"Foreclosure-Free" Towns: Five Communities Still Thriving; DC Emancipation Day--History Worth Celebrating; and Banning Job Burnout

On the April 16th edition of The Heather Taylor Show, Boomer Radio in the Nation's Capital, we'll feature three segments on good news in the midst of the sub-prime mortgage crisis; history worth celebrating in DC, and one solution to burnout on the job, all designed with Boomers in mind:

"Teflon Towns" -- Five American Towns That Have Proven Immune to the Sub-Prime Mortgage Crisis

-- Think everywhere you go is a subprime mortgage crisis on the verge of bankruptcy and foreclosure? Well, think again. My guest, Lyneka Little, staff reporter for the online news source, The Street joins me to uncover some hot housing markets that have been immune to all the foreclosure noise.

D. C. Emancipation Day -- History Worth Celebrating

-- On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln took the extraordinary step of freeing the slaves of the District of Columbia, nine months before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Historian,educator and author, C. R. Gibbs joins me to talk about the history of the occasion, which he wrote about in The Washington Post.

Career Change That Made a Difference

-- If you've ever found yourself on the verge of employment burnout, Belinda Reed can feel your pain. She was a veteran prosecuting attorney on the verge of burnout herself when she found a solution to her problems. And she found it in a learning environment--in coursework at a very special kind of school. Those answers ended up having an impact on her professional and personal life. She joins me to talk about how studying applied healing arts at the Tai Sophia Institute changed her life. She's now "transitioning from prosecution to mediation and restorative justice, using [her] skills as a lawyer and [her] tools from AHA (Applied Healing Arts) to doing victim-offender mediation." She joins me to talk about her extraordinary experience. (http://www.tai.edu/) (aboutresolution@yahoo.com)
