Finding My Quiet PlaceAuthor: Jim Hobart
The world seems to be getting louder. Not just louder in sound, but louder visually and mentally as well. Distractions abound. Its almost impossible to carry on a conversation, concentrate on a single thought, or focus on an assignment or project for more than a few minutes without something or someone interrupting. The buzz or chime of an incoming text message, an alert of someone commenting on an Instagram post, or the ding of an email that requires immediate action. Quiet time seems to be a distant memory. This podcast is my attempt to document where and how people find focus, quiet their minds, and avoid distractions.

Episode 17 - Cristina Romagnoli
Episode 4
Saturday, 12 December, 2020
After a 2-hour, 100-mile, early morning motorcycle ride, I sat with Cristina Romagnoli at a pavilion by Lake Apopka and talk with her about how she quiets her mind, and finds mental stillness. Cristina works in the health care industry as a physical therapist for cancer patients, this year has been particularly difficult and challenging. She was transferred from the work she loves, to working exhausting 12-hour shifts in the Acute Respiratory Unit, working with Covid-19 patients. One of the ways she finds mental focus is by getting on her 1984 Honda Nighthawk motorcycle (named “Frank”), and going for a long solitary ride in the countryside… “moving meditation” is what she calls it. Photos taken with a 1950s Rolleiflex twin-lens camera on Kodak Tri-X b/w film. Podcast drops on Saturday morning at 6 a.m. Hope you'll join us. Available wherever you get your podcasts, or at www.FindingMyQuietPlace.com Recorded on October 18, 2020 Mentioned in this episode, an app for iPhone called Calimoto. Finds the most twisty roads between two points, or creates a round-trip route from scratch. Five stars!
