Posted on January 27, 2020 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

We all know everyone has a story. However, I like to say everyone is a story. This month we are taking a closer look at our personal stories and the stories of those who have supported our becoming more. And, we are going to recognize the power of the stories that we tell ourselves. Author Richard Kearney says in his book On Stories “Telling stories is as basic to human beings as eating. More so, in fact, for while food makes us live, stories are what make our lives worth living.” Isak Dinesen says, “To be a person is to have a story……

She Believes in Me: Encourage, Empower, Inspire with Founder Rene Gorman and Michelle Galliano

Posted on January 21, 2020 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Contrary to the belief that this is a male-dominated world, women provide the foundation of power, grace, wisdom, justice, creativity, and hope. Throughout history, the world has witnessed many great women of strength who managed to tap into their Everyday Power to leave an indelible mark on society. However, it is important that there is a transfer of empowerment to the next generations. Actress Audrey Hepburn said, “I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles.” The……

Sowing Seeds of Service above Self with Tonia Oldham

Posted on November 9, 2019 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

I love it when I get together, courageous enough to look and walk beyond words. Giving each other permission to expose gifts of imperfection without judgment. Frankly Speaking is our time and space to help, heal, educate, and encourage each other into the best version of ourselves no matter where we are in our journey. Our spiritual doggie bag this week includes a note from LOVE also known as God and as offered by author Glennon Doyle Melton and I quote: “Stop holding your breath. Breathe. There is enough. I have created an abundance of acceptance, attention, recognition, joy, peace, money,……

Voices from the future with Jimmy and Sherry Grimes

What’s in a name? “Nexters” or Generation Z (born after 2000) composed another 3% of the global workforce, but they make up more of the global population (25%) than any other generation. By 2020, they will be out of school, making up 20% of the global workforce right behind Millennials.” This is a maker generation, a far more pragmatic and practical generation who must architect and build the future we are all trying to imagine living in. The world doesn’t need more foundational layers, it needs a generation to create. Meet Generation Next They use technology and the internet to connect……

Chocolates after midnight with Jaleh Moslehi and Tyra G

Posted on July 28, 2019 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Life is an ongoing process. It is not made up of one event. Every time it rains, it stops raining. Every time we get hurt, we heal. After darkness there is always light- we are reminded of this every morning, but still, we can forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won’t. Nothing lasts forever. I chose this month’s theme as Chocolates after Midnight, Midnight symbolizing the rain and chocolates symbolizing the rainbows in our lives. We are looking at ourselves and how we relate and respond to life’s seasons. Every week this month,……

Our future is walking among us now. Those currently in high school will be overseeing our “aging-in-place” and other activities in the “December” of our lives. We need to connect with them, to know them, to respect who they are as the people they are. That is exactly what we are doing this month. All month we have heard from Millennials and Generation Z guests on what are hot topics to them. We continue this week with what we are calling Sensitive Soundtracks from Generation Z. Today you will be entertained, encouraged, and empowered by the gift of talent from……

The blessings of legacy with mother and daughter, Karen and Cheyenne Harris

Posted on July 20, 2019 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. A legacy may take many forms – children, grandchildren, a business, an idea, a book, a community, a home, some piece of ourselves. How many of us are living our lives so that our legacy reflects all that we truly hold most near and dear? How many of us are living with integrity and courage? The world isn’t connected by molecules. It’s connected by stories, traditions, memories, hopes, and dreams. We are connected by the legacies passed down from……

This is Us Chapter One: You can count on me with Jaleh Moslehi.

We don’t usually spend time considering the impacts of human choice unless our power to choose for ourselves is taken away. But for many young women, the right to choose how their lives unfold was never an option. Whether dictated by culture, circumstance, family, or poverty, their paths are often already set. It’s all too common for women to surrender their chance for education and career. But self-determination is a dream that many young women hold onto. And for the women who receive scholarships each year from schools in the United States, choosing education over old cultural norms allows them……
