Living in Gratitude Daily Nov 21, 2017

Show notes

Last year, co-host Jean Day contributed to the book, Live in Gratitude Daily. Denise Thompson had the vision that turned the book idea a reality.

According to Denise it starts with appreciating what one has. Too many times, our thoughts turn to what we don’t have and what we don’t want, but those thoughts guarantee things will stay the same. Real change, according to Denise and Jean, begins when you begin appreciating what you do have. This creates and makes room for more.

According to Irene Weinberg, love is more than a feeling, it is an action. It is also a power that can transcend death.

Irene Weinberg has an amazing story that I am sure you’ll want to hear, … so listen!

It Starts with You! Oct 24, 2017

Show notes

What is the story you are telling yourself about yourself? When you think back over your life, are you the victim or the victor, the star or a bit player, the heroine or the villain? How you view yourself makes all of the difference. So it stands to reason that if you change your story, you can change your situation.

As the author of The Ever-Loving Essence of You, Jamie Lerner knows a thing or two about changing your story. And, it starts and begins with you. No blaming, no regret, just you.

Your Story, Your LIfe Oct 18, 2017

Show notes

You know what they say happens when you assume don’t you? You make an a** out of you and me. But according to guest and life coach Paula Shoup and, we’ll, life in general, you make a bigger a** out of yourself. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

According to Paula, by addressing the assumptions you’ve taken for granted and questioning the beliefs you’ve held, you can begin to change your perspective and see things differently. Once you have managed to do that you can rewrite the story you tell yourself.

We talk about the power of the story and how a desire to have an explanation can drive us to create stories that aren’t even true. We also discuss assumptions and beliefs. What is the difference and how they affect our stories and shape our experiences.

Surviving and Thriving Oct 03, 2017

Show notes

October means Halloween for most. And of course, Halloween is all about things that scare us and go bump in the night. Yet, the tenth month of the year is also about breast cancer awareness – something that affects one in every eight U.S. women.

Christine Handy was diagnosed several years ago with Stage 2 breast cancer. Following an aggressive course of chemotherapy and a mastectomy, she beat the disease. She not only survived it, she thrived thanks to the unwavering support of several good girlfriends.

She provides a fictional account of her story in her book Walk Besides Me. Christine, Jean and I had a great discussion regarding confronting a devastating disease head-on and the power of friendship.

Do You, Boo Sep 26, 2017

Show notes

I am recovering from my birthday vacation week. Jean is also enjoying some time off, so while we ease back into our routine, I’m pulling an oldie but goodie from the Fun. Feisty. Fabulous! vault. We’ll be back next week with a fresh Fun. Feisty. Fabulous! episode.

The theme for tonight’s episode is Do You, Boo! or Do You! if you aren’t a fan of that particular term of endearment. Basically, as we get older, we often become surer of ourselves, what we want, what we’ll tolerate and what we need to fully express ourselves. Yet, we often doubt ourselves, and even up letting other people influence and cajole us into their way – leading to frustration and discouragement.

To do you, you don’t have to get upset, defend yourself or second-guess your choices. You just have to find what works for you and do it. Let judgements go and embrace your choices and the choices of others (even if they aren’t yours) with tact and class.

Whether it is your choice of a mate, career direction or just everyday personal choices, you don’t need anyone’s permission to live your life your way.
