ENCORE/Andy Smallman on Kindness; Kristin Wright with Courts & Ports

Educator, Kindness Consultant, and Founder of KindLiving.net, Andy Smallman, joins us from San Francisco to inspire people to both recognize and engage in acts of ordinary kindness, promoting ordinary activities that awaken kindness, helping us to connect to our true nature and increase peace in the world. Kristin Wright will join us from Central Texas after returning from a trip to the Texas-Mexico border with Courts & Ports, a 2-day immersion experience engaging people of faith to witness first-hand the legal and law enforcement processes related to immigration, detention, and deportation occurring in South Texas.  Kristin will let us know what she witnessed! Dr. Mara with a sneak peek into her book, The Passionate Life: Creating Vitality & Joy at Any Age, and a discussion of "beginner's mind" - it's a good thing to have.   And MORE!
