LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah

I've been sharing fun summer reads on my Delilah Book Club page, one of them titled, "Every Beat After," by Sara B. Larson. It's a super sweet love story, playing out in a little bakery in Scottsdale, Arizona. Liv is a heart transplant survivor, living in the fragile space between gratitude and fear. Running her family's cozy -but financially struggling- bakery gives her purpose. Hunter's a guarded, cynical, marketing expert who steps in with a plan to save the bakery... When all kinds of sparks fly! This is Sara's adult novel debut and she's pretty excited about it. She joins us today to talk about where her inspiration for the book came from, how she juggles writing, parenting, and running a commercial preschool, and so much more.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, D.C., has written several books exploring courage, turning points, and faith. These books, for adults, younger readers, and now, children, focus on how ordinary people learn to be brave through choices they make every day. Her new children's picture book is rooted in a simple idea; Bravery isn't something we're born with, it's something we practice. Through everyday moments that may seem small to adults but feel big to children, "I Can Learn to Be Brave" encourages young readers to discover courage one step at a time. What an inspiring conversation this is, with an insightful (and delightful) guest! Join us!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

By loving our neighbors as ourselves, striving to understand and appreciate their beliefs and perspectives, we heal.

Some days are better than others, and the day I sat down with a legend in the music industry, Clive Davis, was a very good day indeed! Clive has been bringing hits to the airwaves for over 50 years. He founded Arista Records and "discovered" an incredible number of artists that went on to become super star sensations. It was he who suggested to a young Barry Manilow that he should record "Mandy", and we all know how that went! Clive, nearly 94, and Barry, nearly 83, have teamed up once again to bring us one more hit. "Once Before I Go" has recently hit the Top 10 on the A/C Music Charts, and is hitting listeners right in the feels! Join us today to hear Clive tell us, why this, why now, why Barry?  I was so honored to have this conversation! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
