res·o·nance - noun
"Electricity- that condition of a circuit with respect to a given frequency or the like in which the net reactance is zero and the current flow a maximum." This definition of resonance as electricity is a great scientific way of the truth - we are all energy. What frequency do you choose to resonate at?

Listening is an act of love

Please watch this video that introduces the mission of Story Corps, an amazing project that is enabling Americans throughout the nation to record their stories. The focus is on the power of listening. Here's a story that really touched me. If you already have a strong relationship with your alive/dead father or yearn for one - please listen to this interview of Dr. Lynn Weaver - interviewed by his daughter Kimberly.
"I would be a success if my children loved me half as much as I loved my father."
"When Lynn Weaver came into a StoryCorps Griot booth in Atlanta, Georgia, he told his daughter, Kimberly, about his father, Thurman Weaver, a factory worker, chauffeur and World War II veteran. Lynn remembers his father as his rock - the person he would go to with any question or problem. Kimberly has often heard her father say that her mother is the smartest person he knows, but he points out his father was equally brilliant. He remembers the time that his father stayed up all night teaching himself algebra so he could then teach it to his son the next day."

    I'm writing from StoryCorps to let you know we saw your blog post about the StoryCorps interview between Dr. Lynn Weaver and his daughter, Kimberly.

    I wanted to write to let you know about a new initiative we're launching this year that might also appeal to you and your readers. StoryCorps is asking the whole country to set aside one hour on Friday, November 28th, the day after Thanksgiving, to record a conversation with a friend or loved one. We're declaring this day the National Day of Listening. We launched a website (www.nationaldayoflistening.org) with more information and tips for a Do-it-Yourself style interview as well as a video walking through an interview scenario. Since so many Americans aren't able to make it to a StoryCorps recording booth, we're making it easier for everyone to share this experience in their own homes.

    Again, thank you for writing about StoryCorps on your blog. Please share the idea of National Day of Listening and these Do-it-Yourself tools with your readers, family, and friends, helping us make the experience of listening as an act of love even more accessible.

    Thank you again,
    Kathleen
    StoryCorps
