#320 Terry Hershey: Storm Homes
Show Notes I’ve been reading… books and essays (or blogs). I recently read two articles that seemed to spawn sort of delightful potpourri of thought and conjecture. One was an article on author Henry Miller by Maria Popova and the other came from recent Terry Hershey Sabbath Moment posts. These are the kinds of ideas that, for me, demand discussion. So today, I’ve asked friend, author, and creative thinker Terry Hershey to ponder with me on several kinds of non-related subjects such as Storm Homes and the totally unrelated subject of the wonder of old age.

Show Notes Hey Paul. Did you know that our guest today, Taryn Voget, is responsible for birthing our podcast, The Next Chapter with Charlie. This show was all Taryn’s idea.

But that’s what Taryn does… she brings the best out of people and very often that best is about something that feels like a surprising attribute. And so today, executive coach, high level consultant and partner-in-thought, Taryn Voget, will surprise us with fresh ideas about life in a whole new era, one of the 60 second, sound-bite mentality that is making us all feel rather insane.

#313 Wendy Hooper Ross: The Housing Struggle and You
Show Notes Living in the Orange County Bubble, many of us are unfamiliar with the personal and economic struggles that many (if not most) Americans face on a daily basis. In my personal bubble I read that the market is great, but gas prices are up, and with those words I seem to feel that I have a grasp on our everyday economic state of affairs. Huh? It seems I have had my feet planted in mid-air. Did you know that very few Americans even have a meaningful investment in stocks. 93% of all stocks are owned by 10% of the population. And 80% of stocks are owned by old people. So, gas prices DO matter, as does the cost of food and medicine and clothing and every single other thing that matters to most Americans. Did you know that some people in the OC are sacrificing medical expenses to pay rent or mortgage? My question is where does that leave our young adults and our older single adults? And that is what I talk about with our special and insightful guest, Wendy Hooper Ross—an unusually successful Real Estate representative who, post covid, experienced a kind of headlines to breadlines story… well maybe not exactly, but still...

Still, there are also significant differences, especially when it comes to “how to live your life.” My guest today, Tom Yankle, is an older millennial (at 40) who has a deep experience-based understanding of how people in the ages of 25-45 think about life.

#305 Steve Garnaas-Holmes: Renewing Our Language About God
Show Notes After a three-month break from doing podcasts, we’re back. I am very much looking forward to our new season. You know, I needed a time of intentional pondering about what I might like to do in my final chapter of what I call “a life richly lived.” This year, in September, I turn 75. Three quarters of a century. Enough time to live a life meaning, adventure, and awe—which has been the theme the of The Next Chapter with Charlie for the past 9 years. After considering the purpose of my web presence, the theme of meaning, adventure, and awe continues… but perhaps with a renewed and personally vibrant focus. In my most recent couple of blogs, I have written about the American vacuum regarding something to trust, something to hang our hats on, or an anchor in our wild seas of politics, news media, and vacuous religion. Yes, at 75, God, the Spirit of Life is not yet finished with me. My present calling is to engage in conversations of ultimate meaning and purpose, mostly having to do with the heart—that force which has driven humankind for millennia. As you know, I am a contemplative follower of the late medieval Christian mystics who spoke in the language of the heart, guiding people to experience everyday life in a spirit wonder and meaning and service. ***** So that leads to our first guest on our newly directed version of the Next Chapter with Charlie. So, it should not be surprising that today’s guest is a poet and a mystic… with eyes not on the ethereal but on the practical, everyday vision of life in the arms of love. Steve Garnaas-Holmes is a gift to all of us. He writes of himself, quite simply and quite humbly… “I’m a retired United Methodist pastor. I often lead retreats on prayer, poetry, and renewing our language about God. I am trying to be… here… now...” which means Steve, in the words of our dear friend Terry Hershey, lives intentionally in “the Sacrament of the Present Moment.” Personally, I am loving his commitment to “renewing our language about God.” As a culture, we are in need of a fresh and relevant language about love and presence.

#303 Charlie Hedges: The Next Chapter’s Next Chapter
Podcast Opening I have an important announcement to make today. This week we are beginning a two-month break on the Podcast and the Blog for the Next Chapter with Charlie. We will be most silent for the next two months, December 2023 thru January 2024. We will begin again the second week of February. The time has come to Reconsider our purpose and our goals. For more than 9 years of blogs and 6 years of podcasts, our primary focus has been on In Search of Meaning, Adventure, and Awe. I am pleased with the work we have done. More than 300 podcasts and over 450 blogs. However, as we approach a full decade of service, I feel that have grown significantly and I have learned even more about what I call “the purpose of life and the role of the fingerprint of God in all we do.” We are living in a culture of confusion. Something is missing in life. And most of us are not even sure what that is. It’s time to talk about it. I intend to devote the next two months to creating a strategy for discussing how to Awaken within Each of Us a More Loving World. So today I have asked my dear friend, Wendy Hooper Ross, to partner with me in discussion as she interviews me regarding my mission in life and with the Next Chapter with Charlie.

#296 Terry Hershey: Managing Fate and Burnout
Show Notes Today, I want to chat with Terry Hershey about a subject that I have been pondering and journaling on for several months. The subject is, how you might Manage Your Fate. NOTE: However, we begin the show with a detailed conversation about Burnout. On to Managing Fate… Think of your life as an ongoing process of becoming. In my mind, two primary factors influence everything that happens in your life. Fate and Choice. Fate represents all that you cannot control in life. (Or think you cannot control). And… Choice manages the impacts of that fate and even redirects it. I am advocating that you can maximize who you want to be… right now, tomorrow, and the days after that. If you’re a frequent listener of the show then you’re already familiar with our always special guest, Terry Hershey.

#294 Ann Hince: Unwinding Your Past
Show Notes A common subject these days has to do with the trauma… and how each of us has experienced some kind of trauma in our past and, unfortunately for many, it is still a very present reality. A theme I have been working on for a couple of years now, is that each of us is an amalgamation of who we have been and what we have experienced in our past. And very often, that past continues to slip into our present making, us prey for our demons of our past. What if we could find a way to manage and deal with negative events of our past that we could possibly we could live freer and less burdened lives? Our special guest today, Ann Hince, has successfully developed a process for dealing with past trauma in such a way as to reduce or even dismiss its impact on our lives. She offers some unique insights that we will certainly explore. Just a bit about Ann Hince. When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom. Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface but continued to have severe effects on her emotional well-being. As she was raising her two boys, Ann determined enough was enough. She wanted to be what she calls “a calm mom.” It all began when she realized that she needed to change her ways of thinking, so she developed a 3-pronged approach to “unwinding her past.” Today Ann is a calm mom. I want to find out how she got there. LINKS Visit Ann Hince’s website
