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.

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! ]]>to the teacherhttp://justbthat.com/journal/to-the-teacher.htmljonathan perry2008-06-24T03:53:44Zthoughts my experience gay/sgl friends black culture atlanta forgiveness gratitudeforget it! no more god-messages from me!http://justbthat.com/journal/forget-it-no-more-god-messages-from-me.htmljonathan perry2008-06-17T21:59:29Zthoughts spirituality my experience hope/inspiration god bertice berry gratitude shower timeThe 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.

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.

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.
