It doesn’t have to be fancy. It just has to be real. Artificial intelligence may write fast, but it can’t replace the warmth of your words, your thoughtfulness, or your presence in someone else’s life. So, here’s to celebrating human connection—front-row style. The bonus is, when you take the time to uplift someone, you’ll find your own spirit lifted too. On this Front-Row Friday, I invite you to think about what you can do to create a meaningful connection today, a connection that ChatGPT can’t replicate: Write a handwritten letter or card. Send a text with words of encouragement. Share a favorite quote with a friend. Call someone just to say, “I was thinking of you.”

Have a wonderful Front-Row Friday! Your Head Usher,
Marilyn
Human connection. In this inspiring episode of Front-Row Fridays, motivational speaker Marilyn Sherman shares a touching story about the importance of human connection in our increasingly digital world. At a time when artificial intelligence and technology seem to be taking over, Marilyn highlights a heartwarming example—the “Dad Letter Project.” What is the one thing that ChatGPT can't replace? Meet Rosie from Ohio, who received handwritten letters filled with encouragement from her dad every day since fourth grade. Now in her 30s, Rosie shared her story on TikTok, offering her retired dad’s letter-writing talents to others in need of some fatherly wisdom and love.
The overwhelming response showed just how many people are craving genuine, compassionate connection.
