TKAM #779 Happy Holidays #motivationMonday

Summary: 12.25.2017 It’s the holidays! Family, community, food, what else could we ask for? Not only are we interested in motivations, we also want to know what is making you feel blessed? Sounds cheesy, but the real gifts don’t have price tags. #MotivationMonday TK and Conscious start out the show by talking about the holidays. There’s candy and milky liquor in the studio. TK goes over her holiday cleaning and Conscious talks about appreciating things. In #NewsYouCanUse: Vending machines in the UK set to help the homeless Edward Snowden hasp that turns old phones into surveillance equipment Bitcoin philanthropist has donated 86 million to charity Storytelling project helps troubled teens in Chicago deal with their adversity Serena Williams to come back to the court With 2017 coming to an end, we are doing a #BlastFromThePast with some of the best of the year: Episode 625 with WhyNotShowLove?: Love and the world Episode 665 with Hope Victoria: Overcoming domestic violence Episode 683 with Psychic Medium Zya: What are mediums and psychics? Stay tuned because there are more to come as the countdown begins. During #ChatroomCheckin, we get what our listeners are doing for the holidays. And finally, we end the show with a clip from the Energy Alchemist, Dandipani who talks about the second step to motivations: taking some action. It’s the holidays, whichever you might be celebrating, and the important thing is to feel blessed. Here at TK in the AM, we are blessed to do what we love and motivated to make it even better.
