It's always a challenge to remain positive because of the constant drumbeat of hatred, world domination, disease, and mistrust of others.  But it's important for all of us to avoid the trap of thinking that only someone else - not you - can make a positive difference.  When you truly self-reflect and search your heart, you know YOU can bring a smile to someone's face, you can - and probably - have helped others without expecting or even wanting praise in return, and you may have even accepted the truism that you are important, even if only in a small way, in being here on this earth for a reason and it's not just to get a college education, to work at a job, or to make money.  There's so much more and starting with compassion and thoughtfulness is the beginning, middle, and there is no end.

The goal of my podcast is to discuss interesting topics either in solo episodes or with guests and guest-hosts.  Sharing thoughts on different issues, especially those that are humorous, thoughtful, and thought-provoking, meaningful, insightful, and even heartwarming at times.
