Show Notes                         Today I am excited to chat with Lata Hamilton, a 3-time guest on the show, who is in the process of releasing her very first book, Pioneer Your Career Change. I am loving Lata’s view that while your new career change begins as a Business Decision for the employer and is most often a Personal Decision for you.  However, Lata proposes that you understand your career change as a Business Decision as well. As you will discover today, the...

The Next Chapter with Charlie

Show Notes  Today we revisit Wendy Hooper Ross to conclude our show on the subject of Understanding Fear.   Wendy is an expert in residential real estate (as you discovered in Part One last week), but it is also obvious that Wendy is an expert on life, from both the thinking and feeling perspectives.  Last week we started out to talk about fear in life as we considered four areas: home ownership, relationships, careers, and voting in this next presidential election.  We discussed, in depth, the self-fulfilling negative downward spiral that leads to our frustrating...

Show Notes   Today I visit with a recent guest Wendy Hooper Ross. Wendy is an expert in residential real estate. She devotes much of her time to understanding the current and future states of the real estate market in the United States. Her insights are brilliant. Now, while in our conversations about real estate, Wendy and I happened to land on the subject of the role of fear and control in the hearts of Americans. As we chatted, I realized this is a topic we need to discuss on The Next Chapter with Charlie because it impacts everyone’s life in one way or another.  So,...

The Next Chapter with Charlie

Show Notes   One thing I find about my life today… I live in a world of distractions. I may have plans for the day, but other stuff just seems to come up. First there are the external distractions of emails, phone calls, unexpected appointments and less than important interruptions. But even more disrupting are the Internal Distractions of fear and anxiety and feelings of overwhelm—all resulting in a lack of confidence. It’s surprising we get anything done in any given day.  Our special guest today, hypnotherapist Craig Meriwether, not only understands these issues, but he...

The Next Chapter with Charlie

Show Notes  As you might guess, I live in an interior world of creativity and imagination. That’s why I love to ponder. Yes, I spend a good portion of my day thinking about what is and, more importantly, what might be.  Every now and again, I come across an idea that I am not sure what to do with. That’s when I make a phone call to my “go-to” thinkers who also love to ponder challenging topics. Of course I almost always put in a call to my friend Terry Hershey.  And then when it comes to deep-thinking my “go-to” will always be the ever-so brilliant Lindsay Davis....

The Next Chapter with Charlie

Show Notes  Today, with special guest Dave Buck, we will chat about the details of retirement... mostly details not having to do with finances.  In his new book, The Time Optimized Life, our guest David Buck writes…  “Retirement usually represents a significant change in lifestyle. Most traditional planning leading up to retirement centers on having the necessary financial resources to last the remainder of a person’s lifespan. However, much less focus is placed on how one lives and the time when they choose to spend these resources. “The transition to this new life can...

Show Notes  Hi Paul. My guest today, author and Zen Master, Nora D’Ecclesis joins us to discuss her latest fiction, The Contessa’s Legacy. Beginning in Pompeii, 79 AD, Nora guides us through 2000 years of a history of resilience, perseverance, and commitment—all for the sake of what she calls, “Generational Legacy.”  The story moved me, but not as much as the ideology—so much for those of us that live in our heads and hearts. What is required for a passionate mother to leave with her family the very best of family tradition as they are forced to deal with the distractions...

Show Notes  

Today we are with our friend Terry Hershey and I would like to talk about his most recent Sabbath Moment post titled, See With Our Heart. Only I want to expand the topic to include how a Soft Heart can open a Window to Your Soul. 

Throughout my life I have discovered, every now and again, moments that I call “Windows to My Soul.” Typically these moments occur for me when my heart is softened or even broken. Weddings are often joyful moments that soften my heart and allow me a moment to see past my conscious self and grant me entrance through those thin places that separate our conscious and unconscious selves (or into our soul). 

However, I have also found windows to my soul most often occur in the tragic moments of my life: generally in times of some kind of grievous loss.

Let’s see what Terry has to say.
