When is your birthday, and do you celebrate it? Today completes my 23rd rotation around the sun, and I celebrated life today by doing things that make me happy! I ate some falafel Döner, sat outside by a campfire, and took some time to reflect on this past year.

Human life is a delicate, intricate thing. Is there “value” in human life? I had a student once say, “I don’t care that she’s human.” It is interesting to me that for some people, they see no value in human life. Whereas for me, I think it can truly be an exceptional experience. I have studied the Holocaust in great depth, and that is an event in history that brings that question of “What does it mean to be human?” to the forefront. Unfortunately, there are several other events in history that have destroyed human life. So what does this mean? What does it mean to be human? Why are some lives valued more than others?Let me know your thoughts. | ✨TikTok✨ @lifelong_learner --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/higher-thoughts/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/higher-thoughts/support

The world we are living in feels like a dark place. The last year has been chaotic, frustrating, and disheartening at times. Anger and hatred seem to be the loudest emotions because our world has been consumed by their volume. Because of that, I feel a sense of responsibility to share good, share light, and share joy to empower others to find their happiness in the now. Sending you love and light to where ever you may be in this world ✨💜 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/higher-thoughts/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/higher-thoughts/support

What is a soul? How would you describe it? Speaking of fish references, if Dory from Finding Nemo were a human, and if life ever got her down, I could imagine her singing, “Just keep living. Just keep living. Living living living. What do you do when you live? Live.” Coincidence, I think not 😉 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/higher-thoughts/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/higher-thoughts/support

What has been the best part of your 2020? Wow, this year has been a wild journey, but here we are at the end. If I’ve learned anything from 2020, it’s that the path to the future is very unpredictable and tomorrow is not promised to anyone. What have you learned this year? Share your thoughts with me on TikTok @lifelong_learner! I love you, and ✨Happy New Year ✨ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/higher-thoughts/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/higher-thoughts/support
