Graceful Living: Facing Life Challenges - New Radio Program

Graceful Living: Facing Life Challenges is the name of my new radio program which airs on Sunday afternoons from 4-5 Central time on KTOK AM 1000 in Oklahoma City. My co-host is Eileen Ravella, a physician's assistant practicing family medicine and an expert in end of life care. We talk about the big and little things in life that teach us to stretch and grow into more of who we are when we choose to face and embrace them rather than allowing ourselves to feel victimized and defeated by them.

Though you can't hear the program on the radio unless you are in the Oklahoma City listening area, you can tune in live by going to www.KTOK.com and clicking on Listen Live while the program is on the air. If you can't listen at that time, you can go to our program web site, www.gracefullivingradio.com and click on the audio button to take you to the programs that are archived there. On the web audio, you are spared the commercials but you can't call in. Listening live on the web, you can participate should you choose to do so. You'll also find our scheduled topics for the next few weeks on the web site.

This week we'll focus on Verbal Abuse and how to deal with it. I hope you'll check us out. It's so much fun for me to have this wonderful opportunity to do something I really enjoy doing. I feel really blessed that this opportunity has opened for me.

I also have a new book coming out soon. It's called The Heart of Healing: Facing Cancer and Other Life Threatening Illnesses. I'll keep you posted on that.

In the meantime, I appreciate your support and any help you can give in telling people about this program. Our first session dealt with hope and how vital it is to coping with tough challenges. Last week, we interviewed a couple - actually Eileen's brother and his wife. She has metatastic breast cancer. We talked with them about how they are facing her illness in the context of their faith and their love for each other.

Please tune in on Sunday and give us a call with your questions or comments. Or listen at your leisure via www.gracefullivingradio.com. We are sponsored by Good Shepherd Hospice and are very grateful to this enlightened and caring company for their support in bringing this program to you.
