Young girl anxious about the future begins to see the future as a great adventure. Lou tells why men need to be ok with feelings, and Mary talks about caring about others. 

Today's show addresses the need to show our love to our Moms. As one caller put it, his Dad told him, in war when soldiers are hurt and dying, when they cry out, it is for their Mom. Even though relationships are easily strained, and we aren't always getting along with our family members, there are times when we just need to reach past the tough stuff and focus on the love that is there. Mother's Day, in my mind at least, is a time for coming together. Listen to the show and see what positive memories come back for you about you and your Mom. And if you are lucky enough to still have your Mom with you, let her know how you feel!

I organized a panel of experts to discuss the growing importance of emotional intelligence.
