Show Notes

Micheal Lewis popularized the idea of blind spots in his bestselling book, The Blind Side. Blind spots can be anthing from a football quarterback not seeing the tackle spot, a hidden view in your rear view mirror or decisions made regardless of things unknown. Typically, we see blind spots as a deficiency, a gap in judgment where mistakes can happen. But what if we saw them as opportunities for nudging us to take chances with the possibility of silver linings?

As we celebrate Thanksgiving and our many blessings, Sipping on Stories host Rose McInerney shares three blind spots in the most painful experiences of her life. Each is connected to the number 13 and every one eventually stirred her soul to happiness and transformation. To all those who have lost someone and something special, remain steadfast in hope, courage and the promise of new life.
