In this episode, we answer a listener's question, "How can I avoid merging with my mother?" Paula's mother had experienced an unjust situation, and Paula felt angry and protective on her mom's behalf. Listen in on the self-care and reframing tips Reiki Master Geneva Robins had for this situation.Recognize it comes from a Good place - You Care!If you see yourself in Paula's shoes and feel upset or angry about injustice in the world, know that feeling has a very positive core. You care! What an amazing place the world would be if everyone cared as much as you!Sometimes, simply noticing that the energy underneath the strong feeling of distress and anger is actually coming from a place of deep love can help reframe things. As soon as you notice what the core is, you can shift into that loving space.Create a gentle space to acknowledge your feelingsThe next step is to give yourself a space, a moment where you can step away from the situation. To temporarily pause the thinking that is creating the flood of emotion in your body and just give yourself a space to rest, ground, and come back to yourself.This can be very difficult to do when you're in a heightened state, but it is essential if you want to be of maximum service to the one you love.To do this, it's useful to pay attention to the physical sensations in the body. Gently notice areas of tension, of different temperatures, noticing if there are any muscles that are clenched, if your breathing is tight and not flowing. And then just gently working to create space around all the sensations and gently creating room with your breath and awareness into the simple sensations of distress and anger within the body. It's a heightened form of mindfulness. Even a few minutes of paying attention to your inner physiological state will begin to bring in a sense of calm. You might like the Releasing Anger Meditation as a tool to begin anchoring yourself back in the present moment. Come back to yourself and the present - Grounding and your AuraAnother powerful tool is grounding, which connects to the energy within the Earth and allows that nurturing energy to bring a sense of peace into your body. Try the Grounding Meditation to activate that wise Earth Energy.Noticing the energy around your body and bringing a bit of space between you and the situation is also deeply healing. Each person has their own energy bubble, the aura, and when the aura is strong, you feel clear and are better able to discern what is your feeling and what another person's feeling. The aura is so important if you are an empath or a highly sensitive person! It helps you avoid merging with another person's energy so you can be in a good place to help them.The good news is just imagining a calming and comforting energy in the aura will help you. When you are back in your bubble, it is much easier to hold space for your loved one or the difficult situation you are facing. It is the best place for you to see their strength and cheer on their empowerment.If this is difficult for you, you can also try a Reiki session. Reiki is a gentle way of grounding and reconnecting to the flow of energy, harmonizing you with a state of peace and calm so that you can get clarity on the situation. Try the Self-Healing Meditation to see how even 5 minutes can help.The Reiki Ideals can help you get perspectiveAnger is a normal emotion when a boundary is crossed, and you or your loved one is threatened. It's a survival emotion that helps us escape danger. The problem is when anger gets stuck and becomes chronic, it just ends up burning us up.In Reiki, we practice the Reiki ideals, which are five principles for leading a happy life. The Reiki ideals are: just for today, I will let go of anger, I will let go of worry, I will be grateful for my many blessings, I will do my spiritual work honestly, and I'll be kind to myself and others.When you're facing a big issue, it can be very helpful to come back to each of the Reiki ideals and allow their wisdom to guide you to a more restful frame of mind. When you're able to come back to that space of clarity, it's much easier to see what your best action will be. When we're in the grips of anger, it is very difficult to know what the best action is because we become erratic and explosive. We still need to feel and acknowledge that anger, but we need to put it to work for us in a way that will be constructive and productive to our ultimate goals. This can be difficult when it involves somebody we care about because we have anger but also vulnerability and maybe worry. When you work through the Reiki ideals step by step, all the way to kindness, you end up getting clarity and peace along the way. So that when you take action, which anger requires, you are taking the best action possible that will help the situation and bring harmony to yourself and others. You can learn more about the Reiki ideals in Geneva's book The Secret Art of Happiness: How to Change Your Life with the Reiki Ideals.

Laurie Huston from News for the Heart is talking with physicist Tom Campbell about Creating New Years Intentions. We like to discuss Intentions over Resolutions.This Year Tom added some great insight into what Intentions are. One of the biggest things is that You Care. If you don't care about the people of your Intentions or What you want to change about Yourself, it becomes much more difficult.Thinking about your Intentions once won't manifest what you want. You need to play with your Intentions several times a day. BE the Intention rather than doing behavior modification.Willpower alone isn't enough. If you haven't discovered the fears that are prohibiting what your Intentions are, then you are working against your Ego. And it isn't helping you Grow Up.Sometimes it also is about shifting your Perspective. Often we see things as an obligation, and miss the Opportunity to experience the Meditative qualities or the Love that is the reason you want to change. Instead of manipulating others and even ourselves.Let your New Year's Intentions come from your Heart. Another Powerful discussion with Tom Campbell! We're Getting to the Heart of what Matters!
Marriages that weather the storms of life are a rarity. When we throw in the demands of caring for a child with special needs, most marriages just don't make it. We know as parents we need to invest in our spouse, but how do we do that when so much of our attention is devoted to our children with special needs? In Episode 70, we interviewed Todd and Kristin Evans on how they cultivate a healthy marriage. Dr. Todd and Kristin Evans are award-winning authors, speakers, and parents of two children with complex needs. Their new book, How to Build a Thriving Marriage as You Care for Children with Disabilities will release in May 2024 by Baker Books.

Pastor Robert Marshall, diving into Mark 4:38 with a message entitled, "Don't You Care?"
Carl Giammarese, one of the founding and still current members of The Buckinghams, sat down and visited with us. We've toured many summers with the Buckinghams and have gotten to know Carl very well. Even so it's such a pleasure to visit and hear things we still didn't know about and delve a little deeper. The Buckinghams rocked the '60's and beyond with a sound that ultimately would help blaze the path and open the doors for their fellow Chicago musicians trying to make it big, the group "Chicago". Hits like "Kind of a Drag", "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy", "Don't You Care?" and of course "Susan" cemented The Buckinghams as one of the top groups producing hits in the '60's. Enjoy the episode.

This Yur-End Beck Did it Better has decided to celebrate the holiday spirit by complicating our listeners with the best podcast about Nine Inch Nails, and the 122nd greatest album of all time, The Downward Spiral. But before we desecrate you we get an amazing voicemail about whether it's ok to play explicit lyrics in front of kids. We also become the best Christmas podcast when we talk about attending children's Christmas concerts, professional Christmas lights, and purchasing holiday inflatables with rebates. We also discuss personal intimacy in the champagne room, in futuristic vehicles, and at Walgreens next to the gingerbread village kits. Then at (53:00) we discuss Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock album, The Downward Spiral. We talk about classical music's influence on Trent Reznor, leitmotifs, and the best songs where one person played all the instruments. We also discuss a hypothetical relationship between Trent Reznor and Dave Coulier, how to make a rusty nail cocktail, and whether Closer is the second sexiest song ever. Next week the guys plan to ramble on about Moby Dick for 90 minutes when we become the best Led Zeppelin podcast and cover their second studio album, Led Zeppelin II. Also, we'd appreciate it if you'd share this episode with a friend. Hurry! Don't You Care!

