This is a story about a little brother who was accidentally shot and killed with a gun that his friend thought was unloaded.  It was years later, that Doris McLallen became involved with BeSmart, and organization that educates families about gun safety.

Doris also talks about Susan Kennedy, the founder of Bullets4Life, which takes bullet casings found on the street and uses them in workshops with parents to create bracelets.  "One less bullet on the street, one less life lost to gun violence."

What do you do when you have a plan, an idea that you really want to make happen, and then it appears that the doors to that idea are not opening? My guest, Dr. Robert Hanley, will tell us about his experiences with walking through Door #2.

My good friend, Joni Adrian Krafft, retired from the CIA after 33 years, went to work in the public sector for several years, studied to be a life coach, and raised 2 amazing children.  Her journey from diagnosis of breast cancer through her treatment and recovery, brought her the most meaningful life lessons that she shares with us in this video.  

In addition, the day before we recorded this, a very dear friend of hers, a dragon boat team member, passed away from metastatic breast cancer. At the end of our conversation, we will hear a beautiful musical and poetic recording celebrating all the brave survivors on the dragon boat team.  Please stay for that.

Alan Harry will talk to us about how this happened to him and how he has come back.
