Today, God has awakened Linda to a new and extremely important message to share with the world: We must become more conscious of PTSD, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Her newest work, Soldier with a Backpack, Living and Dying Simultaneously reveals the reality of the impact this disorder has on the lives of our veterans and their civilian family members. According to Linda, “Stress and Trauma are guiding us farther away from love. Truth and understanding will guide us to self-love and love for our fellowman. PTSD is such an extremely personal experience, yet it effects the world in a very impersonal way.” Visit Linda at: www.LindaDianeWattley.com/

Tonight at 8:00 pm Eastern/Atlantic, 7:00 pm Central, 6:00 pm Mountain, 5:00 pm Pacific Chat with Melissa Holmes who was 25 yrs old when she met my first abuser. Everything was perfect for 5 years. When he proposed, she said YES; however, the minute she said, “Yes!” she noticed things starting to change slowly. Two years after they were married things, his obsessive behavior started to change the marriage and relationship negatively. The arguing began, along with the stalking, disrespect, and physical abuse. One day after she became fed up with nowhere to go, she left and took her survival chances. He started threatening to have her killed. Instead, he met his untimely death in May 2003 as a result of asthma. He never got a chance make good on his promise. After Melissa remained single for 5 years, she met her second abuser who was much worst. One year he broke her nose on my birthday; choked her; pulled her hair, pulled a gun out on her; and threatened to kill her and sit at home with her body until her son came home from school. He wanted to see the expression on her son’s face when he found my body. At that minute, Melissa knew she needed a game plan. She moved back to New York safely with her son 4 years ago. He stalked her for a year of the 4 years. Melissa stated, “I have never experienced such brutal treatment but knew I had to remain strong for my kids. I learned to turn my weakness into my strengths and Love Shouldn’t Hurt was born, and helping others in dv [sic] situations to know they’re not alone in this fight. Someone does care and her name is Melissa Holmes.” Love Shouldn't Hurt, Domestic Violence Awareness & Support Group (LSH) Visit Melissa’s site at: http://glamorousgorja.wix.com/lshdv

A Passionate Thank You “I just want to thank all who have liked my  [Facebook] page throughout the year of 2015 and the recent ones. It was created to help you stay in the know and to help me release the frustration I have for the lack of monitoring my father received in ICU. There's no way I should have found him unresponsive in ICU, an area of the hospital that should have ALL patients monitored to the max! I'm not sure what 2016 will hold for the lives that are either permanently injured or died from medical negligence . . .” ~ Annette Smith, www.Facebook.com/WhoseWatching/ July is Medical Malpractice Awareness Month "It's official.

Dr. Carter G. Woodson was born in Buckingham County, Virginia on Dec. 19, 1875, to former slaves, James & Eliza Riddle Woodson. His father helped Union soldiers during the Civil War & moved his family to West Virginia when he heard that Huntington was building a high school for Blacks. From a large, poor family, Dr. Woodson could not regularly attend school. Through self-instruction, he mastered the fundamentals of common school subjects by age 17. Wanting more education, he went to Fayette County to earn a living as a miner in the coal fields. He was able to devote only a few months each year to his schooling. In 1895, at the age of 20, Dr. Woodson entered Douglass High School, where he received his diploma in less than 2 years. From 1897 to 1900, Dr. Woodson taught at Winona in Fayette County. In 1900 he was selected as the principal of Douglass High School. He earned his Bachelor of Literature degree from Berea College in Kentucky in 1903 by taking classes part-time between 1901 &  1903. Convinced the role of African American history & the history of other cultures was being ignored or misrepresented among scholars, Dr. Woodson saw a need for research into the neglected past of African Americans. Along with Alexander L. Jackson, Dr. Woodson published The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861 in 1915. He followed this book with The Mis-Education of the Negro in 1933. The Bronzeville neighborhood inspired him to create the Assn. for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915. Now known as the Assn. for the Study of African American Life and History, it ran conferences, published The Journal of Negro History, and "particularly targeted those responsible for the education of black children".

Tonight at 9:00 pm Atlantic, 8:00 pm Eastern, 7:00 pm Central, 6:00 pm Mountain, 5:00 pm Pacific! Have you ever felt like there must be something more to life?  Have you sensed an emptiness within you?  If you said, “Yes!” to either of those questions, then more than likely you’re tied up with things of this world. The truth is that money, possessions, prestige, power and people cannot fulfill that deeper hunger we all have. We long for a satisfied heart, mind, and soul. Blaise Pascal, the French philosopher and mathematician, wrote, “Within each human being there is a God-shaped void.” We were designed with a need that only God Himself can fill. Within every heart there exists an intense inward yearning for the transcendent (for meaning, purpose, a satisfying relatedness and integration with love-- a personal relationship with God). The wise Hebrew King Solomon wrote of this universal need: “He (God Himself) has also set (the thoughts of) eternity in the hearts of men.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV)

Note: Check your time zone: 9:00 pm Atlantic, 8:00 pm Eastern, 7:00 pm Central, 6:00 pm Mountain, 5:00 pm Pacific On the panel: a widow, married, single, and divorce, a relationship therapist, and a Minister. Relationships are a part of life. Falling in love is a beautiful thing and falling out of love could be devastating. The work it takes to stay in love and keep your loved one happy involves work on the part of both parties. Tonight we will have a panel discussion to gain insight from all parties: some lost their other half by way death, cheating, or any of a multitude of reasons while others are happily married.  Be sure to tune in to hear about love, life, and picking up the pieces.

Sorry for any inconvenience of last night’s glitch. It has been postponed for tonight. Check the time for your time zone. Showtime is 8:00 pm Eastern, 7:00 pm Central, 6:00 pm Mountain, and 5:00 pm Pacific! Sometimes we go through life and feel like everything but the kitchen sink is thrown at us!  It leaves us feeling lost and alienated with nowhere to turn, or no one to talk to.  Be sure to tune in this week to hear spiritual insight on the issues of adversity and the spirituality of how we were designed to endure.

Notice: Going live at 9:00 pm AST, 8:00 pm EST, 7:00 pm CST, 6;00 pm MST, 5:00 pm PST Often times when life happens and leaves you in unfamiliar territories, we are thrown into a shocking world. Why? Because death, no matter how prepared we might think we are, is still a shock, a state of bewilderment, and confusion. Losing a loved one leaves the survivors in a deep state depression, lost, and confusion, leading some to self-medication. However, when children are involved, it leaves them wondering with bigger questions: what happened and why? This is a tragic dilemma that happens to families around the world daily. Tune in and be a part of a panel discussion including guidance from Minister Kim Dial who also experienced this. Learn how they dealt with grief, and are attempting to maintain the resemblance of a normal life while still picking up the pieces for themselves and for their little family. This show is one you don’t want to miss!
