Finding Blessings and Throwing Vases

Slate Podcasts
About this episode

Donna Perry has experienced tremendous loss this last year. But as she told producer Yasmeen Khan, the year has also brought "blessings," and reinforced the need to pick up the phone and call people. 

Picking up the phone is what Death, Sex & Money is inviting people to do together on Friday, March 26. In fact, we've declared this day the first-ever "Pick Up the Phone and Call Day." If there's someone you've been meaning to call this past year, get on it. Text "call day" to 70101 and we’ll send you text reminders and tips leading up to our newly-declared holiday.
