Beautiful

Michelle Obama is sharing herself in ways that are beautiful and meaningful for anyone trying to reach their goals and dreams. I’m a 62 year old woman who has had to overcome: a life of trauma, and neglect as a child. A life of love, loss, trauma, and trying to live every day the best I can, with courage (deeply digging), hope and perseverance to this day. I always come back to all I’m thankful for with gratitude in my heart and soul.
I so appreciate Michelle Obama for bringing her stories and helping me not feel alone, especially in this difficult time of post pandemic and all it brought with it to our lives, our families, friends, communities, nation and world.
Definitely a blessing to know of Michelle Obama and thankful for her bravery in sharing her stories of life. How fortunate her family and friends are to be around her kitchen table.

How I start my day

Things in education have been tough lately, and listening to this while I drove to my job in a large public school provided me with that boost of encouragement we all so desperately need. I began each day with my best mindset, and tried to carry a brighter light to those around me.
Tyler Perry’s episode almost had me late to bus duty because I was laughing so hard at the end of the episode, I couldn’t turn it off!

Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast

This podcast is so insightful and delightful. Michelle is just brilliant. She’s so funny and witty and wise. I cried and reminisced. Bravo First Lady and thank you. My 50’s have been a time of sweet discovery getting to know me.

So well spoken and very genuine.

Phenomenal speaker. Very relatable down to earth person. She sees people for whom they are and doesn’t judge. We need more people like her to help lift people up.
