Episode Description
The Holidays! It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, said Dickens and I am sure he meant my family. My magical child running around in my head filling every thought with magical outcomes, tires squeal, reality check please. Some family bring out our best and some our worst. When the entire family is together we go back to what we know, the same games, same arguments, same names. We all fall back into the same roles we have always played out .Have you ever gone to your family for the holidays, leaving home you are say 30 years of age, driving to the old neighbourhood, now your old street, you feel 16, when pulling into the driveway, you are 12. Home at last, age 10, sitting on the sofa. What is happening? Join us for this episode as we look at ways to stay in our biological age and interact as adults. Boundaries Please. What a novel idea!
Things Worth Considering
Thursday at 5 PM Pacific Time/8 PM Eastern Time on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
This is a show about connections. Connections to your self, your spirit, your feelings and your story. One of the most powerful healing tools we have is our connections. Connect to your intuition and explore your AHA moments. Discover how we get in our own way and how we can overcome obstacles to move on. How we think, what we think, what we believe, and our attitudes define how we experience our life. The fascinating idea that we shape our reality to what we believe it should be, in our minds. How we connect to our families, our aging family members and slowly we become caregivers, not caretakers.
Embracing the reality of aging, not into senior citizens but living the archetypal Elder, the Wise One. Living the Spiritual idea of being of service but not being someone’s servant. As we explore the many roads of the human journey with our guests, we will connect to each other by embracing many of the mysteries of life and there we arrive at things worth considering.
