    Wouldn't It Be Nice If......

    On this week’s episode, I share a personal experience of the uplifting “Wouldn’t It Be Nice If…”  mindset exercise. This simple phrase is a powerful bridge to move our thoughts from what we don’t what to what we do want. “Wouldn’t It Be Nice If…”  helps align our thoughts with what is in our highest interest, so the Universe has a better chance of helping us manifest what serves our highest good. When my friend Cynthia and I brainstormed and implemented the ““Wouldn’t It Be Nice If…”  possibilities, it shifted our thoughts, our feelings and empowered us to advocate for what was truly best for her. It allowed us to be open, vulnerable and humbled by how the Divine/Source/The Universe is there to support us. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could live from love and trust? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could align our thoughts, words and actions with our open heart? Wouldn’t it be nice if this exercise could restore our humanity? Wouldn’t it be nice......

    Black History to $ Black Out

    On this week’s episode, I acknowledge the informative, inspiring Black History posts from Kimberly Jones and all I continue to learn from her. We fill the month of February honoring the Black innovators, pioneers, and trailblazers that have shaped our country. We can end the month in solidarity by joining millions of people to boycott the corruption and greed of corporations. On the last day of this month, Friday February 28th, join me in participating in the Economic Black Out refusing to shop at any major corporation: NO Walmart, NO Amazon, NO McDonalds!! Check out the show notes for links to Kimberly’s Instagram account as well as the grassroots movement The People’s Union USA, organizing the Economic Blackout on Friday February 28th. Let’s unify, unite and make our voices heard. Enjoy the podcast! Links: Kimberly Jones Podcast Episode IG: @kimberlylatricejones IG: @theonecalledjai IG:@thepeoplesunionusa

    Moment of Resistance

    On this week’s episode, I continue the theme of “Listen and Learn” for Black History Month. I was so grateful for the ‘moment of resistance” that Keith Boykin illuminates in his commentary of Kendrick Lamar’s incredible half time show at the Super Bowl last week. I’ve transcribed Boykin’s commentary in hopes that my listeners will further understand the symbolism, history and meaningful context of Lamar’s powerful performance. Check out the show notes for Keith Boykin’s IG account so you can regularly take in more opportunities for listening and learning. May we honor moments of resistance. May we celebrate Blackness! May we deepen our understanding and compassion for all who have been and are being oppressed. May our resistance unite us in our humanity.  Enjoy the podcast! Links: IG: Keith Boykin

    Listen and Learn

    On this week’s episode, as we kick off the month of February and Black History Month, I share Nikole Hannah-Jones’ poignant explanation of why people want to ban Black History. They want Black people to believe there is something wrong with them, rather than there is something wrong with our country. They don’t want people to be educated and empowered to reveal the lie of our country. With our current political chaos, I know we have to sift through a lot of lies. We are all learning how to limit how much news we take in and be intentional about the sources we trust. In this racially divisive climate, honoring Black History Month feels more important than ever. May we seek to listen and learn from the experience and wisdom of our Black brothers and sisters.

    Humility Seeping In

    I saved 3 quotes this past month that struck me. Without realizing it at the time, each quote lines up with my word for the year: humility. I’m grateful that humility is seeping into my consciousness and unconsciousness.  Are you finding synchronicities and signs that remind you of the word you chose for the year? May you notice the ways your word of the year is showing up for you. May your word of the year seep in…so it can guide you and inspire you. Enjoy the podcast!

    Humility

    Have you ever chosen a word to guide you through the year? This was the first time I’ve tried it. An inner voice popped the word HUMILITY into my mind. I’ve been thinking about humility, feeling into humility and on this week’s episode, I share some of my early reflections on the word humility.   What word comes to mind for you? What word does your inner voice whisper to you for guidance and growth? Whatever your 2025 word might be, may it enlighten, uplift and inspire you. Enjoy the podcast!

    King & Carter

    As we remember and celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today, I want to continue to learn about MLK and discover ways to continue his legacy in my daily life. I am struck by how much MLK had in common with Jimmy Carter. They were only four years apart in age, and even though the late President Jimmy Carter and Martin Luther King, Jr. never met each other, their philosophies were in alignment. It feels incongruent to honor MLK on the same day as Trump’s inauguration, but hold onto MLK’s words that ring truer today than ever before!  “We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity.” Check out the show notes for links to today's Nyack NAACP service at Pilgrim Baptist Church and suggestions for meaningful ways to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. Enjoy the podcast!

    Feed Both

    On this week’s episode, I share the familiar Native American parable of the Two Wolves. You probably know the common version of a Cherokee grandfather acknowledging to his grandson that there is a battle of two wolves inside all of us, one dark and one light. The grandson asked which wolf wins and the grandfather replies “The one we feed.” As much as this version is a gentle reminder that we have a choice, we can choose to feed just the light wolf, I discovered another version of the Two Wolves story. Listen to the podcast to hear the new version, where the grandfather tells his grandson to feed both the dark and the light wolf. Rather than starving the dark wolf, this version offers more of a balance between the two so you can guide the wolves to serve you. As we reflect on the internal fights within us, may we listen to the voices of deeper knowing. May we release the battle within and align with peace. Enjoy the podcast!
