Killing Cliches

Do I know my benefits?

The prayer taught by Jesus allows me to make the distinction between God my celesestial Father and my earthly father.  My Father is not a mean and terrible judge; however,  I am cared for, taught lessons, and shown mercy and grace through life and as a result of my faith.  It is absolutely necessary to see God through the eyes or grace in the same way that we are seen through grace.

If I pay more attention to the thoughts, suggestions, and ideas of others how will I ever meet my destiny?  To be governed by one's innermost being is to first distinguish it between the voices of the others.  Purpose- must lead the way.  Grace.

We dress up gift boxes with pretty bows and gift wrapping paper because of the presentation and the thought behind the gift.  However, wow do we present ourselves?  I am confident that as we learn more about the gift of love, we will begin to resemble it and share its gift consciously.  Grace.

Have you any memories of songs that your elders sang to help them to maintain?  I have a host of them!  We must continuously pay homage and tribute to those who came before us we we forge ahead!  Thank you for listening.

Thank you for continuing to listen.

Many thanks to all of the listeners of Season 1- The Introduction.  Season 2 opens with a familiar format; however,  this season will be devoted to having conversations that enable us to come down to Earth.  I look forward to learning and sharing what that means as we go!!!

Unplugging from today's world can be very drastic for some, and easy for others.  I must to become more sensitive to the needs of my innermost being and to the needs others, more than the alerts from my cell phone.  Getting to this "very" conscious state requires breathing.  Thank you for listening.

It is time that we take our words back, and use our words to define ourselves.  "Black Power" is alive and well... but only in lives of a very few?  The truth is, there is enough economic strength within us that would make Black Power real for us all.  We must seek to ask ourselves these questions in order to determine our true course: evolving from scattered individuals to a collec...

Willie Williams helps us conclude the conversation with the question, "How would black folks treat with one another without the term black-on-black crime?"   Killing Cliches is fortunate of have captured these thoughts on this platform!  Thank you for continuing to listen.

Defining terms for ourselves takes work and conversations that lead to ascention.  In this episode, Willie Williams (educator, doctoral candidate, author) and I have a conversation killing the cliche of the term black crime.  Killing Cliches is excited to be the platform where we are expanding and growing together one conversation after another.

How do I fit in?  Notwithstanding the attitudes that I have learned along the way, or the 'think about what I disagree with first mentality'.  As we are gathered, we must seek to fit together- this means that I may have to check my attitude and my disposition at the door, but only I can tell myself this.  Let us continue to grow together.

"Out of the mouth of babes..." (Matthew ch.  21v16) means a whole lot when it comes to moving ahead.  The elders have the responsibility for teaching and trusting that their teaching has prepared the student to excel; the student is responsible for making good use of the teaching as they excel.  One of the goals of Killing Cliches is to bridge the gap between our youth and our elder...

How do we to occupy the space to make ready for the time?  We have an awesome opportunity to turn time upside down, and seek first what is supposed to be first.

Biblical scripture applies to the reader, and "being a listener is dear to life".  It is time for us to own the Words that were written for us and about us, intelligently.  My cousin, King Darrell, who is no stranger to Killing Cliches joins the conversation on part #2 of this episode.  We are fortunate to have widsom in every corner of my family, so I am delighted to continue to sh...

Our students must trust us.  Soon to be Dr. Willie Williams articulates the endless possibilities that we can push our scholars to as the teachers find ways to build rapport and trust.  Killing Cliches provides the space where we can discussion our profession in light of our approach.  I look forward to having more conversations to share.

Are we couting the days to retirement; the next vacation;  or simply counting repetitions for the sake of a fictitious goal?  Or are we learning to cherish every moment?  Do we ever reach the point of homeostasis--- that is the state of internal balance?  Or are we stuck counting laps never reaching this point of ascension?  Allow this episode to share a different approach...

Everyone has a story of survival.  It is time that we celebrate the victories that we see one another accomplish!  Reflecting on one's story of survival enables true healing, this episode gives us space to recognize this truth.  Thank you for listening.

What does a trumpet do?  The answer is found in what one is supposed to do once enlightened by the truth- PUT IT ON BLAST!  So many lies are told through images that go unquestioned; however, we spend time contemplating depictions of lesser consequence {ERROR ALERT:  I mention the cover of Time Magazine; however, it is the cover of Life Magazine}.  #blacklivesmatterquestionmark...
