  • GRATITUDE as an IGNITER OF JOY, LOVE, PEACE, and BEAUTY

    GRATITUDE as an IGNITER OF JOY, LOVE, PEACE, and BEAUTY
    Nov 15 2025
    In this episode, Richard and Linda suggest that becoming deliberately and intentionally more thankful (the opposite of "taking for granted") is more than a path to happiness, it IS happiness in its most obtainable form. They share their own history of gratitude journals and thanks-giving traditions and challenge us (and themselves) to center our Thanksgiving holiday around a lasting gratitude list.

  • How to LIVE THE SECOND HALF OF LIFE EMOTIONALLY

    How to LIVE THE SECOND HALF OF LIFE EMOTIONALLY
    Nov 8 2025
    As November begins, the Eyres introduce the month's theme of a higher way to live emotionally with a question: How can we FEEL MORE of four things: Joy, Love, Peace, and Beauty? Are there things we can do, ways we can think, and attitudes we can cultivate that increase and deepen these four emotions? They suggest that we each search for methods to do so during this Thanksgiving month.

  • (RERUN 11/02/24) 3-Letter Lessons, ALM and WIN

    (RERUN 11/02/24) 3-Letter Lessons, ALM and WIN
    Nov 1 2025
    Due to Halloween, grandkids, and travel, the Eyres didn't record this week and asked us to pick a favorite re-run...which we did. Richard and Linda will be back live next week with the latest in their How To Live series. "Casting from Las Vegas today, the Eyres finish a discussion they started last episode about the 3-letter lesson ALM referring to the acts of mercy and compassion that Jesus called alms. An act of service or lifting is called an "almdeed" in the New Testament. They then juxtaposition that word with the 3-letter lesson WIN which is a blessing when we make it a win-win, and a curse when we make it a win-lose."

  • "SYNERGICITY" as the ALTERNATIVE MINDSET to INDEPENDENCE

    "SYNERGICITY" as the ALTERNATIVE MINDSET to INDEPENDENCE
    Oct 25 2025
    Today the Eyres suggest that "Independence" is a mindset for the first half of life which proves, in the second half and in the spiritual and emotional and social sense to be a lie. We are dependent on God and interdependent on strangers, as well as on those we love. An alternative mindset called "Synergicity" is suggested and metaphors and examples are given.

  • STEWARDSHIP, THE MINDSET ALTERNATIVE TO OWNERSHIP

    STEWARDSHIP, THE MINDSET ALTERNATIVE TO OWNERSHIP
    Oct 18 2025
    The Eyres are devoting their October podcasts to How to Live the Second Half of life MENTALLY, and this episode contrasts the "Ownership mindset" with the "Stewardship mindset. The former leads to comparing and competing on many levels and promotes win-lose attitudes and grows branches of envy, jealousy, superiority and condescension. The latter is about win-win and sprouts cooperation, empathy, and peace.

  • THE MINDSET OF SERENDIPITY

    THE MINDSET OF SERENDIPITY
    Oct 11 2025
    The Eyres advocate a paradigm-shift in the second half of life that moves away from the desire for control and instead adopts the mindset of Serendipity, defined as being able, through sensitivity, awareness and spiritual guidance, to frequently find something better than that which we were seeking. They tell their serendipity-discovering journey through Sri Lanka and the British Museum and challenge us to join the quest.

    HOW TO LIVE THE SECOND HALF OF LIFE MENTALLY
    Oct 4 2025
    In this episode, the Eyres transition from second-half living PHYSICALLY to second-half living MENTALLY which will be the podcast's focus for October. They point out that the fear of mental decline is greater in most people than physical worries, and frame the focus not only on our minds but on our mind-sets, and on getting away from the first-half notions of control, ownership and independence.
