Thought for the Day: Today I am at a corporation helping employees deal with the death of a colleague and therefore I decided to repost this from last year. It is a wonderful story and an inspiring song.
Thought for the Day: Today I am sharing 2 songs & an 11 minute audio recording. Please click on a link to listen to the recording 1st & come back to hear the music. The audio is from The Moth (True Stories Told Live) which I heard on public radio last week on my way home from Boston. I don't usually listen to hip hop  or rap music, but the story is truly inspirational & as Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels spoke about feeling suicidal, I got pulled in. I don't want to ruin it for you, so please just   CLICK on this link & click on the listen button. After you hear the story, come back to this post to hear the music.  Many of you know the song, "Angel," by Sarah Mc Lauchlan, but you will never hear it the same way again. 

Now that you have heard DNC's story, take a listen to "Angel."

Mother's Day is especially hard for both adopted children & for their birth mothers. Birth mothers make a very difficult decision in the best interests of their children. They hope that their children will have a chance at a better life if they are adopted. These 2 artists & their music can change lives & even save lives.

Have a wonderful weekend & a Happy Mother's Day to all!
