Episode #19-The Gifts of Grief

Friday Dec 08, 2023
In this episode of "Candid Candace-The Podcast!", we cover a lot of ground starting with a topic we can all relate to, handling grief during the holidays. Psychic/medium April Natale’s book "Inside Your Heaven" begins with a sad tale of abuse but, from the ashes, she finds the light and her "sixth sense" that has enabled her to help people find their way to a sense of inner peace after loss. It’s a fascinating read from beginning to end as April reminds us that there are gifts buried in our grief if we pay attention. We also chat about all the fabulous events in and around the Windy City including the surprise windfall for the Service Club of Chicago, PAWS Chicago’s blockbuster Fur Ball, Music of the Baroque’s St. Michael’s concert, the Astor Club’s private anniversary celebration of Maxim’s, Judge Joy Cunningham (someone you should know), “Cilla’s” return, World of Chocolate for AIDS Foundation of Chicago, a Thai party at the Golden Triangle, a party with a trumpet, the CSO’s fun holiday offering and so much more! So grab a hot chocolate and sit for a spell. Thanks for listening!
