The Next Chapter with Charlie

Show Notes    On today’s show my very special guest, Caitlyn Cogan Doemner, and I discuss some ideas that have floating around in my mind for a bit. Ideas about a core philosophy of love, kind of in line with the words of Jesus about loving your neighbor… ... only I want to be rather specific when my neighbor is the one struggling at the bottom level of Maslow’s hierarchy—those with access to water, food, shelter, warmth, and clothing. Those I refer to as the poor and disenfranchised.  Here’s how I began my latest blog written the day after the election...

The Next Chapter with Charlie

Show Notes  Well, we’re finally back with our dear friend Terry Hershey. The topic we will chat about today is the role of the ordinary—the everyday—in the lexicon of spirituality.  For most of us, the idea of the Divine is often thought of a special, unique, and oft times spectacular occurrences. When the truth is God is most frequently found in ordinary occasions of work and play and familiar relationships. The word “epiphany” comes to mind which we understand “seeing God” in the miraculous or the special. But the dictionary definition simply means a...

Show Notes          Our guest today, Dennis J. Henson, is a successful real estate investor, teacher, and author with over fifty years of experience. ​His mentoring program has greatly contributed to the success of many of his followers. Dennis has a new book, Real Impact, Daily Inspiration, and I am very impressed with his structure and important ideas.  Once, during an interview, Dennis was asked, “if you had to name the one thing that’s had the greatest impact on your students, what would it be?” He thought for just a second and responded with,...

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...

The Next Chapter with Charlie

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,...

#335 Craig Meriwether: Take Back Control of Your Life show art #335 Craig Meriwether: Take Back Control of Your Life

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...

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 

Our show today is about endings and beginnings AND the of the unspoken time in between the two. Life is one long journey of beginnings and endings. Projects, careers, marriages, and life itself all have an end.

Beginnings are typically both challenging and inspiring. My personality type is driven to begin new ventures, loves change, and new opportunities. But I must always keep in mind that with beginnings must also come endings. But, with an end is also a new beginning… even with death.

Unfortunately, we all too frequently harbor some kind of negative emotion around things coming to an end, especially an abrupt or unwanted end. However, that certainly doesn’t have to be the case.

T.S. Elliot writes in his poem East Coker from Four Quartets, “To make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”

In this show I’d like to share a new insight that occurred to me more than one year ago. That insight has to do with the crucial time between ending one station in life and wisely proceeding to the next. It was from this experience that I learned the “value of the tomb,” the resting place between a figurative death and resurrection.

 

Today’s show will be just Producer Paul and me talking about, “Lessons from the Tomb.”
