      "One Moment in Time" Lyrics
      (Written by: Albert Hammond + John Bettis)

      Each day I live

      I want to be
      A day to give
      The best of me
      I'm only one
      But not alone
      My finest day
      Is yet unknown

      I broke my heart

      Fought every gain
      To taste the sweet
      I face the pain
      I rise and fall
      Yet through it all
      This much remains

      I want one moment in time

      When I'm more than I thought I could be
      When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
      And the answers are all up to me
      Give me one moment in time
      When I'm racing with destiny
      Then in that one moment of time
      I will feel
      I will feel eternity

      I've lived to be

      The very best
      I want it all
      No time for less
      I've laid the plans
      Now lay the chance
      Here in my hands

      You're a winner for a lifetime

      If you seize that one moment in time
      Make it shine

      Give me one moment in time

      When I'm more than I thought I could be
      When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
      And the answers are all up to me
      Give me one moment in time
      When I'm racing with destiny
      Then in that one moment of time
      I will feel
      I will feel eternity
      I will be
      I will be free

      "The Greatest Love of All" Lyrics

      (Written by: Linda Creed)


      I believe the children are our are future
      Teach them well and let them lead the way
      Show them all the beauty they possess inside
      Give them a sense of pride to make it easier

      Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
      Everybody searching for a hero
      People need someone to look up to
      I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
      A lonely place to be
      And so I learned to depend on me

      I decided long ago

      Never to walk in anyone's shadows
      If I fail, if I succeed
      At least I'll live as I believe
      No matter what they take from me
      They can't take away my dignity

      Because the greatest

      Love of all is happening to me
      I found the greatest
      Love of all inside of me
      The greatest love of all
      Is easy to achieve
      Learning to love yourself
      It is the greatest love of all

      And if, by chance, that special place

      That you've been dreaming of
      Leads you to a lonely place
      Find your strength in love

    • 2. Featured Voice :: EMAH SHAE :: "Inner Healing"

      This episode reveals our first Featured Voice, EMAH SHAE. (Emah means 'mother' in a lot of indigenous cultures.) She has practiced contemporary architecture for over 30 years, and now during her semi-retirement, is an avid researcher in indigenous healing methods, and in particular as inspired by Dr. Sebi. Emah is a native of Jamaica, and you will hear patois as she speaks about:

      • some traditional expectations of Jamaican women; 
      • the cost of trying to fit in -- both in corporate life, and even family life;
      • the social and cultural shame that often accompanies being a sensitive person;
      • finding the courage to resist European standards of beauty, and allow the naturalness of her hair; and
      • the empowering decision to be, accept, and love... who she truly is. "I don't want to be what I'm not, anymore."

        • Contact Emah at:

        • 1. WANTED: Sound-Selfies From Brave Alchemists ⚗️
          • This episode speaks a more beautiful world into existence.
          • The show is called "The Work of the Empath," so I clarify what I mean by "work" and what I mean by "empath."
          • What is the true core and function of our being? (Ontologists, where y'all at?)
          • I introduce a term and practice I call "Asynchronous Bonding." (If it's always been difficult for you to schedule things, and you prefer to "go with the flow," you might really like this. Heck, you may already be doing it!)
          • The background song mid-way through is "Compassion," by Meavy Boy.
          • Email your .MP3 Sound-Selfie (10-minute minimum, 30-minute maximum) to "podcast at empathicwriter dot com."
          • In your recording, please share stories or art that shows how you 'use' empathy in practical and actual ways. Please be sure to clearly include your name, website and social media handles, so that your business or beloved cause can be seen and celebrated. I'll also add those details in that show's description box, of course. The Good-Hearted need to be easy to find. :-)
          • Help this pleasurable project along by sharing it with a resonant friend, or two, and leaving a (hopefully) supportive rating. Thank you. 💐
