The show which airs from 7-8 pm est each weeknight, has a plethora of components that encourage listeners to love learning in the form of games, music, interesting guests and a &#8216; radio stage&#8217; on which kids can share their talents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A few nights ago, Kathy&#8217;s musical guests were The Verve Pipe whose songs entertain adults and children. I found myself singing along to the lyrics of a song called <em><strong>Complimentary Love <\/strong><\/em>from <strong><em>A Family Album<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 &#8220;What if&#8221; I mused, &#8220;there really was enough love for everyone without the need to either hoard or withold? How would life be if we KNEW that to be the truth? What if love multiplied by sharing it, rather than dividing it?\u00a0&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I know that when I live from that sense of &#8216;enough-ness&#8217;, I have room to welcome\u00a0in people each day.\u00a0 I feel sad when I think that there are some I encounter who believe that\u00a0those they\u00a0know now are the only ones they will ever know. There are actually people waiting for you to come into their lives and make a difference.\u00a0 I am one of the richest\u00a0women I know, since my friends are my treasures and there was a time when I didn&#8217;t even know they existed, not even on my radar screen and then ta-da&#8230;one day we showed up at the same time and the same place. How cool is that?\u00a0\u00a0 Are you willing to enrich yourself by opening your heart to complimentary love?<\/p>\n<p><cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DWi9L12Djvw\">www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DWi9L12Djvw<\/a> <\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xpn.org\">www.xpn.org<\/a> <\/cite><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Even though I am chronological adult;
