Who's Sleeping with Who?

Sometimes I feel like I live in a bubble... Because in my house, in my circles, we not only believe in equality, justice, giving those weaker than us a voice, but also we fight for what we believe in!

That being said, I jumped in on a post of a friend of mine Mr. Turner, where it's big news of the day about Jason Collins being the first professional ball player to come out as gay.

What is all the fuss? I get that this has never been done before, however, does that affect how good he is as a ball player? Does this make him less of a man? Resoundingly NO!

My hope is to help shift the world to a place where these things no longer matter. My hope is to see humanity evolve to a place where it doesn't matter what people do in their own bedrooms. My hope is also where people are so devoted to making the world a better place that they judge people by the content of their character before any other "label" that they may inherit or wear.

Please folks - we are all equal whether "some people" want to believe it or not. Fight for those who need a voice. Fight for your rights.... Not a vicious fight, but one where you let no one keep you separated from true, simple, priceless (and FREE) happiness.

One Love to all who read this :)

What Do You Do When The World Knocks You Down?

Yesterday was one of those days that started out where I felt I could take on the world!!!... And then I got tons of rejection and had major fails (especially with technology!).

No big deal. Meditate, shake it off, and start with a clean slate again the next day...

Yeah right... 

I woke up this morning fresh, wide eyed and bushy tailed, only to have another day filled with MORE rejection and failures, so I had a moment when I started to question why I was doing all this healthy living stuff for, and why I was putting myself out there as hard as I could!  I did the only thing I could think of doing...

Call In My SHEroes :) :) :) 

Yep! Asked my wonderful inspirational voices of wisdom, Chivon John, Karlyn Percil, and Bee Quammie! If you don't know who these ladies are, you gotta check them out. Collectively, we are all committed to helping people be their best selves while keeping things real!

These ladies are my reminder that we can only succeed when we work together, when we learn to be strong, and also when we make sure we get back up when we get knocked down! I'm so blessed that when I have these moments, my SHEroes give me love so I really can get back up renewed, strengthened and ready to take on the world all over again!

Do you have SHEroes and HEroes to reach out to? If not, what is the one step you can take today to find those who can be your support, and who you can support in return?

Stereotypes Alive and Kicking?

As I spoke with The Passion Professor and Ms Word in preparation for our show this Thursday, I started to think of all the still too-normal stereotypes that we have in our world:

• Your doctor(s) should always be White. 


• Need your nails done? Better be Asians.


• Want to know what's the most in-style music? Well, it'll be sure to be sung by a Black rap artist.

You think I'm playing? Watch any blockbuster big budget movie and you'll still see these roles well played... Heck, it still exists in commercials and anywhere in big media.

Part of the reason why its important that we call this out is so that we can realize that in this day and age we can do so much better than this!!! 

How?

Do not let race, culture, income, neighborhood or any other marker define who YOU are. Don't become anyone's clown or pawn. YOU choose what you want to be. YOU choose what your likes are. YOU choose what you identify with. YOU choose what makes you YOU.

YOU choose.
