Is Manipulation Always a Negative?

Is Manipulation Always a Negative?

This episode is about part of a conversation I had with a friend and wanted to share with you. It’s not meant to educate or move you profoundly, but merely to ask a question that I found interesting to ponder because the answer was more obvious to me than my friend. And if this was the case for me, I thought perhaps it could be fodder for thought for some of you.

Is Manipulation Always a Negative?

Are You Living Your Life Wide?

Are You Living Your Life Wide?

Are you making choices and living your life based on what you think would be considered the ‘right’ thing to do by others? Or to get support from others?

Are you staying open to the possibilities of life, or the “realities???”

Are you willing to take chances against the ‘norm’ in order to live a life that will bring you love, fulfillment, happiness, joy and laughter?

Is the path you are on, getting narrower as a result of your choices and your mindset? Guess what? It’s never too late to live wide.

Listen to this episode and hear more about what it means to live wide and how that can affect the quality of the rest of your life!

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

ARE ASSUMPTIONS ENDING OUR RELATIONSHIPS?

ARE ASSUMPTIONS ENDING OUR RELATIONSHIPS?

Relationships of all kinds are ending. We’re tired, angry, and scared.

A long time ago I wrote an article reflecting on the importance of how we see things, which affects how we respond, which ultimately affects what our lives will look like and who is or is not a part of our lives. The article was inspired by a melted piece of gum on the sidewalk that looked to me like a musical note.

Well last weekend I was taking a walk and looked down and saw a small black circle next to a small hole and below that was a curved branch in the shape of a wide U. What I saw in total was a smiley face staring back at me. (See above!)

Seeing that smiley face reminded me of the concept of my previous article which led me to current events, both personal and universal which I felt compelled to talk about.

If you have ended relationships recently, want to, or you were the one who was left on the editing room floor…please join me.

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

Frances W. Greenspan: Animal Communicator, Author & Teacher

Frances W. Greenspan
Animal Communicator, Author & Teacher

Today is a first! My special guest is Frances W Greenspan and she is an animal communicator, author and teacher who speaks with animals both alive and to those who have crossed over.

She is the author of five books on the topic “What Do Your Pets Want You to Know?”, “More Messages Your Pets Want You to Know” , “Lessons from the Animals”, “Learn to Speak with the Animals” (a class she also teaches with the same name) and “Voice for the Animals” – all available on Amazon and Kindle. She is currently working on her next book “Voice for the Animals”.

Frances tunes in telepathically to the animal’s spirit/higher self to ask questions and receive their answers. She is able to do phone readings as this connection is direct to the spirit of the animal for pets that are rescues, have behavioral issues or have passed on.

Frances shares specific stories with us, how the language of the pet owner doesn’t matter, and much more. And she is doing this while loving later life!

Just click play to learn and be entertained!

What Are You Doing to Get Through This?…Your Answers,…

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…

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!

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!
