When you have good news you want to share it, make it seen, heard, and known to everyone. I think it springs from compassion, whether it be expressed as a thoughtful  act or caring conversation. 

This episode features remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and a portion of his "I have a Dream" speech. This episode also includes a new segment called 3 1/2 Questions about Love, with special guest Laura Hanley. Laura is a board-certified social worker and psychotherapist practicing in the frozen tundra of Minnesota.   She is also a mother to three marvelous boys,  an avid reader,  sometimes-knitter, and forever cat lady.
