In this special November episode of House Calls, Dr. Connie Mariano reflects on gratitude, service, and the search for a higher purpose. Drawing on her decades in the U.S. Navy, she shares how military life shaped her values - mission first, caring for others, and living for something greater than yourself. She is joined by longtime friend Laura Ziff, a trailblazing entrepreneur whose journey from educator to founder of a national management company—and later to world-traveling photographer and devoted volunteer—embodies the transformative power of giving back. Together, they explore: • The meaning of Veterans Day and the sacrifices of service members • How gratitude deepens joy and resilience • The Three Ts of true giving: Time, Talent, and Treasure • Laura's inspiring work with the homeless and how small acts of kindness change lives • Why you don't need perfection to serve others • How embracing purpose can bring peace, clarity, and fulfillment This uplifting Thanksgiving-season episode invites listeners to pause, reflect on their blessings, and discover how giving of your time, sharing your talents, and offering your treasures can create a life of deeper meaning and connection.
