Vol. 22 “Living Well With Others”- Townhouse D-8

logo-blue-bg

“We’re losing social skills, the human interaction skills, how to read a person’s mood, to read their body language, how to be patient until the moment is right to make or press a point.  Too much exclusive use of electronic information dehumanizes what is a very, very important part of community life and living together”-Vincent Nichols

While the townhouse Russ, Cosmo, Steve, Dave and I lived in, our senior year of college at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown August 1992-April 1993, was brick and mortar, inside the 5 of us filled it with life, learning, and lots of laughter.  In that brief nine months, in those close quarters, we found the gifts that are ours, anytime and anywhere, when we live well with others.

Meet Russ- Listen To Vol 17 “It’ll Be There Tomorrow”- Russel Todd

Vol. 21 “God Bless Teachers”- Catherine Ruvalo Ph.D & Suzanne Phillips Ph.D

Teachers Main Pic Dr R Dr P

This week meet two of the fine Professors from the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown Psychology Department back in the early 90s.

While Dr. Ruvalo & Dr. Phillips were instrumental in and there to witness my breakthrough for an appreciation of learning, there were many many hands over the years leading up, moving me forward, enabling me to get there.  This was no easy task as I was not an easy student but hundreds of teachers were there for me anyway.

Thanks to teachers everywhere, who show up everyday, even when it’s not easy.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

My wife Courtney is back from last week’s message “Unconventional…Unconditional” that you can listen to here: Unconventional…Unconditional

This week my wife Courtney gives us the gift that Faith is never a function of the eyes and the ears, only of the heart. If Faith is present the unseen is seen clearly and the unheard becomes music to our ears.

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

This week meet my wife Courtney in the first of a two part message.

Despite very different views of the world early on, we found ourselves together.  Despite being polar opposites, Courtney always creates a huge space for me to be me and room to grow.  In that space Courtney gives a wonderful life to live. 

Thanks for listening!  Happy days…

Vol. 17 “It’ll Be There Tomorrow”-Russel Todd

     Pic 1

This week meet my college roommate Russ Todd one of the kindest, happiest, caring people I know.
Russ gave me the gift of knowing that first we must know what we are saying “yes” to in order to know what we need to be saying “no” to.
This practice and important gift comes from 4 words Russ said to me years ago, “It’ll be there tomorrow”.

Vol. 16 “Deaf Dancer”-Kelly Nolla

   pic 2

This week meet Gift Giver Kelly Nolla, who was a dancer in a high school musical when I met her, despite Kelly being Deaf.
When we find motivation in ourselves anything and everything is possible, even dancing when you can not hear the music.
This weeks story also reminds us that motivation takes many many forms giving us almost unlimited opportunities for ongoing inspiration.

Vol. 13 “Discovering Talent”-Larry Wineland

High school french teacher, Director of school plays and musicals, Larry Wineland looked at his students, performers and all those involved in the productions with eyes that grew the person.
Seeing people who could grow to the situation rather than the situation grow to the people allowed his productions and his people to be outstanding.
There are times for natural talent, there are times for raw talent. Mr. Wineland gives the gift of knowing when the latter is called for.
