Daily Gratitude: Today is my 100th hotline (Talking With Dr Terrie) message. This is the daily call where people listen to a message from me and then can leave a response. You can also find it on YouTube and Spotify/Apple Podcasts or listen to previous calls at https://TalkingWithDrTerrie.com. The best part about calling and listening on your phone is that you can actually talk to me, not just write a comment. I listen to all the responses and summarize the audience’s comments at the end of the week. It’s been a lot of fun and it’s been hard and time consuming. The folks who have been faithful since the beginning have heard me chatter for 5 hours now. They’ve learned a lot of info in bite size pieces. I hope they have learned enough to make it worth their while. Some loyal Team Terrie members have joined in but I only really know the ones that leave comments. So maybe there are more. Anyway, I have learned more than I have taught and I am grateful for it. I have also realized how vital the practice of IFS (internal family systems) has been and will continue to be in my life. In the interest of brevity (relatively speaking) I will say that the absolute best thing that has happened is the development of an amazing friendship with a guy who has become the love of my life (life in general, not the romantic kind. I am 76 years old after all). His friendship is something that I will value forever and what he does is make me laugh and make me think. When you put those two activities together, there isn’t anything you can’t do. That, alone, has made all this worth it. Listen in – it’s just 3 minutes. 210-390-6100
