Love Letters Live Co-founder Tresa Eyres was that little girl who averted her gaze at every offer of a handshake. Reverend Eucker was not daunted by this at all. He offered and offered until one day she took his hand. What he got for his patience was Tresa’s lifelong devotion, admiration and friendship. Tresa is a fan of being nothing less than significant in any declaration, so when she heard that her friend Lloyd Eucker himself asked that she speak at his funeral, she knew she was given a serious mission to portray this man who had such an impact on her life. How to do it? To hear her talk about how she approached this sad goodbye is a valuable lesson. And, learning about the Reverend Llloyd Eucker is a treat in itself.

His bedtime stories were the plots of classical operas, perfect short stories with endless adventure and visual excitement. So, it is no surprise that he has made a life in opera and Broadway musicals. He is presenting a celebration of Broadway on May 5th, 2013, starring Kimilee Bryant to take place at the Marin County JCC. Everything James does is uncommonly wonderful. To hear James talk about his life is an adventure itself where love, humility, high comedy and classical music intersect.

A re-run. I figure if tv can do it, so can I. Baseball Mary as some of you may know from Love Letters Live or from seeing her at the games, that she is a passionate SF Giants fan. Not just a fan but a philanthropist who is focused on and succeeds at making the world better. She is smart, serious, enthusiastic and fun. To listen to her tell her story is a treat. So, if you missed it last time, you have another chance here. And, if you did hear it, you may want to start the season hearing it again. Knowing Baseball Mary is like having some inside privilege, like being more a part of the game through her. Her love of the team is totally contagious.

This one, Birds of Paradise Lost, is fiction, although it is so heart-reaching and detailed in it is in its portrayal of Vietnamese people who have had to make new lives in America that I originally thought it was a collection of real biographies. His skill and talent are such that even his fiction drew me into a world of reality. Andrew is so emotionally generous in his writing, such an exuberant part of a modern world in the way he lives, and has a way of making others feel graceful in his presence that his success is no surprise. To hear him talk about his life and his transition from Vietnamese child to American adult is a lesson in joyous possibilities.

You can see delightful surprises everywhere she has set her hand, mind and heart to work. Her inspirations are as original as her interpretations. And, she is not satisfied to remain enmeshed in only one plane of communication. Annie has done something that took me by such surprise that I asked her to talk about it on Love Letters Live. She has created an interactive love letter to Washington D.C. Annie brings to mind and practical action how place, time and history combine to shape the positive best expressed in a love letter. You may want to take part in it. When I listened to Annie talk about this wonderful project, I felt that the very tone of her voice holds a world of affection.

Not just safe, but productive; at the site of each land mine removed, a grapevine is planted in its place. To listen to this beautiful woman, who has the face of an angel and the heart of a lion, talk about her own journey past personal land mines is to take a look into the exceptional bravery, faith and spirit that is the basis for her success in this bold mission she has personally assigned herself.

Jonathan Brower , psychotherapist and host of his own internet radio show called Human Behavior, What a Trip, recently joined me on Love Letters Live with sweet memories of so much in his younger life, and he is planning a very important love letter to his father. This is particularly joyful for me since his father is my father. Yes, Jon is my brother and some of his memories are mine, too.

Listen to Ann talk about more of what she does in her life as a handwriting analyst. Is it possible to disguise your intentions by disguising your handwriting? Why might it be a good idea to have an analysis of your handwriting and your sweetheart’s before you walk down the aisle? Are you doomed if your personalities are at odds? Well, of course not, but isn’t it nice to know the secrets hidden in the sentences he writes to you or you to him? I think so. In any case, Ann is endlessly fascinating.

I never saw him again. I kept track more or less where he was but never knew how he was. As much as I wanted to find him, I felt it might be intrusive so let the days, months and years pass. Then, I couldn’t let it go any longer, and one thing leading to another, I realized my best chance. Facebook! And, yes, there he was. I “friended” him with a message, we got to the telephone and talked like no time had passed since a visit when he was maybe 7, over 40 yeas ago. He and my children, who would have been raised as brother and sisters had his mother lived, became facebook friends. I met his teen-age children on Skype. He recently came to visit, and as the doorbell rang, my heart skipped its next ten beats. I opened the door to the most heartrending sight I could hope for. Right there was an exquisite smiling blue-eyed man who was once the exquisite bereft blue-eyed child. And right next to him was his beautiful wife. And, he is happy. Paul is now a psychology teacher, a volleyball coach, a husband, a father, smart, interesting and emotionally generous. Listen to Paul to see how maturity, inner light, and love transform loss into strength and memories.

One career or persona has smoothly morphed into the next and he is hardly done. He has plans that include his 150th birthday party with, if, alas, not current friends, new ones. From broadcasting to comedy writing for some of the greats to a best selling book to a 12 year prison term for a very odd offense and now standup comedy, this is a man whose story is so worth hearing right now. No wonder he is endlessly quoted. And, for the in person version, you can see him Tuesday November 13th at the Marsh Berkeley.

I think there is more to it on all counts. She is surely an entertainer but does so much under the title of “entertainer” that you have to hear it to know how far reaching it is. She is a working comedienne, writes her own material, plays the piano, sings, acts, produces her recordings and videos, coaches acting, is a wife, and is a the mother of two sons. To listen to Lauren talk about her life, her work, her father, her mother and her two boys is a joy. My hat’s off to her for holding up nice high and respectful expectations she has of her two sons. Raising boys is a serious business that might be done best with a good sense of comedy especially in the areas of etiquette and sex in today’s world.

She approaches this with the same elegance, fun and mastery as she does her life in chocolate. In her own view the urbane grandmother is the “Auntie Mame of the 21st century”. Because Karletta treasures her own vivid childhood memories of growing up in the glow of the San Francisco area, she wants to help others build them, too.

Do we shove the stress down as best we can and ignore the symptoms that are begging us to slow down?  Do we need to travel great distances to find quiet? Do we need years of training to find the inner quiet we need. Well, the short answer is no, no and no.

To hear Al talk about his life as a performer is engrossing. His complicated personal and professional relationship with Doc Watson is historically relevant and personally touching. Always a treat to get behind the scenes information. The love letter? Not yet clear who will get one since the options are complex.

It was enlightening to hear her talk about the fine lines between teasing and bullying, and I was particularly touched by her nonjudgmental approach. To hear her talk about this devastating issue gives hope that it may someday be diminished as children and adults find other ways to express their own angers. And, how perfectly the issue of love letters fits in here.

Today we focus on Jeremi as a dating coach with clear, encouraging and over-the-top sensible advice that once heard will strike you as so sane that you might well wonder why you didn’t think of it yourself. Oh, well, that is, after all, the point of having a skilled coach who can bring you to your best and most comfortably appealing self, right? In line with presenting yourself honestly to the online dating world, it was a natural to hear Jeremi start to write a love letter to himself. Practice in affirming one’s self is skill worth developing for so many reasons, not the least of which is so you will be comfortable with your fabulous side and wear it well. I am wondering if my love letter to Jeremi got to him before his did. I must say I find the very sound of his joyful voice a promise of success. Do yourself a favor and listen to him talk about what you should know before you even sign up for dating.
