  • WE FINALLY MADE THE COVER OF A NATIONAL MAGAZINE

    WE FINALLY MADE THE COVER OF A NATIONAL MAGAZINE
    2025/07/19
    From the midst of their annual family reunion, and with tongue slightly in cheek, the Eyres talk on this episode about the new issue of GRAND Magazine, the national grandparents publication, that features them on its current cover (grandmagazine.com). They urge grandparents to subscribe for free and think the cover article is worth reading because it "glorifies grandparenting" and because the other how-to articles can be so helpful to extended families.

    What are "THE THREE DECEIVERS" and HOW DO WE OVERCOME THEM in the Second Half of Life?
    2025/07/05
    As July begins, the Eyres open a monthly theme of moving from "First-Half Thinking" to "Second Half Thinking" and introduce the three themes that largely define the first half of our lives: The pursuit of more Control, more Independence, and more Ownership. Most self-help books and how-to books focus on getting more of these three things, and Richard and Linda introduce their belief that, as life progresses, all three of them become "deceivers."

    CHILDHOOD, SENIORHOOD, CARING ABOUT BOTH, and the "SCORE" OF LIFE
    2025/06/07
    In this episode, the Eyres apply the sports or music term "score" to life and to its phases. They make the point that most of us have stewardship both over family members in their childhood and family members in their seniorhood, and that the two are both overwhelmingly important and should both be given highest priority.
