Todays episode s a reflection on one of the biggest lessons I learned from 2020: life is for the living. We look at the difference between living versus barely surviving, why we stop ourselves from being in the moment, and how to break the cycle of simply surviving.  

  After four years of what many people have described as the most divisive President in American history, the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris administration is suppose to be what unites the country. In this episode of Sarandippity we confront these claims. Using historical context we discuss what unity in America has looked like. We address the context of our current division, and finally ask the question are Biden's calls for unity just another code for complacency?         chill. by sakura Hz https://soundcloud.com/sakurahertzCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported  — CC BY 3.0  Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/chill-sakuraHzMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/pF2tXC1pXNo