When I was a junior product manager, just starting out, I had to learn to get consensus on projects before the company would sign off on them and before the team would start working on them. It was a two-stage process: Get sign-off from the higher-ups and get sign-off from the team that would be working on it. Here was the catch: Nobody worked for me. I had no authority over anyone at all, just a head on my shoulders, some data analysis and visualization skills, and a big mouth that wanted to tell people what to do. It didn't always work out. So, I had to learn… how do you influence people, change their opinions and their behaviors, when you don't have any place in the hierarchy and nothing to threaten them with? There's no hint of them losing their jobs if they disagree with you and that's a good thing! Can you imagine an immature person firing a project manager because he or she didn't get what they wanted? I can imagine it, but it's not a pretty picture. Anyway, I learned that it's really not too difficult to influence without authority. It comes down to you having showing three basic characteristics:1. You CARE about the person you're talking to and trying to persuade. 2. You CARE about your customers and the people you're trying to help.3. You CARE about the company you work for, their bottom line and their strategy.Let's get into what caring looks like in practice in this podcast episode.

Host Frances Hall of ACAPcommunity and co-host AJ Kerley of Pace @ Home, Hickory, NC welcome Mary Remmes, Caregiver Coach as they discuss “What's Fueling You as You Care for Your Aging Parent?” Caring for an aging parent or loved one can be extremely challenging. When we're a caregiver, we are consumed by our loved one's day-to-day needs and our stresses, and we rarely think about what may be “fueling” our actions. Understanding our motivations, goals, and emotions is critical in how we experience this phase of our lives. Developing awareness of how we choose to think about every situation we face with an aging loved one helps us recognize our strengths and helps provide us with coping tools we may not have realized we have.

Sometimes we're just driving along life's scenic journey enjoying the view and suddenly out of nowhere we intersect with something we never saw coming. We get the call the changes the entire trajectory of our intended destination. That is often what it can feel like when we are thrust into a caregiving role. Today's guest knows this first hand. Aaron Blight, Ed.D., joins us to share his personal story of becoming a family caregiver and how it forever changed his life. Dr. Blight is the author of When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative, and not only is he a professional expert in this field, he's been there, done that – personally. As founder of Caregiving Kinetics, Dr. Blight has made it his mission to Crack the Caregiving Code! In this must listen power-hour of enlightYOUment, he shares how caregiving suddenly took its detour into his family's life, why he wrote his book, When Caregiving Calls, and how prevalent caregiving is in society. We use the metaphoric road trip of life and in doing so, we realize there are many routes one can take to reach a destination, and the same is true with caregiving; Dr. Blight shares the uniqueness of each caregiving situation and that it is not a one-size-fits-all approach. He emphasizes self-care, and even with life's confusing roundabouts, we don't always get it right the first time – try “try again” and be easy on yourself regarding your caregiving learning curve – he cites, “showing, guessing, trying” (you'll have to listen)! Dr. Blight offers the roadmap caregivers are seeking and inspiration they need. But this hour addresses this conversation from all angles, both giving and receiving care. We also recognize the fear factor surrounding care – and the statistics tell us we should certainly address these. But there's something else we should address that often doesn't receive the attention it deserves. It is more typically upstaged with the challenges, emotional and physical exhaustion. And that is the unexpected and inimitable rewards that arise from caregiving. Hidden amidst the confusion and the hustle and bustle are little pockets of perfection where time stands still and beautiful gifts of love are exchanged. THIS cannot be taken nor duplicated and it forever lines the heart with special depths of tender devotion that is a shared experience between the caregiver and receiver that transcends a lifetime and fleeces the soul with pearls of joy. What a beautiful gift to both give and receive. But that's the beauty of gifts – they bring delight to both the giver and recipient. And so, it is with caregiving too. Aaron Blight, Ed.D., is an international speaker and consultant on caregiving, aging, and healthcare. He serves as an Adjunct Professor of Healthcare Management and Public Health at Shenandoah University. He has served as a family caregiver, home care company owner, caregiving scholar, and leader at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

James Holvay grew up listening to R&B music in Chicago and started writing songs at the tender age of 12. He ended up penning a #1 smash for the Buckinghams, “Kind of a Drag.” That was followed up by a trio of hits: “Don’t You Care,” “Hey Baby (They’re Playing Our Song)” and “Susan” - all Top 20 smashes in the span of a year. He was also a part of The Mob, a group of soul-devotees that played a ton of shows and had success in several cities in the US before disbanding in 1980. Four decades out of the musical spotlight, Holvay is back with a salute to the Windy City Sound on an EP called Sweet Soul Song. Everything is authentic, from the music, which sounds right out of 1966, to the cover, which mimics a classic album from Gene Chandler.We chat getting that perfect drum sound by recording...in his kitchen!Also, he tells us the stories behind the Buckinghams' hits and what is was like working with producer James Guercio, who went on to bigger success with Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago.
In Mark 4, Jesus famously shows himself to be Lord of the Storm, but this is not merely a raw display of power. There's something bigger than the storm going on with his disciples: "Teacher, don't you care?!" Are you apathetic, Jesus? Do our lives not matter? He is actively cultivating something that was lacking in his followers: awe. The storm had their awe... but did Jesus? Without deep reverence and awe of Christ, he will never be a life-transforming joy to us. Without it, our faith will remain peripheral, merely conceptual, and even perfunctory. So how do we recover that awe and - with it - our joy? Let's talk about Jesus asleep in the boat. Discussion Questions That kid was talking to the biggest skateboarder of all time and he didn't know it! Have you ever been in the midst of greatness and didn't know it? In the recorded-video sermon, Pastor Russ gave some rationale why you can't take this miracle in Mark 4:35-41 as myth. Did you find his reasons compelling? Do you accept all of the Bible's miracles as historical events? None of these things happened? Some but not all of the miracles happened? Don't You Care? When have you wondered if God cared? Was your despair over His apparent absence or that He didn't care? Were you able to express that to Him, or did you wallow in isolated silence? Can you be honest with God about what you think of Him? Jesus led them into a storm. When has following Jesus taken you into scary territory? Have you ever been burned, short-changed, or suffered while following Jesus? Did that moment make you jaded or cynical? Where Is Your Faith? When we are under pressure, in the vice, or threatened, our insides come out – we get exposed. When has this happened to you? When you went through one of your most stressful moments in life, what came out of you? Talk about a time when you weathered a storm, and it made you closer to Jesus and stronger in your faith. What exactly happened that made you stronger in your faith? Who Is This? The disciples knew of storms, but they didn't know of the power with them there in the boat. Have you ever been overwhelmed by God, beyond anything you've ever experienced? When have you truly been in awe of God? When have you been covered and protected by God's ability and presence, even when you were facing something that threatened to destroy you or your way of life? Encourage someone in your group with your experience: What was it like for you to trust in a hard moment? Gospel: The wind and the waves crashed on Jesus so we could be protected. Jonah was saved from drowning and so were the disciples. Even though our faith is weak, God chooses not to squash us. Rather, He encourages our faith along.
“Everyone has their own process, and everything happens at the exact right moment it’s supposed to.” What a beautiful reminder from a wise friend who I’m very excited to share with you.She, herself, has an awesome podcast and has shared her journey and podcasting experience with me as I’ve traversed my own. It seemed only fitting to get to dig up some big things and explore with someone who had a hand in helping and encouraging me to get this little pod off the ground.So, in this episode we hear from Ming Shelby who has been a wonderful mentor, to say the least.

