Pay pigs and prayer warriors, we come to you with tragic news. Unfortunately, Kenny has perished in a tragic dressage horse related incident. However, due to their connection to the Kennedys, they will be back and stronger than ever due to the same cybernetics that they gave to Robert Kennedy. And rejoice! for the All-Mother of Big Soy Naturals, the legendary Joan Summer of Eating for Free has arrived to replace Kendall. This week, Ceres and Joan tackle the Protestant sexual politic of the incoming generations. Where every other two bit verified Twitter user has gotten it wrong, your they and she-devils are here to get it right. The duo talk about the trend of sexual puritanism and how it all ties back to FOSTA-SESTA, hyper-individualism, a commodity-based culture, and a rise in the belief that sexual relations should be used only to produce new labor. Stay on that sigma grindset! And by grindset we mean grinding your genitals together in public.

Each of the 5.6 million Americans with dementia has one or more caregivers struggling to make meaning while watching their loved one's personality vanish. The caregiver is sure to be changed―not only by the myriad tasks and responsibilities, but by the soul-searching questions: Dare, I hope? Who's to blame? What do I do with my anger? Where's God in this? These questions of doubt, guilt, intimacy, depression, and acceptance are ultimately questions of spirit. Joining us today is Jean Denton. Jean is a former Joy's House caregiver, an ordained Episcopal priest and spiritual companion with a background in nursing and public health, and the author of Walking Each Other Home: Spiritual Companionship for Dementia Caregivers.

We're joined by a founding member of the LBD Collective who shares her motivation for joining our sisterhood, what her "aha!" moments have been over the past 9 months of learning and growth we've spent together, and the #1 way the Collective is helping her shift her mindset as she surrounds herself with fellow growth-oriented women. Here's what Michele has to say about her LBD Collective experience:"I really look forward to our bi-monthly Zoom calls!  The women in the group, along with you Kate, are all so amazing.  It is easy to be myself amongst everyone, and the accountability of showing up for myself feels great! I'm prioritizing my personal growth and am working towards my big goals and dreams.""I love the companionship with like-minded, growth-oriented women.  It's so refreshing.

Hello to you listening in Muscat, Gulf of Oman!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.We've seen the movies, we've read the books and maybe like me you wonder: what is it about the very best of them that draws us in? I have an answer: the more vulnerable and open the character, the more relatable the character is to us. It takes such courage to be vulnerable and open that we can't help but draw closer to the heat of the human flame, curious about its nature.      Ironic, isn't it? Decades of training as cold, aloof, unapproachable leaders has rebounded such that leaders are now questing for like-minded souls who see the merit of vulnerability and openness in leadership. “What? You, too? I thought I was the only one.” [C.S. Lewis]  Leaders might take a page from C.S. Lewis: “Friendship arises out of mere Companionship when two or more of the companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or even taste which the others do not share and which, till that moment, each believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden). The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, "What? You too? I thought I was the only one." ... It is when two such persons discover one another, when, whether with immense difficulties and semi-articulate fumblings or with what would seem to us amazing and elliptical speed, they share their vision - it is then that Friendship is born. And instantly they stand together in an immense solitude.” [C.S. Lewis]Story Prompt: When has a leader's honest vulnerability encouraged your own? What happened next? Write that story!Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something.   All that matters is you have a story.You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Welcome to Day 2,001 of  Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Advantages Of Companionship – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 2001 of our Trek. We are transitioning in the structure of Wisdom-Trek to focus on the great wisdom books of the Bible. One habit I have practiced nearly every day for the past 45+ years of my adult life is to read the chapter in the book of Proverbs that corresponds to the day of the month. This single habit has been the catalyst for gaining wisdom and living a life with wisdom. Adopting this habit can do the same for your life. So, beginning October 1st, I will start publishing the reading of the chapter in Proverbs that corresponds to the day of the month. Before that, I am reading through the book of Ecclesiastes. King Solomon, who wrote both Ecclesiastics and Proverbs, was the wisest person to live. He wrote Ecclesiastes late in his life, after trying many other paths to wisdom, and then he was brought back to the realization that God's Wisdom is the only true wisdom. This realization is what drives me to seek out God's wisdom each day. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today I will read Ecclesiastes 4, and I have titled this chapter: The Advantages Of Companionship Again, I observed all the oppression that takes place under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, with no one to comfort them. The oppressors have great power, and their victims are helpless. 2 So I concluded that the dead are better off than the living. 3 But most fortunate of all are those who are not yet born. For they have not seen all the evil that is done under the sun. 4 Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless—like chasing the wind. 5 “Fools fold their idle hands, leading them to ruin.” 6 And yet, “Better to have one handful with quietness than two handfuls with hard work and chasing the wind.” The Advantages of Companionship 7 I observed yet another example of something meaningless under the sun. 8 This is the case of a man who is all alone, without a child or a brother, yet who works hard to gain as much wealth as he can. But then he asks himself, “Who am I working for? Why am I giving up so much pleasure now?” It is all so meaningless and depressing. 9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. 11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? 12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. The Futility of Political Power 13 It is better to be a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king who refuses all advice. 14 Such a youth could rise from poverty and succeed. He might even become king, though he has been in prison. 15 But then everyone rushes to the side of yet another youth[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes%204&version=NLT#fen-NLT-17373a (a)] who replaces him. 16 Endless crowds stand around him,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes%204&version=NLT#fen-NLT-17374b (b)] but then another generation grows up and rejects him, too. So it is all meaningless—like chasing the wind. As you ponder this chapter covering The Advantages of Companionship, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.' Thank you so much for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and, most importantly, your friend

We all love our pets. It doesn't matter if it's a cat, a dog, a bunny rabbit, or a hedgehog. Your pet provides comfort and companionship. Many people would agree that pets have a positive impact on well-being, but that doesn't mean they can be classed as an actual "service animal." There are rules on that, and the provincial government updated them recently. John Abbott is the minister of Children, Seniors and Social Development, and the Minister Responsible for the Status of Persons with Disabilities.

Alone! is the title of Admiral William Byrd's autobiography.  It's the story of his life as this celebrated explorer tells about his experience in a little hut in the Antarctic near the South Pole.  Byrd tells how the isolation of seeing no other human being day after day began working on his mind and emotions as he spent the long winter alone, separated from friends and loved ones, even separated from friendly animals which might have offered some companionship or comfort.  "Alone!"  None would deny it, but a person does not have to spend a long arctic night in a little hut near the pole to know what it is to experience feelings of isolation and loneliness.

"Being part of an ensemble taught me to look not just at my line but at all the music. The composer gives you so much information in the orchestra that you don't get from just the vocal line. That really informs your character. It allows me to be more fun and more creative if I can focus on being part of the whole at any given time."Bass Benjamin Sieverding of Minneapolis, MN has gained notice for his “resonant, expressive bass” (StarTribune). He most recently made his Metropolitan Opera debut as one of the Offstage Voices/Jury in Brett Dean's Hamlet.

What You'll Hear In This Episode:How does an avoidant man's behavior shift from the beginning of dates to when things get a little more comfortable? What makes an avoidant man want to get in a relationship in the first place? Women rationalize this behavior more when he's “nice”.These nice avoidants seem to have every piece except for the consistent interest and commitment, keeping a woman sticking around and hoping he will change. In the Emotionally Naked Dating course, you'll hearn how to ask the right questions to move things forward for a future together, or if they're going to bolt. Movies and TV shows give us false ideals by showing super avoidant men magically changing their whole lifestyle if/when the right woman walks by. That isn't real.Just because things are better than your last relationship, doesn't mean it's the best option for you.

THE ENEMIES OF INTIMACYMarriage Rescue - Part 4Senior Pastor Keith StewartAugust 21, 2022You were made to crave intimacy. We all have an insatiable desire to be known and loved at the deepest level. At the same time, our understanding of love has been distorted by our upbringing, our culture, and our experiences in relationships. In this weekend's message, we're going to discover what love is all about - the very love God designed for our hearts to crave. Do you have the kind of love that can go the distance? This message is all about how to keep your marriage healthy, happy, and strong.SERIES: Marriage RescueIt's a hugely popular show on the Paramount Network and it's called Bar Rescue. Jon Taffer, who has more than 40 years of experience in the business, offers his no-nonsense straight talk to struggling bar owners to help save their business and put them back on the road to success. What if there was such a person who could help us with our real life and relationships? What if a little no-nonsense straight talk about what it takes to build a healthy relationship could actually save our marriage and gets us back on the road to success? In this new series, Pastor Keith will share out of his 40-year relationship with Brenda the keys to help a couple move from status quo to spectacular – pointing out the stumbling blocks and steppingstones in achieving healthy, mutually-satisfying relationships.DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMost of this message was an amplification of the three love foundations of marriage, looking at it first from an Old Testament perspective, then a New Testament perspective, followed by Sternberg's psychological findings that validate all three as essential qualities in healthy, happy relationships.1.)  Take some time to discuss what you remember about each of the following qualities. What are their defining characteristics? Why are they so essential? What happens when they are absent? What area of loving needs more attention in your life, not just what you would like to experience more of but also where do you tend to be weaker in meeting that need in your mate?PASSION – Eros (Greek) and Dod (Hebrew)INTIMACY – Filia (Greek) and Raya (Hebrew)COMMITMENT - Agape (Greek) and Ahava (Hebrew)2.)  Sternberg's research has found that when one aspect of love is neglected or absent, it leads to imbalanced, unfulfilling, and non-enduring loves. Discuss the following and if you have known examples of this.High passion + high intimacy = Romantic loveHigh passion + high commitment = Foolish loveHigh intimacy + high commitment = Companionship love3.)  God loves us in all three ways. In fact, it's because of Him that we even have the capacity to love others in this way. What would you say to someone who says they struggle with really knowing, understanding, or experiencing the love of God? What practical ways would you suggest to them to have a greater experience of the love of God? How have you come to better know, understand and experience the love of God?https://www.springcreekchurch.org/#realspringcreekchurch #marriagerescue #relationalbaggage #relationships #anger #mad #intimacy #enemiesofintimacy 

What You'll Hear In This Episode:How do you even know if you're settling? What does it look / feel like? Why do men settle, and how is it different from the reasons women settle? How settling sets us up for a feedback loop of losing self confidence and self-esteem.Why staying in a relationship hoping the other person will change is a dead end street! Benjamin and Lisa talk about a client who settled for more than 30 years and was finally able to see the light and leave. What does it mean to “marry beneath you” financially, physically, etc. Lisa opens up about using her financial stability to attract men and then resenting them for not making a living, and how she turned it around to learn how to raise her own self-esteem and ultimately, her own self-worth. Continue On Your JourneyLisa Shield | YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | Book a Call With LisaEmail the podcast at: podcast@lisashield.comMentioned:Quotes:“They can tell that the person isn't really emotionally available, but they keep settling in the relationship. They keep staying anyway.” - Lisa “Often, people will stay in a relationship or a feeling hoping that the person will change, or they can change the other person. It seldom happens.” - Benjamin “We can feel when suddenly we've set aside our dreams and aspirations to just get through the day.” - Benjamin “When you're with the wrong person, you can't be with the right person, or you can't go out and find the right person, it takes a toll on our self esteem.” - Lisa

What does great love look like for you? Is it connection or autonomy? Is it having someone to come home to or having your own space? These are things that often get overlooked in the quest for romantic love. But for women over 40, these are some serious considerations.To help with those considerations, Suzette breaks down the difference between companionship vs partnership, the pros and cons, and why women need to be clear about which is the best fit for them in a relationship.Societal and family pressures are real and oftentimes it's hard to distinguish what you really want from what is expected. If you need some breathing space to consider your options and what would be best for you, schedule some time with me. I have helped women get the clarity they need to make the best decisions for them.

What You'll Hear In This Episode:How having a roadmap can help lead you to answer the age old question, “where are all the good men at?!”Most people are like teenagers when it comes to dating.Why being accomplished, attractive, and available isn't enough for finding love, based in respect and friendship. Lisa talks about how she gained the emotional maturity she needed in order to find the mature love she wanted.What is the cost of not having a roadmap to love? Why just learning information and watching YouTube videos on finding love isn't enough. When you have a roadmap, you aren't wasting your time going after men presenting red flags, or in relationships that are solely chemistry based.Finding the Guardian of Your Soul is going to feel very ordinary - and that's a good thing!Continue On Your JourneyLisa Shield | YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | Book a Call With LisaEmail the podcast at: podcast@lisashield.comMentioned:Quotes:“Having a roadmap means having a step by step plan that puts all of the pieces of this puzzle together, the pieces you already have, and the pieces you have yet to learn. So you can stop wasting precious time and find true love now.” - Lisa “Finding the guardian of your soul, in some ways, is going to feel very ordinary.” - Lisa “Unless we learn other ways we'll just default back to the same things we did in junior high school.”- Benjamin“If you really know what to look for in a man, you can find many of them. But most people are not always valuing the right things, or looking for the right things.” - Lisa

Robot Companionship: Impractical now, sure, but wait until the uprisings!

Todd talks to his mother, Melanie, about how families form around defining members and moments. The Levine family was created around his brother, Jay, and moved forward with the compassion and conviction of Melanie. They reflect on how they purely embraced who Jay was and how they saw a future of companionship and community for him in s2. E6. N16. of the Otherness Podcast titled Faith without knowing. Autism Family Reflections from Mom.It took a while for Todd's mother, Melanie, to join him for a family conversation on the Otherness Podcast. When they recorded this episode, Todd was able to remember how she led the Levine family into the uncharted waters of being truly present with his brother, Jay. Companionship for Jay was the top priority for Melanie, and she shares the experiences and images that fueled her faith and hope. Todd's brother, Jay, has a steady job, his own apartment, and a caring girlfriend. Objectively, one could say that Jay is a success as a man, let alone one with autism. In this conversation between Todd and his mother, Melanie, these successes are not the focal point. The more meaningful creations were the relationships that were fueled by Jay's true desire to connect and set by Melanie's steady faith in his capacity for companionship with individuals and his community. Melanie shares an important family story of when she went to a local hardware store many years ago and met an employee there that reminded her of Jay. He wore a wedding ring and Melanie wondered who his wife was. She returned to the store a few days later and saw this man's wife and was moved by how similar they were to each other as well as to Jay. The image of that couple stayed with her during Jay's arduous yet fulfilling road towards being with someone who truly cared about him. Todd and Melanie also discuss how she went to the many school meetings to help Jay get the resources he needed being cooperative and non-adversarial, even if she was angry about what wasn't being done for him. Todd describes what it was like to be forged in autism as Jay's brother and how there was no real concept of abnormality in the relationship.The Otherness Podcast is exploring and engaging autism through experienced stories with Dr. Todd Peter Levine and is available on most places and sites where you like to listen to podcasts.S2.

Most of us would rather not be alone at the end of life, which is why so many organisations, charities and faith groups are coming together to find a solution. There are a number of very effective community groups, relying primarily on volunteers, that offer a valuable service befriending and walking with people approaching the end of their lives. Our first guest on this 'Art of Dying Well' podcast is Patrick Dollard of Compassionate Neighbours - a community project that started at St Joseph's Hospice in Hackney, east London. We then engage in a little 'Death Chatter' with Razna Al Faradhi from Eden Care - an organisation that pairs befrienders with those nearing the end of life offering support with their personal, social and spiritual needs.Finally, the 'Voice from the Bedside Chair' comes from friend-of-the-show Dr Lynn Bassett. Lynn, from our end of life companionship project in partnership with the St Vincent de Paul Society, talks to us about an exciting one-day conference we're holding in-person and online at St Mary's University, Twickenham on Thursday, 22 September.

But is this person willing to integrate you into his life?” - Lisa“I used to be a judge of character, and now, I realized I was just judging people. Now, I'm a really good read of someone's character.” - Lisa

As a single mom with three young children, is it okay for me to want another person around to help carry the load? I used to feel pretty self-sufficient, but the burden of doing it all by myself is getting heavier. I work full time, take online college courses, and I'm active in church. Do you have any advice for someone in my situation?

This week, Kevin and Niseema talk about ways to recognize and cultivate “Companionship” and “Belonging,” the two themes of the Loneliness Scale questions, (see button below.) Did your parents have companions or feel a sense of belonging in their community or social circle?  If not, you may have a high tolerance for isolation and loneliness yourself. Birth order is also a factor: first-born children are often the parent/caregiver's companions while last-born children are often the loneliest, especially in a large family. Hoarding and addictions can be seen as "companions" too: though in reality, both are very isolating, cutting us off from the sense of belonging we crave. It is a paradox!In the second half of the show Kevin and Niseema go through four steps that can help EASE your loneliness: Extend your boundaries, have Action plan, Select an activity, and Expect the best. By practicing these four simple steps anyone can move from a sense of isolation and loneliness to a place of companionship and a feeling of belonging.-----------------------For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP  at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488. You can sign up for our weekly newsletter at www.tffpp.org.These are challenging times and we hope this episode served to validate and ease your anxiety about what you may be experiencing. Please feel free to also suggest show ideas to the above email. Thank you for listening,Kevin and Niseemawww.tffpp.orghttps://www.kevinlmhc.comwww.niseema.comwww.thepositivemindcenter.comPRODUCTION CREDITSOpening Music : Another Country, Pure Shadowfax, ShadowfaxBreak Music:" Lonely Too Long."
