Moments of Mindfulness: A place to call home with Suzanne Hanger.

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

I agree with the saying, “A house is not a home”. Home is more than bricks and mortar. Home is a feeling, a place we make with friends and family, A home provides refuge, and joy, and peace, and safety, A home knows when it’s you turning the key. Someone said it, “Home is where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends.” So, how does one find a place where when they lay their head on the pillow, their soul is at peace? I am glad you asked. Meet Suzanne Hanger, “Your Broker with a Side of……

Moments of Mindfulness: And Nothing Less; Truth is of No Color

Posted on September 24, 2020 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

“The 19th Amendment had first been introduced in Congress in 1871. But Congress’ unwillingness to pass it meant women could only vote in states that had passed woman’s suffrage laws. By 1919 that had come to include 27 states, but not New Hampshire. Granite state women would have to wait for the state of Tennessee to become the 36th state to pass the 19th Amendment before they could vote for President in 1920.”[1]And there is so much more to do! Join me in a fascinating, energizing, educational, and empowering discussion about how African American women participated in the battle to……

“You can call it a germ, you can call it the flu, you can call it a virus. You know, you can call it many different names. I’m not sure anybody even knows what it is.” – President Trump- Why do some people get really sick, but others do not? Are the models too optimistic or too pessimistic? Exactly how transmissible and deadly is the virus? How many people have actually been infected? How long must social restrictions go on for? Why are so many questions still unanswered?[1] The confusion partly arises from the pandemic’s scale and pace. Worldwide, at least 3.1 million people have been infected in less……

Moments of Mindfulness: An audio meditation experience with Sherrell Moore-Tucker

During the pandemic, have you been feeling intimate with physical, mental, emotional uncertainty and unrest? It seems that everything that can be shaken is shaking, where noise, angry noise appears to be drowning out laughter and love. I found I have been grieving the loss of power over my thoughts, my movements, my expectations, my finances, my future, my everything. So, I created Moments of Mindfulness as an emotional and spiritual band-aide for the hurt we are collectively feeling. All of us at the table have permission to find the stillness that allows authenticity and vulnerability to rise above the noise. We are going……

Moments of Mindfulness: How do you spell HOME with Gale Morgan of The Mather?

Posted on September 3, 2020 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

How have you changed how you feel about HOME in the last six months? During the pandemic, HOME has become forever energy posing as classrooms, daycare, science labs, offices, churches, gyms, potential technological nightmares, playgrounds, and hospitals all at the same time. Physical space that used to feel sufficient, and often spacious, now feels like “not enough.” Nursing homes have necessarily become barriers to physical expressions of love and a barometer of how successfully our country is winning the pandemic war. The powerlessness of the season has motivated feelings of concern about the future of the housing market, the economy,……

Moments of Mindfulness: “Love in Action” with the late Congressman John Lewis and NPR’s Krista Tippett

Posted on August 12, 2020 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

First Corinthians 13: 4-8 says “Love is patient and kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. … Love never ends”. Wikipedia says, “Love is considered to be a positive and negative: with its virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection, as “the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another”; and its vice representing human moral flaw, akin to vanity, selfishness, and egotism, Author Glennon Doyle Melton expresses love as a message from God, and I quote: “When you were born, I put a piece of me in……

Moments of Mindfulness: Enduring Legacy or Staying Power in the Storm

Posted on July 8, 2020 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Having thoroughly enjoyed the musical Hamilton recently, I was impressed with Alexander Hamilton’s predictive insight into future seasons of national uncertainty. He specifically included corresponding requisite leadership skills. “In 1788, while advocating for the adoption of the Constitution, Alexander Hamilton famously wrote in the Federalist papers, No.70 that the structure of Government should enable the office of the president to have sufficient “energy” to meet the significant challenges of the day. (W)hat are the ingredients that constitute this energy?” Hamilton asks rhetorically, and he goes on to name four elements;” Unity, duration, adequate provision for its support, and competent powers.”……

Moments of Mindfulness: Daddy, where are you?

Posted on June 19, 2020 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Did you look under PROTECTION, adjacent to PROVIDER, close to KEEPER OF THE REMOTE CONTROL, disguised as SANTA CLAUS, within YOUR HEART? However, sometimes Daddy can only be found in a WARM, LOVING, and SPECIAL MEMORY. He moves around a lot. He has a lot to do when he is about his work. He hurts when you hurt, finds joy in your laughter, and wishes you all the blessings you deserve. He will answer to Daddy, Poppo, Pops, Dad, Papa, and even “Bald Mommy”. Whoever plays the role and earns the title of a father in your life is a……