This week, Rayna Neises, your host, talks with Dr. Aaron Blight. Dr. Blight is the author of “When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative.” He is also the founder of a consulting firm dedicated to those who care for the aging population. In addition to his professional knowledge and expertise, he draws from his firsthand experience as a family caregiver for his mother-in-law. The following insights are shared:A transition to family caregiver can happen suddenly due to an accident or unexpected diagnosis. However, it can also happen gradually over time as you begin to perform more and more tasks and eventually realize that the relationship has changed.Although everyone has their own individual caregiver journey, there are common challenges and experiences that they all experience.Caregiving by its very nature is reactive, but there are things that you can do that will make the situation better and easier for both you and your loved one.Reflection questions can help the family caregiver to think about things that they would rather not and to apply examples from other's situations to their own journey.Two ways for family caregivers to get help:outsource tasks to provide needed respiteself-careBoth are important so that you can be your best self and be effective in the caregiving role.Participating in virtual family caregiver workshops can provide some anonymity and allow for some raw honesty to come through.We pay for competent care, but we yearn for people who are mindful of our humanity and who can provide compassion and empathy as well.
Dr. Aaron Blight has had a lifetime of caregiving experience. Both personal and professional. He took what he learned as a family caregiver and started a career in professional caregiving. His latest endeavor has taken him from the owner of a homecare business, to being the founder of Caregiving Kinetics, and author of When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative. Why should you listen? Because there are over 53 MILLION Americans providing unpaid care for a family member. And 83% of those caregivers are experience MORE stress with the onset of Covid-19. And chances are very good that if you are not already a family caregiver, you're going to be. We had a great conversation today about: Some of the struggles family caregivers face Unanticipated rewards of being a family caregiver Suggestions for managing guilt/resentment family caregivers can feel What dying teaches you about living Why you should read his book Find Aaron on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter Home Instead Senior Care Services, Visiting Angels
“When you start to reconsider your assumptions about your life and start to look at caregiving differently you start to find the rewards of caregiving.” Today’s podcast episode is the second of a two part conversation with Dr Aaron Blight. Dr Blight is the author of the new book, When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse or Aging Relative. Today Dr Blight and I continue our conversation on caregiving. In this episode we talk about accepting the role of caregiver and how to make it fit in with all the other roles you hold. We also discuss being present with our loved one and taking care of ourselves. Listen more on fully stepping into your caregiver role.

“The wife may start to ask herself, Who am I now? Am I more of a caregiver than a wife? Today’s podcast episode is the first of a two part conversation with Dr Aaron Blight Dr Blight is the author of the new book, When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse or Aging Relative. In this episode Dr Blight speaks with me on the issues we have in identifying as caregivers. Usually we are thrust into helping a loved one and we become a caregiver without even realizing it. Once we realize we are caregivers, we have some decisions to make on how we will go forward into that role. Listen more on how we create an identity as a caregiver and how that process is one of the most important things to do in order to accept the life we live.

I’ve been looking forward to coming back to this space and this community of caring, with you all, after wrapping up that strange year that 2020 was. I am grateful that the July-quarantined Randi felt that this podcast was a thing that she was compelled to do. I’ve gotten to meet, reconnect, dig deeper, and share folks with you who are making positive impacts in this world and living purposeful lives.I very grateful to have connected with today’s guest and am excited to share her with you. I was lucky enough to have a very cool conversation with Erin Claire Jones, who has been featured in Forbes and Nylon, and uses Human Design to help thousands of individuals and companies step into their work and their lives as their truest selves and to their highest potential.For those who are new to it, in Erin’s words, Human Design is a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science that sheds light on a person’s energetic makeup, as well as specific tools one can use to live at their happiest, healthiest, highest potential. Listen in and Erin will explain in further detail the magic that she helps folks understand in themselves in order to better align their lives with their purpose.She gets into how she started, by putting Human Design to work in her own life and ended up showing the world a new way to work, a new path towards success, and a new perspective on living authentically.I recently grabbed myself a customized Blueprint from Erin, which is a customized, personal guide of one’s Human Design. That was both revealing and validating. And couldn’t wait to hear more about her journey in serving as a trail guide of sorts, providing tools for folks to live to their greatest potential for the greatest good. You’ve got to give a fuck or two to be doing that kind of work in the world, Right? By the way, keep listening to hear how you can get a discount for your very own Blueprint from Erin.During this chat Erin helps us understand how human design can offer insight into what is possible for not only individuals, but companies, and partnerships as well - by giving insight into who they are and how to care more about themselves and those around them in ways that are immediately applicable.Key Talking Points of the Episode:Meet Erin Claire JonesHuman Design: A tool for better understanding of self and othersTypes, Profiles, and Inner AuthorityErin’s journeyErin’s mindset Inspiring self-trust and collaborative teamsHelping others find their purpose Erin’s InfluencesKey Milestones of the Episode:[04:30] Human Design in a nutshell[06:00] Meet Erin Claire Jones[09:00] High level breakdown of Human Design[09:30] Human Design Type: Generators & Manifesting Generators[12:00] Human Design Type: Projectors[15:00] Human Design Type: Manifestors[16:30] Human Design Type: Reflectors[17:30] Erin’s Journey: Why Human Design?[20:00] A better understanding of self[22:00] Erin’s mindset and self-care[25:30] Human Design and Partnership[28:00] Inner authority and profile[36:00] Helping others find their purpose [37:30] Supporting teams and business with Human Design[43:45] Erin’s Influences and support system[49:00] Erin’s adviceStandout Quotes from the Episode:“I think why Human Design made sense to me is it just felt like a bridge. It felt like it satisfied all my cosmic loves.”“Human Design is such a clear tool, in not just understanding themselves on an individual level, but in terms of how to best work together collectively.”“We might recognize the thing before the world does. So, just trust that, you know? And stay aligned and know that the recognition will come at the right time.”“When we are in integrity as messengers and leaders and teachers, that is felt.”“I was trying to be all the things I wasn’t.”“What I love about Human Design is I think it inspires self-trust.”“It’s not a belief system, it’s a tool.

