Indelible Logos: Recent Episodes
Tiki Durand
If you're familiar with the Indelible Logos blog, you'll know it's about helping people to go after their best life. This podcast is another platform to do just that. Join us each week for special guest panelists who will be sure to help make a lasting impression on your day,
In 2023 you’re going to have to learn how to rise above the situations and circumstances that come at you this year. Maybe instead of seeing them as obstacles, begin to view them as opportunities drawing out your skill sets to be further developed.
What if you were told there was a guaranteed way to make 2023 the best year you've ever experienced, would anything stop you from being ALL IN?
Many of us are fortunate to have people in our lives who have been/are staples in shaping and molding us into the people we are today. This month in March we are celebrating women and this podcast is dedicated to a woman who exemplified both. Her name may not be as infamous as Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt or any of the other women who are written and spoken about this month, but my grandmother Ruth Elaine Bey Jessamy London could have held her own alongside of them.
I dedicate today's episode to her as March 17th marks the 35th anniversary of her passing. Although she may have left my sight, I'll never let her leave my heart,
Addiction is defined as an inability to stop using a substance or engaging in a behavior even though it's causing psychological or physical harm. This episode takes an up close and personal look at C Thomas Carson's walk through the shadows of death in which he fought a life of addictions for a period of twenty five years.
While this episode gives an overall image of what his experience was like, his book the same title as this episode, takes that image and turns it into a full blown life size photo. C Thomas writes almost poetically as he brings you alongside of the journey. I highly recommend ordering a copy (no longer available in print) from C Thomas directly. $crossriver is his cash app.
There is hope for anyone who is ready to put in the work to be freed of their addiction, no matter what the addiction may be. There Is Hope!
The first Indelible Logos episode of 2022 invites you to spend a few minutes with the hubbster (AKA Francis) and I on our 25 wedding Anniversary.
It’s hard to believe so many years have passed and though we’ve had our mountaintop highs, we’ve also experienced a few deep diving lows, only to find out that we both have chosen to still say yes to the vows we spoke in a private ceremony at 5 pm on a Friday night back on January 17, 1997.
True confession moment… Francis is everything I never knew I always wanted. See God often times will give you what you need because it’ll be far better than what you want. Romans 8:28 says He Works All Things Together For Good.
Perhaps Francis and I are only just at the start of what God has had in mind for our marriage all along.
Have you ever hoped for a thing and it winded up turning out better than what you imagined? That’s what this episode entitled “The Gift of Reclaiming Hearts” exemplifies, well at least for me.
I had the honor of meeting and having a one on one conversation with Denise Jones, author of one of my new favorite Audible titles, “Secrets Over Sweet Tea” and founder of Reclaiming Hearts ministries.
You are invited to listen in our time together and take any of the many nuggets of wisdom shared. I promise this episode is full of all the ways and meanings in which Christmastime pulls at your heart strings.
Didn’t get enough of Denise? I know the feeling! You can find her on any of these platforms:

After a two week hiatus, Indelible Logos is back with what hopefully is an episode of hope through transparency. For a lot of people the month of December, which is often referred to as the Most Wonderful Time of Year, feels like anything else but that. I know this first hand because that's pretty much how I felt.
What can you do when you find yourself in this place? Tune in to this episode and lets work it out together. It's important to not get stuck in this moment of hurt, sorrow or anxiety. Let's help each other. Ready, Set, Go....
I thoroughly enjoy the holidays which occur between November and January. What a great way to wind down from the year and prepare ourselves for the new one. If you're like me, I find ways to make the most out of this time. I decorate, watch movies, plan grown up playdates and of course read/listen to heartwarming stories.
Well this year I wasn't able to find any new stories for Thanksgiving, there just aren't as many as there are for Christmas and even New Years! So in the absence of material, I decided to create one. You know what they say, "necessity is the mother of invention". Hence The Gathering.
Meet Adeline, matriarch of the Atwood family who is not able to stay out of her family's business, even from beyond the grave. Watching from her HC (Heavenly Communicator) device she is unhappy with how her once close knit family has been strained since her departure from earth. Her family needs her now more than ever and not even an eternal thing like her death is going to stop her from bringing them together again.
Will she be successful or are her arms too short to reach them from Heaven?
Any great recipe begins with the best ingredients. In today's episode we speak with Chanelle Watson, Published Author, Publisher, Writing Coach and a Chef.

Wow, this episode is going to help someone for sure. I've had the darnedest time recording and uploading it for the last two days. It's short but not without powerful content.
Have you ever found yourself at any given moment wondering if you are being or doing all that you're meant to be? Feeling frustrated or anxious even that your very best efforts don't seem to be getting you closer to your goals? Well that's where I was and have been for the last few weeks. I found myself asking myself the question, what's next? Things around me had slowed down and didn't seem to be going anywhere.
In this episode I share about this experience and how I am combating it. Yes it's still occurring but I've gotten better at the deflection. It made me think if I'm going through this, there just may be someone else also dealing with a similar attack. That's usually the case...
If that's you, please don't give up, don't give in because what's next could very well be the manifestation of your dreams becoming reality...
This episode was originally scheduled to be aired several weeks ago but I hesitated because the recording had some hiccups. However I chose to air it as is because it's authentic. The quality of the content and what was shared was not diminished by some of the background noise.
In HEY YOU GUYS, you'll hear three siblings reminiscing about our childhood and a few of the lessons we learned growing up. Some of what we experienced wasn't able to be appreciated until we took a look back as adults. We touch on the importance of being part of a family unit, community or team and why it's necessary to have a strong foundational support system.
We share a few laughs over one of our favorite movies, The Goonies... perhaps you're familiar?
Royal Flush is a book written by Ceaira Jessamy on Webnovel.com. If a novel is like a movie then a webnovel is like a television show with many episodes. This mini episode is an introduction to her book where I share her prologue as my own version of an audible recording. I know I may not have done the book justice in my first attempt to record a reading of a book BUT I encourage you to go to the site and read her story where she brings you through mystery, intrigue, adventure and of course romance.
In episode 6 we speak with Jacqui Potter Wilson who takes us on her journey to becoming a prayer warrior for God. Jacqui touches on the importance of understanding the power of prayer, knowing how, when and what to prayer as well as not being afraid to be the warrior God needs in the fight between light and darkness.
If you would like to learn more on the subject matter you can contact Jacqui at wotwm5@gmail.com or by calling 201-862-1288

A lightening flash episode which tells the WHY behind the meaning or purpose for this podcast. Special shout out to the Humble Minded Show!
Today’s village mentality looks very different today than five, ten, fifteen years ago. However would our youth have a stronger sense of community and identity if more adults would step in and go into their tool boxes and share the gifts, talents and wisdom collected over the years with the younger generation coming up behind? Perhaps it’s not too late to change the narrative of the times we currently live in now, if there are those of us who are willing to give what we received…
Like a blank canvas waiting to be turned into a masterpiece, this world needs your gift, talent and skills to be a living work of art.
