A Little Wray Of Sunshine: Inspirational stories from everyday people
Join me each week and listen in as I interview amazing individuals who will share with you incredible stories that have come from their life's experiences. Stories that will truly uplift and inspire you! As a social worker for more than three decades, and over twenty years as a college professor in social work, I know the power that comes from sharing stories. Each one of us has a story waiting to be told. By sharing our stories of strength, courage, and perseverance, despite life's challenges, it will help us understand ourselves and the world around us much clearer. My purpose for creating this podcast is to bring your stories to life, and hopefully in the process, help others gain strength and optimism that will help them in their own life's journey. I hope you will join me in this process, and perhaps I can share your story as well!

"No matter how hard, ugly, brutal, difficult, harrowing, disappointing, or frustrating life can get, there is light in this world" - Devon Marrott
Devon Marrott is a Psychology Professor at Brigham Young University - Idaho. In this episode, he addresses many different topics, including human connections, friendships, human suffering, and viewing the world through a variety of lenses such as religion, science, biology, etc. Devon shares his own personal perspectives and insights, which are insightful and inspiring. Below are a few quotes from this episode.
"it's hard to stay mad, angry or upset, when you are faced with the gift of a beautiful friendship"... "Be a friend to people, be a beacon of light, strive to leave this world better than you found it, be the gift of friendship in people's lives"..."Human connection is the most important thing to me in my life"..."If you feel like you were kind of dealt a sad hand of family dynamics, that need not be your destiny, you can establish other families with meaningful friendships"..."Human suffering needs to be addressed, I think it needs to be talked about"..."Things that you plan may not work out as you plan them to, but that doesn't mean you still can't find satisfaction and joy in life, you can be optimistic, hopeful, assertive, and you can be proactive instead of reactive. You don't have to be the smartest, most attractive or best looking person to find success and accomplishment in this life." Enjoy!
