Getting Better with Ann Beal

Today I want to talk about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Not as a historical figure frozen in textbooks. Not only as a civil rights leader But as a teacher of the human spirit.   When most people hear Dr. King’s name, they think about marches, speeches, and laws. But what often gets overlooked is this: Dr. King was deeply focused on how a person lives from the inside out.   He spoke constantly about courage, fear, self-respect, purpose, perseverance, and love—not as vague ideals, but as daily practices.   In many ways, Dr. King was doing self-help work before that term ever existed. His message was simple but demanding: Change begins internally, but it must not stay there. - Today, we’re going to explore how Dr. King’s philosophy can help us: * Stay grounded in difficult times * Find meaning beyond comfort * Respond to injustice without becoming bitter * And live a life aligned with our values This is not about politics. This is about personal integrity and moral courage.

Ann invites Grief Counseling Specialist, Kristine Rufi, to share how to cope with grief and loss especially during the holidays when the emotions are harder to cope with.  Kristine not only shares about her loss of one of her teenage children, but also shares how she learned to cope to survive through that pain and go on to live a thriving, wonderful life.  Her tips for the holiday season and other special days are especially helpful to help you navigate those days in ways that allows you to survive through those special times in the healthiest ways to keep yourself well as you grieve. Ann and Kristine are also joined by Stress Specialist, Dr. Jim Slaughter.

Some suggestions from Kristine:

~BE FLEXIBLE
You can put some traditions on hold or try something new. For example, you could take a walk instead of going to a party, or visit a neighbor or relative.

~ALLOW YOURSELF TO GRIEVE
It's okay to cry, feel sad, or want to be alone. But don't stay alone too long. Remember, you can also talk about your grief with others.

~TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
You might feel more tired or have mood swings, so it's important to be patient with yourself. You can try taking a bath, reading a book, or going for a walk.

~HONOR THE MEMORY OF YOUR LOVED ONE
You can honor their memory by making a new tradition, or doing something to remember them. Listen in for many suggestions.

~BE KIND TO YOURSELF
Don't feel guilty if you have moments of enjoyment. You've survived harder days before, and you'll get through this one too. Your body numbs you and only lets waves of deep emotion come for a short time and then your body numbs you again. This protects the organs and allows careful processing of very hard emotions. Take advantage of those in-between moments to do some healthy pleasures for yourself.  By doing this, it allows your body to be healthier to endure the grieving emotions when the waves come.  For now, there’s an element of damage control. What can I do to make a painful experience somewhat less painful? What can I give myself to look forward to? The holidays come even for the brokenhearted.There undoubtedly will be tears, but you will get through it to the other side.

 

I’m thrilled to be here with you as we explore how something as simple as giving can lead to a healthier, happier life. We’ll be diving into the ancient Irish tradition of generosity, the wisdom of St. Patrick’s Day, and how these timeless ideas tie into our physical and emotional health.Now, I know we all hear the saying, “It's better to give than to receive,” but have you ever thought about why that is? Today, we’ll explore how the act of giving can not only lift the spirits of others, but can also improve your own health in ways you might not expect.

Robert Smith, CEO of SWORD, warns us and informs us about what we know about Congress passing of The Corporate Transparency Act and what small businesses must do to fight it.  Listen in to hear what you can do and what you must do.

Required Compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act is Near
We are less than 2 months from the January 1, 2025 date of required compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”) for corporate entities created prior to January 1, 2024.  (If required to make disclosures under the CTA, Entities created in 2024 are required to make their disclosure within 90 days of formation.)  

The penalties for failing to comply with CTA beneficial ownership reporting can be significant.  The law provides that any person that willfully fails to comply or willfully provides false information may be subject to civil penalties of up to $500 per day and criminal penalties of up to $10,000 and two years in prison.

About Robert in his own words:
Over the past 11 months, I have developed a plan to inform, educate and warrior against the CTA, Corporate Transparency Act, a potential legislation that will greatly harm and/or eliminate small US businesses. I believe I am one of the modern-day Paul Revere(s): I am just the guy warning the other warriors that the enemy is coming for small businesses. My Biblical heroes are Sampson and David. These two men ran toward the fight or battle and not from it. Both men had great courage and feared no one. They both had great faith, loved the Lord, and had a serious prayer life. I have tried to pattern my life with the Lord: Having faith in Jesus since I was 5, studying the Word as often as I could, and I have always sought God’s will. I have read the entire Bible over 25 times during my lifetime. I spent many hours in prayer. God has opened so many doors for me to bring me to this crusade for small businesses. As I reflect on my life, God has created me for serious battle with the deep state dragon that has lorded our brothers by using fear (IRS). My battles with IRS and other government agencies have been numerous and the successes, significant.
