NEW YEAR MOMENTS OF MINDFULNESS featuring Tyra G

Posted on December 31, 2024 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

What’s so special about celebrating the New Year? “Why does the start of the new year carry such special symbolism? And why is its celebration so common worldwide, as it has been for at least as long as there have been calendars? Behavior this universal must indeed be tied to something fundamental in the human animal, something profoundly meaningful and essential, given all the energy and resources we invest not just in the celebration but also in our efforts to make good on a fresh set of resolutions, even though we mostly fail to keep them. It’s fascinating to realize……

A 2018 blog written by musicians who declare they believe in music says, “Music is simply a very special language that everyone understands. There is no feeling that cannot be described and transported through music. It preserves memories for eternity and turns dreams into reality. It caresses the soul or screams unmistakably. Music conquers fear, dries tears, and gives courage and strength. It is the safe and expressive home of our emotions – with all facets between joy and pain, irrepressible lust for life, and thoughtfulness. Music can turn enemies into friends and cross borders. It can ensure that the……

Ray Bradbury, in Fahrenheit 451, says, “Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child, a book, a painting, a house, a wall built, or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way, so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you’re there. Dara Horn says. “Every person has a legacy. You may not know your impact, and it may not be something you can write on your tombstone, but every person impacts this world.”……

Life will accommodate you in any way that you choose. It is always listening to the silent requests of your heart and mind. It is always surveying the landscape of your heart, gathering the bits and pieces of the emotions buried there. Life can be an open book to learn about great mysteries and wonders. It can also be a mysterious and frightening pit you fear to tread. Or it can be a basket into which you can place your treasures and carry abundant blessings. Until today, you may not have realized that life answers your requests. You may not……

This month’s theme is: Thank you for your Service, Then and Now. I am passionate about celebrating veterans and active-duty military who continually help us sustain and maintain our quality of life, often at the greatest of costs. We hear stories through various lenses this November and December, including wars fought, age, gender, race, family impact, and cultural and social legacies. Our stories have included Mary Jessie Herrera, a 100-pound, 20-year-old Military Policewoman who wore an M16 and a 9 mm sidearm in IRAQ as accessories. We have heard informative heart-to-heart stories from women who decided to serve in the……

So, this week, we begin with a twist to create our common thought space for today. In the words of Isabel Wilkerson in her interview with Krista Tippet on NPR entitled The Heart is the Last Frontier. And I Quote, “With all due respect, I can’t want to!” For some, this is the best of times. For others, it feels like the worst of times. For the wise, it is seen as one season in history. For others, it feels like an impending eternity of uncertainty. Words like ‘us’ and ‘them’ no longer define diversity but decree exclusion. Anger has……

There is always more. “If by chance no one has told you that they love you today, I would be honored to be the first to say I love you today. I love you because you are and have been so willing to grow. And my, how you have grown. You have grown from struggling to searching, from trying to do something to learning how to do it. You have grown from fear to having faith to demonstrating your courage. You have grown in many ways, consistently demonstrating your willingness and courage to take the next step toward the profound……

Author Kahlil Gibran in his 1962 book The Prophet says, “And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children. And he said: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even……

The blessings of legacy with Karen and Cheyenne Harris

Posted on August 27, 2024 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Legacy is about life and living. It’s about learning from the past, living in the present, and building for the future. The world isn’t connected only by molecules. It’s connected by stories, traditions, memories, hopes, and dreams. We are connected by the legacies passed down from those who came before us and the legacies we will pass down to those who come after us. English writer Dorothy Sayers, “Paradoxical as it may seem, to believe in youth is to look backward; to look forward, we must believe in age.” Today I have two guests that present legacy through different lenses.……
