Loving Life With Charlie Huero

Giving should happen 365 days a year! Loving Life Podcast S2E50In this episode I talk about when you give, how much you give and some best practices of giving! It's not always about money. Giving clothing, food, assistance, a smile, and even TIME! What a concept!

From those scratchy tags on your clothes to pop up adds and toilet paper, who thought this stuff would be "cool" to put out there? Check out the top "irritants" out there. I'm sure you could add more!

The phrase really goes like this, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." and I think in every aspect of life that can ring true. I think most of us learn from our mistakes. Sometimes it might take a little longer with people, but that's fine, right? If we could choose "easy" each time we would. In fact a commercial for office supplies created the "easy" button. (They even made them up and sold them to the public!) Mother Nature chooses easy too. The path of least resistance. Go figure. Get tough. Get to it! 

You have heard the phrase before, now as adults do you use this phrase? The topic came to mind when I saw a short story about the rules we used to have as kids with food and meals. The rules we break now as adults!!! Short podcast for you today poking fun at it all! Enjoy. ~ Charlie

In my early life, if you were to tell me that I would have a personal phone conversation with Dennis DeYoung from STYX, I may have chuckled and said "No way!". It happened, and it was awesome! We talk about the internet, the shows after STYX, hearing his songs in the grocery store, and what kind of candy he is passing out at the DEYOUNG house for Halloween. Give a listen. Great guy!

"Regrets, I've had a few, but then again too few to mention." Thank you Frank Sinatra. How many though? How much time have you wasted over the years and how could you have changed that? Well, it may be too late for the past, but I can change things for the rest of this ride called "life". Plus- I can pass it on to the kids, and so can you.

After spending some time traveling this month, there were tons of things that stuck out that people need to be made aware of. Everything from smelly feet to proper etiquette on the plane. Sandra and I have the kids on the show today as well. Check it out! 

Are you a strong person? I mean mentally. Are you a strong person? I came across a top 10 list for this, and my top 10 are different. I go through their list as is, but mine turns out way different. How about you?

At this rate they will never leave the nest! (my wife would not mind that at all) A recent survey says that over 70% of kids between the ages of six and seventeen would like the opportunity to be with their parents and siblings to "bond". They will never say that in front of their friends, but they admit it. Do you think it's true? This episode talks about that and the top 10 things they would like to do with "family". 

Live longer. How? Walk! I have been on a couple of good weight loss journey's and after going through my latest program, I have found a common denominator. Walking. Outside. In the heat. In the cold. A bit faster than the normal pace. In this episode, I talk about the walk, and walk the talk. 

You hear the stories every day. Child abductions. Can it happen to your children? It could happen anytime. This is our story of what could have had a bad ending for our youngest daughter Sofia.

Or change of scenery? The choice is YOURS!
