"Savor the Moment"
BBG Today signs off with a reflection on the significance of Della Hardman Taylor Brown, a beloved West Virginian known for her contributions as an artist, scholar, writer, and community advocate. She often signed off her radio programs with the phrase "savor the moment," encouraging listeners to appreciate the beauty of the present and embrace each experience fully.