A new MP3 sermon from Providence Bible Presbyterian Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Master, Don't You Care? Subtitle: Fearless Foundations Series Speaker: Rev. Leonard W. Pine, D.Min. Broadcaster: Providence Bible Presbyterian Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 12/27/2020 Bible: Mark 4:35-41 Length: 36 min.
Dr. Aaron Blight, international speaker and consultant on caregiving and founder of Caregiving Kinetics, discusses his book, "When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative" with Carol Zernial and Milton Glueck filling in for Ron Aaron.
No question about it; a lot of terrible things have happened this year. And Yeah, we could just say 2020 was shit. But was it all that way? Or did it make you have to look at and try connecting with yourself and others a little harder, a little longer, and maybe a little more honestly? Sure. We can say the chaos of 2020 has muddied everything and that we’re just trudging through, or we could say it made certain things a lot more clear. Or we could go with both. It’s probably both.On that note, I was energized and inspired by this conversation in this episode, learning more about our guest, and I can’t wait for you to hear it. He is someone who encourages me to think, and who is endlessly curious. This week I share with you a chat that I was fortunate enough to have had with Yoshino, a visual artist, photographer, and podcaster extraordinaire among other things.I was originally introduced and then re-introduced to Yoshino by an amazing mutual friend of ours, and he graciously let me pick his brain about podcasting early on in my journey with “You Care Too Much.” Somehow we ended up on the topic of empathy and I couldn’t not have him on the show after that.Yoshino hosts the Artist Decoded podcast, which he has been doing for the past five years now. He started it as an exploration of self, as an artist, and explores the inner workings, perspectives, vulnerabilities, and everything in between with other artists and experts - digging into the who and why of some of the most creative folks around. Yoshino is also co-founder of the Los Angeles-based arts collective, NOH/WAVE, which includes an online academy of workshops taught by an arsenal of talented artists. It’s very cool.One of my favorite things about Yoshino, Artist Decoded, and really all that he does is the element of human connection that seems to permeate throughout. It was at the beginning of last week’s episode that I was expressing how much more important connection feels right now, though it’s always been important… And Yoshino gives us insight into his perspective on authenticity, intentionality, and a mindset of honesty when it comes to both ourselves and others; all key ingredients for meaningful connection.Key Talking Points of the Episode:Meet YoshinoBeing present versus phoning it in Having intention for the things that you doEmpathy and masculine dualityArtistic viabilityHuman connection & vulnerabilityInfluences on Yoshino’s lifeKey Milestones of the Episode:[04:30] Meet Yoshino[05:10] Being present vs. phoning it in[9:00] From second-hand values to personal intuition[11:00] Being intentional & Deliberate[14:40] Digging into Artist Decoded[16:19] Effective communication [17:00] Multiple truths & empathy[19:50] Being a lover and a fighter [21:45] Artistic viability as a way of life[27:00] Being a life-long learner[29:18] Dedication[36:00] Yoshino’s mindset; balance, honesty, discipline [39:00] Vulnerability, authenticity, and perspective[44:30] Openness and human connection[51:20] People who have left a lasting impact on Yoshino[56:00] Discussion and healthy relationships[59:500] Something Yoshino is interested in trying[01:05:30] Organizations Yoshino supports Standout Quotes from the Episode:“I think that the more that I started listening to second-hand values of other people, and people’s projections of their internal mental structures on me, that’s when I think I stopped listening to my gut.”“I’m very deliberate about my pursuit of knowledge.”“I find that my happiest times are when I’m able to learn, you know, and whether that’s learn from people or learn from a book.”“I think a lot of times we’re conditioned to chase results, and the journey is actually more important.”“I feel like mindset is about discipline, honesty, balance, and being able to communicate that effectively to people that you love and so on and so forth.”“You’ll learn a lot about humanity by just sitting there and sharing that space.”“What is my contribution to this planet? How can I help in the best way that I can? And I think everyone has their own way of helping - our hearts beat for different things.”“That’s the difference; to build healthy relationships is you have discussions about things that you differ on and not try to find faults in the person for having their opinion on something.” Mentioned in the Episode:NOH/WAVE AcademyBlack Futures LabNational Bail Fund Network Connect with Yoshino:Yoshino StudiosYoshino Studios on InstagramArtist Decoded PodcastArtist Decoded on InstagramNOH/WAVENOH/WAVE on InstagramNOH/WAVE Academy If you love this episode, please rate and review it on Apple/iTunes!

