This episode covers a lot of great inspiration!  It starts off with Colleen talking about the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drumond, who used her life being turned upside down to start a blog that turned into something much bigger (and more delicious).  Then Teresa and Colleen discuss the absolutely brilliant and brave women behind the Hidden Figures book and movie, and a few other "human computers" that made the early NASA programs possible.  These women were truly trailblazers for women of color!  And finally, Teresa has a few dog related stories that really are about humans treating others with kindness.  There is something for everybody in this episode.  You will be inspired!

Happy February!  So, a little different this week, instead of two shorts and a long story, we have two longer stories.  In celebration of Black History Month, we have a story about the first Black Supreme Court Justice and a true hero of the Civil Rights Movement, Thurgood Marshall.  Then, we have the story of three brave women who challenged their role in war and made significant contributions to their side.  Wars are not won by soldiers alone and these women were as brave as any soldier.  These are some great stories and you are going to feel inspired!

Inspiration.  That is what you will find in this episode, plain and simple.  Teresa continues her deep dive with Part 2 on the indomitable Coretta Scott King.  Everybody should know about this woman and her major role in the Civil Rights Movement.  There are also some great stories of people opening up their homes and businesses to help out people (and animals) left in the cold.  And learn about Myrtilla Miner who opened up one of the first schools for Black girls in the years leading up to the American Civil War.  Take approximately 28 minutes from your day and drink in the inspiration!

Here in the States, we just celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  This amazing civil rights leader is well-known around the world.  What is not as well known is the story of Coretta Scott King, MLK's wife.  This woman is so inspiring and played a huge role in Martin Luther King's success and the civil rights movement.  This is a story that needs to be told and celebrated right alongside Martin Luther King's story, because his story is intertwined with her story.  So many things to talk about, Coretta's story will take two episodes.  We also have a heartwarming story of some kids in Minnesota looking out for their classmates with disabilities and a Native American runner who is building a community across the country with other indigenous people.   This is a must-listen to episode!

Three great stories for you this week!  First, the story of Nancy Russell and her amazing efforts to preserve the scenic Columbia Gorge, then a deep dive on Bono, the singer for the band U2, and his amazing work fighting for impoverished people throughout the world, and third, a story of how a school in Redmond, Oregon is giving students valuable skills and helping the local homeless.  Lots of inspiration to be had, come on and grab some!

Happy New Year and welcome to the first episode of Tangential Inspiration for 2023.  We start off talking about New Years' Resolutions and how we can impact others with our resolutions.   Then Teresa does a deep dive on the book An Invisible Thread by Laura Schroff- it is an amazing story you will want to hear about how two total strangers found each other and changed each other's lives.  And then Teresa talks about Finland's "Queen of Cleaning" who is using her love of cleaning to help others.  It is a great episode, and a great way to start your new year!

This is our favorite time of year, coming up on the Holidays!  We have the gift of inspiration to share.  Amy starts off with the story of a gym owner in the U.K. who is using his time to train people with disabilities and the elderly in order to give them a better quality of life.  Then Amy tells the amazing story of Ryan Dant, a young child with the crippling and deadly disease, MPS, and the determination of his parents and his doctors to find a viable treatment to help Ryan and other children around the world.  Finally, Teresa wraps it up with some inspiring NFL stories during this football season.  Come have a listen- inspiration abounds.

Missed last week due to Covid, but we are back and feeling good!  Amy brings us the story of a local charity that is working with restaurants to help stop food insecurity in Portland.  Teresa deep dives on Betty Ford who was a First Lady for the people and whose legacy carries on.  Then Teresa wraps up with some happy dog stories.  Who doesn't love a good dog story?  It's a great episode to find some inspiration!  

December 7th - remember the sacrifices of the men and women who died in the attack at Pearl Harbor.  🇺🇸
