In this episode from March of 2021, Tony Wechsler interviews Dave Sanderson on how to take your life from turmoil to triumph. Dave has an amazing story to tell, which includes how moments matter in you life. On January 15, 2009, Flight 1549 from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina struck a flock of birds shortly after take-off, losing all engine power. Unable to reach any airport for an emergency landing, pilots Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles glided the plane safely into the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan. This water landing of a powerless jet became known as the “Miracle on the Hudson.” Dave was one of the 155 people on that plane. You’ll hear about this, and so much more to help you learn to have a more positive life.

Grief is something that is a part of life. We grieve all kinds of things, especially when it involves a significant loss. That can be the loss of a loved one, including a pet, a loss of a relationship,  even a loss of career, or a certain period in our lives. Everyone grieves in different ways, but in the end, we need to move forward with life in spite of the sadness and loss.

What exactly is “normal?” The dictionary defines it as “conforming to a standard; it’s all about being usual, typical, or expected.” Normal can be fine in some circumstances, but it also can be rather boring. When we settle for being normal or settle for less that we feel we deserve or desire, life can lose it’s passion.
