In July of 2016 my daily writing shifted.  I went from hating my job and challenging my dedication and loyalty to allowing the universe to win the war.  Confidence, courage, faith and trust.  Thirty seven years of letting the corporate world control everything I said and suddenly there was this hole in my system of choices that strongly suggested I come clean with my beliefs.  ...

With a female-led remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (The Hustle ) hitting theaters this spring, a new season of Stranger Things inspired by films like Fletch coming this summer, and recent news of forthcoming sequels for Ghostbusters and Coming to America , it's clear that '80s movie nostalgia is at its peak.

Because I make myself available to speak in public that's a free ticket for hecklers to stand up and try to take you down.  Knowing how to act and react is what keeps things moving in forward motion as well as emotion.  What so many don't see is how the hecklers moment continues to live on beyond the physical action and reaction.  Learning how to grow beyond it after the lights and...

Episode Ten: How Real Is Too Real? I find myself laughing at how sterilized radio and television people continue to be inside this world of reality this and Big Brother that. Incredibly entertaining was Game of Thrones getting busted twice this season for not properly clearing the set of modern day water bottles and more. Some have said that was done on purpose because when the masters of the craf...

I don't just put words on a sheet of paper then walk away.  One look at my writing desk and you'll instantly take note of the several writing journals I keep loyal with and to.  One of them being a collection of words only brought to the surface of today during visits within a collection of trees.  It never has to be a huge forest for even a neighborhood gathering of sticks stuck fe...

"Let the Summoning Begin..." Summoner's Circle is a six-piece theatrical metal band that blends elements of doom, death, black and progressive metal into what they refer to as simply "epic metal." For the band, every song is an incantation, every live performance is a summoning, and everything they do is tied intrinsically to the mythology, or lore, they have created. The lore tells the story of t...

For a moment there I thought we were going to whip out our light sabers and make war out of nothing at all.  The generations are colliding on the release of Aladdin.  So many people grew up watching the animated motion picture and now that Disney has put real bodies in the costumes once worn by animation the flow of acceptance is riding off the path of normalisms.  This week Gabe pu...

When great things happened on the baseball field Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs would always hit his heart then point to the sky.  Not all but most thank God when receiving a Grammy, Golden Globe or Oscar.  I chuckle.  Only because I'm stuck wondering what they do for the rest of the day.  Being grateful for a victory is an awesome feeling.  Is anyone just as grateful when...
