Morning Cuppa Joy
Morning Cuppa Joy is a weekly reflection on being human — love, loss, curiosity, and everyday moments of grace. Written and read by Robyn DeLong, each episode invites listeners to focus on the beauty and love that surround us, and to notice the joy that bubbles up even in the midst of chaos. Each Cuppa is a gentle reminder to be grateful for the precious moments we’re given and the people we get to share them with.

In this week’s Cuppa Joy, I reflect on the legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson at the close of Black History Month. Not through campaigns or controversy, but through a story he often told about his grandmother—a woman who couldn’t afford a blanket and stitched scraps into a quilt to keep her family warm. What might it mean to “stitch a country together” in our own time? This episode explores our shared desire to hold onto a dream, to stitch together differences, and to choose warmth over separation.
If today's Morning Cuppa Joy stirred something in you—made you smile, think, or wonder—I’d love to hear your thoughts. I hope you'll reach out.
