Comments for WHO I MET TODAY

Comment on About Me by Sharmen Oswald

Hi Pamela,
I’ve subscribed to your blog for about two years. Over that time, I have enjoyed reading your guests’ stories and how they do life. I love reading the stories of perserverance. My life recently took a complete turn-around when my contract to come back to the school that I called home for thirty-one years was not renewed. I have been in education for a total of forty-three years. I began to think of a way to reinvent myself, make myself marketable. I doubted my worth, but persevered and now have a job with the school district. I have learned new skills, made new contacts and ventured into unknown territory. While our son was finishing up his degree at the Citadel, his girlfriend lived with us to help with her commute to her job at MUSC Cardiact Rehab Center. We lived closer than her parents, making her commute 40 minutes instead of two hours. Seven months after our son graduated, she called off the relationship just as he was ready to propose. I never expected to experience grief over the loss of our relationship with her, but I especially have. She was as close to a daughter as I could have imagined, and having her in our home reminded me and my husband of having our own daughter at home, who is now grown and married. I say all of this to show that life is unpredictable, but we have to just take that first step into unknown territory when we are hit with change. I still miss our son’s ex-girlfriend (that’s really hard to write) and the teachers and students at my old school. Our son, our last fledgling, will leave our home soon, which brings another change and possibly grief. If I have learned anything, I guess it would be that grief is a normal part of living. Some people do grief well, and others not so well. One way that I have healed in this unsettled life and world, is to write poetry and short stories based on family stories and on what I may be going through at the time. Words can heal. Your blog and your book, that I just ordered, help in many ways to deal with change by showing how you do life. Thank you for your words. Thank you for authenticity. Sharmen

Great podcast! I’ve been practicing yoga for a few years and learned a few new things today. What a lively reminder that yoga is a bridge between physical and mental wellness, stillness and resilience.

Comment on Marty Pavelich – Hockey Player by David Peppler

Great reading about Marty. It was actually “Mr. Pavelich” to me. I lived down the street in Detroit in the 50″s and 60’s and mowed lawns to earn a few dollars in high school. He always had me cross cut his lawn so it was groomed like a putting green. He was always kind and when i went off to college i worked the mid-night shift a few summers at his plastics factory. Working that shift helped motivate me to graduate :). Anyway it was good to read and get caught up on him and be reminded of his kindness.

In reply to Gerry. If it's closed, it's impossible to find, sadly. It blends right into the staircase. If it's open, it's along the main staircase.

When I was around 20 (1990 ish) my friend and I had the chance to ski with Marty at Boyne mountain in Michigan. He was an awesome skier. We thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to get to know him. He was an incredibly humble person considering all of his accomplishments. He hasn’t changed much in 30 years!

Marty and Ted worked for me as Sales Reps after we bought L&P from them in the 1980’s until he retired and moved to Montana. Marty was a class act, a true professional with always a good word to say, no matter what was going on. I’m glad to see that he still skis, it gives me something to shoot for! Ted was tough as nails on the outside and a kind and generous soul on the inside, I spent many Wings games sitting next to him getting and getting lessons you could never get watching YouTube. They don’t make many like Ted and Marty anymore and I miss them both.

Marty worked for me as ourSsales Rep after we bought L&P Plastics from him and Ted in the 1980’s. Everything you see and he said are true. Marty was always the ultimate professional and always a gentleman with good things to say about everyone and Ted was tough as nails on the outside, but a kind and generous man on the inside. I miss them both. Glad to hear Marty is still skiing, gives me something to shoot for!

That is amazing to listen to, I must say. Thank you, Dr Ravi Goel. For those who have cataracts, listening to this audio is crucial if they want to know what to do both before and after surgery.
