“God is the answer to your questions. God is the answer to your problems.” That's the good news Dr. J. Vernon McGee shares in our final study Habakkuk. Travel along as the prophet ultimately decides that regardless of the circumstances in which he finds himself, he will rejoice in God.

Are you working longer than you need to because of a retirement planning mistake? One of the biggest misconceptions is assuming you will spend the same amount every year in retirement. The reality is different, and understanding it could change when you retire.Experts call it the retirement smile. In your “go-go years” (65–75), spending is highest. Travel, hobbies, and experiences often run $60,000 to $65,000 a year for the average household. In the “slow-go years” (76–85), spending usually drops to $50,000 to $55,000 as travel slows down. Then come the “no-go years” (86+), where overall expenses dip but healthcare costs rise, creating the curve that completes the smile.At Root Financial, many of our clients with $1.5 to $3.5 million in assets might spend $150,000 to $200,000 early on, adjust to $100,000 to $150,000 mid-retirement, and later see healthcare push costs back up to $150,000 to $250,000. The lesson is clear. Planning with a flat budget often means you are overestimating your needs, delaying retirement, or underspending when you could be living more fully. A flexible withdrawal approach, starting around 5 percent, creates freedom while protecting long-term security.Do not let financial fear rob you of retirement joy. Whether it is traveling to the World Cup or simply extending family vacations, understanding your retirement smile can help you step into retirement with confidence and peace of mind.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

Ep 185 w/ Matt Dennis On Travelling With A Disability: Breaking Barriers, Accessible Travel + MindsetIn this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I'm joined by Matt Dennis — a travel writer, journalist, and accessibility advocate — to discuss his inspiring journey of travelling with a disability and how mindset can transform the way we see the world.Matt, also known as The Empowered Traveller, has been featured in publications like Metro, The Independent, Evening Standard, and Adventure.com. His work shines a light on accessible travel and how small changes in infrastructure, awareness, and attitude can open up destinations for millions of travellers worldwide.We dive into Matt's story of becoming disabled at 18, navigating life with a paralysed leg, and discovering the confidence and freedom that comes through travel. From interrailing across Europe with crutches and a backpack to advocating for accessibility at global tourism expos, Matt shows that travel is not just possible with a disability — it can be empowering and life-changing.Throughout the episode, Matt shares insights into the realities of accessible travel, including which destinations are leading the way and which still have a long way to go. We explore countries such as Canada, France, Albania, and India, and discuss how accessibility isn't just about wheelchair ramps — it's about inclusive design, public transportation, adapted activities, and, most importantly, mindset.This conversation also highlights why accessible tourism matters for everyone. With ageing populations and an increasing number of people living with mobility challenges, accessibility benefits not only disabled travellers but also seniors, families, and anyone who wants easier, more inclusive travel experiences.Whether you are a disabled traveller looking for tips, an industry professional seeking to understand the importance of accessibility, or simply curious about how to make travel more inclusive, this episode will open your eyes to the possibilities.We discuss:Matt's first major adventures travelling with crutches and a backpack across EuropeThe mental side of disability and how mindset influences what's possibleThe challenges and triumphs of accessibility in destinations around the worldWhy countries that embrace accessibility benefit travellers of all abilitiesHow accessible travel opens doors not just for disabled travellers, but for everyoneWhether you're a traveller with a disability, know someone who is, or want better to understand the importance of accessibility in global travel, this conversation will leave you inspired.Matt DennisWebsite - https://www.empoweredtraveller.com/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheEmpoweredTraveller-hh6vo

Traveling with neurodivergent children requires specific strategies, but it's entirely possible and rewarding when you understand how to support their unique needs.• Mindset shift is crucial - see behaviors as brain differences, not deliberate disruptions• Prepare thoroughly by discussing travel plans and showing destination videos beforehand• Create personalized toolkits with noise-canceling headphones, fidgets, and familiar snacks• Allow movement breaks in airports before long flights regardless of others' opinions• Consider using the sunflower lanyard program which signals invisible disabilities to airport staff• Implement calm-down techniques like tracing letters on your child's back during meltdowns• Be cautious with melatonin use as it can increase tantrums in some children• Travel builds confidence by bringing history to life and nurturing specific interests• Give neurodivergent children input into activities to increase their engagementRemember that you're never going to see these people again, so focus on your child's needs rather than worrying about strangers' judgments.

