  • Love is Listening
    WOW! So much is going on in our world!  I've been hit by how much lately, and I bet you have too! Besides the world wide pandemic.  Many of us are trying to understand what we can do in regards to the BLM movement, the internal struggle for authentic understanding and recognizing unconscious bias that has penetrated our culture and crept into our mindset with out us even knowing.  I talk about an important conversation that I think all Americans would benefit from hearing.   Because of all that has been going on, I have been listening to my close friends who are black, to simply listen, and understand, and discover what I can do.  None of us want to feel helpless, right? Well,  in this process I discovered the relevance of one of the most important improv principles... In fact you can't even "Yes and" with out it!  I hope you enjoy this episode and learn how we can love well, and be a part of a dream to bring forth an America that the world has not yet seen, an America we are needing and know it's going to take us to help shape Her into what She is made to be.  One that our children's children will thank us for how we responded when history came knocking on our door.
