What Are You Doing to Get Through This?…
Your Answers, & Something Unexpected About a Play About Eisenhower!

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 also saw my mom. She and I went to a play that unexpectedly became an integral part of this episode providing much inspiration, which I’m excited to share with you.

I hope you’ll listen, enjoy and share if you think of someone who needs to hear it.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

New Year, New Way to Focus on Getting What You Want

Happy New Year!!

So, here we are at the beginning of January. You might be feeling excited if you are happy to say goodbye to 2025. It might feel daunting, whether for personal reasons, or more widespread concerns for all that is happening in our country and our world.

Before the holidays began, I read an article by Maria Shriver that included an exercise which resonated with me, and I thought it might for you, my Loving Later Life family. I found it to be a very helpful, different and fun way to get more in touch with what you want in the new year.

My mom and I also collaborated on a creative project together which I’m excited to share with you at the end of this episode, so be sure to listen until the end!

Happy New Year to you all, and let’s get this new year started together!

 

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

Some Life Lessons From an Unexpected Source & An…

Some Life Lessons From an Unexpected Source & An Announcement

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, Lessons of a Turtle: (The Little Book of Life) and I share many of its special, simple, yet profound lessons along with my off the cuff commentary and a few personal anecdotes.

I also have an announcement to share so please listen, enjoy, and share with someone you know would like to hear it!

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

IT’S TIME TO UN- Learn YOUR LESSON(S)

 
IT’S TIME TO UN-Learn YOUR LESSON(S)

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 and worthy of being unlearned!

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

A Fall Inspired New Kind of Bucket List Not…

A Fall Inspired New Kind of Bucket List
Not for the Faint of Ears

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!

See you there?!

Episode 111 and it’s Special Meaning for Loving Later…

Episode 111 and it’s Special Meaning for Loving Later Life

For this episode I am breaking with my normally scheduled programming because this is episode 111. The number 111 has a special meaning to me, and come to find out in recent years, not just to me!

Please join me in this episode as I discuss the meaning of the number 111 and how it carries profound significance for me personally and for all of us universally.

Spiritually it carries a powerful lesson, encouraging us to embrace the power of your thoughts and beliefs. It is often associated with unity, new beginnings, and the interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit. It serves as a messenger for a transformative journey of self-discovery, inviting you to embark on a new path of confidence, motivation, and independence. And much more.

Even if this seems a bit wooey to some of you, listen anyway! You never know what you may hear that will change the way you look at things.

See you there!

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

To Try or Not to Try, That is the…

To Try or Not to Try:
That is the Question

The inspiration for this episode came from writing my bi-weekly email to my list of those of you who have signed up to receive it.
I was thinking about how many of us have yearnings and desires that have been put on pause, pushed aside or forgotten…or abilities, talents and skills that have yet to be discovered.


What are we waiting for? Time is going to keep tick-tocking no matter what, so what exactly are we afraid of happening? Who cares if we try something and we don’t like it or discover we’re not good at it? Time is going to pass regardless, so why does the outcome matter so much?


I also share something I’m going to be doing (to practice what I preach), so I hope you’ll join me…in more ways than one!

If you’re looking for a sign, this is it.

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!