In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, Annie Sargent shares the Bootcamp 2025 Report with guests Janet Boyd, Beth Hall, Mary Piltch, and Jeanne Powanda. Together, they look back on a week in Toulouse and the southwest of France filled with language, history, food, and friendship. Listen to this episode ad-free Bootcamp isn't a packaged tour. It's a flexible way to explore France in the company of fellow Francophiles. Each person chooses what to do each day, but the group also gathers for shared adventures. That balance of independence and connection makes Bootcamp special. Janet, Beth, Mary, and Jeanne describe language classes at LangueOnze in Toulouse and share stories of excursions with Elyse Rivin. They talk about unforgettable visits to Albi, Carcassonne, Foix, Bruniquel, Pech Merle, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, and Cahors. They also mention smaller experiences like wine tastings, a canal ride, and museums such as the Toulouse Resistance Museum and the Musée Saint-Raymond. Not everything went smoothly. There were rainstorms, illness, and the occasional missed outing. But those hiccups became part of the story, a reminder that real travel is unpredictable. What matters most is the camaraderie, the discoveries, and the laughter along the way. Bootcamp 2025 shows what it feels like to experience France beyond the tourist trail. It's about castles and caves, local food, and the joy of connecting with people who share the same passion for French culture.

It's widely acknowledged that art and madness often go hand in hand. Blend in some incompetent police work and you've got a crime they'll still be talking about in the next century. We sure are. Nostalgia Month continues as Christopher and Eric celebrate crossing 300 episodes. A CRIME TO REMEMBER has always been one their favorite series, and episode three of season four, entitled "Such A Pretty Face" is both riveting and surprising. Travel back in time to depression era America, where modeling was a disgraceful profession, strange men renting your spare bedroom was a regular occurrence, and the police felt free to beat the crap out of you until you confessed to whatever crime they were investigating at the time. You know, the good old days when things were still apparently so great.

"Set in post-Katrina New Orleans, this hour-long drama series, from executive producers David Simon and Eric Overmyer, follows the lives of ordinary residents as they struggle with the after-effects of the 2005 hurricane. Says star and New Orleans native Wendell Pierce, 'The only things people had to hang on to were the rich traditions we knew that survived the test of time before: our music, food and family, family that included anyone who decided to accept the challenge to return.' The large ensemble cast is supported by notable real-life New Orleanians, including many of its famous musicians." "Roxanne Harde is Professor of English at the University of Alberta's Augustana Faculty, where she also serves as Associate Dean, Research. A McCalla University Professor, Roxanne researches and teaches American literature and culture, focusing on popular culture, women's writing and children's literature, and Indigenous literature."

The South needs “Yankees.” An ex-Confederate, discussing Alexandria, said: “A dozen live Yankees would regenerate this town, and make fortunes at it.” They would pave the streets, cover in the sewers, build up the vacant spots in the heart of the city, supply mechanical work at less inhuman prices than are now charged, and make this rich and intelligent community as attractive in appearance as the citizens are socially. One such man has made a new city of Alexandria. He has made the people pave their streets, put in modern sewerage, water, electricity, etc., build most creditable structures to house the public officials, and in a word, has “hustled the South,” till it had to put him temporarily out of office until it got its “second wind.” This week in Louisiana history.

We're recording poolside at Disney's brand-new tower at the Polynesian Village Resort to talk all about the best Disney staycation resorts across several categories. Most people think of Walt Disney World as a place where you have to be in the parks from sunrise to fireworks, but we believe some of the very best Disney vacations happen when you never even step foot inside a park.For us, a Disney staycation is all about slowing down, relaxing, and enjoying everything the resorts have to offer. These aren't just hotels — they're destinations on their own. We're talking pools that feel like mini waterparks, restaurants that rival anything in Orlando, lounges with unbeatable theming, and hidden corners where you can kick back and unwind. Each resort has its own atmosphere, and some truly transport you to another world.In this episode, we're breaking it all down across several categories — from best pools and dining to most relaxing resorts, family favorites, and even a few hidden gems that often get overlooked. Whether you're planning your very first no-parks Disney getaway or you just want to know which resorts we think make for the perfect staycation, we've got you covered.
