With the huge amount of information I wasn't able to discuss last week, I decided to add a part 2 to this discussion. A lot has happened, both good and bad, over the past year.  But generally speaking we are heading towards a more sustainable planet given the inroads we have made and continue to make.  I'll enumerate the issues but because there are so many, and time is limited, I won't be able to touch upon all of them.   I've decided not to discuss the recent climate conference but will leave it for a future show when we can discuss it more in depth. Roxanne Pappas, The Wicked Green Energy Lady on the Wicked Housewives Radio Network, is an Independent Associate for Viridian Energy, educating individuals on green choices for the sustainability of our planet.  Contact her on Facebook.com/LivingItUpGreen,  LinkedIn and Viridian.com/LivingItUpGreen.  Learn more about about her @ Wicked Housewives on Cape Cod

Well, we made it!  2015 is nearly in the books and all the hope and promise of 2016 is ready to burst forth into our lives! Besides being the year the greatest radio show on earth was launched (you know, Wicked Insurance Matters Radio Show with Greg Durette, of course), it would be safe to say it was an interesting and challenging year for our country and the world, to say the least.  We saw the "JV" team rise to a global threat while non-politicians stole the thunder from seasoned veterans.  We saw the stagnation of Wall Street and the economy heralded by certain "journalists" and pundits as the great recovery.  Riots, natural disasters, and "lone wolf" attacks seem to be the new normal. To recap these events and many others, as well as connect the dots on how all these things make a difference in your ability to earn save and retire, tune in this Wednesday, 12/30/15 from 9:30-10:00am EDT and listen to the show. I will do my very best to get in as many of the events that shaped our year as time allows. 

Having worked very hard I now find myself readjusting how I do what I need to do to  get the word out about what I am doing, who it helps, how it helps and trying to polish it up. I will be reviewing everything and coming back after a rebuild of how I do it. What I have learned along the way is that there are many more loving, caring, people out there than I realized. My aim is to study them, learn from them, and polish my personal presentation to be more positive and inclusive. Unfortunately, I think I got wrapped up in my unresolved, unheard issues and allowed them to make me come across as negative and no one wants to identify with the  negative. Lesson learned.  I am not giving up ! I am only going to be using Facebook, Linked in etc to try to build something that costs no money. Bootstrapping can be done but it kills momentum in building a business. I finally reached the end of my ability to keep myself and the business with all it's financial requirements afloat, thus the break to reorganize. I am rem

Do you want to say Merry Christmas but, feel like people will unfairly judge you?  Do you want to say Happy Hanukkah but, think people will judge you evn more harshly?  Do you say Happy Holidays just to make sure you are not offending PC correctness?!! Well, if any of these are the case for you, then you need to tune in and relax as I explain how TRUE political and religious correctness can release you from the binds foisted upon you by a broadcast media gone insane.  And, in the true spirit of my show, you will learn how this can save you money as well...go figure!? This is going to be one of the most provocative and insightful shows I have ever done.  You will love or hate it.  Either way, I hope it will inspire you to think and enjoy your holiday all the more.

Oh and, by the way, there will be a very interesting m

For tonights show I would like to look at gratitude, as life puts lessons in our path to deal with, and the lessons we derive from them. When we look initiially at a lesson as it unfolds, we tend to look toward the negative side of it, but we neglect the positive side as if it was expected and needs no acknowledgement. My theory is we are a sum of our experiences, positive and negative, and we are tilted to the wrong part of the lesson. The beginning shows were for me to lay out the "issues or problems" as I interpreted them. Focusing on them and allowing time a new clarity emerges and a differing end result takes form. From the supposed negatives there is always a positive that emerges as well. We just need to acknowledge it to push our growth quicker. Lets share some specifics: About the author: Russ Illes is the host of this radio show and the author of the book "Duct Tape Won't FixThis", a fathers perspective on raising a chronicaly ill child. Available on Amazon and Kindle and at RiverhaveBooks.com.

How can you protect your sobriety from unforgiveness? Research shows that the negative emotion of unforgiveness can cause stress to build up in the body and there is a potential for physical, mental and emotional problems.  I know first-hand how true this is.

I will discuss how you can find forgiveness for yourself and others.

The funny thing about topics like Annuities, Life Insurance Disability Insurance and Long Term Care issues is, they become very personal to each person.  Consequently, folks tend to want their very personal questions answered privately so as to keep their business confidential.  It is why most folks will contact me after a show with their questions. The other funny thing is, oftentimes, these questions are asked by many others...not just one.  So, I decided to air some of the most common questions and my answers in this show in the hope many will benefit and get their "private" questions answered too. Things like: Can I leave my life insurance to my grandchild?How can I protect my estate from my daughter's former spouse?Do I need a trust?Should I buy Long Term Care insurance or just let the State take care of me?My employer gives me disability insurance so why should I spend money on a policy of my own?When does a Buy/Sell agreement for my business become an unfunded liability?What are the differences betwe

A side step tonight. I am watching the world around me and am shaking my head as to the outright lies, deseption,twisted truth, and plain BS that is coming at us by the supposed news organanizations megaphones of the two parties. 30 yrs ago we had 50 independant news orgsnizations, mow we have 5, and they are leading us down the merry pathway to somewhere I am sure we don;t want to go. Iam not sure the President of the USA is even a patriot of our country. We need to stop and ask how much are willing to let slide without pitching a loud and boistress hold on GOUVERNMENT. You work for us, and if you don't , your out. We need to set term limits as this career politician isn't working.
