Where Are The Answers I Seek? Your host completes a trilogy of visits with "Hello, Henry" on WBT, AM 1110, in Charlotte, NC. This broadcast also completes the series of interviews to promote personal retreating with Friend Ship at Sea and was done after the KGBC production of Power for Positive Living. In addition to an active conversation on various aspects of wellness psychology, Dr. Hughey and Henry pose many questions and answers for listeners to consider as they face issues in their lives. One caller's inquiry allows the discussion of where do each of us seeks the answers to the questions of life. Do we tend to seek "the answers" from outside sources or do we tend to believe that we can discover answers only within ourselves? Or do we tend to see life as "a gift we have only to receive" and not spend time with introspective exploration? The concept of "degrees" returns with an approach of finding ways to avoid either/or responses and then seek to learn from a merging of possible answers.
My Choices for Positive Mental Health As the Power for Positive Living radio series moves on from KGBC broadcasting, the focus turns toward what your host has personally learned from his experience and adventure of offering wellness psychology concepts to others. Any life experience is open for one to learn. What each of us chooses to learn from whatever happens along our Life Journey has been and will continue to be a personal decision. Change continues in our lives and each retains the power to choose our individual responses. Johnathan Livingston's "Seagull," writes that each of us has a duty to learn and seek the best for who we are. While seeking knowledge is valuable for our individual development, each of us also has an obligation to share with others what has been learned for anyone who may choose to receive these gifts. The gifts we choose to give and the ones we chose to receive in our lives remains our personal decision. Power for Positive Living has been an effort to share what your host has learned over the years. Each listener is encouraged to consider this knowledge and utilize any relevant portion of it within their own individual lives.
Choosing My Personal Life Journey, Part 1 This KGBC broadcast is an interview to better understand the history and evolution of Friend Ship as well as its facilitator's personal life journey. An interest in knowing the life story of James Hughey and his creating of Friend Ship as a wellness psychology ministry prior to its weekly broadcasting on KGBC in Galveston, Texas, will find this interview by Charles McCullough to be of interest.
Building Friend Ship For You The process of introducing the wellness psychology foundation of Friend Ship to the Galveston-Houston community continues with a spirited interview with Doug Johnson on talk radio KPRC, AM 950, in Houston, Texas. Friend Ship evolves from an entertainment self-learning program offered on cruise ships at sea to the building of Friend Ship House in Galveston. This interview stresses the unique feature of having individuals 'check out' from their daily lives, roles, and commitments to immerse themselves in a self-learning experiential and experimental individualized program within a land-based program. Friend Ship also grew from Friend Ship at Sea and Friend Ship House to include a weekly personal growth radio program (Power for Positive Living) which debuted on Galveston's AM radio station, KGBC.
