CC and Val continue their reflections on the ripple effects of the recent US election - and then suddenly veer to UFOs and aliens...say wha-a-t?? The fact is that we are surrounded by uncertainty and seek safety and structure during tumultuous times. And many are still struggling with pandemic PTSD, not to mention mask guilt. Val finishes with a particularly good news story, so all is not doom and gloom.

CC and Val share their responses to the results of the U.S. Presidential election. Val gets real, and unexpectedly emotional as she shares her opinion, and CC offers a perspective that might help lift the disappointment: perhaps this is the chrysalis stage in our evolution...? But they still found some funny this week, a pleasant surprise in the face of so much angst.

CC and Val trade notes on the books that have impacted them the most over the course of their lives. The ones that altered the way they view themselves, the world and how they fit into it. WE limited to 4 books each, though we could have kept going. Words: They matter.

CC and Val talk about Halloween this week. Well, Val does most of the talking as she is a witch (a good one) and shares some interesting facts about the origins of what we now celebrate with "trick or treat' and all things spooky. And then she mentions entities, different from demons, and off we go! (Apologies for CC's mike - we fixed it for next week's episode.)

CC and Val continue the discussion on human consciousness as measured on a frequency scale developed by Dr. David R. Hawkins. His seminal book, Power vs. Force, lays the groundwork for our new understanding of how people can rise above discomfiting feelings and situations. And CC shares a family feel-good moment.

CC and Val discuss the public fascination with "clicks" on social media and their own experience with the dopamine "hits" provided by posts that took off last week. This prompted a discussion about the reasons why they decided to start podcasting in the first place, and why they're also now videotaping their weekly podcast. And CC gets unexpectedly emotional. It happens.

Wherein in CC and Val talk the underbelly of human nature and the systemic abuse issues which exist in almost any industry, not just music and entertainment. It's about power and control. And money. And it ain't a new story - simply a continuation of a very old one. Join us on Oct 1 for this, our first video podcast recording, at: https://youtu.be/C5yZKff9Rt4

Wherein CC and Val talk (again) about our human tendency to take a future worry and wrap it up in even worse scenarios. Wayne Dyer labeled it "awfulizing". "And if this happens, then that might happen, and then..." We're all guilty of this. But why? Why do we do it?

Wherein CC and Val discuss the value of grounding and its association with the root chakra: what it is, what it means, what it does, and how it benefits us. Along the way there are detours, as usual, like what Val's mini-me looks like. And our need for, attraction to, and connection with trees and the soil itself. It's all connected.

Wherein CC and Val talk aging, the pluses and minuses, the good, the bad and the ugly. From wrinkles, to dribbles, to hard-earned wisdom, it may not be a pretty journey -- but it can be a beautiful one. At least, that's what we're told. If we stay present.

Wherein CC and Val ruminate on the first forty episodes of Loose Ends and share some of our favourite moments - the ones that made us laugh the hardest or struck home or provoked tears. On this Labour Day, join us for some insights and belly laughs as we say farewell to summer.

Wherein CC and Val banter about words and phrases and their origins. From contronyms like "bolt" and "cleave" to idioms we toss about idly, such as "tying the knot" or "beating around the bush" or "giving a cold shoulder", if you like to laugh while you learn, enjoy this episode. We sure did.

Wherein CC and Val try to recreate our previous episode on enthusiasm that CC screwed up. This one turned out different. What with a full moon, a superman at that, as well as the first night of the DNC in the States and the enthusiasm around Kamala Harris, we get quite philosophical about the notion of enthusiasm -- we had stuff to say! As did Kali, who joined the discussion. We got excited. Blame the moon.

Wherein CC shares a spoken word poem entitled How Deep is Today? which she published in 2017. We provide all sorts of transition time for children headed to bed--bath, books, quiet time--but for us adults? Not so much. So, CC wrote a bed-time story for adults about trust and courage. Hope you enjoy! (And an apology: we totally screwed up last week - will re-do our thoughts on "enthusiasm" and post soon. Thanks for your understanding :)

Wherein CC and Val talk food: its importance on a physical level, to be sure, but what about our emotions, our mind, our spirit? What does it mean to "eat healthy" and how does that affect our mood, our energy/frequency level? Val shares her own journey from chronic digestive issues to a clearer gut and calmer energy. A veritable fountain of knowledge, she is. Tune in for a wide-ranging and informative discussion this week.

Wherein CC and Val discuss the six "bodies of speech" or "speech acts." CC offers an acronym to help remember them, as well as the origin of most communication disagreements: making assertions when they're really assessments. Stating opinions as facts mucks things up. If we want better relationships then improving quality communication becomes key.

Wherein CC and Val discuss their reactions to, and reflections on the import of, the assassination attempt over the weekend on the former President of the United States. We've tried to stay away from politics and conspiracy theories and all things Trump, but this event marks a turning point and we felt compelled to respond to it.

Wherein CC and Val discuss our comfort zones--because we all have many--where they come from and how they either protect us or prevent us from moving forward. Like a dog's electric collar, our "buried wires" delineate what's safe from what's not, at least as children. As adults, maybe it's time to dig up some of those electric boundary wires and set ourselves free.

Wherein CC and Val take refuge from the heat dome and talk summer food, global warming, and the recent suggested warning for smart phone apps. They meander all the way to suggestions for staying cool as well as summer reading thoughts before veering into a flourishing finish with a spontaneous (and questionable) version of the Canadian national anthem in honour of their Independence Day. We tried. Blame the heat. It's all the heat's fault.
