#33 Up For The Challenge
11/01/21 • 47 min
1 Listener
Chris and Deanna talk about their "fancy" candle obsession, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe (which is Deanna's favorite coffee roast), how Chris cracks himself up constantly, and how they discovered a fun new place in downtown St. Louis that sells antiques and records. Then Deanna takes us on a journey to the quaint Swiss Alps town of Zermatt where we meet Neil Heritage, a British Veteran who overcame incredible odds after a devastating war injury. We learn about how his amazing feats of physicality have helped heal his mind, body, and soul - including doing something that no man with his disability has ever done before - and how he is now helping other Veterans to do the same. Be inspired as you listen to how he is always UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.
THE GOOD ALL AROUND US podcast is a celebration of uplifting stories and events from around the world.
Each week, hosts Deanna and Chris Ley will alternate telling stories of good things that have happened to real people all across the globe.
It's time to celebrate THE GOOD ALL AROUND US!
It's time to HAPPY UP YOUR LIFE!

#32 Sold!
Deanna and Chris talk all about their trip to Texas and how much fun they had going to Chip and Joanna's Silos, watching sunrises, hunting javelina-boar-hog-pigs, and how they listened to a serial podcast on the long drive home - You Must Remember This's “Charles Manson’s Hollywood” by Karina Longworth. From there Chris gives us the history of how rummage sales came to be and some fun trivia about them. Then he takes us to the city of Arlington in the Commonwealth of Virginia to introduce us to the amazing Susan Thompson-Gaines. She lives to provide random acts of kindness to her community in a very unique way. Learn about what she does and how all the GOOD she's doing throughout the year is benefitting those around her in a big way every time something is SOLD!

#34 Crash Pads For Kedi
Chris and Deanna chat about how much fun it was to record their "Look Back" Bonus episode for their Patreon Neighbors and how hard it is to be in a bad mood when you search the interwebs for GOOD stories. They also talked all about trick or treating with their "farkly cheerleader" granddaughter, and how Deanna is excited for her 30th reunion this weekend. Then Chris takes us to Istandbul (not Constantinople) to meet Didem Gokgoz, a woman who used her talents and experience to find creative and unique ways to give stray cats a home. She has amazing support from the community, too! Everyone is thrilled that she's developed CRASH PADS FOR KEDI.
