I started an initiative on Integrity, called When No One's Watching, about those moments when we are faced with choices, and the consequences. Please watch, follow and record your own video about choices you've experienced, and the consequence. When No One's Watching is an initiative from Film Your Issue, which I launched 20 years ago with Walter Cronkite.

HeathCliff talks about why he started "When No One's Watching," a public initiative on integrity, and moments in his life where integrity were shaped. The in...

Why is SiriusXM playing/ promoting this homophobic hate speech? "Faggots revisited"?? Have you ever listened to that hate rant masquerading as comedy? I thought Eddie Murphy disavowed his homophobic stance. Why is / still playing it? Kevin Hart GLAAD BETEddie Murphy Galeca: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics

Here's a quick, easy way to figure out sometimes complicated relationships or situations. Just ask: "Are they LOVING or are they UNLOVING?"

We get all screwed up in our heads with complicating factors, extenuating factors, excuses, self-hatred, guilt. We feel tied up in knots, confused, ARE SUPPOSED TO FEEL a certain way.

Is the person loving or unloving? It will ALWAYS tell you what you need to know.

Let me repeat: It will ALWAYS tell you what you need to know.

It will tell you why you feel bad talking to them, or how they treat you, or if you are giving them too much power, or they are "important" and "influential."

In this brief, sweet, painful, confusing lifetime, only one thing matters: Are they loving or unloving?

And equally to the point: Are YOU loving or unloving?

Looking at the bright side and focusing on the positive has never been more critical for our emotional wellbeing. "Let's face it, there are plenty of reasons to focus on what is wrong with the world," Wesley Combs starts off in his latest newsletter to his followers. The executive coach and inclusion advisor continues from there to offer advice that we all KNOW but need to be reminded of: to focus on the positive, try to ration negative news, and focus on what we can change rather than obsess on what we can't. We've pulled out the powerful gist below. You can read the whole thing here: https://www.camprehoboth.com/letters/1997/november-13-2020-intentionally-inclusive-wesley-combs

This heals my heart. I HAD to share this! I just LOVED watching precious 3 1/2 month old puppy named Rammen being bathed by his Mommy Valerie - who named him after her favorite ramen noodles (but added an extra "M" in memory of her beloved cat Mitchii).

Singing is by the wonderful Johnny Only (aka Jonathan Wright), who used to listen to Tennessee Ernie Ford when he was a kid.
