It was the deadliest string of shark attacks the world has ever seen. In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island, way out in the Indian Ocean started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence. The epidemic forced local surfers, politicians, and business owners into a proxy war with ocean lovers and conservationists worldwide, where long simmering tensions boiled over. Réunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise is the story of what happened on this beautiful island, and t ...

Happy New Years! This is a bonus episode. I wasn't sure if I'd release it or not, but why not? I hope it serves to inspire you to dream your own dreams. And better yet, to pursue them so you can make them your reality. Thank you for listening. -Randy I've already introduced you to one woman, Re, my maternal grandmother. The second woman I've not yet talked about, is Nelda, my mother-in-law. Nelda passed away from breast cancer when she was only 42. Rhonda and I were in our first year of marriage so my exposure to Nelda was limited to the few years I dated Rhonda and that single year of our married life. Rhonda was Nelda's firstborn. Five more would follow. At the time of her death, there were still children at home. My perspective of Nelda, while limited, now consists of being the husband to her daughter. I suspect Rhonda has qualities like her mom. For starters, her mother always seemed strong and resilient. Her daughter, my wife, is. Nelda's spiritual fortitude heavily influenced the family. When Rhonda was a little girl Nelda went looking for a spiritual environment in which to raise her children. She found the truth found only in scripture. Had she not done that, I would have never met Rhonda - because we met at church. When I began dreaming about Re's Retreat - I told you about that idea back in this episode. I told Rhonda about it, but I also told her I had her mother in mind and that my ideal outcome would be to also create another space named after her mother, Nelda's Nest. We'd daydream about it. We'd make notes. We'd share ideas - house ideas, decorating ideas. The idea for some short-term rental spaces didn't start with the 2 women who were important in our lives, but they quickly entered the picture for me. And I held to the notion that I only wanted to create awesome, comfortable spaces for couples because that's what I knew. Rhonda and I had experienced a variety of spaces so we had firsthand knowledge of what we liked, what we disliked, what we wish we could find, and more. While we're not qualified to speak for everybody - and certainly our preferences may not be everybody's preferences - we felt like we knew what would work. Namely, what would likely work better! The memories and influences of two important women put pressure on us to get it right. I define wisdom very simply as getting it right in real-time. That's our daily prayer...that we'll make wise decisions. We've always felt the appropriate pressure to get decisions right, but it's more intense now that we're older. I've likened it to landing a plane, the metaphor for achieving our next goals. At our age, the runway is shorter so we have to really hit our mark. There's little room for error. That advice we always gave the kids, "Don't make a mistake from which you can't recover," reverberates. We may not have time to recover so it's urgent and important that we get it right in real-time! The dream began a few years ago as we contemplated turning 65. Not because of retirement, but because that's when you must register for Medicare health insurance coverage (without any penalty - apply for it outside your initial enrollment period and you'll pay more). It's an important mile marker that was fast approaching, but it was just one of many mile markers. Cognitive decline is a fact of life. I read an article published online on the National Library of Medicine website entitled, "When does age-related cognitive decline begin?" I'm not a physician so I wasn't able to understand all of it, but it confirmed some things I already knew to be true from my observations. While I'm 15 years past 50 I still feel like I'm mostly in good shape cognitively. Of course, I could be nuts. How would I know? :D I've seen older men in my life display cognitive decline that was most noticeable to me as they reached 80. To be fair, I've not lived with them so my judgment isn't based on being around them 24/7.