Connection is just feeling more important that ever, and this week’s guest does not disappoint on that front. I was lucky enough to catch up with Nurse Abi, who is a most essential activist amidst this pandemic and ever-changing social climate.Nurse ABi was born and raised in Metro Manila in the Philippines but has resided on stolen Ohlone Land (which is more widely known as Alameda County) for more than twenty years.She is an essential healthcare worker on the front lines, with more than 12 years of experience as a registered nurse. When she’s not in a medical center, Nurse ABI is a COVID Space Strategist and is currently pursuing a graduate degree in Population Health Nursing. She is leveraging her experience, both publicly and digitally to educate well-meaning, at-risk communities to reduce COVID transmissions until a vaccine is available for all.Nurse ABi provides regular content on Instagram, can be found safeguarding folks from COVID exposure from protests to picnics, and is a not-so-secret admirer of a certain US Health Official, Dr. Fauchi. I’m looking forward to sharing this episode with you, because Nurse ABi is all heart and there’s really no better timing than the middle of a pandemic, during flu season nonetheless, to hear from a healthcare professional creating ripples upon ripples for humanity when humanity can feel bleak.I’m thrilled to introduce you to THE East Bay’s crusader for CDC compliance and self-proclaimed defender of human dignity, my lovely friend, Nurse ABi.Key Talking Points of the Episode:Population health strategiesCOVID exposure reduction & the ripple effectFamily, religion, and other things that have shaped Nurse Abi’s caringFolks who inspire Nurse AbiNurse ABi’s pandemic self-care tipsKey Milestones of the Episode:[05:00] Meet Nurse ABi[07:00] Supporting communities during the pandemic[9:00] Being present during protests[11:00] Being a holistic healthcare provider[14:00] Nurse Abi’s mindset; no half-assing[16:00] Nurse Abi’s inspiration; Dr. Fauci & Pope Francis[20:00] Possible hang-ups for people who care a lot, according to Nurse ABi[22:00] Public commitment [26:00] Modifying your life during a pandemic[28:00] The ripple effect[30:00] Raised by a single mother, and growing up Catholic[32:00] Getting into nursing[36:00] How Nurse Abi takes care of herself, while she’s taking care of others[38:00] Dignity for all[41:00] An organization Nurse Abi supports[43:00] Where to find Nurse ABi[45:00] Closing thoughtsStandout Quotes from the Episode:“You can still be vocally expressive, while still wearing your mask properly, or social distancing”“If there’s something that you’re privileged with, whether it’s your skin color or internet access, or education or your language proficiency - there’s always something to do to make it easier for other people.”“But then with the frustrations that the COVID guidelines or recommendations are putting on people, I felt so frustrated to see people not know what to do.”“I guess my natural tendency of translating that to easier terms for the. I guess for the lay person to be able to digest and understand.”“I feel like to protesters, I almost feel like it won't really hit further if they don't see me physically there. And for them, feeling the presence of a nurse among themselves, understanding where their pains are and understanding where there can be a bridge between COVID reduction and still like honoring what's in their heart as a human person.”“I want them to just know that they’re just these little modifications that you can fold into your flow and still have less risk for COVID and still have a little bit of what you want in your life.”“I’m just holding onto the fact that the ripple effect is real… All of us are little pebbles.” Mentioned in the EpisodeWhite Coats for Black Lives Connect with Nurse ABiNurse Abi on InstagramNurse Abi can be found on TikTok: @nurse_abi If you love this episode, please rate and review it on Apple/iTunes!

I cannot wait for you to hear this week’s guest who may be a bit of a kindred spirit to some of you animal lovers out there. Her empathy spans from human to canine. It's Samantha Johnson of Pack Life LA. She's a rad dog trainer. And I'm going to go ahead and call her up puppy pack activist.Samantha started her business with the help of her business partner and pup, Baloo. It was catalysed by her rescue pit bull, Lily, who was abused, reactive, and transformed into a completely different dog after being rehabilitated and socialized in a pack alongside Baloo.Samantha has shadowed and worked with various trainers and was a trainer at Caesar Millan's Dog Psychology. From pre-med to dog training, Samantha's journey is one of somebody who cares deeply about everyday kindness, healthy relationships between humans and animals, and creating realistic goals and expectations for both people and pups. Samantha and her family always have a foster among the pack, and one of her passions is creating more awareness for our relationships to our dogs, more fostering opportunities, and positive impact beyond the home pack life. She helps dogs, families, rescues, and prison populations. Yep. You heard that right. And prison populations. It's just as interesting as it sounds.As a former dog mom and aspiring to one day again be a dog mom, I've learned a ton from following Samantha and Pack Life LA online and I think you will enjoy what this empathetic soul has to say in this episode of the podcast.Key Talking Points of the Episode:Meet Samantha JohnsonBeing born empatheticPrivilege and the responsibility of those who have it to create more equity in the worldThe intersection of human and dog psychologyTwo birds one stone; dog and inmate rehabilitationThe positive influences in Samantha’s lifeSamantha’s advice to people who care a lotKey Milestones of the Episode:[04:00] Meet Samantha Johnson[07:00] Samantha’s entrance into the rescue world[10:00] An innate sensitivity to the world[13:00] Having privilege is having a responsibility to help others[15:00] Getting dogs for the right reasons[17:00] The intersection of human and dog psychology [19:30] Samantha’s passion; Marley’s Mutts Pawsitive Change Program[22:00] Dog and inmate rehabilitation [25:00] Men’s prison vs girls’ juvenile programs[29:00] The impact of dog training in prison[30:00] Awareness; the dog at the end of the leash is a reflection of how you’re feeling[32:00] Samantha’s mindset and the power of the consumer[37:00] Everyday kindness, and someone Samantha looks up to[39:00] How inmates have changed Samantha’s life[43:00] Samantha’s advice to listeners; rest[46:00] Boundaries, balance, and letting yourself lean on others[49:00] More about supporting the Pawsitive Change ProgramStandout Quotes from the Episode:“I think that when you’re more affected by things, or open, you have more of craving to change it.”“And I just remember being like, I'm going to change the world. Like, I always like wanted to do that but had no idea, you know, how I would.”“From a young age, I understood that that was I was born lucky. I didn't do anything to deserve this. So, if someone else is born in a different situation, they didn't do anything to deserve that, but they had a harder deck. So, like, it's my responsibility to help them with that.”“You know, we really just don't necessarily take the time to understand dogs… I mean, literally you could scroll your Instagram and the amount of memes you see that like honestly encourage unhealthy behavior in dogs. Or I think nowadays, we really think that all dogs can handle being our emotional support and it's just not- or they're being labeled as that or being required to do that and it's, you know, it sounds harsh but it's really unfair to put on all dogs.”“All anyone really needs is knowing that somebody cares about them.”“Prison is a great way to make a criminal to be honest… It’s a problem when prison becomes a business, which it is in America.”“If a dog has separation anxiety, the best thing you can do is help it be ok not being around you. Not cuddle it and worry about why it has separation anxiety and allow it to be next to you all the time.”“The dog at the end of the leash is a reflection of how you’re feeling.” Mentioned in the Episode:Marley’s Mutts Pawsitive Change ProgramPawsitive Change Program on Instagram Connect with Samantha:Pack Life LAPack Life LA on InstagramSamantha Johnson on Instagram If you love this episode, please rate and review it on Apple/iTunes!

When Caregiving Calls, are we going to be prepared? Caregiving doesn't usually call; for most of us, caregiving demands our immediate attention. Can we be prepared when that call comes? We're not a society that, in general, plans for or likes to discuss the end of our lives. However, with a little planning, conversation, and thoughtful consideration, we can help everyone when caregiving becomes necessary. Seventy percent of us will need care before our life is over. Unfortunately, most of us seem to think we'll be in the other thirty percent. Understanding that it's likely, we'll need care in the end; we'll be prepared for this necessity. In this episode, I talk to Aaron Blight, Ed.D. He is the author of the brand new book When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative. Rooted in his personal experiences, Aaron's passion for supporting caregivers is vast. Aaron was a caregiver, the owner of a large home care company, and a leader at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This passion and experience guided him to get his doctorate in the study of caregiving as a phenomenon of social science. He has excellent advice on handling caregiving demands on our lives.

