A Special Kind of Gratitude for Family Jul 09, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Richard and Linda talk about their upcoming family reunion, about their new grandparenting class, and focus on gratitude for relationships and on a new technique for setting "relationship goals" for how you want individual family relationships to be five years from now. The Eyre's challenge themselves, and each of us, to write a one paragraph description of those future relationships in our gratitude journals.

Parenting: One Goal, Many Methods Jul 02, 2022

Show notes

The Eyre's are casting today from Blakley Island in the San Juan Islands where they are visiting their son Jonah and his family who are spending the summer running the marina and store on the Island. Richard and Linda point out how all parents throughout the world share the goal of raising Joyful, Responsible, Sensitive Children, we all find our own methods for doing so. Jonah and Aja's example is extreme in some ways, but it will prompt our own ideas.

3-Letter Lesson #13: REL Jun 25, 2022

Show notes

Today the Eyre's continue their 3-letter lesson series. REL abbreviates Relationships, which they contrast with Achievements as the two things we desire and that we spend our time and energy on. Achievements are about what we DO and they make up our "Resume virtues" while Relationships are about who we ARE and who we LOVE, and they make up our "Eulogy Virtues." The Eyre's conclude with the revolutionary concept of setting "Relationship Goals."

Throwback- Three-Letter Lesson #9: LOW Jun 18, 2022

Show notes

On today's show, the Eyre's continue their series on "three-letter lessons"--little word-pegs that represent touchstones or concepts to live by. The word LOW may initially have a negative connotation, but think of it as a representation of humility, of the joyful acknowledgement of our own vulnerability and "nothingness" contrasted with the glory and "everythingness" of God. This replaces self-confidence with faith and leads to calmness and peace (and even to lower blood pressure!)

The Summer Of Grandparenting Jun 11, 2022

Show notes

As always in the second week of the month, the Eyre's focus today on grandparenting and on the teamwork that good families strive to create between parents and grandparents for the benefit of the children. Their 6-month grandparenting course is now open for registration at www.Grandparenting101.com and the challenge is to make this Summer of 2022 the time to become more proactive by developing deeper individual relationships with each grandchild.

Gratitude and Vitality Jun 04, 2022

Show notes

On the first week of every month, Richard and Linda talk about another unique aspect of Gratitude, and today they challenge us to focus on one physical, bodily blessing each day while meditating for three minutes, and then to write, in our gratitude journals, a sentence about that aspect of our health. Gratitude, the Eyre's believe, is a key to vitality, and shifting our focus from something that is not going well in our bodies to something that is--can bring a welcome bit of joy.

UNITY in Families May 28, 2022

Show notes

After a family week in Costa Rica and a few days in LA for Richard's national tennis tournament, the Eyre's are casting today from Phoenix where their granddaughter's high school graduation. They are joined on today's podcast by their daughter Shawni, a prominent mom-blogger (71toes.com) in a discussion of UNITY in politics, in communities, in Church, and in Families. Are we more divided than ever before, and what is the path to more UNITY?

Three-Letter-Lesson #12: NOW May 21, 2022

Show notes

There is no shortage of talk about centering yourself, living in the present, embracing the now, but the Eyre's give it a few new dimensions as they discuss ways to be more aware and in tune even in the midst of the really HARD points and phases of life. Richard and Linda's youngest daughter, Charity, joins them on the podcast today from Costa Rica.

Three-Letter Lesson #11 "ONE" May 14, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode the Richard and Linda reveal more about the book they are writing called "Three Letter Lessons" and how simple little "word-pegs" can influence how we live and how we see the world. The eleventh lesson is "ONE" which is about how we can be united with and tolerant of those we disagree with or are different from. And, the Eyre's contend, "oneness" is a better and more complete goal for marriage than "equality."
