You ever hit a light switch and the instant the lights illuminate the room there’s that dreaded flash telling you your light-bulb is now a dark-bulb? I hate that too. A couple of months ago this happened when I went into the kitchen; lucky for me it was a lighting fixture that had more than [...]

A few Fridays ago I was at a friend’s get-together at his home. We’d all come over to have drinks, hang out and just celebrate another week of surviving our paycheck printers, welcoming the two-day vacation, and enjoying the company of a few friendly and familiar faces. When I walked in the door, after putting [...]

Back in the day (and I do mean BACK) there was a hot song, called Give it Up Turn It Loose, by an outstanding female R&B group, En Vogue. The title really says it all, right? Mhmm. A couple months ago while riding down Peachtree St. a friend told me about her life’s recent developments, [...]

Lately, I’ve given more credence than ever before to what people see in me versus that which I see in myself. I’ve asked myself, and subsequently my friends and most anyone that would listen & respond, what value there is in what the world sees in you, that you may be challenged to see in [...]

I was listening to India.Arie’s “God Is Real” and she said “we’re all made of the same stuff as the earth and the stars,” it set my mind off as ADD often does. I thought about Maya Angelou’s quote that has really been driver behind a lot of work I’ve done and what I believe [...]

Lately, I’ve gotten back into Kirk Franklin and have been really enjoying his CD “The Fight of My Life.” During the adlibs at the end of Hide Me he says, “I can’t rely on my old strength this time,” something I’ve heard plenty of times growing up in church. Following that The Nu Nation vamps [...]

1Currently listening to: Kirk Franklin’s Help Me Believe I doubt this will be long, it feels like a brief one… I just wanted to say how this song just spoke to me. The lyrics express a concern about the inability to hear the Voice, and feel the Source, and asks for clarity, access, and simple [...]

0Tomorrow morning begins a new chapter in my life. I leave for Seattle to join Celebrity Cruises, traveling to places I never imagined I’d be blessed to see, especially not on the dime of a company. I was on Facebook and a friend, Avie Durr, had posted a video of John Legend performing, classic gospel [...]

0The same day the preacher who inspired “Duly Noted: What I got I paid for…” was speaking, he said a few words that sent me off in another direction as well. ADHD really is beasty. He’d asked if we knew where our thermostats were. If they were outside on our sleeves, accessible to anyone who [...]

0Recently I was in church and the preacher was talking about how we can be fooled into a false sense of a security by things that appear to be one thing, but in fact are another. He said “look for the knock-offs.” He went on to give the example of the infamous designer knock-off watches, [...]
