Episode Description
As Canada prepares for another Thanksgiving Day celebration, and good old Covid-19 continues to wreak havoc world-wide, again Public Health is telling us it is best to curtail large family gatherings in our homes, for the second year in a row. Unless we live together in the same residence, of course. While Thanksgiving has always been one of the must attend annual family gatherings, the pandemic has given some people reprieve from the must attend annual dinner and weekend and are discovering alternate ways to observe Thanksgiving. Since it was a must attend for most families, whether we wanted to or not, we showed up and watched ourselves regress into the same family dynamics we were ensconced in at age 15. This episode looks at ways to shift the dramas played out in families at holiday time. We will also, finally shed some light on the age old question, why is Canadian Thanksgiving almost 7 weeks ahead of American Thanksgiving? Tying into Thanksgiving, what does it mean to be grateful. The research tells us that discovering gratitude may just be the biggest mental health gift we can receive. Join us Thursday October 7 at 8 PM Eastern/5 PM Pacific and prepare yourself for Thanksgiving.
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.
