What Matters

Discouraged about the impact you can have? Ever think that one person doesn’t have much influence? One person, focused and passionate, can make a tremendous difference!

This week we are joined by R. Wayne Hicks, Executive Director of Black Data Processing Associates Education and Technology Foundation. BDPA was founded in 1975 out of concern that minorities were not adequately represented in the workforce of the then emerging computer industry. BETF, the Education and Technology Foundation of BDPA is a 501© (3) nonprofit charity established in 1992 to financially support student education and technology initiatives.

An active leader in the organization since 1988, Wayne has followed his passion for education and applied his skill and dedication to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged youth across the country. Working at both the local and national level, Wayne is the embodiment of the ripple effect.

What do you think of when you hear the word “cancer”? Does that change if it’s “lung cancer”? The face of lung cancer may not match your stereotype. Usually associated with long term smokers, lung cancer funding and support is often stigmatized because of the belief that it results from a lack of concern for one’s health or the failure to stop a harmful behavior. Lung Cancer affects many people who are not smokers or who have never smoked. Hear the journey of one lung cancer survivor who used every tool available to her to walk through this challenge. Hear how she used her challenge to reach beyond her own family to assist others with the same diagnosis, their families, and the researchers who continue to seek new ways to treat this often forgotten cancer.

Are you micromanaging the Universe? Do you find yourself rearranging the universe to force the outcome you desire? Does this seem to backfire and result in the outcome you least wanted to have?

In this holiday season we might find ourselves setting up elaborate attempts to control our world. Busy schedules, holiday deadlines and family dramas all give us a sense of losing control. So we compensate by orchestrating elaborate schemes and detailed plans for every detail of our lives. Have you noticed that the people around often don’t follow the script you wrote for the perfect holiday?

Wouldn’t it be nice to simply enjoy the season as it unfolds? Wouldn’t it be so much easier to enjoy family and friends, accepting them as they are? Wouldn’t it be a joy to allow the Universe to bless you with peace and abundance? Join the discussion this week to find that calm within, so you can radiate it to everyone you meet!
