Eppy 146: ReciMe Please Rescue Me!

Hello! Hello! Jean is in Florida. The sun, the pools, the lounge chairs- let's talk about Self-Love! Is self-love important? God's love is limitless. Why do we struggle to love ourselves? Let's check in with Laura. She's discovered how to love herself with Mint Syrup and coffee. Hopefully this new concoction helps with her BBJ- "Boomer Brain Jumbles". Plus, it's time for her OH to figure out Medicare. So the sisters wonder, "What exactly is 'Self-Love'?" Is it practicing Marie Komodo's "Spark Joy"? What about watching sports with friends and family? Or a daily Yoga practice? Dry Brushing? Caring for plants? How about trying new activities- like water skiing? Or kayaking?Can we develop "Resilience" by taking care of ourselves? Turns out "Hugs" may be the best way to increase our love for others and ourselves! Happy Hugs from the OK Boomers!

February, and the Sibbleberries are looking forward to a month of LOVE! Should we talk about Loving God, Loving Others, Loving Ourselves? We decide to focus on loving others. But first, we have a convo about interesting things that have happened since we last chatted: the "Silver Wave" and new popularity of models over 65! Laura updates us on her Wean 2 Lean promise. No more "Grab n'Go"for her. Laura and her family solve the mysteries of lost packages! So how do we love others? Jean shares a story that harkens back to Christmas. A family fleeing from home to a strange country, a baby born to two young people, a young person who helps them- here's the link https://medina-gazette.com/news/332977/medina-police-officer-delivers-baby-in-front-foyer-of-home/ Are you a loving "Kin-Keeper" like Laura? Do you and your spouse show love through your small, everyday actions? How can we encourage the younger generations? Did you know there's a new, positive app called Gas? "Drip Unmatched" https://cybernews.com/privacy/gas-app-overtakes-tiktok/ Have you seen the new statue, "The Embrace" in honor of Martin Luther King? He is a man who truly showed love to others. https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/01/16/the-embrace-martin-luther-king-jr-boston-memorial-causes-a-stir/ Laura shares the joy of a piano with another family.
