Three Letter Lesson #1: "Eye" Dec 11, 2021

Show notes

The Eyre's are in New York City today, and start the show with some of the reasons they love the city and their long history there. Then Richard and Linda start a new mini-series for Eyre's on the Road called Three Letter Lessons--short words that symbolize a principle or attitude or behavior we should adopt. "Eye" is about seeing people spiritually rather than physically--looking at people's eyes and using your own eye as a shutter to take an empathy picture.

Gratitude, Grace, and Christmas! Dec 04, 2021

Show notes

On today's show, the Eyre's kick off the expanded Gratitude Challenge for December, suggesting that appreciation and listing things one is grateful for is just level one of Thank-full-ness. Level two is expressing that gratitude deeply and passionately to the GIVER. The challenge is to make our prayers more meaningful and humble by expressing thanks for five new things in prayer each day, and then listing those five things in our gratitude journals.

Our Love Affair With Thanksgiving Nov 13, 2021

A Diet for All Appetites Nov 06, 2021

Show notes

Controlling our appetites is an indispensable part of good parenting and good example-setting for our children. If we can learn to control our appetite for food, it will lead to control of ALL of our other appetites, including our technology appetite. When Dr, Bridell's Rational Diet was serialized in Meridian Magazine and drew comments and commendations from thousands of readers, it was decided to reveal the identity of the mysterious Dr. Bridell who turned out to be none other than Richard Eyre. Richard had used the pen name because he wanted the revolutionary half-diet to stand on its own merits, but after the amazing results reported by users (literally tons of weight lost), it was time for Richard to come out of hiding. On today's show, Richard and Linda explain this unique and logical approach to dieting and appetite control in our lives.

The Year-long Gratitude Challenge Oct 30, 2021

Show notes

In today's episode, the Eyre's read a little from their new book DAILY THANKS (which happens to be on a half-price Thanksgiving sale on Amazon right now) and challenge us all to join them in keeping a gratitude journal for the coming year--starting right now on November 1 as a lead up to Thanksgiving. The November challenge is to list 10 things you are thankful for every day of the month. The emphasis and type of gratitude will shift for December 1.

Spontaneity and Serendipity Oct 23, 2021

Show notes

On today’s show, Richard and Linda explore ways that we can relish rather than resent surprise in our lives and actually cultivate the spontaneity that so many of us lose as we get older and add more structure and routine in our habits. They introduce us to their favorite word, "serendipity," and explain the true origin and meaning of the world and illustrate how it can give us more joy, particularly in our families.

Three Steps and Life Balance Oct 16, 2021

Show notes

For decades, speaking and presenting on subjects of parenting, marriage, and life-balance has been a staple of Richard and Linda's lives. On today's podcast, they share their preparation for a speech they are giving to employees of the SLC International airport where they will focus on two things: Three Steps to a strong family (establishing family rules, family traditions and a family economy) and life balance (how to balance family, work, and personal needs.)

Advice Giving and Sunday Sessions Oct 09, 2021

Show notes

The Eyre's are in St. George Utah for today's episode--Richard is there competing in the World Senior Games, and he and Linda begin the show musing about their tradition of going to the Red Rock country of Southern Utah every October. They then share some of the current events with their own family and discuss "best practices" for giving advice to adult children and holding a "Sunday Session" each week to review goals and priorities.
