Life Through a Dram Episode 8: Look at the Stars

Often in life, we feel we need something around us to make us feel special, and wanted. Family; love; success; and all that comes with it.

And, yes, family makes us complete, as does love. And, if that’s a metric, self-value can also come from success (based on our perception of what success means).

But, as I found out this evening, when these things aren’t around us, we don’t necessarily need to feel less significant. Instead, we can truly see what it means to be valuable…

Life Through a Dram Episode 7: Being Around as an Older Dad

Recently, I had a little bit of a health scare when I went for a check-up at my doctor’s. I’ll be 50 later this year, so I wanted to see how I was doing as I approach that milestone. And it wasn’t good.

Since then, I’ve taken steps to improve my lifestyle, habits, and more. As a dad to two young kids, I realized I wasn’t being fair to them, as I put myself and my own “entertainment” ahead of their right to have a dad grow with them.

In this episode, I talk about that realization, and how we all need to take more responsibility when it comes to those around us, and the role we play in their lives.

Life Through a Dram Episode 6: You Only Have Two Shoulders

Often, it feels like we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders.

Family stuff. Personal struggles. Work. The world. Kids, and helping them find their way in the world.

All this and more can start to weigh heavily on us and, if we’re not careful, can overcome and overpower, until we’re lying on the ground, breathing heavily, wondering what we do next and not having a clear answer.

This week’s topic on the Life Through a Dram podcast.

Life Through a Dram Episode 5: Belief is Half of All Healing

There are many beliefs in the world – religious, spiritual and more. But what if we believed in the one thing that we can all agree on – the belief in humanity?

This is a topic that’s near and dear to me, as I talked about a bit in my last post on here. In the latest episode of Life Through a Dram, I dive into this a little bit deeper.

Life Through a Dram Episode 4: We All Need Someone

This week my wife was rushed to the local ER after waking up at 4.00am with severe chest pains and breathing difficulties.

She had a bunch of tests – ECGs, scans, etc. – but nothing was really detected. The cardiologist thought it might be a heart murmur, but there’s no history of that so that was ignored.

Thankfully, she’s home now, but has to follow up to make sure everything’s okay.

When I posted an update on Facebook, the reaction from both physical friends and digital ones reminded me why the world is better when we have someone in it with us, as I share in this episode.
