You can’t keep a good podcast down, and we are live for the No Prisoners, No Mercy Show 241 found at Apple Podcasts and on Libsyn.

When this year started I like most other people I had no idea I would be were I am now. I will say this…2020 did it’s best to keep me down. What is more it almost made it. It is easy to give up. And once you do it’s even harder to get back up again. Sometimes it only takes a little push from a friend….

Sometimes it take a global pandemic

Still, during a conversation today I found myself reflecting pack on all of the painful events of the last six months, and I found myself thinking back to William Shatner as Captain Kirk from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier:

 “You know that pain and guilt can’t be taken away with a wave of a magic wand. They’re the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don’t want my pain taken away! I need my pain.” – Captain James T. Kirk

So I said the the person, “I need my pain, it’s part of who I am.” I have come to realize over the years that all of the painful experiences I have been through have made me the person I am today. I think about that as we all go through these times. There is an old adage that says “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger”. In my case I think it makes me better.

So here we are back again.

Of course the No Prisoners, No Mercy Show found on Libsyn at virginworlds19.libsyn.com and on Apple Podcasts never actually went away. We have been producing the podcast regularly since 2008. In fact we have outlast many other podcasts and had fun doing it .

Back on Show 239 our guest was Author Dedra Stevenson. She spent the show about getting through these times with the help of creativity. It was a good show and a good listen. So here we are branching out our creativity.

And as always, we will see you online.
