Welcome To The Neighborhood

Welcome To The Neighborhood: A Mister Rogers Tribute Podcast

I’m your host, Rick Lee James of RickLeeJames.com and I run the Mister Rogers Quotes Twitter account found @MisterRogersSay.

As we again walk into this podcast neighborhood, we want you to know that no matter where you are from, you are welcome here. I’m glad to be your neighbor. Every daughter, every son, every tribe, and every tongue, in the Spirit of Fred Rogers and the life of welcome that he lived, welcome to the neighborhood.

This week in the neighborhood, we’re having a visit with Eliot Daley.

About Our Guest (In His Own Words)

Eliot Daley

www.eliotdaley.com

My life’s work spans multiple causes and enterprises.  Early in my career I taught and counseled at both the high school and college levels, was a chaplain (Middlebury College) and a parish minister, while simultaneously studying the social impact of TV.  Realizing that children’s exposure to the world through TV (not a feature of my own upbringing in the 40s and 50s) would dramatically change their social and emotional and informational environments, I pursued all the available research on the subject and shared what I learned by producing workshops and writing articles on the subject for various national publications.  

As part of my ongoing research into children’s programs, I encountered the then-fledgling production of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” in 1969 and set up a meeting with Fred Rogers to learn more about it and to write an article about his program and work.  We spent a weekend together with our families and realized instantly that we were comrades-in-arms.  Shortly thereafter he asked me if I would consider joining him as his co-writer and executive head of the company, and I eagerly accepted his invitation.  

In the early years, I wrote 15-20 of the 65 programs we produced annually, but my management responsibilities for the ancillary non-broadcast products (books, records, educational materials) eventually displaced my time for writing scripts.  Production of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” was recessed in the late 1970s after nearly 500 episodes, and I went on to undertake other pursuits.  But of course Fred and I remained intimate friends all the rest of our lives and conferred often about matters both the serious and silly.

Later, I founded or co-founded several consulting companies.  The first of these provided counsel to philanthropists, foundations and major corporations like AT&T to optimize their charitable contributions.  Another of my companies developed long-range strategy for health care organizations including Mayo Clinic and Johnson & Johnson.  Later, I was a leader in several medical technology companies, from which pursuits I retired to devote myself to full-time writing.

I maintain a blog (“The Daley Almanac”) and am the author of Father Feelings (William Morrow and Pocketbooks), Sick and Tired of Being Fat (HarperCollins and Hazelden), numerous articles and Op-Eds and letters to the Editor.  I have completed manuscripts for two more books, Taking Your Lumps (a lessons-learned-in-business memoir) and Formerly Called ‘Retirement’ (reflections on the psychological transition to a world beyond the realm of employment).  

I hold the A.B. and M.A. degrees in the social sciences and education, respectively, from California State University at Fresno and the Th.M. degree in theology from San Francisco Theological Seminary (Presbyterian).  I am married to the Rev. Patricia Daley, and we are the parents of three adult children engaged in non-profit pursuits to heal the breaches in creation.  In addition to spending time with my family and other friends, my personal delights include tennis, sailing, golf, travel, theater, music, books, auto racing, fireworks, worship, kite-flying, writing, singing, and daydreaming.

—Eliot Daley

Thank you for joining us here this week in the neighborhood.

I spent a few minutes with my electric guitar recording new intro music for the Welcome To The Neighborhood: A Mister Rogers Tribute Podcast.

I’m really excited about our guest on tomorrow’s show, who was a writer for Mister Rogers Neighborhood so I thought I would try something new with the intro music.

I hope you enjoy my simple guitar arrangement of Won’t You Be My Neighbor? by Fred Rogers.

See you tomorrow in our podcast neighborhood.

Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast)

Episode 502 - It Doesn’t Start with a Punch - Dee Dee Said

From the Author

“February is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and I'm hoping to raise awareness, share the warning signs, and how to help by discussing my journey and how God led me on the road to healing.

As the author of, It Doesn’t Start with a Punch: My Journey through an Abusive Teen Dating Relationship, I share my personal experience to help others understand how easily adolescents can become involved in an abusive relationship, how abuse can start subtly, how to help someone get help and how God healed my deep, emotional wounds.

Teen dating abuse is an important topic we need to bring into the light as awareness can stop the cycle."

* Studies show that 1 in 3 young women in the United States will be in an abusive relationship (verbal, emotional, physical, and/or sexual) at some point between the ages of 16 and 24.

* Emotional and verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical and sexual abuse. All forms of abuse have short-term and long-term effects.

* Most adults (81% of parents in one study) don’t believe or don’t know if teen dating violence is an issue.

I wrote the book to help parents, teachers and school counselors, abuse victims, and anyone who cares for teens learn:

* The protective factors that shield youth from becoming involved with or staying with an abuser

* Signs of an unhealthy romantic relationship

* Reasons teenagers may stay in one, from peer pressure and shame to the misguided belief that their abusers are going to change

* How to help a tween or teenager get out of an unhealthy or abusive relationship”

Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast)

Episode 501 - Seeking Balance with Caitlyn Scaggs

Lifestyle Blogger and TV Personality Issues Clarion Call for Christian Women Seeking Balance Between Career and Family

Orlando, Fla.– Work, home, and family. Can Christian Women really do it all? Leadership lifestyle blogger and media personality, Caitlyn Scaggs has good news for readers: You don’t have to lose yourself when faced with the pressure to choose between what appears to be mutually exclusive options.

Instead, she champions a new approach―how to find balance between seemingly opposing forces and live out what you were created to do. In her book, Worth It And Wonderful: Inspiration for Christian Women To Live Bravely and Boldly. Scaggs addresses the real pressures, both internal and external, that Christian women face when it comes to making choices between family or personal aspirations.

Filled with practical steps and insights, Scaggs provides women with a blueprint on how to thrive no matter where their path takes them. With her unique and powerful guiding voice, she helps women fully embrace who God calls them to be including:

1.        How to overcome the challenges of balancing work, life, and family

2.        The importance of living strategically and spontaneously

3.        How mental, physical, and soul self-care honors God

4.        Why happiness is a temporary state of being and the key to finding lasting joy regardless of the life season

“It’s up to you to own and embrace the wonderful complexities of who God made you to be. Remember, you are a masterpiece,” writes Scaggs. “Fall in love with the idea of seeing your life as a beautiful mosaic, lovingly and intentionally crafted. It honors the masterpiece composed of disparate experiences, pain, tears, laughter, and victory all brought together to make something meaningful.”

Filled with motivational callouts, practical takeaways, and actionable steps Worth it and Wonderful invites readers to apply the insight shared to their own lives. “Remember, nothing of significance is easy or comes quickly,” declares Scaggs. “This type of work can challenge deep-rooted beliefs—some of which you may realize are lies that took root a long time ago, but as your identity and purpose become rooted in who God says you are, I’m trusting that all areas of your life will start to transform with vibrancy..
