud our eyesight and what it means to have new and "shiny eyes." Travis talks about the vision behind writing his book, Shiny Eyes: Seeing Better Through the Lenses of Joy, Tears, Beauty, and Hope. Towards the end of the episode, they read a section of the book together.
The two also share about some of the things they are currently up to. They talk about their monthly soul care newsletter. SIGN UP HERE. And they share about their new rest and retreat getaway--Shiny Eyes Retreat-- available to rent near the Great Smokies in East Tennessee. FIND OUT MORE HERE:
