Richard, with a lot of help from the daughters, managed to surprise Linda for her birthday and they share some of the shenanigans with us on today 's episode. Then the Eyres turn the discussion to their new course HOW TO LIVE the Second Half and invite all podcast listeners to sign up for free at https://valuesparenting.com/how-to-live/.

"Forgive our prejudice, but we think two new and fast-growing podcasts, one by our daughters and one by our sons, are a must-listen for modern families". So say the Eyres in today's episode, and they explain why! The two podcasts are IN THE ARENA with the Eyre Sisters, and Create Good Stories with Tal Eyre, and both are available wherever you get your podcasts.

Today the Eyres reflect on the mentors they have had during the course of their lives and discuss how "asking for advice" from those we admire can make a difference.

The Eyres recently opened the closet where all of their memories lie in the form of journals, scrapbooks, photos, school papers, and all kinds of other memorabilia resides. On today's episode they talk about how relevant and vital the past is to the present and the future and how possible it is to live in all three at once.

The Eyres have just returned from Palm Springs where they spent a week watching the Indian Wells Tennis tournament, so today they reflect on the week and on the game and on the many parallels between the game of tennis (this applies to pickle ball too) and the game of life. Enjoy a lighter episode of Eyres on the Road.

Today the Eyres come to us from Palm Springs and are talking about what these three 11 letter S-words have in common.

Unofficially, the full name of this podcast, now in its 16th year, is Eyres on the Road with the subtitle HOW TO LIVE The Second Half of Life. The Eyres, and most of their listeners are in that second half, that Autumn, (or if not, their parents are) and Richard and Linda are focusing more and more on the How-Tos of Autumn, focusing on relationships and the things that really matter, and how to do them better.

For Valentines Weekend, the Eyres are thinking about love--the love of friends. They discuss long term friendship, sibling friendship, group friendships and more, and they get into a discussion group called Inklings that they have maintained for nearly 60 years. They end with a discussion of beauty, and how we can find more of it in our lives.

Ceri speaks with artist Erica Eyres, whose work masterfully balances on the edge of discomfort and revelation. Erica shares her creative process, including how she transforms found images into haunting portraits and creates ceramic replicas of mundane objects. The conversation explores the delicate dance between artistic freedom and commercial success and how understanding and overcoming your creative vulnerability shapes you as an artist. KEY TAKEAWAYS Erica embraces her compulsive need to make art constantly, choosing to produce abundantly and edit later rather than limiting her output. Her unique approach to video work requires complete solitude. She plays all characters herself and can only perform when entirely alone, highlighting how some artists need specific conditions to access their creative depths. Through her international exhibition experience, Erica has observed how cultural context dramatically shapes audience reception, particularly noting how her work dealing with childhood themes received starkly different reactions in Denmark versus Glasgow. She views gallery relationships as having organic lifecycles, similar to dating, and has learned to navigate these professional partnerships with both commitment and acceptance of their natural evolution. Experience has taught her to be strategic with social media, sometimes keeping new work private until ready for specific exhibitions, maintaining a careful balance between visibility and preserving work for shows. Teaching at university level has become both a financial anchor and creative stimulus for Erica, keeping her connected to emerging perspectives while forcing efficient use of studio time. Her journey has shown her that success in art isn't about dramatic breakthroughs but rather sustained practice through inevitable ups and downs. BEST MOMENTS "I've definitely had people tell me that I make too much work... but I've sort of also tried to just accept that this is just how I work, is to make quite a lot of work and then eventually edit it down." "It's almost compulsive, I suppose. I really just have this need to make stuff and I've always had that." "I think everyone has a time where things are going really well, like you see really successful artists that have downtimes as well." "The art world is so complicated and I still feel like I'm learning about it and all the kind of idiosyncrasies of it." "Most galleries want to show the best work that an artist could possibly make. That's what they're really looking for." "You never know who's looking... but it also doesn't matter. Do you love what you do enough whether someone's looking or not?" EPISODE RESOURCES PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Today the Eyres take us on a quick overview of their main website and review it as a "toolbox" for parents, grandparents, and families. This is the website where Joy School, Alexanders Adventures (responsibility stories) and "Eyres Free Books" can be found, along with new material on parent/grandparent teamwork.

In this episode, the Eyres discuss an online course they will be teaching about the changes and the differences between the first and second half of life. The emphasis and priority shifts from achievements to relationships and from doing to being. Then they explore the webpage https://valuesparenting.com/how-to-live/

The word that has been the overall title for the last few episodes (and for the accompanying articles at https://latterdaysaintmag.com/living-a-familycentric-life/) suggests that if we can put our families at the center of our lives and view both our circumstances and our opportunities through a familycentric lens...we will begin to find more meaning and more fulfillment in everything we do. Hear the Eyres conclusion to this series in this episode.

On this episode, the Eyres talk about the incredibly deceptive world we live in today--where AI can make it appear that someone we know and trust said something he never said at all. How do we combat deception, and how do we teach our kids to do so? How do we recognize a wolf in sheep's clothing? Is there a spiritual power we can tap into that discerns truth from error. For more, see https://latterdaysaintmag.com/discernment-in-a-time-of-deception/.

In this episode, the Eyres review a current article they wrote at latterdaysaintmag.com on the factors that influence couples in deciding whether to try to become pregnant and have a child; and then Richard and Linda expand the discussion to what declining fertility means to the economies and cultures of developed countries around the world.

The Eyres dive deep in this episode into the question of declining birth rates and the seeming inability of developed countries around the world to replace their populations and maintain their work forces. The macro societal question of "demographic winter" is also a personal question for many couples who are trying to decide whether or not to have children. Also see cover story this weekend at latterdaysaintmag.com

Richard and Linda talk about a different kind of gifts on this episode--spiritual gifts in the form of new insights and eternal truths that they believe were part of a "Restoration" that occurred to start the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A God-initiated restoration is very different than a man-originated reformation and the Eyres discuss that difference today. (Corresponds to a current magazine cover, just google "Meridian Magazine")

Linda and Richard are in Phoenix this week and involved in discussions about how all parents worry about Social Media and Screen-Time, but not enough of us know about all the good and family-prioritizing influencers that are out there. How do we find the "good stuff" online, even as we are trying to protect from the bad? Then the Eyres turn to Christmas, and shifting the family focus from Santa to Jesus.

Today the Eyres do a deep dive into the questions of ageing, of relevance, of diversity, and of the enormous and growing (but undervalued and underused) asset of those who are over 70. If you are a senior, how do you stay relevant in your family, in your church, in your community? And if you are younger, how to you honor and tap in to the wisdom? Maybe, as in sports, we call the older divisions "Masters."

On the morning after Thanksgiving, Richard and Linda talk about their day of gratitude with their family and the guest family of refugees from Guatemala who joined them for the holiday. Is gratitude inversely related to how much we have? Why do those with less blessings seem to appreciate them more? Two of the Eyres' grandkids join them for part of the podcast.

Casting from Las Vegas today, the Eyres finish a discussion they started last episode about the 3-letter lesson ALM referring to the acts of mercy and compassion that Jesus called alms. An act of service or lifting is called an "almdeed" in the New Testament. They then juxtaposition that word with the 3-letter lesson WIN which is a blessing when we make it a win-win, and a curse when we make it a win-lose.

As the Eyres celebrate Richard's 80th birthday, their minds are on memories, traditions, and the coming holiday season. So instead of getting to their three-letter lesson of ALM, they merely introduce it for next week and spend the podcast talking about how family traditions are the glue that holds families together, and discussing how traditions actually ripen and grow with age.

On today's episode, Richard and Linda cast from Jackson Hole where they have spent the week with all nine of their children celebrating Richard's BIG birthday. As the party breaks up, they sit down with Saren to discuss her work with family and parent coaching and her extensive website PowerofFamilies.com.

After 12 episodes exploring a "new lens" for viewing Church and family, the Eyres get back to their ongoing series on "3-Letter Lessons"--little word-pegs that remind us of perspectives and attitudes we want to embrace. Today the word is AGE, and Richard and Linda advocate that age and its wisdom and perspective should be valued, respected, tapped-into, and even cherished-- much more so than it is in western society today.

(Re-run from 10/30/2020) Lincoln said "Sometimes I am driven to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I have no place else to go." As parents, we often feel this same feeling. Parenting is hard, children are complicated, the world is dangerous and confusing, particularly in this pandemic--and we are driven to our knees because we have nowhere else to go. And this can be a GOOD THING, because an earthly parent praying to a Heavenly Parent about a child that they share can create some of the most fervent, effectual prayers ever uttered. And it can generate answers that we would never find anywhere else. On today's show, the Eyres talk about parental prayer and how we can all make it a more important part of our lives.

The Eyres are in New York City for the US Open Tennis tournament (and a little Broadway) and use the first part of this episode to think about their 60-year love affair with the City. They then move on to discuss the final installment of the 12-essay series on Familycentricity which focuses on Christ and how He is both the End, the Means, and the Joy of our lives. To see the full article go to latterdaysaintsmag.com.

Today the Eyres are thinking a little about ageing. But they are also talking about the fact that "family" should not just have the nuclear definition of parents and children, but the more common world definition of three or even four generations--often all living under one roof. They ask if, without living all together, we can partake of the benefits of 3-generation families. See accompanying article at latterdaysaintmag.com.

In this episode the Eyres talk about how a parental attitude of extreme humility, acknowledging the "everythingness" of God and our own "nothingness" can impact the atmosphere and the perspective of our children and our families. Through personal stories and experiences Richard and Linda summarize their article which is currently the cover story in Meridian Magazine at latterdaysaintmag.com.

In the first half of this episode the Eyres talk about the log cabin they built as a family in the Blue Mountains of Oregon--where their five sons and 20 of their grandkids are "camping" this week. In the second half they shift to an overview of an essay series they are writing on viewing the Gospel of Jesus Christ within a family centric paradigm. You can find the summary of all 12 essays at latterdaysaintmag.com this weekend.

There are more than 2.5 billion Christians in the world who refer to God as "Father." Usually it is a term of respect or honor, symbolic or metaphorical for Creator (as in Thomas Edison being the "Father" of the light bulb.) But there is one Church, one Faith Tradition, that uses the term Father literally, and that is what the Eyres talk about in this episode. For more on this subject, see the cover story at latterdaysaintmag.com.

Today the Eyres, fresh off of a retreat with their four soon-to-be missionary grandsons, talk about the interplay between family and church, and how, in an ideal world, religion supports and backs up families. They believe that it is families that are eternal, not churches, and that we are all part of families here on earth and part of God's family for eternity. Read the article they refer to at https://latterdaysaintmag.com/making-sense-of-the-gospel-through-a-family-lens/.

How do we get ourselves and our kids in touch with the Spirit or Higher Intelligence of God, to help us discern truth from error and give us the security and comfort we need? The Eyres suggest that there are four portals (abbreviated PTL) that get us "in" to the Spirit: Joy, Love, Peace, and Beauty. Today, they discuss these four portals as both the passwords into the Spirit, and as the manifestations of the Spirit.

(Saren, left, as a 5 year old in England) In their ongoing effort to introduce podcast listeners to their children who they talk about so often, the Eyres interview their first daughter Saren on today's episode. Saren's stellar Wellesley/Harvard education, her LDS mission to Bulgaria, and having 5 kids of her own in five years launched her into a life of service to other parents and families and to coaching and speaking to parents worldwide through her organization, poweroffamilies.com

The Eyres are in Laguna Beach today and In this new episode they continue their series on "3-letter lessons" and focus on OBS or Observe. Really seeing, truly noticing, and the effort to be acutely aware is the key to all learning and all becoming. Jesus taught us to "watch and pray" and the better we get at observing the more we will have of gratitude, calmness, love, beauty, peace, perspective, inspiration, and joy.

The Eyres cast today from the South of Italy, the "boot" as it is called, where Richard is playing in an international senior tennis tournament. They are traveling with their son Tal, featured on last week's podcast with his new book DAD MODE, and his Swiss wife Anita who is a noted personal coach. Tal and Anita tell "their story" which includes a year long "humanitarian honeymoon." See more at TalEyre.com and AnitaJoosEyre.com.

Linda and Richard get personal on today's show, and talk about what each of their adult children are doing to strengthen and encourage families. Perhaps the permissible form of pride is the kind we all have for our kids, and the Eyres, while acknowledging that everyone has problems, let it rip about their pride in each of their progeny, and give us websites to follow each of them in the family-work they are doing.

Today the Eyres make a strong appeal for a more inclusive definition of "FAMILY" and suggest that blood really is thicker than water. Conscious, diligent effort to stay connected with parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles and even ancestors is important and always pays off. Family is not just parents and kids: we are ALL part of a family. The Eyres give four specific suggestions on how to connect and synergize.

The Eyres continue their 3-letter lesson series with the concept of "easy" and the question of whether we should think of our lives as hard or easy and how we can move from one toward the other. For Easter week, Richard and Linda have focused on Matt. 11:30 where Christ says "My yoke is easy" and they examine both spiritual and secular approaches to simplifying, prioritizing, and "sharpening our saws."

How can parents and grandparents work together in a synergistic way for the good of the children? How can we keep ourselves connected with good parenting and grandparenting ideas? The Eyres discuss these questions and point us toward their website EyresFreeBooks.com where many of their books are instantly available for free and where there are discount links for their latest books.

Today the Eyres are at Indian Wells at a tennis tournament and talk about how Linda adopted Richard's love for tennis. The discussion expands to how Richard developed a love for Linda's profession of classical music, and then broadens to the concept of making the interests of those you love into your own interests and learning from each other even as we expand our own horizons.

Richard is flying solo from Phoenix this week on Eyres on the Road while Linda is traveling with her sisters-in-law, so Richard is taking the opportunity to explore some recent public polling data that shows that the individual rather than the family has become the basic unit of American thought and culture and that good jobs and income are thought to be more relevant to well-being than being married or having children. What can be done?

In this episode, the Eyres explore Richard's new article in Meridian Magazine (latterdaysaintmag.com) called Paradigm Shifts on the Road to Exaltation, and discuss how important it is to see religion and faith institutions as support mechanisms for our relationships and human connections--as the means to the end of loving each other in ways that bring us joy, particularly in our families.

On today's episode, Linda and Richard talk about one of their websites called eyresfreebooks.com where about half of their 60 published books can be found, and read, for free. Once the copyrights and publishing rights revert back to the Eyres from the publisher, they make it free and put it up on this website and today on the podcast they discuss their motives for doing this.

As the Eyres move into their 14th season (there have now been over 600 podcast episodes) they return to their series on Three-Letter Lessons. KFB represents KNOW, FEEL, and BELIEVE and the discussion is about how these three concepts work together and co-exist under the umbrella of Faith. Richard and Linda's objective today is to get us all to think more about all three.

Today's episode is essentially a tribute to books, and Richard and Linda talk about their lifetime love affair with books, quoting Ben Franklin who advocated that a person should always carry two books, the one he is reading and the one he is writing. The Eyres get a little personal and tell about the books they are working on right now.

It's a big subject, but the Eyres zoom in this episode on how parents and grandparents talk (and don't talk) about the financial aspects and lessons of life with children; and about what family systems can be put in place to help kids of all ages become financially responsible and avoid the Entitlement Trap. It's important to think it through and have a plan within your family!

PROPINQUITY means "the state of being intimate and close to someone--as in close family kinship," and in this episode the Eyres discuss how we can build more propinquity into our 3-generation families through parents and grandparents working in synergy and even symbiotically together as managers and consultants with the common goal of the well being of the children.
