it don't get no more personal (the reprise)

2008-07-19T20:05:49Z

In an email I sent to a select few of my reader yesterday, I shared some really personal thoughts (then again, what on here isn’t) about a situation happening even as I type this message. I had no clue that what I learned yesterday would be tried by one of the fiercest fires in my ENTIRE human experience.

the book...the week...the truth

Talk about a microscope! My life has been under scrutiny for the last week. And when I say I am exhausted, God knows I mean I could sleep for a week…lol.

I have been in DC all this week working tirelessly with my coauthor on my first book. I had no idea how tiring this could be. Working on the book itself is nowhere near as tiring as having to recall the past and put it in perspective.

what about last night

2008-06-25T13:29:14Z

Last night was the most awesome shows I have ever done on blogtalkradio. Not only was it informative, but it was fun and insightful and it touched peoples lives.

Sheryl Lee Ralph, Phil Wilson and Takirra Winfield were my guests and Marvelyn Brown and Morris Singletary, my off again on again co-hosts, were a tremendous help. With more than 300 people listening in, the show was very successful. We talked about everything from Sheryl’s trip to Africa, to her visit to the LA County Jail and her son’s internship at the Black AIDS Institute. Sheryl and Phil turned it out!

Anyone who has lived in Atlanta will tell you, she will teach you some painful lessons and if you’re not careful you will wind up paying with your life.

forget it! no more god-messages from me!

The best place I can go when I want to be still and hear from God is the shower. Yes, the shower! I am not a water sign, but it seems like that is where I hear God the clearest and the loudest.

So last night while I was in the shower, I had a thought about gratitude that led me back to a comment Dr. Joe L. Dudley, Founder, President and CEO of Dudley Products Inc., made to you me this past weekend, “Gratitude is the beginning of plenty. Ingratitude is the beginning of poverty.” This led to my own thoughts and some interesting conclusions about the nature of being grateful for what you have when you have it. Like to hear it… Here it go! Now, this is truly some God inspired thought.

i loved you more

As I sit here, I am filled with joy, excitement, elation and love. I don’t expect anyone not present to get what happened this morning. Short of having a tape recorder or a camera or a birds-eye view of my shower, I don’t know how accurate my description will be.

the true nature and high purpose of our story

2008-06-05T13:23:58Z

Last night my good friend, Dr. Bertice Berry, came home. She share her story about the power of giving and forgiving. It was broadcast all over the world last evening. As friends and family sat glued to their laptops and computers listening to her story and story after story, people began realizing that change (shift) is a very real and welcome force; and that forgiveness is a key that will unlock the floodgates of the universes storehouse in our life.

She and I spoke last week and I shared my story at her request. The power of one story is enough to change the world.
