Hey there friends, welcome to volume 7 of the Good Vibes Newsletter. As we wind up summer and begin to move into my favorite season of the year, Autumn, I would like to invite you to share any of your favorite summer stories, articles, songs, etc. I’m excited to share some with you today. Please invite others to join the fun by simply sending this link to subscribe on my website at To Live Inspired.
Now, on to some Good Vibes!
Favorite Summer Movie Experience:
If there’s an event that epitomizes summer for me it’s catching a film on the lawn at Philbrook Museum in Tulsa. The museum’s lawn and garden are the perfect setting for this outdoor movie experience and it’s great for families. Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, pack a picnic (they do offer food on the grounds), and catch a movie at Philbrook (or an outdoor venue in your area). Your admission ticket also allows you to explore the museum and gardens in addition to the movie. It would be the perfect way to cap off the summer. (Note to self: share this sooner next year.)

Really Cool Article:
Years ago, I was part of a men’s ministry group that mowed lawns, did home and auto repair/maintenance for widows, elderly, and those who physically couldn’t take care of their properties all at no charge. It was a really special time for all involved. Here’s a group doing something similar but who are taking it to another level. You’ll love this story.
Quote I’m Pondering Right Now:
“Find a purpose to serve, not a lifestyle to live.”
- Chriss Jami
If there’s a quality that most exemplifies how Jesus lived it’s serving others. There’s a story in John’s Gospel in chapter 13 that says “Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything …” That’s a lot of authority that could be used for lots of different things. What was the first thing Jesus did with incredible authority trusted to him? “So, he got up from the table … then he began to wash the disciples’ feet.” In humility Jesus served. He started with those closest to him and it started a ripple effect that reached the ends of the earth. Let’s follow Jesus’ example of humility and service today. It changes things!
My Top Album on Spotify:
At the end of every year Spotify sends me my “Year in Review” that tells me what my top album was, the top songs I listened to, time spent on the app, etc. This album has been #1 or 2 on my list for the last 7 years (since I’ve been on Spotify). You may be surprised at the genre.

A BIG Thank You!
I’d like to express how thankful I am for each of you. I love not only sharing the articles, stories, and quotes that inspire me but also hearing what inspires each of you. My desire to share was never meant to be just about me, but for us to collaborate together to make a difference in our circles and communities. We can accomplish more together than we can apart.
