We are all born with unique traits and gifts. But, the moment we are born, the race to change us, to make us like everyone begins. We are confronted with expectations throughout life, from others, regardless of who they are. We are expected to dress a certain way, look a certain way, talk a certain way, and simply fit into this mold to gain approval. This episode invites you to do some introspection...to walk out and live your best life, as you imagine it.

If you are American and you care about our country, regardless of your political views, you are obviously worried about what happens beyond today. It is understandable if you are anxious. Many people are. Today's recording offers you encouragement, inspiration and hope to carry us all in the months and years to come. It is an election, it changes our government, but it does not change our resolve or hope for our nation. It does not alter our dreams and hopes for a better tomorrow. It may not extinguish our fears of what might be, but it does not extinguish our ability to stand up one more time and choose what is best for our country. Tomorrow will be a better day for making a difference no matter what the election results are. Get out and be counted beyond tomorrow. Tomorrow belongs to you, to me, and especially to our children, we must make that difference.

It is pandemic times and not life as usual. We have not gotten less busy because of the pandemic. Life has changed and I do not think for the better. We may be working from home, but that means we brought parts of our lives that we kept separately right into our bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens. My bedroom is my classroom for nursing school. I write my exams in my children's bedroom, and there is no privacy because I bring the whole world there with our proctors asking to scan the rooms. Privacy went out the window. And now, I feel violated that I have to do my  continuing education credits from my house. My employers will pay me, but I considered my home time sacred. Not anymore. How do we adjust, how do we find alone time? How do we survive. Join me in my kitchen today and maybe we can start a conversation as I prepare breakfast and get ready for class.

Regret - a feeling of sadness, repentance, disappointment, at a a loss, missed opportunity, etc. Live your life in such a way that you will not look back again in regret but gratitude. Change your attitude about the past by working on the present. In this session, you will learn how to do that, and face a brighter more hopeful tomorrow despite what has happened today or happened yesterday.

Happy listening!

If the people you surround yourself with tell us what kind of person you are, what about your lived in environment, what does it say about who you are? In this recording, I share my life from outside-in.  I create a portrait of what the objects we surround ourselves with might be influencing how we do life, where we go and and what is important to us. Please come in and spend a few minutes with me, in my life.

In light of the circumstances unfolding before us following the murder of George Floyd by a law enforcement officer, I beg you to stop and listen, listen to those you do not wish to hear from. Listen to voices other than your own or those you esteem. There is no escaping our predicaments if we do not learn to listen, so listen to the voice of change...
