The Best-Life Project and Wired That Way

Create Your Best Life Project Marita Littauer joined Pamela's show to discuss her "Create Your Best Life" project launched in 2022 and her book "Wired Up" for its 20-year anniversary. Marita explained how the project idea came to her in a dream after her mother Florence Littauer's death in 2020, where she saw her mother living her best life in heaven. Marita reflected on her own best life being in her current marriage, remodeling houses in Lubbock, Texas, rather than in her previous career as a Christian speaker addressing large audiences. Best Life Project Origins Marita shared the origins of her "Best Life Project," which began when she advised Debbie Robbins, a former participant and Ms. Senior America, to start a blog for immediate publishing rather than waiting for a book. Marita and her sister collaborated with her sister's IT expert son to purchase domain names, leading to the launch of the project three years ago. The faith-based online resource aims to encourage and equip women over 60 to live their best life, with Marita currently working on a blog post about caring for aging mothers ahead of Mother's Day. Guidance for Women Over 60 Marita discussed guidance for women over 60 entering a new life season, emphasizing the importance of leveraging their window of health, resources, and time to live their "best life." She shared personal examples, including an upcoming trip with widowed friends, to illustrate how retired women can engage in new experiences and maintain active lifestyles. Marita also mentioned writing a blog post about travel packing tips, highlighting the importance of personal choice in travel preparations. Girlfriend Trips and Support Networks Marita discussed her blog about girlfriend trips and shared a story about a woman named "Women Seeking Blissful Retirement" who is planning her first girl trip at age 70. Marita emphasized the importance of girlfriend support during difficult times, sharing an example of a friend who needed support after her husband's sudden illness. The conversation highlighted how friendships can provide essential support and encouragement, particularly during life's challenging moments. Wired That Way" Book Discussion Marita discussed her book "Wired That Way," which was published in 2006 and is her 20th book. She explained that while the book deals with personality types similar to her mother's popular book "Personality Plus," it has remained continuously published and relevant for 20 years. Marita shared her background in the personality profiling business, starting when she was nine years old, helping her father sell mimeographed copies of the personality profile at her mother's speaking engagements. Personality Profile Book Discussion Marita discussed her book "Wired That Way," which incorporates her father's personality profile that has been used for nearly 60 years by churches, schools, and businesses. She explained how her work builds on her mother's teachings by focusing more on understanding others' personalities in professional settings, while her mother's work emphasized self-understanding. Marita offered to participate in book clubs studying her book, particularly during its 20th anniversary year, and shared contact information for her website and Facebook presence. The conversation concluded with Marita sharing Romans 12:18 as the biblical foundation for her personality teaching, emphasizing that while complete peace with all people may not be possible, individuals can do their part "so far as it depends on them."
