In our second episode on Critical Race Theory (CRT), we dig deeper into the concerning attempts by those in power to prevent the accurate teachings of the history of racism in America. Listen in as Dr. Butler makes the excellent comparison that “taking race out of the story of American history is like taking a leading character out of your favorite movie.” Now the plot doesn’t make sense. The same thing happens when they try to tak...

Most of us show our appreciation towards the special people in our lives during “the month of love” (aka February). But I challenge you now to share the love universally – 365 days a year. Sharing our love universally includes the act of showing empathy for others. It means you should love thy neighbor – even if they look, act, believe and love differently than you. If we could love our neighbors truly, then we would not have peopl...

I recorded this Motivational Moment episode to honor Black History Month. As I was coming of age in the ‘60s, I saw changes in society that led me to believe our country was going to recognize our greatest strengths and embrace equality. Unfortunately there are now some troubling signs that we are moving backwards and ignoring the lessons we learned from the mistakes made in the past. We cannot ignore these efforts to make America ...

In this first Motivational Moment podcast of 2022 I discuss how human interaction often changes for the better during the holiday season -- in comparison to the earlier part of the year.

Hello and a very Happy Holidays to all my followers! In my latest Motivational Moment episode, I ask the question "Is Consumerism Ruining Our Holidays?" We all know how easy it is to get caught up in the hype to go bigger and better during this time of year. We have a preoccupation as a society with the constant acquisition of consumer goods. But we also know that our happiness should not be defined by our ability to obtain more ma...

"The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they must be felt by the heart." - Helen Keller The key to personal fulfillment is intentionality and focus, and your heart impacts your perspectives, sometimes more significantly than the mind. Take the time to ask yourself "where am I trying to go in life?" and "what am I willing to sacrifice to get there?" Do we stay the course of how we lived life before or do ...

In today's Motivational Moment episode, I discuss how sometimes, we miss our blessings by looking everywhere but where we are presently. Sometimes, the saying the "grass is greener on the other side" makes us less appreciative of where we are and what we have. Sometimes, we become discontent because what we desire hasn’t happened quick enough. So remember that sometimes, where you are is often the best place for you. Thank you for ...
