THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW

DO YOU FEEL SAFE?

THE WORLD IS CHANGING. It seems like there are more instances of crime, robberies, home invasions, and more. Nancy and Janet remember their childhood, when they roamed, unchaperoned and without cellphones, in forests and around lakes. They lived charmed lives, no doubt, but currently, for the first time, fear is on the rise.

STORIES WE REMEMBER

STORIES WE REMEMBER--and some we DON'T WANT to remember. Have you ever watched a program or read a book or seen a movie and thought, "what if this had been ME?" Sometimes the story will come at just the right time, and it alters your actions. Sometimes the story, the song, perfectly expresses an event in your life and will always incite the memory. You probably have a memory like this...

SHOULD'NT! CAN'T! DON'T!

THERE AE SO MANY THINGS! Tank tops. Hi heels. Short shorts. Climbing ladders. Shoveling in the garden. Kneeling on the bare floor. ETC. ETC. ETC. As we have aged we have had to change our wardrobe, our jewelry, our household chores, and the way we vacation. While much has been lost, Nancy finds a long list of things she CAN STILL DO!

THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW

NOT TO GET POLITICAL, but the social atmosphere has chilled with the result that divisions seem greater, values seem oppositional, and people are tiptoeing around a lot more. In spite of all this Nancy strives to find a way to connect--and she makes it work!

THE MEANING OF LIFE

NANCY HAS GIVEN THIS A LOT OF THOUGHT. Janet, not so much. Nancy explains how she changed over the years until her values and her expression of her values synced to reveal her life's meaning. She encourages listeners to evaluate their own beliefs, values, and actions. D E E P.
