Jan 6, 2020
Happy 2020! I’d like to welcome you to the new year and share a
personal story. Despite the ongoing appalling behavior of our
president, that intensified in this first week of this new year, I
am inspired by the wisdom, dedication and impactful activism of
Shaun King. Look up Shaun to discover his impressive platforms:
founder of the Action
PAC;
Flip the
Senate;
The North Star
2019;
host of the podcast “the breakdown
with shaun king”,
and author of the book Make
Change.
His Instagram
posts alone, educate me, uplift me and motivate me to get involved
in tangible ways. I trust his work will inspire you during this
important election year.
I also respect the courageous work of Michael
Moore
- I have seen every movie he has made, read his book “Here
Comes Trouble”, enjoyed his Broadway show, and am now grateful
that instead of making a movie this year, he has invested his
efforts in creating a podcast called Rumble with
Michael Moore.
Please listen to his illuminating conversations, in particular,
with Daniel Ellsberg, Alex Press, and Anand Giridharadas - each
one, articulating many of my inner thoughts, values and longings
for this country, each one stretching and enlightening me. So even
in the political unrest that Trump continues to ignite, I encourage
you to be informed, involved and inspired by these courageous
visionary activists! I know it will help me approach 2020
with a bit more clarity, hope, and confidence.
I also share a personal story about how things don’t always turn
out the way I plan, regardless of how great my goal appears to be!
I appreciate all the humbling lessons I learn when I let go of my
well-intentioned expectations and be open to letting the Universe
take me in a different direction.
Enjoy the podcast.