This week, I had the privilege of chatting with Blair Imani; historian, outspoken advocate and activist, and a dynamic public speaker. She's also my favorite Pokémon and Star Trek enthusiast, and all-around queen of pop culture analogies. She's the author of two historical books, she centers women and girls’ global, black communities, and the LBGTQ community.Blair provides publicly accessible, weekly lessons on Instagram, and then she takes that education to a whole new level on Patreon. I'm so grateful for this chat. And I'm excited to get into this episode because Blair is, as she would say, an active participant in “making the world less terrible.” I'm going to say she's more actively making the world more accessible, inclusive, educated, kind, and all-around a nicer place to exist and connect.From getting arrested at protests to understanding that the way we show up may look different than the way somebody else does, Blair and I chat about the different ways that activism can look, as well as having the grace to accept and encourage folks wherever they are on their journey. Tune in for a good one, friends.Key Talking Points of the Episode:Meet Blair ImaniBeing an active participant in making the world less terribleHarm reductionBlair’s passion; educationBeing grounded in authentic humilityThe positive impact on Blair’s lifeBlair’s advice to people who care a lotKey Milestones of the Episode:[04:00] Meet Dr. Blair Imani[08:00] Blair’s background[14:20] Being an active participant in making the world less terrible[15:00] Harm reduction[18:00] What activism is NOT, via Lizzie McGuire[20:30] There’s always more to learn[24:00] Blair’s focus; education[27:00] Being authentic and kind[31:00] Human interaction is a kaleidoscope of opportunity[34:30] The loneliness of being authentically you[37:30] Getting comfortable being uncomfortable, when it comes to activism[45:00] Two traps that folks who care can fall into[48:00] How activism can look different for different people[49:40] Someone Blair looks up to[54:00] The Refrigerator of Justice[1:00:00] Something that Blair would love to try[1:04:00] An organization that Blair supportsStandout Quotes from the Episode:“But the fact is, you know, I was very much raised with this idea that if you do have more access than someone else, then it's your duty to use that in service of good.”“I think that it's just a better way of living. When you care about the people around you."“But we all bloom at our own pace. And if we think about ourselves as flowers, with many pedals who bloomed to the extent that we were nourished.” "Equity looks like people getting what they need to be successful and to thrive.”“And it's also, you know, a lesson about how we can all make the world less terrible. And the reason why I say less terrible is because it's pretty terrible. And if you say, ‘Make the world a better place,’ that can be so abstract for people because there has never been a perfect world and we have to create that together.”Mentioned in this EpisodeMuslims for Progressive Values Connect with Blair InstagramBlair’s link tree If you love this episode, please rate and review it on Apple/iTunes!

In the thick of it, it may not feel like both powerlessness and power are universal experiences, but we’ve all been there. The guest on this episode talks about how, ultimately, we are in control of feeling into our own power and it really all comes down to the stories we tell ourselves.Dr. Payal Sharma - who studies power and stress in organizations and teaches at the Lee Business School at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas - joins me on the show to chat about power versus powerlessness, posttraumatic growth, and how she shows up in full caring with a mindset of presence.Dr. Sharma’s current research portfolio includes examining power dynamics in the hip hop and rap industry, and gender backlash against agreeable, vulnerable, and empathetic male leaders. She collaborates and brings said expertise to the forefront of ideas around relationship dynamics and personal power in partnership with some other thought leaders you may know of, including Mark Groves and James Silvas. I always learn so much from talking to Dr. Sharma and think you'll enjoy listening to this juicy and empowering episode.

But it's really the pathway, I think, to a deeper connection in the work setting and in our lives.”“For me, a cornerstone in any meaningful relationship that I have is if we lean in and we connect. Again, you don't have to agree,but you have to reveal yourself.”“The only person that gets to decide your worth and your value is yourself.”Mentioned in the Episode:UNLV Convocation 2020, Faculty KeynoteThe Embracing Project Connect with Dr. Payal Sharma:Website If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review "You Care Too Much" on Apple/iTunes!

Have you ever been told that you care too much or been labeled “sensitive,” like it wasn't a good thing? It's quite possible that you’re someone who gives a fuck. And you're in the right place, kindred spirit.In this very first episode of "You Care Too Much," I share a little bit about who I am and why I think sharing more stories about purpose driven humans has the potential to shift the cultural narrative. I talk about empowering more people to lead with empathy, vulnerability & caring, while being in community with kindness-forward individuals and feeling seen as our authentic selves.And there may be a special guest... or two.

This Week Dan Dangler (Area Director of Young Life) spoke on. Don't You Care? This is a profound question we ask God all throughout our life.

This week we are going to take a deep dive into Mark's account of Jesus calming the Storm.

