  <title>#38 Sumi Dishes on Buddha, Jesus, Peace and Having a Good Life</title>
  <description>Your Creative Sparks:  Sumi says we should accept what life gives us. Except she wants Korean food. It’s hard to accept American food. Is there a problem praying to Buddha AND Jesus? Sumi says, no problem! Sumi says one lie never stays one lie. It always grows.  After driving solo across the country, traveling around the world, going on pilgrimage in Mongolia and Canyon de Chelly, Lobsterbird returns to her childhood home in southern NJ. She’s been on a hero’s journey. She has witnessed and experienced a lot of darkness. Her illusions of reality have been completely shattered. “Who do I trust? What is it that I believe in?” She felt at a loss, so she prayed. And the answer to her prayer was standing in the kitchen. The inimitable Sumi, who Sophia simply calls, Mom.&amp;amp;nbsp;Leave us a Rating &amp;amp;amp; Review! Your Travelogue  Sumi says: Life is like a roller coaster. Nothing goes smoothly. It goes up, down, up, down. That’s the rule. Can you make your life better? If you can make yourself better, yes. [5:40] A focal point of Sophia’s pilgrimage in Mongolia was ancestral healing. Sumi says: Her heart still aches over what happened to her mother. [13:11] Sumi goes to temple and prays to Buddha. Sumi goes to church and prays to Jesus. Sumi says: What you believe is your choice. [21:50] How can you know for sure whether something is good? Sumi says: Pay attention to what is trying to help you vs what is trying to control you. [30:22] A 3-Dog Story... Sumi says: Every chance we get, we get better. You have to teach yourself good things and bad things to give yourself more and more growth. You can undo the bad that way. [33:30] Sumi sings to the animals to help heal them. Sumi says: I guess it’s a prayer. [40:40] PRACTICUM! Pretend we are at temple. Close your eyes. Visualize. Sing the song. Eat some Korean food and take a nap. :) [44:54]  Links and resources:  Lobsterbird’s new book: Level Up: Power Practices for Spiritual Superabundance by Sophia Remolde Previous episodes featuring the inimitable Sumi:Episode #4  Sumi in South JerseyEpisode #5  Sumi Shares Bonus Food for Thought  Music for this episode was contributed by Daniel Munkus and recorded in the Hudson River Valley at Subtle Soup Studios.
