    Make A Difference Minute: The Encouragement to Keep Going

    On this Make a Difference Minute, I’m coming to you from Decatur, Alabama, at Mel's Sweet Treats with owner Melissa Cook. Melissa shares the mindset that helped her through the early years of building her business: if you’re going to do something, give it everything you have so you can look back knowing you truly tried. She also remembers one of those early customers who would stop by each morning for coffee, try the cookies and spend a few minutes visiting. It was a simple routine, but for a new small-business owner, his presence gave her encouragement to keep going. Sometimes supporting someone’s dream really can be as simple as showing up.

    10-02-26-Wounded Warrior

    On this Make a Difference Minute, Army veteran Michael Matthews shares what he wants others to understand about veterans returning home after experiencing combat. After being injured in Mosul, Michael says some of the biggest changes involved a heightened sensitivity to certain things and learning to live with the person he had become through those experiences. His message for families and friends is one of empathy. The person who comes home is still your loved one, but combat and injury can change them. Supporting a veteran can mean learning to adapt alongside them while encouraging them to embrace life as the person they are today.

    Make A Difference Minute: Tell Their Story

    On this Make a Difference Minute, Dr. Constance Smith Hendricks shares why documenting the lives and contributions of nurses matters. Nurses are often reluctant to talk about themselves or believe what they’ve done deserves recognition. As Dr. Hendricks puts it, though, if we don’t tell those stories, they can be lost. That belief helped lead to the book Alabama Notable Nurses, preserving the stories of hundreds of nurses, including those who are no longer here to tell their own. Their names mattered, their work mattered, & their stories are worth preserving!

    You Are Not Alone: Michael Matthew's Journey from Isolation to Purpose

    Tonight, U.S. Army veteran Michael Matthews shares a story of service, survival, isolation & the connection that helped change the direction of his life. Michael served three deployments to the Middle East. During a mission in Mosul, Iraq, he was severely injured in an attack. He awoke two weeks later in a hospital in Germany with a broken jaw, severe burns & injuries that required months of physical therapy. He also returned home with a traumatic brain injury & PTSD. As Michael withdrew from others, a chance encounter with a fellow veteran led him to a Wounded Warrior Project event. That first step helped him rediscover the camaraderie he had been missing. Today, Michael shares his story and mentors other wounded warriors so they understand they are not alone. As Suicide Prevention Awareness Month comes to a close, we’ll discuss what it will take to end veteran suicide and what each of us can do to support veterans throughout the year.

    Make A Difference Minute: Write It Down

    On this Make a Difference Minute, Dr. Gennifer Horton Moon joins me at the inaugural Alabama Nurse Honor Guard State Conference in Cullman to talk about preserving the stories and traditions of nurses for future generations. For families who still have a loved one’s nursing cap, pin, lamp or other piece of their nursing history, Dr. Moon has a message: “Write it down.” She explains that preserving the item is important, but preserving the story behind it matters just as much. Record the story. Write down what you know. Pass it along to someone who will value it and understand why it mattered. Dr. Moon also shares how one family entrusted her Nurse Honor Guard chapter with a nurse’s original cape, allowing another piece of nursing history to continue telling its story.

    Preserving Nursing's Legacy with Dr. Gennifer Moon & Dr. Constance Hendricks

    Tonight, I’m sharing more conversations from the inaugural Alabama Nurse Honor Guards State Conference in Cullman, with Dr. Gennifer Horton Moon and Dr. Constance Hendricks joining me on The Mark White Show. Dr. Moon shares why her grandmother initially questioned her decision to become a nurse and how she eventually followed the family tradition of teaching, too. We discuss the difference simply listening can make, the meaning behind nursing’s caps, pins, and lamps, and why the stories connected to those keepsakes deserve to be preserved. Dr. Hendricks explains how a classroom assignment grew into Alabama Notable Nurses, a book documenting the contributions of nurses across our state. She also shares how she helped bring Nurse Honor Guard services to Alabama’s Black Belt and why she wants future nurses to understand the work and sacrifices of those who came before them. Both conversations offer a reminder that preserving a nurse’s legacy starts with listening to their story and making sure it is recorded for the next generation.

    Make A Difference Minute: What She Did Mattered

    On this Make a Difference Minute, I’m continuing to share stories from the inaugural Alabama Nurse Honor Guard State Conference in Cullman. Amanda Simmons, founder and president of the Nurses Honor Guard of East Central Alabama, shares the story of Eunice Johnson, a nursing home nurse whose tribute reminded Amanda why this work matters. Not every nurse receives recognition for the work they do. Some quietly serve their patients day after day for years, never expecting attention or praise. As Amanda put it, “What she did mattered.” We’ll hear why making sure families know that can mean so much after a loss.