Favorite Success Quotes “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care” Key Points 1. Show that You Care As men, we have a pathological need to feel important, to feel special, to feel powerful. To fill this need, most of us walk through our lives searching for ways to make other people see how important we are. We work ourselves to death at jobs that we hate so that we can afford to buy things we don’t need. We stay in relationships that we should have left years ago because the person that we are dating is attractive and popular. We live our lives for the approval and validation of others while forgetting one obvious truth. No one cares. Seriously… No one cares about how much money you have, how hot your girl friend is, or how many horsepower your car has. The people in your life are struggling with plenty of trials and struggles as it is, do you really think they’re going to care that you bought a “Luxury Class” Mercedes instead of a Standard? What people want and desperately need isn’t another person who’s caught up in their own lives.. What they need is someone who cares, someone who listens, someone who is real. The people in your life are dying to connect, they are dying for someone who is real, they are dying for someone who genuinely cares about them and is willing to listen and be present. If you really want to impress someone (which shouldn’t be your focus to begin with), then show them how much you care, don’t show them how much you have. 2. Vulnerability is the Key to Freedom If you are reading this right now, then chances are good that you’ve been hurt. Some of you have been hurt so deeply and so profoundly that you have never shared your pain with another living soul. And it sucks… When you’ve experienced trauma and pain in your life, it’s easy to get stuck in your head, to become isolated and believe that you are alone or that no one would love you if they knew the truth. In an effort to protect yourself and others, you put up a wall between yourself and the people that you love, closing yourself off from the people who care for you the most. And then you let the pain sit inside of you and simmer. Until one day, that simmer turns into a boil and you find yourself exploding in ways that you never thought possible. Until one day, the wounds have become so deep and so painful that they change who you are. This is the path that most men take… Most men refuse to seek help, guidance of support in times of trauma and suffering. They think they have everything figured out and do their best to act the part. But I’ll let you in on a little secret…. You are killing yourself and you are killing your relationships. The past only has power over us so long as we allow it to. When you are willing to embrace vulnerability, trust the people in your life, and open up about your deepest fears, regrets, and experiences, your whole life will change. For Lewis, this meant opening up about the sexual abuse he experienced as a child. For nearly 25 years, he’d kept the pain bottled inside until one day, it all came out on a basketball court and he got into a vicious fight with another player. The encounter shocked and humbled him and made him realize that he needed to talk to someone and he needed to get help. And so he did, he opened up to a select group of people about what had happened to him as a child and, much to his surprise, the response he received was nothing but love. People told him that they could trust him more, that they felt more connected, and that they respected him on a deeper level because of the pain and trauma he experienced. As time went on and he shared his truth with more and more people, he eventually arrived at a point in his life where he could share his story without feeling the pain in the same way. Through sharing his authentic truth and being vulnerable, he healed the wounds of the past. But what about you? What are you holding onto that you need to let go? What pain has been keeping you back and weighing you down? I want you to write that thing down right now and commit that before the day is over, you will find someone to talk to, even if it’s a professional. I promise that if you are willing to take this scary leap, your life will never be the same. 3. Why Are You Doing What You’re Doing? One of the biggest mistakes that we as men make is that we detach our what from our why. We spend all of our time pursuing goals, dreams, and opportunities but we never really know why we do any of the things that we do. We hustle and grind all day long and for what? For most men, it’s for the paycheck or the status, but as many of you have already realized, this is never enough. You must have a strong and deep why for what you are doing that extends beyond yourself. If you want to live a truly extraordinary and exceptional life, then you must live your life for the greater good and not just yourself. Find ways to serve and love and improve the lives of others and your own life will be filled with joy, and love, and opportunities that you could never imagine. It might seem cliche and worn out, but there’s a great deal of truth to the adage that “Living is giving”. So let me ask you… What are you giving and why? 4. Pause, Breathe, and Smile You can read all of the books that have ever been written on the topic of emotional control, masculinity, and mastering yourself and, unfortunately, there will still be instances where you want to explode and rip someone’s head off. It’s just human nature. While you cannot control the initial flood of emotions that happens in these circumstances, you can control your reaction. When you start to feel these negative thoughts and emotions creeping into your mind and body, take a step back and notice them. Acknowledge them and be aware of them… Don’t try to fight them. Once you are aware of the internal dialogue and the reason for your emotional response, take 10 deep breaths and mentally detach yourself from the situation, doing your best to look at things through the lens of an objective observer. Then, once you have regained your center, look around you and smile. You are blessed and you have a lot to be grateful for. Smile and remember this. 5. It’s All About Finding the Balance In a world that seems to be driven by the “Hustle and Grind” mentality, it’s easy to lose balance and start living a life that is completely and utterly consumed by your work. When this happens, it’s important to take a step back and regain your inner balance. Life is seasonal. There are times where you will need to hustle, grind, and push forward. There are times where you need to take a step back and rest. Learn to differentiate between the two and your entire life will transform before your eyes.

It might seem cliche and worn out, but there’s a great deal of truth to the adage that “Living is giving”. So let me ask you… What are you giving and why? 4. Pause, Breathe, and Smile You can read all of the books that have ever been written on the topic of emotional control, masculinity, and mastering yourself and, unfortunately, there will still be instances where you want to explode and rip someone’s head off. It’s just human nature. While you cannot control the initial flood of emotions that happens in these circumstances, you can control your reaction. When you start to feel these negative thoughts and emotions creeping into your mind and body, take a step back and notice them. Acknowledge them and be aware of them… Don’t try to fight them. Once you are aware of the internal dialogue and the reason for your emotional response, take 10 deep breaths and mentally detach yourself from the situation, doing your best to look at things through the lens of an objective observer. Then, once you have regained your center, look around you and smile. You are blessed and you have a lot to be grateful for. Smile and remember this. 5. It’s All About Finding the Balance In a world that seems to be driven by the “Hustle and Grind” mentality, it’s easy to lose balance and start living a life that is completely and utterly consumed by your work. When this happens, it’s important to take a step back and regain your inner balance. Life is seasonal. There are times where you will need to hustle, grind, and push forward. There are times where you need to take a step back and rest. Learn to differentiate between the two and your entire life will transform before your eyes.
EPISODE 011: Black Hair, You Care! Black Hair, often synthesized, but heavily criticized is like no other hair in the world. It provides the gift of versatility and curse of potentially breaking a comb. Your best friends sit down to debunk the myths, stereotypes and tell a few tales of their own hair woes.

