It is a very unique episode that I have in store for you. First, let me say that you are likely to hear a ton of background noise from children to kids, and possibly even my husband. We have a lot going on with our move. We're actually moving today as you listen to this episode. We might even already have the truck unloaded [chuckle]. But, another reason this episode is really unique is because I'm recording during the day time. So during my other episodes, I like to record at night once my kids are asleep and I can turn off the TV and majority of the background noise so that I'm super clear,

I don't know about you, but I shook off my usual "Monday Blues" to honor the work of the great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Thinking back to last summer when the Black Lives Matter protests were all over the news made this day especially poignant for me. Sadly, too many people are free on paper, but not experiencing freedom in the world. On Wednesday, we inaugurated a new President and Vice President! I'll admit, I cried tears of joy. My excitement isn't because we have an administration I think will be perfect. In fact, there are many things I disagree with Democrats about

The first is that whenever we talk, I'm either hungry or eating. This really just happens because I think of and miss her any time I have a moment of peace. The second joke is that I'm always late to the game when it comes to pop culture, whether it's music, movies, or shows. I typically wait until after the hype has passed before getting interested. Maybe it's my sub-conscious rebel. So, it wasn't until 1994 when the commercially and critically failed film, The Next Kate Kid, came out that I got hooked on Mr. Miyagi and the Miyagi-Do way.

I ask you to reveal yourself in greater ways during this time. May your children be filled with your Holy Spirit. Forgive me, Lord, for anything I have thought, felt, or done that is not like you. Heal our nation, God.

Hopefully you all shouted that out along with me as soon as Midnight hit on Friday morning. I'm more than happy to be in a new year. I have a ton of hope that this year will be better than last. But unlike many people, I think it would be a big mistake to completely forget 2020. History does tend to repeat itself, so it's important to learn the lessons the first time.

In a time when we needed to
