Netflix reboot of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has everybody watching in tears.  Tears of Joy!  If you haven't watched it yet -- I'm going to pass on a word of advice -- something Netflix didn't bother passing along to me or the millions of others who fist partook -- make damn sure you have a full box of hankies next to you!    Seriously!  Netflix should have a some kind of warning before each episode!  Hankie Alert!  Only watch if you have a box of Kleenex!  Or something along those lines!   I never watched the original.  Oh I knew about it, one of my sons (who is gay) watched it religiously.   I was neither interested nor  really had the time.  Being a single working mother left me little energy or interest during those days.  I was, however,  over the top pleased that my gay son had something to watch that he could relate to and learn from.   Now before I go any further, and for thos...

Your awakening process parallels your physical stages of life and all that goes along with it.  Conception Gestation Birth Infant - Toddler Young Child - Early Adolescence Late Adolescence - Early Adult Mid-Late Adulthood *~*~*~*~* Birth, Infant and Toddler Stages There is a longing that nags you off and on.  The restlessness and interrupted sleep only adds to the yearning.  There doesn't seem to be anyone close to you that truly understands what you're going through.  In fact, they've advise you to see a doctor.  No doubt you're going through the change.  Or you just need to get out more.  Or maybe try this new diet or that new diet.   You go to the doctor, they tell you there isn't anything physically wrong with you.  Or they tell you you just need to get more exercise and rest.  You go to a mental health specialist and they can't offer you any assistance that really rings true in your heart.  This is not to say ...

Your awakening process parallels your physical stages of life and all that goes along with it.  Conception Gestation Birth Infant - Toddler Young Child - Early Adolescence Late Adolescence - Early Adult Mid-Late Adulthood *~*~*~*~* Conception & Gestation It occurs when  you know  there is  more to life than what you see and experience in every day life.  It happens in that very moment you begin to question all you were taught and everything you once accepted as truth no longer feels right.   No longer feels true.    Try as you might, this  feeling doesn't go away.   In fact, the more you try to ignore it, push it aside, cover it up with various distractions, that feeling grows stronger.  For those brought up in any kind of strict religious environment, this feeling can be most terrifying.  You find yourself caught between your loyalties to your beliefs and the ever growing feeling that propels you forw...

 Your awakening process isn’t just about becoming consciously aware -- it's about growing up and maturing as well.    For many, this doesn’t always  go hand in hand.   There are those who believe that just  being  aware is enough.   It isn’t .     There are those who believe that if they repeat certain “catch phrases” this will magically and automatically turn them into a full grown and matured awaken individual.   It doesn’t .   There are those who believe that if they hold on to the ways and teachings of those that came before them … this too will make them more awake, more aware and make them  mature, complete and whole.  That is more than enough   It isn't. These are only a small part of your spiritual maturity -- the first steps towards your spiritual growth, if you will.  Your spiritual awakening is much like your physical growing process.  You...

They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.  I can't even talk the way these people talk:  Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be...  And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.      And then I heard the father talk.  Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.   In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living. People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.  The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.  These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.   $500 sneakers for what? And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics? I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing t...

Starting next week, I will go down the list and discuss each one of these in detail.    This little exercise was inspired by one of my favorite Radio Personalities...Delilah! Feel free to share this with everyone in your life!   Here's to a Healthier and more Peaceful year!

“Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.” ― Paulo Coelho, Brida **~*~**~*~** Many have been asking me what I mean when I say ... Embrace All That You Are! Simply put ... all your emotions, all that you have been, all you have done, thought and acted upon ...  all that you are in this moment ... right now .... is who you were, who you are--  is what lead you to be who you are in this moment. Good, Bad, indifferent or downright fugly -- it is, was and continues to be ... YOU! Embrace It!   Anger, Ambition, Sadness, Jealously, Hatred, Anxiety, Ignorance, Bigotry ... They are all part of the great creative energies!  The same exact Creative Energies that created ALL things and ALL beings! Acknowledge it! Accept it!  Love it!  Embrace It! You cannot destroy energy!  You cannot suppress it!  For in your atte...

One of the many things I have had to acknowledge and accept is that we are all spirit beings having a human experience. Let me repeat that ... We are All Spirit Beings Having A Human Experience! While it may not be so tough to acknowledge this ... it is exceptionally difficult to accept it!  At least it is for me!  And from what I have observed over the last 40 plus years ...the majority of people here on Planet Earth find it equally difficult. With all the discussions, books, seminars and workshops going on these days, you would think that we would be alot happier and alot more enlightened.  Speaking of which ... Have you ever wondered why you can't find any truly enlightened people?  Yea you can find a shit load of empowered and spiritually evolved people.  But where are all the truly enlightened folks hiding? Seriously ... where are they?  Well this was the question posed to me during a conversation I had with my friend Mellen-Thomas Ben...
