Talking to my dad about getting old.. and how to talk to each other about a lot of things.
Welcome to another episode of Random Acts of Living! We are winding down our first season ( woo-hoo and amazing! ) I recorded several episodes with my dad when he was in the hospital and this is one. IT occurred to me that we really do not have a very good conversation on the caretaking of the elderly in the US and as it is fast approaching that I will be taking care of my parents and that they will need some type of support from their family I decided to take advantage of my dad sitting in the hospital.. I think my dad is pretty funny, but that could just be me and the more I talk to him the more I see how alike we are.. I hope you find some nuggets of truth, gentle listener, from his lips to our ears may we become a more compassionate society and figure out how to take care of all of us in kind and wholistic ways!Happy Sunday!
From The Podcast
Random Acts of Living
Host Emillia Noordhoek shares deeply personal, heartbreakingly poignant true stories about surviving personal loss and transforming trauma into “Random Acts of Living” a call to action to get her through some of her most challenging moments. Recounting an unusual childhood full of weird, wonderful and truly funny moments to loss and redemption as a very imperfect single mother, artist, partner and community activist, she explores the stories that appear in our lives in big and small ways, teaching us the joy of living and learning from day dreaming, singing out loud, being mischievous, to more serious endeavors such as art and music (both making and experiencing) community organizing, saving our democracy, social justice and climate change. We are all in this together and the stories that we tell and share with each other give us valuable insight into the state of our lives, both the public and private, because what seems random is really anything but! Emillia Noordhoek is a social entrepreneur, mentor, and artist having lived the last 13 years on the small island of Molokai, Hawaii. She is a co-founder of both Sust`aina ble Molokai and the Molokai Arts Center and currently finds herself in the Midwest in the middle of the global pandemic and personal crisis. Emillia has been deeply influenced by Native Hawaiian leaders through the Aloha `Aina movement integrating the values she was taught into her daily life. She seeks to find value and significance in the stories that shape our world and define us as members of this human race on the blue marble spinning in our universe. Join her every week for a unique take on living, breathing, and exploring our humanity through Random Acts of Living!Join Podchaser to...
