JAMES HOUSTON: on everything from Beauty Photography, Mindful Design, Meditation & not giving a S#%@ about what other people think

GRATITUDE - feeling love, peace, calm & possibility for many of us may takes practice to cultivate. Engaging in a daily gratitude practice may be just as important as taking your vitamins or maybe even your medications . We may every morning right? (right??) well, I think of Gratitude kind of like making the bed of mind, each morning - I can't leave my bed a mess, so why would I leave my mind a mess? Especially these weird days that 2020's been "blessing us with us" (...see what I did there?) It's gonna take something new, a new idea/action to bring myself to trust that..... "All will be well" Let's "pump up the jam" on our positivity Let's get an "attitude of gratitude" Folks Join my special guest ASAL DEAN, who is a crusader in the art of Gratitude She is a gratitude coach & the creator of THE GRATITUDEGRAMS During her workshops, participants tap into a mindset of gratitude as she guides them through a variety of gratitude exercises - allowing participants to create connections with others through the lens of Gratitude.

Tahera Rene Christy joins Terasa in an intimate conversation about how to overcome shame, self doubt, life circumstance & life experience and instead choose to fight for yourself. To choose to trust that you are worthy and beautiful, in spite of whatever you think you've lost or had stolen from you. This woman; Tahera rene Christy suffered greatly, for years, at the hands many of sexual abusers from a very very early age. She spent years thinking it was 'her fault' and that she somehow 'deserved this abuse'. A belief, that sadly many victims still hold onto. Tahera Rene is here to prove that is categorically untrue! She's a powerhouse Listening to her share her personal story and feel her confidence and self worth radiate directly from her heart, is so inspiring & I think encourages any listener to do better and trust harder in our self worth **** Tahera is a sought after life coach and relationship expert.

With all the wonderful energy behind the BLM movement these days, I've been really wanting to skill up on how to be a better ally to my Brothers & Sisters of color. If you're white, like me - then truly, respectfully, from the bottom of my heart; it's time for you to do the same. Maybe you're worried about "saying the wrong thing" sometimes to a person of color? and don't want to look like a "bad person" in front of them if you do. That's OK. Me too.We just have to put our minds to getting educated, talk about racial issues together, get clear on our 'stuff' and do the healing work together. And then we can really work together to make some powerful changes for everyone. I just think we need some help seeing the path So join FLEUR LARSEN & I on an investigatory conversation into our roles in social justice & racial equity. What we can do to clear confusion, embarrassment, old paradigms & habits. FLEUR LARSEN travels the nation & the world educating [white] individuals like me & corporations like Amazon, Boeing, even the ACLU how to be accountable for our white privilege. She teaches workshops & hosts events talking about equity, social justice, martyrdom, racism, sexism , internalized sexism, white privilege, white supremacy, and patriarchy. There's so much we've accepted in life that is actually unacceptable - It's time we take the blinkers off FLEUR LARSEN@FLEURLARSENFACILITATION.COM

Instead of me interviewing a guest, this week I am the guest being interviewed! On the LIVE INSPIRATIONAL COMMUNITY COLLABORATION show hosted by Mark Abadi: A lovely Englishman who produces and hosts his own daily show, every weekday on Facebook Live and then uploads it to his YouTube channel at Markabadi.com He invited me to talk about 'what is alive for me right now' Well....in this time of Covid, great societal transformation & upheaval, there feels like much more is being destroyed right now than is alive or thriving. It is all a bit upside these days Yet even though there may be much uncertainty in my life & perhaps yours too. I can also say that I breathe equal, if not more parts joy and passion, hope and inspiration and LOVE - I feel so much love and genuine connection these days - do you too? I hope so, because I feel like that's the good seed of our new world The answer to the question of what is alive for me then is to connect & to the deepen the feelings of love and empathy for my fellow man. Nothing makes me happier or more fulfilled than to think I could be there for you in some way, or even just make you smile today Being of service has brought me so much joy I hope you enjoy the conversation WATCH the Episode on the Terasa Livingstone YouTube Channel
