On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that even the smallest act of kindness can create a ripple effect far beyond what we see. A smile, a kind word, or a simple gesture may seem small in the moment, but its impact can carry on to touch lives we will never meet. This segment encourages listeners to choose kindness on purpose, trusting that their actions can reach farther than they ever imagined.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm sharing my personal journey of turning a challenge into an opportunity. After multiple surgeries on my left ankle, the same leg that once caused pain became the leg that carried me to success as a high school kicker, eventually earning a walk-on spot at Alabama. That journey even opened the door to radio after organizing an alumni football game in 2015. This segment is a reminder that sometimes what looks like a setback can hold the seed of our greatest strength and purpose.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Deborah Fleischman, a remarkable artist, director, mentor, and friend to so many in the FPCTA family and beyond.

View her full obituary: https://www.berryhillfh.com/obituary/deborah-fleischman

For over two decades, Huntsville audiences have cherished our annual tradition of A Christmas Carol—a tradition made possible because of her. Her adaptation of Dickens’ classic was performed on our stage for more than 20 years, becoming a holiday staple for hundreds of families and leaving memories that will be passed down for generations.

Beyond her words on the page, she guided countless young performers from her classrooms to stages across the country and around the world. As a director, mentor, and teacher, she challenged students to find their voices, instilled in them a love of storytelling, and gave them the confidence to dream bigger. Many who trained under her have gone on to flourish in the performing arts and beyond—carrying her influence with them every step of the way. We mourn this tremendous loss while celebrating the beautiful, vibrant mark she left on our theatre and our community.

We invite you to share your favorite memories, photos, or stories of Debbie in the comments below so that together, we can honor the extraordinary life she lived and the light she gave us all.

On this episode of The Mark White Show I am joined by Kate O’Neal with The Caring Link. What began in a hallway at Lynn Fanning Elementary has grown into Care Closets at multiple schools, meeting the needs of students with clothing, shoes, school supplies, toiletries, and more. Kate shares how The Caring Link came to life, the impact these closets are having on students and families, and how the community plays an important role in keeping the mission going. It is a story of compassion, collaboration, and care that reminds us when a community comes together, small acts can create lasting change.