Favorite Success Quotes “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care” Key Points 1. Show that You Care As men, we have a pathological need to feel important, to feel special, to feel powerful. To fill this need, most of us walk through our lives searching for ways to make other people see how important we are. We work ourselves to death at jobs that we hate so that we can afford to buy things we don’t need. We stay in relationships that we should have left years ago because the person that we are dating is attractive and popular. We live our lives for the approval and validation of others while forgetting one obvious truth. No one cares. Seriously… No one cares about how much money you have, how hot your girl friend is, or how many horsepower your car has. The people in your life are struggling with plenty of trials and struggles as it is, do you really think they’re going to care that you bought a “Luxury Class” Mercedes instead of a Standard? What people want and desperately need isn’t another person who’s caught up in their own lives.. What they need is someone who cares, someone who listens, someone who is real. The people in your life are dying to connect, they are dying for someone who is real, they are dying for someone who genuinely cares about them and is willing to listen and be present. If you really want to impress someone (which shouldn’t be your focus to begin with), then show them how much you care, don’t show them how much you have. 2. Vulnerability is the Key to Freedom If you are reading this right now, then chances are good that you’ve been hurt. Some of you have been hurt so deeply and so profoundly that you have never shared your pain with another living soul. And it sucks… When you’ve experienced trauma and pain in your life, it’s easy to get stuck in your head, to become isolated and believe that you are alone or that no one would love you if they knew the truth. In an effort to protect yourself and others, you put up a wall between yourself and the people that you love, closing yourself off from the people who care for you the most. And then you let the pain sit inside of you and simmer. Until one day, that simmer turns into a boil and you find yourself exploding in ways that you never thought possible. Until one day, the wounds have become so deep and so painful that they change who you are. This is the path that most men take… Most men refuse to seek help, guidance of support in times of trauma and suffering. They think they have everything figured out and do their best to act the part. But I’ll let you in on a little secret…. You are killing yourself and you are killing your relationships. The past only has power over us so long as we allow it to. When you are willing to embrace vulnerability, trust the people in your life, and open up about your deepest fears, regrets, and experiences, your whole life will change. For Lewis, this meant opening up about the sexual abuse he experienced as a child. For nearly 25 years, he’d kept the pain bottled inside until one day, it all came out on a basketball court and he got into a vicious fight with another player. The encounter shocked and humbled him and made him realize that he needed to talk to someone and he needed to get help. And so he did, he opened up to a select group of people about what had happened to him as a child and, much to his surprise, the response he received was nothing but love. People told him that they could trust him more, that they felt more connected, and that they respected him on a deeper level because of the pain and trauma he experienced. As time went on and he shared his truth with more and more people, he eventually arrived at a point in his life where he could share his story without feeling the pain in the same way. Through sharing his authentic truth and being vulnerable, he healed the wounds of the past. But what about you? What are you holding onto that you need to let go? What pain has been keeping you back and weighing you down? I want you to write that thing down right now and commit that before the day is over, you will find someone to talk to, even if it’s a professional. I promise that if you are willing to take this scary leap, your life will never be the same. 3. Why Are You Doing What You’re Doing? One of the biggest mistakes that we as men make is that we detach our what from our why. We spend all of our time pursuing goals, dreams, and opportunities but we never really know why we do any of the things that we do. We hustle and grind all day long and for what? For most men, it’s for the paycheck or the status, but as many of you have already realized, this is never enough. You must have a strong and deep why for what you are doing that extends beyond yourself. If you want to live a truly extraordinary and exceptional life, then you must live your life for the greater good and not just yourself. Find ways to serve and love and improve the lives of others and your own life will be filled with joy, and love, and opportunities that you could never imagine. It might seem cliche and worn out, but there’s a great deal of truth to the adage that “Living is giving”. So let me ask you… What are you giving and why? 4. Pause, Breathe, and Smile You can read all of the books that have ever been written on the topic of emotional control, masculinity, and mastering yourself and, unfortunately, there will still be instances where you want to explode and rip someone’s head off.

Then, once you have regained your center, look around you and smile. You are blessed and you have a lot to be grateful for. Smile and remember this. 5.

Perfect Storm (“Lord, Don't You Care?”) based on Mark 4:35-41 calls us to consider our struggles in life. As part of the package of living in this world are the turbulences we encounter, sometimes these troubles appear strange and out of this world but in the spiritual realm they are not designed to destroy us but to make us strong because a faith that has not been tested cannot be trusted. Are you in a storm of life at this very moment? You are not there by accident but by your Father's design. He does not intend to hurt you even though you feel like shouting because your pain is so great. You are not alone though it feels that way now. I pray that this podcast blesses you.

Hipnótico sonido Sus singles de debut, “Graziah”, “Pan” o “Come As You Care” consiguieron colarse en los top 50 de artistas más virales de Estados Unidos en Spotify, mientras aquí, veíamos con asombro cómo Gabriela Casero, conocida artísticamente como MOW, daba recitales de electrónica envolvente y orgánica. Vamos, que Subterfuge vio el potencial de esta madrileña y la fichó inmediatamente. Ahora, saca su primer larga duración, Woman, así que vámonos hasta Madrid para desgranar este hipnótico sonido. # “Grasiah”. # “17”. # “Come as You Care”. # “Beaty”.

Self care doesn’t create self love. It comes out of self love. YOU create self care because YOU CARE. This is HOW... You OWN your self love. You’ll care for the things you really care about. You'll love the things you really love. “Eating well and exercise aren’t a guarantee of great health. They’re merely the expression of the great health that’s within you." 1. Own your self care from the INSIDE OUT. Stop “trying” to care for yourself from the outside in. Allow the CARE for you to care for YOU. Allow your SELF CARE to be the full expression of the CARE within your SELF. Are you expressing the incredible love and care that are on the inside of you? 2. Own your WHO, then from your “WHO”…DO. Experience your life. Date your day. 3. Own your NO by saying YES TO YOUR YES. Master the art of saying NO, which will allow you to own life…time. When you say YES TO YOUR YES, it'll allow you to own your YES. AND SAY YES TO LOVE. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L.

We're going to visit some great memories today with the chart-topping ‘60s hits from the Buckinghams. Their original lead guitarist, Carl Giammarese is here to tell us how it all began with their No. 1 Billboard hit, “Kind of a Drag”. They followed that with a string of hits including “Don't You Care” and “Hey, Baby They're Playing Our Song”. Billboard Magazine named them “The Most Listened To Band In America” and they went on to play The Ed Sullivan Show, The Smothers Brothers' Comedy Hour, and American Bandstand. They're still on the road today and we talk with Carl about the ‘60s and what they're doing now.

Retro 70s Rock Fusion Feel with this song. Fans of Phil Keaggy may appreciate the Phil Keaggy style lead guitar work ; a bright, overdriven electric guitar tone playing inventive, chromatic, melodic and bluesy 16th note phrases ( nobody compares to Phil's virtuoso playing!). The song has a very engaging Funky Rhodes Electric Piano( very 70's!), a warm groovin' Pop Bass playing syncopated 1/2 notes with tasteful fills, Fingerpicking Acoustic Guitars, and Nashville influenced drumming. The song has a very Retro 70s Rock Fusion Feel. The Outro has a delightful guitar jam.Time: 3:13Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1Peter 5:7Blessings, Shiloh Worship MusicWww.ShilohWorshipMusic.comOur Music Free on iTunes:http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/free-praise-and-worship/id436298678© 2012 Shiloh Worship Music Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1Peter 5:7* I Need More I Need More of Your MercyI Need More of Your LoveEverlasting Father From AboveChorus:I Know That You CareYou Care for All of My NeedsLike The Lilies Of the ValleyYou Provide All of My NeedsI Need More of Your PeaceYour Righteousness To IncreaseHoliness, Oh Father, Is What I Need!I Need Overcoming WisdomI Need Overcoming FaithI'm Looking To The SaviorFrom Heaven AboveSong StructureIntroBm C#m D EVersesA F#m A F#m D6/F# AChorusAmaj9 D2/A E7 ABm C#m D EI Need More © 2012 Shiloh Worship Music COPY FREELY;This Music is copyrighted to prevent misuse, however,permission is granted for non-commercial copying-Radio play permitted www.ShilohWorshipMusic.com Free Christian Worship Music on the iTunes Storehttp://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/free-praise-and-worship/id436298678Please check out our Free Christian Worship Music on the iTunes Store.
