Are failures OK? How about mistakes? Imagine if we never experienced either. There would be no discoveries, no growth, no developing resilience, determination and perseverance – qualities that make us human and lead to a happier life. In this episode, Arlaana and Carla share historical, scientific and personal experiences, with a few metaphors thrown in, on how we develop our lives by "Failing Forward."

A symphony of sounds is magnificent because of its blend of unique musical instruments. The same is true for people. Our happiness is derived by our willingness and openness toward others, especially different cultures, ethnicities and lifestyles. There is no "other" but rather a global citizenry of which we are all a part. When we live this way, our lives become enriched and our loneliness begins to dissipate. Of course, we also must also use wisdom in forming our relationships. Arlaana and Carla take our listeners and viewers on a personal and societal journey into diversity and living with appreciation and fulfillment.

Humor is the WD40 of human relationships. It reduces tension, is an icebreaker and is a way to tell difficult truths. Humor provides psychological relief and social commentary. In this episode, Arlaana and Carla share why it's important to live a life brimming with laughter and optimism. They share their own wacky and hysterical experiences, reminding listeners and viewers that we should all live with LOTS OF LAUGHTER! (And Lots of Love, as Arlaana originally thought it meant!)
