Two Again Tuesday

Posted on by Wynne Leon

We’ve been having fun making YouTube clips from our fabulous podcast guests. So, we’re republishing some of our best clips.

The first is a great clip from our very own Brian Hannon. Brian tells us of the power of starting early with vacation planning. And we are replaying it here — because now that summer is winding down, we might want to follow Brian’s advice and start planning the next thing. We think Brian probably already has!

And speaking of family vacations – might they be a good time to ask their loved ones to tell their stories? This post includes some questions from me that we might want to get down on paper:

  1. The gentleness and quiet intimacy of your interaction with Miss O on the subject of your quiet and touching last contact with your father is one of those needed interactions that gives me hope for the world. Miss O is an old soul in the body of 9 year old. Thanks, Wynne.

  5. I enjoyed both of these. Two videos I had not seen before.

    I got a kick out of the planning vs. the spur of the moment discussion with Brian. My wife and I tend to both be planners, but like Brian says, this is not across the board with all activities. My wife starts getting nervous when the gas tank gets to 1/4 tank left I, on the other hand, steadfastly will not go into a gas station unless I’m nearly on empty. That drives her crazy. I’m much more of a procrastinator than my wife for most things, though she has had a positive effect on me over the years.

    I really liked Wynne’s answer to the divorce question. Our kids don’t make it easy on us sometimes, but I commend Wynne on her honest and yet sensitive answer. Reminds me of the old saying “the eyes are the window to the soul.” I have told friends “you look good” meaning exactly the way she took her dad’s comment. Don’t you think those kinds of compliments mean more than the physical ones like “I really like your hair?” It’s also speaks to one’s parenting skills when they circle back and make the time to answer their kids’ questions.

    1. Pete – I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this incredibly thoughtful comment. And I’m laughing about Debbie’s positive influence on you (and the gas tank).

      That you have given others the same compliment that my dad gave me doesn’t surprise me. You are such an amazing encourager. And your eyes shine bright. The things that matter in life – not easy to convey to our kids (and grandkids) but worth trying! Thank you, my friend! ❤

  6. I loved both of these. I had recently heard the one with mark and his vacation planning style and so loved the lessons learned and accepted. the one with miss o, and wynne, is so moving and what an honest, organic way to explain all of this, and when she went to sleep that night, she felt a connection to bumpa that she didn’t have before. knowing him in this way, the sharing of his stories, connected to her mama’s and herself, how he would have loved her, is everything.

    1. Beth, you have hit me right in the heart with your comment. You are right about that connection — it is everything! Thank you for listening — and for your incredibly thoughtful comments! ❤
