In this episode, I talk with my friend Dan Becker about his early life with chronic illness, the many operations he had, his revelations and "Ah-Ha" moments, and his desire to help others needing a transplant.

In the last installment of The Heart Odyssey, I talk about the last few weeks in the hospital, some more complications before leaving, and the joyous trip back home.

In Part three of The Heart Odyssey, I talk about a life and death first complication and the many complications that came after that kept me in the hospital for an extended time.

In this second installment of The Heart Odyssey, I talk about the time I woke up from the transplant to adjusting to unnatural circumstances, to the time I finally got home from the hospital for the first time.  

This is the first in four podcasts about my heart damage, transplant waiting list, highs and lows toward transplant, and to the time I shut my eyes on the table for the 1st time.  I originally wrote a 58-page biography about this part of my life but thought I would record it in four parts for those who might be interested.  Part one is the story of how I found out my heart was failing, the first visit to the hospital, and setting the stage for the long wait.

In this episode, I talk about three encounters that were unexplainable, kind and loving, and shared.  Perhaps they were angels, all three.

How do we become better at loving others?  Loving ourselves?  In this episode I explore what it means to be a better lover.

Empathy is a term very popular today, but what does it mean?  How does it work?  Who are empaths and intuitives and how do they see and experience the world?

In this episode, I cover everything from a love safari to being comfort in fear, embodied love shared in sickness, and the role of the body in which we find embodied love.

Sometimes High School is a fairy tale, and other times a horror story.   My story is somewhat in-between.  In this episode of "Life and the Living of It," I talk about High School, which included a ruptured disc, destroyed bone, and drama class.
