What Are You Doing to Get Through This?... Your Answers, & Something Unexpected About a Play About Eisenhower!
Loving Later Life
What are you doing to get through this? There are studies that show being creative is a way to get through difficult times. Ironically however, in preparing for this episode, I wasn’t feeling very creative…a bit of a catch 22 situation. So, I decided to ask Loving Later Life listeners what they are doing to deal, to cope, and to still enjoy life while there is so much chaos, divisiveness and fear around us. For those who contributed, thank you so much for sharing! In an effort to feel some love and happiness, I spent time this past weekend with some very important ladies in my life and...

Loving Later Life

Some Life Lessons from an Unexpected Source & An Announcement
Loving Later Life
I had planned to share one of my conversations with a special guest for this episode, but as I realized I didn’t have all I needed from them to put it all together, my eyes landed on a book that I bought in 2018 on a trip to Kauai with my kids. I heard it calling me to look at it again as it stood upright on my side table where it has been for seven years. It was in that moment I knew it had to be the inspiration and source for this episode. The book is called, and I share many of its special, simple, yet profound lessons along with my off the cuff commentary and a few personal...

IT’S TIME TO UNlearn YOUR LESSON(S)
Loving Later Life
When thinking about what to talk about for this episode, it was a long thought train that came to a screeching halt when I heard someone say, “When will they learn their lesson!” I’m sure most of you will remember hearing something along the lines of, “You’re going to learn your lesson!” But I’m not headed down the track you think I am. I’m veering off and taking a track in the other direction to say, "When are we going to UN learn our lessons?! Please tune in and join me as I share the first 3 lessons that came to mind, in no particular order, which I believe are outdated...

A Fall Inspired New Kind of Bucket List Not for the Faint of Ears
Loving Later Life
This week I am diverting again from regularly scheduled programming. Instead of sharing another inspiring conversation with one of my special guests (in two weeks it’s another a super great one!), a thought came to me as it often does, when I least expect it and in the most unexpected places, which would be TMI! Anyhow, it is one that has to be done now at this time, and I’m in charge so I’m going to do it! And that’s all I’m going to say about it, because it’s short and to the point, and if I were to write more here, you could have already listened to the episode! ...
