Doing Good!
Doing Good! This past Friday night, I witnessed one of the biggest acts of kindness created by one man, then attracting help from others. Robert Thornton and his nonprofit organization, Cloud Covered Streets which delivers new shirts, new socks, toiletries, snack bag, and letters of hope to those living on the streets delivered big this past weekend. John and June have been given a great opportunity……A new beginning! These two have been on the streets for over 20 months. Money has been raised in various ways. John received a guitar, something which he had to sell to stay above water before becoming homeless. And now, John and June (above pic) took…

To Forgive And Ask Of…..
To Forgive And Ask Of…. This episode was a tough one as I have been in this position–To Ask Forgiveness from others that I’ve hurt or let down. And the flipside of forgiving others who’ve let me down whether they’ve asked of it or not. You see, we have this thing called EGO, that thing that is tied into ‘pride’ and is meant to protect our emotions. But yet, this thing that we feel is protecting us is actually bringing us down due to never releasing the toxic energy which needs to be let go in order to move forward. So, is it harnd to ‘forgive’ for you? Or is…

From The Dark Depths–To Taking Flight: Jaime Alexander Smith
From The Dark Depths–To Taking Flight: Jaime Alexander Smith A man can grab your attention by what he says. A man can grab your attention by his physical presence.

He’s risen from the ashes of his Hell, for the reflection he sees in the mirror! He’s risen for the beautiful life which looks…

Constructing Myself
Constructing Myself These words hit home for me after watching the new Tony Robbins Documentary….I’m Not Your Guru! Think about it….how many of us are exactly who we want to be? I mean realistically, not to be Michael Jordan but knowing we don’t have the God Given skills or talents, but I mean to be excelling in all aspects of our lives. Are you physically where you want to be, considering the your body you’ve been given? Are you financially where you want to be, no matter the circumstances you were born under? How about your relationships, are you a contributor to the lives of others and do you have…

Your Philosophy: What Will Motivate You To Act?
Your Philosophy: What Will Motivate You To Act? Your Philosophy…..Your Reasons…..Your Why…..Will they motivate you to take action when you feel least motivated to act? In the book “The Slight Edge” by Jeff Olsen, the emphasis he found during his journey explain it perfect….. When we’re at the level of failure and struggle, we give it all we have to get to the point of survival. Then we get to that level, and we take our foot off the gas pedal or our routines, not realizing that the next level of success is where we want to actually get to. But that which we did to get to the level…

Independence
Independence Happy Fourth Of July, for those of you in the states! Through the barbecues, fireworks, and festivities…..what does this day represent to you? And how can we apply to our personal lives what this day represents? This past week, myself and Jason participated in Danny Page’s “7 Day Facebook Video Challenge”……. A challenge where we expose our truths…..and by that, I mean the unedited versions of ourselves. The lies we tell ourselves as well as the lies we tell others end up constricting us. They hinder us from the freedoms of who we really are as individuals. They keep us from being individuals with faults and not allowing ourselves…
