I got into the habit of listening to Erik Mana's "Morning Inspirations" every weekday mornings at 7 over at Wave 89.1. Aside from his soothing voice, what he actually shares in the morning are truly inspiring. I even found myself into tears (I'm such a crybaby) one time while driving my way to work. I just wanted to share this. Let's all be courageous!
