Bestselling author, R. Eric Thomas, wrote “Here for It” in 2020 and it continues to reverberate in the hearts and minds of readers because of its timely topics and riveting personal story—making it a perfect “revisit” for our book club community! With humor and vulnerability, Eric shares about his memoir which is equal parts hilarity and heart–and what it took to write about his intersecting identities as a Black, queer, Christian man. Join Jen and Eric as they traverse transforming the ordinary into the profoundly funny and insightful. Book Summary: In his memoir of essays “Here for It,” Eric attempts to define what it means to be an “other” through his experience growing up in two very different worlds — the urban landscape of his parents home in Baltimore and then the wealthy, white suburb where he went to private school. He tries to figure out how to reconcile all of this, not just these two wildly different racial and class spaces, but also his Christian upbringing with his sexuality as a gay man; the exhaustion of code switching; accidentally finding internet fame; covering the 2016 election and all of that aftermath. Ultimately, he is seeking to answer whether the future is worth it when everything seems to be getting worse. He re-envisions what could be by placing himself at the center of his own story and sharing his experiences with us. * * * Guest's Links: R. Eric Thomas's Website - https://rericthomas.com/ R.

Trexel is the BestThis one's going out to anyone who’s ever woken up after a three-day binge full of doubt… shame… Yes… When you're feeling kinda down and low Don't know what to do or where to go Physical and emotional pain Paranoia and self-hatred reign Get your stinking body off the floor Drag that worthless carcass to the door Look in to the empty hall Hard to see the point at all (No) NO! That’s no way to think That a Geistman could ever be defeated by drink The line that you represent and Your many great achievements This genius is once in an aeon Don’t let yourself get gainsaid by peons Superior to all the rest, don't forget Mmmm, Trexel is the best Trexel is the best, ooh, it's unequivocal Trexel is the best, what's that?

EAT SMART, MOVE MORE, STAY SOCIALDuring our recent episode on Mental Health and the Pandemic, we asked for strategies from Robin Henderson who offered a three-fold plan for staying safe and engaged this winter: We have to eat healthily; we have to move our bodies, and we have to interact with each other socially. She says digital wellness is more important than ever during this pandemic. And she suggests now may be the time to join an online support group or a book club or class to learn a new skill.Robin Henderson Psy.D., Chief Executive, Behavioral Health Providence Oregon, Portland, OR LITTLE MOVEMENTS MATTERCatherine Stifter tells us we can be moving more at home (and restoring balance and function) by making subtle changes in how we arrange the items we use daily. Having to reach (or bend) for something you use every day will, over time, preserve your range of motion. Small, consistent efforts pay off over time. Catherine Stifter, Restorative Movement Instructor, Your Movement Project, Nevada City, CACatherine on Instagram GO OUTSIDE ANYWAY AND CONSIDER FOSTERING A PETEleven-year-old Maizie B, who lives in New Mexico, says as long as you're smart about taking the proper COVID-19 precautions, there's no reason not to get outside in the winter for some skiing or sledding with friends. And she encourages us to think about fostering a shelter dog or cat — you'll make a new buddy this winter. CHECK YOUR ANGER, WATCH FOR S.A.D.Abbot Christopher Jamison is a Benedictine monk who says the fractious nature of our political discourse is not going to go away and cautions us to notice when our initial response to situations is anger. That doesn't have to be the end of our response. And, as the daylight hours diminish, Abbot Christopher urges us to remember that Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) naturally occurs in winter and can be anticipated and helped by reaching out to others.Dom Christopher Jamison OSB, Abbot President, The English Benedictine Congregation London, UK.

OR SOMETHING OLD-NEW.Rabbi James Stone Goodman notes we're all feeling "the squeeze" of the current condition with all its abnormalities and he says what works for him is to create something new, or in the Jewish sense, old-new: a serious renewal, such a renewal that you might not even recognize the original any longer. He and his wife, Rabbi Susan Talve, have been unpacking the psalms (old) together in a live-stream (new) each morning with analysis of the text for our time of "squeeze."

We were thinking that this winter might give some of us an opportunity to do some musical exploration and why not focus on jazz, with its full-throated appreciation of the joys and pains of the human experience. Gwen is a terrific guide. Besides writing and reporting about jazz and the men and women who make it, she hosts the radio program Music Inside Out on WWNO in New Orleans.

Does the thought of Thanksgiving make your palms sweat? Does your stomach hurt, BEFORE the meal? Maybe holiday fun translates to holiday dysfunction when it comes to your family gathering? We hear you. So just in time for your yearly gathering of the relatives, from the left, right and center, we offer this survival guide for talking turkey and politics. On this week’s podcast, host Andrea Seabrook takes your stories of politics and holidays past and runs them by journalist Amy Dickinson , who writes the syndicated advice column Ask Amy. Here’s an excerpt of their conversation. Amy: It’s very common starting around September for people to write to me already nervous about Thanksgiving and how are they going to manage these disparate points of view. And its not like “oh how silly”, it’s a real issue. We don't spend enough time together to work things out, so it all happens around the table…I actually have a number of suggestions for families to cope with the dinner. A lot of people say pass the butter and retreat to football games. If who ever is host of the dinner can be a little more intentional they can create a different sort of atmosphere at the table. One way to do this that’s worked really well in my family is with toasting people. You sort of start the meal with toast. Andrea: Besides a toast... another thing Amy says you can do is get everyone to write down their funniest Thanksgiving memory, and then pass the stories around to read aloud... Amy: So you have a kid reading Uncle Harvey’s memory from 1942, you know it’s a lot of fun and it engages people more in a personal way because I think a lot of families if they are political and if they are likely to engage in political arguments the goal should be to just sort of stave that off just maybe over coffee instead of over turkey and stuffing. Andrea: Now what about people who WANT to talk politics around the turkey? Or worse, what if you’re seated next to one of them... That’s what happened to Jeff Pierce when his sister brought her fiance home to meet the family for the first time at Thanksgiving. Jeff Pierce: I had just won a scholarship for writing an essay on the importance of unions. Instead of not bringing it up he ask, “So what do you think of unions?” Because he knew I was the only liberal in my family. He really took advantage of my uncle who is the most conservative person in my family and together they were just jumping on me and I was just sitting there trying not to get incredibly angry. Andrea: So he’s trapped. What do you say to him? Amy: Okay, now everyone needs to focus- this is really important. This is when you get to use children as human shields. Andrea: I've been waiting for some way that was okay. Amy: I know they come in so handy! It sound like this person did what he could to suppress his anger and I think that’s great but sometimes you can just say this is a really loaded topic for me so I’m just going to ask Billy, “How was that soccer game?” Andrea: The thing to remember, says Amy, is that, it’s not just dinner, it’s THANKSGIVING. And with every helping could come a new tradition, a new memory, even if they are a little goofy.
