Are you still counting calories? It’s holiday time and there should be no calories during the holidays. Or are you making lists of the things that you don’t have any more, including your loved one?
Handling the holidays is not deciding how to eliminate the fat, the pain, the memories from our lives, but rather, learning how to count our blessings instead of listing our losses.
Join me this week as we visit some friends who will share their blessings with us. It is truly the GIFT OF REMEMBERED LOVE.

It only takes a moment for it all to be gone. A phone call, a knock on the door, a text, a few words and our world can come crashing down around us. What do you do when grief comes calling?
Kris Munsch, of Hays, Kansas, builds and renovates things: houses, businesses, stores, things. No matter how run down or dilapidated it was, he saw potential. A professional craftsman and woodworker, there was never a project too big for Kris. He was a master “fixer of things” but he couldn’t figure out how to fix his life after the death of his son.
Because he didn’t know what else to do, Kris decided to try to rebuild his life just as he had renovated so many collapsed houses. He created The Birdhouse Project as a way of bringing hope and healing to those challenged by change. He is the author of The Birdhouse Project: Collaboration of the Heart, Mind and Hands. Come meet Kris and learn about The Birdhouse Project. You can find information about the project at www.thebirdhouseproiect.com.

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE
A universal child’s prayer, meant to give comfort, it may, instead, inspire FEAR. Although many parents refuse to give voice to a child’s fears and concerns about death, they sponsor the utterance of these few words each night. Is this our only introduction to Death? For many children, it is the sum total of a family’s communications about death, loss and grief. While adults have a difficult time talking about death and grief, talking with kids about this is even harder! Join us as we talk to Alicia S. Franklin, a bereaved sibling, nationally known authority on children and grief, and the author of the award winning book, Am I Still A Sister? We’ll explore ways children express their grief and some tips on how to talk with them about this tough topic.

I’ve decided to spend January in my basement. After all, basements are often dark and gloomy (suits my mood), in need of organization (describes my life perfectly) and could use a good cleaning (similar to shaking the cobwebs out of my brain.)
January is a let down from the hustle and bustle of the Holidays. It is a month to “get through.” January is a month to SURVIVE. It’s sometimes a depressing month, just like grief is sometimes depressing. But how do we know when it being “down” is OK and heading towards being “really down” or depressed isn’t ok? Today we’re going to ask one of our favorite regular guests, Dr. Bob Baugher, a psychology professor at Highline Community College in Des Moines, WA that question. Dr. Bob’s books can be found at The Grief Store at www.griefstore.com or by contacting Bob directly at [email protected].
We’re going to talk about surviving the post holiday letdown, depression and grief and maybe even talk a little bit about some new year’s resolutions.

I’ve always wondered why the new year begins buried in snow, frozen in ice or blanketed in mud. It always seems harder to begin when my feet are encased in leaden boots or stuck in frozen mud. Wouldn’t it be easier to begin a new journey if the weather were warmer and my feet were strapped into sandals or even bare? The beginning of the new year is a time for me to take stock, to rearrange and reorganize.
And I thought it might be nice to check back in with my very first guest: Alan Pedersen. Let’s see how Alan is doing and what he has learned over the fleeting months of 2013. And let’s review a few things that we have learned over the year together, too. You can find out more about Alan and his music at www.everashleymusic.com; [email protected]; or www.angelsacrosstheusa.com.
