Episode 11: Grounding in Family Stories

<p>Episode Overview & Show Notes</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of To Be a Mystic, we explore how sacred mysteries are embodied in the everyday—through intuition, conscious awareness, and the people who hold us steady when the wind is cold. Drawing from Howard Thurman’s 1980 Spelman College commencement address and a quiet family memoir written by my great-uncle John H. Blackburn, we reflect on the tender tradition of keeping life alive and the profound power of mundane, everyday choices.</p><p><br></p><p>Credits & Attribution</p><p><br></p><p>Podcast Host & Production: Marcella Ciccotelli (The Grounded Soul)</p><p>Featured Memoir: Corinn’s Story (January 2000), written by Dr. John H.
