Heather Christie – LoveNotes!

Heather Christie – LoveNotes!

by | Dec 13, 2024 | , , | 0 |

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother’s Son podcast, I talk with Heather Christie.

Heather is a fellow Berks County native and author.  She is the author of three books, so far.  Additionally, she is the producer of the storytelling show, LoveNotes!, which is True stories of first love, last love, & all the love in between.

LoveNotes! is a storytelling show, a book, and a podcast in which real people share real stories about romantic love in all its incarnations. So, tell the poets, lovers, dreamers and anybody else who’s ever been in love that I’m looking for TRUE LOVE stories–from heartbreaking to heartwarming. Any story about romantic love in any of its incarnations fits the bill. A LoveNotes! story is the kind of yarn in which Cupid has shot someone in the heart and that person has lived to tell the tale.

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I read Chapter 19 from The Journey of My Mother’s Son, Volume I, Many Random Thoughts from the Road.

I stopped recording interviews back in May because of our Canada and Alaska trip.  Knowing that we would be in areas with little to internet, I had created a backlog of episodes to be released through the end of July.

Until I start interviews again, I will be releasing several monologues as well as episodes of just Sandy and I.

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, Sandy and I talk about our trip up the Oregon Coast, into Washington, and eventually across the border into Canada.

After almost two years in the making, we were excited to meet our friends and grandson, Alex in Great Falls, Montana to start our 3-1/2-month journey throughout Canada and Alaska.  Even though we had only been in Canada for a little over two weeks when we recorded this episode, we have already seen so many amazing things and made incredible memories.

Dan and Sandy – Three Becomes Two

This was probably the most difficult podcast that I ever had to record.

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, Sandy and I talk about our travels through California and the loss of our best travel companion, Youk.

The end of April was very difficult for us and we’re still working through the grief process.  Youk crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 24, 2024.  It was certainly the most difficult thing that we’ve had to deal with since we’ve been traveling.  Youk brought joy to such a large part of lives.  We literally planned our life around his schedule and well-being.  In return, he gave us unconditional love and countless memories that will last the rest of lives.

He was a larger-than-life personality who impacted the world in ways we never could have imagined.  Countless people from all over the world have reached out to us since his passing to let us know how much they loved our best-selling author pup.

In addition to Youk, we talk about our travels through several national parks in California (Joshua Tree, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Yosemite, and The Redwoods), our project at the Southern California Railway Museum, our night under the Golden Gate Bridge, our Pacific Coast Highway Adventure, and of course, reconnecting with friends.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday to Me!

by | Mar 28, 2024 | , | 1 |

Always try to make people smile and feel happy. You never know what they may be going through.
Don’t bite when a bark will do.
Always make time to take a walk, and get into nature.
Anytime is a good time for a nap.
You’ll get more treats when you’re nice.
Take time to smell the roses, as well as anything else that you can smell.
Always make time to play.
Be grateful.
Live in the moment.
Enjoy the journey.
