Poor me: race, cognitive dissonance, and personal responsibility for all
Dearest readers, Being human is impossibly difficult. It is a challenge we take on voluntarily. At least that is what I believe, and that belief empowers me and gives me hope for all of us. It seems crazy to think that I could have chosen the family I was born into and the circumstances of […]

My life of poverty and abundance as a creative person (my story)
Hello readers, As an artist and creative person, my prime preoccupation has always been freedom.

WHAT IF? ON FREEDOM…
July 4, 2013 Hello readers, What does freedom or independence mean to you? To some, it means having no one over yourself to tell you what choices to make or how to behave. To others, it means enjoying the ability to be your true self without censorship, to be able to reach full potential without […]
Some Thoughts on the Power of Fear and Negativity…and How to Go Beyond
Hello readers, While I was rinsing some beans at my kitchen sink the other evening, the thought came into my mind that the many stressful challenges and “negative” experiences that have peppered my life were expressly chosen by me before coming to this Earth and this lifetime for a specific purpose.
