ITL143: The Rarely Asked, But Often Pondered Question: What’s the Correct Handshake Etiquette for Girls?
On this week’s episode, I respond to a listener question about handshake etiquette for girls. I don’t think there is a “right” or “wrong,” but I do think there is a “best.” There are a couple of schools of thought here:
With the way our world works today, I don’t think a woman shaking hands should offend anyone.
I’ve taught my boys that there are many people who will not expect a handshake from them because of their age.

On this week’s episode, I talk about my special new book, The Perfect Moment, and the peculiar story of how it came to be published: It all started while I was throwing football with one of my boys.
The book offers amazing insights into finding the hidden value of everyday life.
We are very grateful for Mac Anderson and Simple Truths for putting this book out nationwide. I’m absolutely thrilled with how beautiful the book turned out! Questions for Listeners Do you have a question? Call in and your question might be featured on the show!

Before getting into our discussion, I wanted to give a shout-out to my friend Wes Hampton.
This week’s topic comes from a pastor who sometimes works with victims of sexual abuse, and what “accepting responsibility” would look like in this situation. One of the women he works with started reading The Traveler’s Gift and closed the book when she read to accept responsibility for your past. Life is a series of advancing what we understand, or we kind of stop in a certain place and say, “That’s it.”
Accepting responsibility for our past also means determining what we are responsible for.

On this week’s episode, I address the question of how to balance contentment and the things you want in life. There are several things I want to do and want to have. Before anything “goes up on our refrigerator,” so to speak, I see if it fits my criteria…
We are very joyful whether we get to do something or not. There is an understanding that we don’t need certain things to feel fulfilled. I am very aware of blessings beyond need.
Gratefulness is right in the middle of this question. You’ve got to have a grateful spirit and understand that if your needs are met, everything else is gravy. Questions for Listeners Do you have a question? Call in and your question might be featured on the show!
