Blog Talk Radio

A few days ago I had the absolute pleasure of being on Emilio Williams’ show, Elevate the Soul. This being my second time as a guest on a blog talk radio show, I’m totally hooked!  It has been so amazing to meet such beautiful people through this medium.  Along with Emilio, I met Ade Anifowose and Betty Pegues who produce Life Conversations Radio, in July when I was on blog talk radio the first time.  All of these wonderful people offer uplifting, soulful conversations to the thousands of listeners who tune in and call in.  I loved everything about my experiences and in particular, that the hosts support one another.  That’s right…I said they support one another!  Talk about walking your talk!  Instead of seeing their shows as competition, they encourage their listeners to catch each other’s shows.  The first time I heard them promote each other, I was totally surprised and thoroughly impressed.

What is so exciting to me is that nowadays I am hearing more and more people speaking about collaboration.  I say, it’s about time!  Throughout my life and career, I’ve always thought that we need to support, not compete with one another.  To experience this shift in consciousness today is amazing and I am so grateful to bear witness and participate in the evolution of consciousness.

I love the little parable about the very hungry people who are all sitting around a large, round table, starving– even though there’s a ton of food on the table.  Trouble is the utensils are too long for them to feed themselves.  This is called “hell”.  And then the scene shifts to the very same people, sitting at that same table with all of the food on it.  But this time they are all laughing and having such a good time.  Why?  Because they finally figured out they if they use their utensils to feed the person sitting across the table, they could all benefit.  This is called “heaven”.
