The May Challenge for Gratitude Journals Apr 30, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Richard and Linda unveil the new "take" on gratitude and challenge us to write one handwritten thank-you note each week and to write one "happy" and one "sad" each day in our gratitude journals. They discuss how the art of graceful and grateful receiving can transform our lives and the lives of others. One metaphor is that no matter how perfect a pass the quarterback throws, it is not complete until the receiver gathers it in.

Three-Letter Lessons (A review and a special guest) Apr 23, 2022

Show notes

The Eyre's are casting today from the Island of Mallorca off the coast of Spain in the Mediterranean. They are there with their son Talmadge, working on their forthcoming book THREE-LETTER LESSONS, which presents 20 "word pegs" to help refine and improve our attitudes and our characters. Most people today work and plan harder on what they are DOING than on who they are BECOMING. The word pegs of the three-letter lessons can change that balance.

Three-Letter Lesson #10: FAM Apr 16, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, the Eyre's continue with their mini-series on short, three letter words or abbreviations that can set our priorities and attitudes for life. The tenth three letter lesson is FAM, or the ultimate priority of our families in the broadest extended sense that includes cousins, uncles, aunts, parents--everyone to whom we are blood related. Learning to love and serve and forgive and mend fences within this "inner" of life is the key to everything.

Grandparenting 101: The Course Apr 09, 2022

Show notes

Today the Eyre's talk about the importance and joy of three generation families where parents and grandparents team up to make life good for kids. Richard and Linda are developing a how-to skills course for Grandparents, and today they reveal the results of a survey of grandparents needs. You can be included in the survey and in the seminars by sending a simple "I'm interested" email to EyresGrandparenting101@gmail.com.

Thankful Journals, Asking Journals Apr 02, 2022

Show notes

On the first episode of each month, Richard and Linda discuss a new twist on making gratitude journals more meaningful and effective. Today's show is dramatic, in that it suggests that we make a shift during April from "thanking" to "asking." Listen in as the Eyre's elaborate on the tremendous power and clarity that can result from the right question at the right time--particularly a question to God.

Three-letter lesson #9: LOW Mar 26, 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!)

Three-Letter Lesson #8: FLO Mar 19, 2022

Show notes

Continuing with their series on "Three-Letter Lessons," the Eyre's talk today about the concept, the attitude, and the paradigm of FLO--of getting into the mental "zone" where things happen naturally and calmly and fall into sync with the realities of the day. Discussing methods like meditation, breathing, and music, Richard and Linda discuss the internal ways of feeling FLO, and then turn to the more spiritual approach of prayer and asking for God's Spirit to bring the FLO.

A Spiritual Approach to Grandparenting Mar 12, 2022

Show notes

If you are a grandparent, listen to this episode. If you are not a grandparent, send the link to someone who is. The discussion is about taking grandparenting to a new, higher level, and becoming the "trunk" that links your roots with your branches. The spiritual part is understanding that our grandkids are actually our brothers and sisters, and that we can get help and inspiration from the real Father.

Does Gratitude Equal Character? Mar 05, 2022

Show notes

As always on their first podcast of the month, Richard and Linda discuss the connections between gratitude and character and propose that "the deliberate effort to see through a gratitude lens makes bad people good and good people better." They quote Cicero who said "Gratitude is the greatest of virtues, in fact, the parent of all other virtues." The Eyre's then present the Gratitude challenge for March which is to thank someone personally each day and record it in our gratitude journals.

Three-Letter Lesson #7: JOY Feb 26, 2022

Show notes

As listeners know by now, three-letter lessons are simple paradigm shifts where one small word or acronym reminds us of a concept or attitude we want to incorporate into daily life. Today's lesson is JOY, and how it differs from happiness, how it can be a choice we make, and what capacities we need to develop to experience more of it. Joy exists, every day, wherever we are and irrespective of our problems or sorrow. It is a question of recognizing it and finding it.
