Listen to the story!

Flora did not allow growing up during segregation to limit her access to education.  As she states, she wanted to stay in school as long as she could.  Flora feels that education played such a significant part in her upbringing and life journey.  Today, she motivates and empowers others to capture and share their life stories.  Flora shares the following nuggets of life wisdom:

– when you want something, it’s available to you, even if you can’t see how
– sometimes to get something, we need to give up something
– seek to have a strong desire and don’t worry about the ‘how’
– don’t settle

Sherry Sidoti

Listen to the story!

I had the great pleasure of interviewing Sherry Sidoti, who presented her book: A Smoke and A Song.  Writing her memoir enabled her to awaken to the way she was moving through life, revisit the pains she endured as a child, transform and begin her healing journey.  You’ve got to check out her memoir.  Sherry shares the following nuggets of life wisdom:

  • stories of relationships continue to live within us
  • the greatest spiritual practice is the relationships that we have
  • nothing is fixed and permanent
  • healing happens bit by bit
  • stay present
