Wow you’re such a great story writer Mom!

Hi Eric and Emily Great subject that really got me thinking about our past Christmas trees. This year we broke down and purchased our first fake tree. I don't know about tree prices in you area but here in southern California $ 200-250 for a 7' tree forced our decision. But our first was the best tree ever. While stationed in wuertzburg germany it was our first Christmas together. We lived off post in a little berg outside of town named eisengen. Having no car this posed a logistics problem on transporting our tree from the PX to our little 1 bedroom duplex 10 miles to eisengen. We convinced our taxi driver to strap the tree on top of his cab to make the trip home. Of course we tipped him well. That night setting up the tree and decorating it is one of our great life memories.we decorated with ornaments we bought from open markets in town sent to us by family and gifted to us by friends we had made while in country. 40 years later some of those ornaments still survive and are on our tree right now. It always brings back memories of those times how carefree and uncompleted life was back then. We didn't need anything but each other, that hasn't changed.

I thought I would let you know, while we were in France and Germany, we found that we could buy a phone chip for our phone for around $30 euros. This was much cheaper than paying for an international plan on our phone service. It included calls, texts and data for a month. It worked well for us.

Spent 2 years in Toronto on a mish, bagged milk was always weird.

Your hair looks great Dad!

Great content!

Terrie and I have seven grandchildren. One just started college this year. It's lots "o" fun sometimes heartbreaking. Going to ball games, chior, camping, and so much more. We have taken 5 of our grandkids on a 2 week tour of the southwest it was great. With your awesome attitude, you're going to be great grandparents.

Lol this lady is such a crook.. go look at some of her conflicts of interest issues with developing farm land in New Plymouth... 🙄🙄🙄

The risk of not going. I like that.

You guys touch my heart.

I’ve experienced the disappointment of boat motions knocking over my pieces

Thanks for the shoutout! Love you guys!

This episode was so good! It makes me want to build small habits that take me towards my scary goals. I love the “if I can do that, what else can I do?” Absolutely phenomenal!

This episode was uplifting, enlightening, and makes me want to pursue my dreams! It’s not about what you achieve. It’s about what you become. So good!

I have struggled with my in-laws over holiday culture, I was expected to show up at all family functions with no concern of our own needs and if I wasn't able to show up due to needs at that season that was difficult, I was seeing as a bad daughter in-law or taking their Son away etc. Was never communicating if I tried to communicate to explain I was seeing as disrespectful. In-laws can be a great source of pain especially if the parent in-law doesn't value you and your needs. As a mother in-law I try to support my Son and daughter in-law the best I can by not demanding holidays or anything. Marriage is difficult enough between two people trying to figure out their lives I don't want to be the reason of conflict over family culture

Comparison is the thief of joy. Ain’t that true.

I know being vulnerable is something I want to be good at, so I really appreciate the insights shared in the episode! Keep up the good work!

Happy FEZYWIG day!

This is so powerful! I love everything that was said.

Even though I’m listening this to post Christmas it brought be to tears. It’s so relevant in every aspect of our lives. Thank you for sharing this perspective on receiving ❤

A dream that’s big enough to include the whole crew. I love it so much!

I’m thankful for the What Could Right? podcast

I like the What Could Go Right? podcast with Erik and Emily Orton.

You read my mind! I have thought about taking my family sailing

Promo sm 🙄

This is so good! Loved the mental navigation quote!

Live by design!

I love this! I’ve listened to many Conference talks on family and one of the things they teach is to lead by example.

I am a rockstar ⭐️

You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.

Ooooooh! Cliff hanger. Also the part about Jane giving the one finger salute is so funny

Guys, the life we can avoid is, for me, perfectly exemplified by this song: th-cam.com/video/LM8JhvfoqdA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6X6TtxxuyuK-9rJa

This is so good! I’ll hopefully be making my own family culture in the 5-7 years

I’m honored to have my story told in this episode!

Love all these things! My oldest sister shares the best memes at week in pictures. Keep up the good work.

This is wonderful! It was so magical to have our NYC family gather. I still think about it to this day.

Love this. I forwarded to my family.

Tks, guys! All the best!

Love the video. Where you able to still attend church?

That was so fun!

Taking this trip with you guys is now a dream of mine.

Thank you for sharing! Loved it!

I love the bare tootsies, fuzzy socks, and the Orton winks as well as the music! Keep the family singing! ♥️

Hi Ortons! Thanks for sharing! We are a family of 6 that has been sailing on the Columbia River out of Portland Oregon over the past year with the goal of getting out on bigger waters for a longer adventure. We are now prepping to do just that. Awesome also to see what you’ve done with those experiences since then. About sailing specifically and the more generic ideas about following dreams and using a story context to live our best lives. Very inspiring! I’m a Don Miller fan as well! Looking forward to seeing more of the content you put out and figuring out how to share our own.

Truly inspiring family!

3 takeaways...1. ask yourself what can go right? And enjoy those responses 2. Turn your excuses into reasons, the things that hold us back can be our strongest motivators. And 3. Let it emerge, embrace uncertainty. Great advice and interview.

Tru dat! My plot twist...turn my LEGO activities into virtual LEGO activities! Woo hoo.

I think this is great advice for everyone not just young adult children. I quit my job and started my own business 3 years ago. I served seniors living in memory care communities and I worked with children teaching both communities how to build with LEGO. Within 2 days, all my clients disappeared ue to COVID-19. I don't know what the future holds, I do have a few ideas but I had to stop and just work on my art for at least two months. It was all I could do. It's only the past few weeks where I am able to look up and see what is next. Thanks for sharing.
