In this episode of Financial Fitness with The Money Doctor, Dr. Frances Rahaim takes a clear, high-road look at the Massachusetts Teachers’ Retirement System (MTRS) — what it offers, what it doesn’t, and how to stay safe when seeking advice about your pension.
You’ll learn:
-
How MTRS actually works and why it’s a defined-benefit plan, not an investment account.
-
What the law says MTRS cannot do — including selling or endorsing products.
-
How look-alike “teacher retirement” sites can mislead even savvy educators.
-
Questions to ask any advisor before you make a change.
Even if you’re not in Massachusetts, most state plans run on the same principles — so this episode is a must-listen for educators nationwide.
Title: Manifesting God For Other People To See
Manifesting the love and blessings of God through us is our greatest duty. How often do we do that, especially for others we do not know personally but know of their need? God is waiting and hoping because we have free will that we will manifest his blessings to someone who has been praying for them. We may never know but God does.
We invite you to join us for another exciting Angel Talk radio show sponsored by The Living Light Center a Church of Faith and Healing.

Now that we in the Northern Hemisphere are moving into the colder part of the year, Down and Dirty is taking a bit of a reprieve from the outdoor garden. This week, we will be exploring how to cultivate your inner garden by exploring what do we really 'know' and how do we 'know' it? What or who is your greatest teacher? We'll explore various events being presented to humanity, and ask if technology is friend or foe. Is convenience important to you and why. Digital Currency? Digital ID? Chipping? And whatever else many pop in to the conversation.
Want to join the conversation? We will be taking calls and are eagerly interested in your opinions, musings and thoughts.

R&B Pop Singer, Songwriter
Morgan Taylor is an emerging R&B/pop singer/songwriter whose career trajectory exemplifies a blend of foundational gospel roots, academic musical training, contemporary R&B artistry, a live stage persona “BIG MO” all infused with a powerful independent artist entrepreneurial spirit.
From a young age, Morgan’s musical journey began in St. Louis, initially with gospel music. Her debut EP, Jesus Loves Me, at age 11, and performances in churches and at notable venues like The Fabulous Fox Theatre (opening for Brian McKnight and J. Moss) establish her early performance circuit and connection to her hometown. This foundational experience, where she “discovered her singing voice” at age nine through vocal lessons with a “powerhouse” church figure, is a key aspect of her development.
While she “will always love gospel,” her passion for R&B, cultivated by her parents introducing her to “great artists” like “iconic Whitney Houston,” became her pivot and dominant genre in high school. This transition highlights a conscious artistic choice, moving from a sacred to a more secular, yet still deeply rooted in a gospel vocal expressive, musical path.
Morgan graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2025. Her academic pursuits are artfully balanced with her “burgeoning career as a recording artist,” demonstrating a commitment to both formal training and practical application. Her experience in “Katy Perry and Janet Jackson ensemble shows” at Berklee underscores her versatility and exposure to large-scale productions, contributing to her development as a performer.
Morgan’s songwriting is highly personal and thematic, a recurring phrase in her self-description: “I like to write songs about what’s going on in my life, about experiences I’ve had in the past or are currently happening.” Her aim is to “express emotions that people can connect with,” particularly focusing on “the reality of heartbreak but the sense of overcoming it and not allowing anyone to steal our power.” This lyrical focus is evident in her recent co-written singles.
“Sucka For U” (2023) is a “master class in soul seduction,” exploring the complexities of “toxic relationship(s).” Her 2024 singles,”Highway” (a “passionate power R&B ballad” about an ideal relationship) and “Mistakes” (a “heartfelt, reflective” song about a breakup and self-realization), further showcase her ability to translate personal experiences into relatable narratives. The mention of “whistle tones” on “Highway,” inspired by Ariana Grande’s vocal layering, highlights her technical vocal artistry and influence from contemporary & classic music.=
The production of her music involves “top producers in Atlanta,” including Grammy winners like Jeremiah Adkins and Carla Carter, indicating a professional and high-quality approach to her recordings.
Her Instagram moniker, “highonmorgan,” further reinforces the immersive and captivating nature of her music and persona.
Having already established herself as a versatile and emotionally resonant artist, Morgan Taylor’s career reached a new high with the January 2025 release of her debut R&B EP, Love Bombed (Love, Loss and Lessons). The project, a testament to her songwriting prowess and vocal talent, has been met with critical acclaim and significant commercial success, accumulating over 1.5 million streams to date. This EP not only solidifies her place as a rising star but also demonstrates her ability to connect with listeners on a deeply personal level, positioning her as a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary music landscape. Her “BIG MO” energy, a recurring keyword, is central to her live performances, described as energetic interactions with the crowd, reflecting the “exciting fruits of her hard work.” With each new release, Morgan Taylor continues to evolve, proving that her captivating artistry and compelling narratives is just the beginning of her incredible journey.
