StoryCorps is full of Resonant Men (and women). I am so grateful for those who created this project and for the Day of Listening. I know it will be challenging for me to keep that focus this Friday - with my wife and children as we relax at home AND I know the day is simply a reminder to always do my best to listen to others truth - just as I express my own.
Listening, so simple and powerful a tool to spread love and caring. Everytime, I know I have given a listening ear to a friend or a child at Dream A Dream, I know they have gone away peaceful and happy. I continue to try to listen not only to others but also to my inner voice. Thank you.
