- @OnAcornBay | #TheDailyAcorn - Truth To Power. A Warning and A Promise - Jamaica’s Crossroads.Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
"Good morning. This is Shawna Kearsley. And welcome to the Daily Acorn. I'm a hope dealer. But today hope requires hard truth. I need to talk to you about Jamaica. My. My Jamaica. Our Jamaica. I am of the Jamaican Diaspora. My roots, they run deep in that soil. Even though my feet walk on American ground. And when you carry the blood of a nation in your veins, you don't get to stay silent when that nation is at a crossroads."13 min - @OnAcornBay | #TheDailyAcorn: "There You Are" - The Art of Making Others Feel Important.Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
"He understood that people, all people, from the wealthy lawyer to the construction worker, to the small business owner, they want to be seen, they want to be recognized. They want to feel important. Is that so wrong? And when you make someone feel important, you are not just doing good sales. Are you ready? Because I need you to sit down for this one. This is my big one today. You are doing good. Humanship. Yeah, human ship."10 min - @OnAcornBay | #TheDailyAcorn - First Snow, Enduring Spirit: A Reflection from Class of ’93 to Class of ’29Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
"This morning, as the first snowfall draped itself across our beloved campus like a whispered promise, I found myself transported back 36 years to when these same hills, these same paths, these same waters shaped me into who I would become. I was class of 1993, a rower, one of those slightly crazy souls who chose 5am Wake ups and the bite of Seneca Lake's cold embrace over the warmth of sleep. We ran first, always ran first."11 min - @OnAcornBay | #TheDailyAcorn - After Melissa: Jamaica, China, and the Politics of Recovery.Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
"This hurricane was an earth mover. The island's earth moved. Jamaica must navigate carefully. It's committed to rebuilding by December 15 to save the crucial tourism season. Tourism is 30% of the GDP. That means Chinese built roads need to reopen. Chinese reconstruction expertise might be essential for rapid reconstruction. The Western Children's Hospital project continues. But Jamaica also needs to maintain its Caribbean leadership role and its relationship with North America."12 min - @OnAcornBay | #TheDailyAcorn - Rebuilding Jamaica’s Ecosystem, One Bee at a Time!Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
"So, yeah, maybe Einstein didn't actually say that quote about bees and the survival of our mankind, but whoever said it, they were onto something. The bees matter. They've always mattered. And in post hurricane Jamaica, they might just be the key to everything. Lori Little Bear and greater good charities, they get that. And thanks to their work, those tiny pollinators are getting a second chance. Which means Jamaica is getting a second chance too. Thank you for listening."9 min - @OnAcornBay | #TheDailyAcorn - Bauxite, Hurricanes, and Diplomacy: The Jamaica-Russia StoryClick here to reply to @OnAcornBay
"Hurricane Melissa has become a defining moment for Jamaica, testing not just the infrastructure, but the relationships, the resilience that we talk about and Jamaica's vision for the future. There is a Project 2030 on the table. Prime Minister Wholeness. So as the island rebuilds, the world is watching to see how a small nation manages both climate catastrophe and complex international partnerships. There, right? In the next episode, we're going to talk about China."13 min - @OnAcornBay | #TheDailyAcorn - Hurricane Melissa: When Your Vacation Meets Reality.Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
"You've worked your ass off for this vacation. Then Melissa shows up. Namaste, bitches. Category 5, 160 mile per hour winds. A catastrophic storm that doesn't check your itinerary before destroying everything in its path. And somehow, somehow in the middle of this historic natural disaster, while Jamaicans are securing their families and fighting for survival, some tourists found time to complain about the food in the hurricane shelter, to demand their refunds, to post tiktoks about their ruined vacations."4 min - @OnAcornBay | #TheDailyAcorn - THE QUIET THIEFClick here to reply to @OnAcornBay
"You're surrounded by voices that call your name, not because they care, but because they want to keep you busy. They sell you urgency as purpose, entertainment as escape, relevance as purpose. They feed your mind with flashes of information that never stay long enough to grow into understanding anything substantial. This is how distraction wins. Not by force, but by feeding you fragments until you forget what wholeness feels like. You scroll, you click, react, consume, but never, never rest."10 min - @OnAcornBay | "Defying Expectations" and breaking barriers with Al "Hondo" Handy. A servant leader and community champion.Click here to reply to @OnAcornBay
"And what I talk about is how sports affected them when they were coming up, how it has a bearing on the job that they're doing, how's it helped them in their job that they have today. And, you know, sports is all about teamwork, all about working together. And so I always talk about how has sports help you? Right. And that teamwork piece is really big. What are some of the other ways that sports. Imagine showing up on time?"10 min - @OnAcornBay | #TheDailyAcorn - The Love That Saves YouClick here to reply to @OnAcornBay
"You're left crumbling to figure out what changed, what you did wrong, how you get back to the good version of him. How do you do that? But here's what Forward wants you to see. There isn't a good version and a bad version. There's just him. And the pattern itself is the abuse. Recognizing that naming it is the first act of liberation. And this is where it gets insidious. Self Blame becomes the glue that keeps toxic love intact. There it is."10 min
