"And I, I would let that person know that, you know, I agree it's an agreement of some kind, you know, you might know, and somebody mentions it, and it kind of lets you know that, oh, wow. You know, sometimes you think you the only one thought of that or had a revelation of that or something like that, and you say amen. Thanks for sharing."
"I feel your presence. I trust your plan. To me, Amen is the moment when faith and gratitude meet. It's when I look at my children, you know, sharing their dreams and making plans, and I whisper amen. It's not just a prayer, but as a blessing. Let the magic begin. Let the path open. Let their hopes be held safely in your hands. That's what amen is for me."
"I love this prompt. Amen to in spite of all that is going on and in spite of what we see and even sometimes our perception of what we see. Amen. That God is still on the throne and that he is still in control, there is nothing that takes him by surprise and it will all work together to accomplish his will and his intention and his purpose."
"Just an amen to those counselors who come out of all sorts of situations to spend two months in the woods with a bunch of kids who might never have had these kinds of experiences before. And as counselors, you tuck them in at night in your own way. You give them sort of this huge canvas to paint on in terms of what's wild and crazy about. Summer camp is so different than being in your bedro...
"Good morning. Swell. This was. I was so enticed by the name of this prompt. But thinking about what to say is a whole different matter, because everything matters most, actually. And it's hard to delineate what matters the absolute most."
"But it's all really designed to keep the artist stuck, which is sad, but it is what it is. So artists got to find a better way to get this motherfucking money. And that's my word of the day. Peace."
"And that's just because we've known each other for so long. You know, it's just. I found my people, and it's really good to know that they're my friends, and they've been my friends for a while now, and they're probably gonna be my friends until I die."
"So you know, they could go either or, but just you being you. Whether it's holding the door open for someone or picking up a heavy box to bring down two steps for someone you know, or helping someone put something in a trunk of a car, or being the delivery crew for a mama at home with many kids, you know, all of those individuals, you, me, the day to day that we do important and it's a ...
"And you know, I, I was sad to hear how many, you know, lives that was taken over this, you know, pandemic. You know, it's like, I don't know. And since then, the world is like, it's a new world order. Everything is different. But however, we glad that we survived those of us here, we are glad and we are here to live for God."
"But if you were in an environment in which you knew you were safe and loved, your general nature as well would be one of generosity and giving, and you would feel that you would only want to give back. It's only from moments and situations, environments with less, that you feel the need to perhaps compensate. And usually that's not in a positive way."

"Hi, Soho. So I've been working with children over 20 years, and somehow throughout the years it always shifts to different type of, let's say, realities concerning our children. And maybe the last five years, been working with abandoned kids. Maybe the last three years I have been working with abandoned teenage boys."
"After a day where everything goes off like today for me, this is getting a little bit long so I'm gonna cut it. But yeah, maybe someday. Maybe soon. Okay. I was running. I don't know, I was walking around my campus. But I'm gonna go home now and yeah."
"And this horrible time in Southern California also showed me the importance of community because hundreds of thousands of dollars were raised in GoFundMes to help people I know raise rebuild their homes and trying to regain a sense of normality after the destruction the wildfires caused. And people in my hometown were also making donations of clothes, food and other resources to people in ...
"And I think that has, you know, kind of put things not necessarily quite into perspective, but it's definitely become something that I've like had to think about or thought about slightly because I don't come from, you know, a place where wildfires happen a lot and suddenly I'm living in California and you know, I get emails from my campus saying hey, aboard these, these parts of town be...
"What this looks like for me is just being able to speak freely and say what I actually feel without feeling judged or without, you know, kind of receiving negative feedback or making me feel ashamed. But I also think that good friends and good family doesn't just listen to everything you say without giving you critiques. And I think that having a support system around me that's const...
"I feel the most sense of belonging with my five college roommates. We all met like the very first day of school and we always like to tell the story, like a little meet cute to everyone that we meet that we were all paired up as three sets of roommates and we met at this ice cream social thing before classes even started."
"But the people in the kahila, in the community, when you look out and you pause from davening and you look at the community who attends, those are the people create a very special supportive hug for you when you need them. And I stick with this, and I maintain that synagogue participation is enriching for this reason, and that is a community I hold dear."
"And this beautiful lesson and the way you learned from your own personal misstep is a lesson we all need to take from this book. That showing up and being present for everybody's sorrow and not just their joy, and sharing these emotional highs and lows within the community is sacred. And I think that's what you talk about in your book in the most personal way. And that's what I love about this ...
"I didn't think too much about it, and I simply sat down and I asked her, hey, what happened? How are you doing? That was all it took. Her eyes welled up and she hesitated for a moment before speaking. It was as if she had been carrying so much inside and just waiting for someone to notice. We talked for a while, and I just listened. I didn't have any solutions or advice. I just let her shar...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
