Cloudy Mind Faint Heart Palms That Wont Hold

The wisdom we hold sits in a jar by the door. For what we know doesn't seem to keep us from spouting thoughts in directions that invite more harm than good. Why have we become such a vocal generation? Especially since most of the time we aren't even face to face.

Breaking Family Reasons

There are things we want to say but hold off from sharing. There are more moments where setting things free gets us in a little bit more trouble than expected. There are also moments we look back on and say, "I wish I would have said."

We Can All Relate

Too often our bright beautiful days turn into nightmares thanks in part of the words of someone close to our hearts. Within a whisper that huge moment of feeling great turns to darkness. What do we become? Angry, depressed and doubtful of recovery. Without leaning on drugs or alcohol to pull us from the methods of acceptable madness in 2016. Is there a safer way to become you again?

The Lyrics from Billys Forest Chapter Fourteen

I am a Poet that happens to write in a forest. As of late. I've been called to write within the trees at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. In Chapter Fourteen we take a journey through expression. The creative mind with its blind ways of creating dreams. And yet so much is left behind when those walking with you begin to see you as something other than creative. But rather a failure.

Reason Or Purpose

I bet you can't on both hands the number of people you meet that tell you they can't grow forward because its not part of their purpose. Better yet... how many people do you meet during the average week that endlessly talk about how they are still searching for their purpose? What if the journey began with a better understanding of what the reason is?

What Does Your Anger Believe

So often we find ourselves arguing with people just to release the pain from our hearts. We create the indifference to release without having to go shopping, drink or take drugs. Bashing up an outside friendship seems safer. When in reality it keeps us from building a firm foundation of team work and or connection. How do we get beyond the angers tucked within? Know what your anger believes in.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter Thirteen

I am a Poet. I write in a forest. As of late. I've been called to a different collection of trees. The tiny gathering at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. Today's story puts focus on how God speaks to each of us in a unique way. But in these chapters of digital connections. Are you hearing the word of God? Or wandering through life believing that checking into a church message on the radio is satisfying enough?

Meditation And Prayer As One

What is meditation versus prayer? Most people are warmer to the idea of one over the other. And yet they share so much in common. Why then don't we mix both methods of communication?

Losing Music Heroes

The loss of Lemmy from Motorhead, David Bowie and Glenn Frey of the Eagles has had a huge impact on the world. These are the storytellers that penned out the soundtrack to our lives. Their sound will probably reach infinity and or eternity. Look at Beethoven, Bach and Mozart. But what are you doing today good or bad that's become part of your legacy?

Vintage Roots To Modern Steps

I call it junk shopping. Walking into antique stores to sift through the boxes within boxes within boxes. I usually pop my head out holding up a vintage writing instrument. The goal is to take it home and allow it to write it again and again. A continuation of a thought. But what do we learn from this? That many of us have stuffed ourselves in a box to do nothing more than wait for something to walk by and spot us.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter Twelve

I am a Poet that happens to write in a forest. As of late. I've been invited to write within a collection of trees located at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. I never go into the forest knowing what will be written. And I never stop to read what has been delivered. Not until the moment I sit inside this recording studio and share the story.

Sandy Seashells

13 days into a brand new year and people have already labeled themselves a failure. The diet isn't working. Nobody is answering your phone calls. The jobs aren't chasing your dreams. The journey seems pointless. Life isn't a seashell. And yet we treat ourselves like one. We want someone to come by and pick us up so we can all live happily ever after sitting in a jar by the sofa. I think its time to start collecting raindrops.

When Memories No Longer Matter

I sat with a friend last night. He's in hospice. He said to me, "I've come to terms." It made me think. How many times in our living life filled the power of choice... do we come to terms?

God Wink

Moments in your life you can't explain that come to you as an unexpected gift. Those moments when something from out of nowhere is sitting in front of you and ultimately you are to wrap your fingers around it. I believe God Wink's are a lesson to be learned. It's almost as if you are being pulled into a new circle. And its through your journey that the levels of belief are raised. Then it becomes your mission to share the wink.

Learning The Way Of The Way

What is creativity? How does it play out in your life? Some say they're creative. While others claim they have no such bone in their body. I tend to argue. I believe your purpose in life to take what you create to the people. But because we fear judgement. We shut down. We turn our backs on The Way. Then spend the rest of our lives wondering what if? Or doing jobs you truly can't stand but you live with it.

One Step Out Of The Hole

It's completely natural to want to stop doing things. But we never stop to think how many people it infects. I call it a moment of selfishness. When we suddenly turn things off. Not show up for work. Set aside a trip with the family. Create sickness as the excuse when the reality is... You just wanted to turn things off for a moment. To reboot and or unplug.

Not The Person You Think

I'm interviewed a lot. But those asking questions never seem to get past the areas where I'm best known. I think we all go through this. We have these images projected on a screen. Only to realize what everybody is seeing truly isn't who we are. It's almost as if you want to interrupt the interviewer and say, "Let me tell you the real story."

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter Eleven

I am a Poet. I write in a forest. I've been called to write in a different circle of trees. The Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. This chapter puts focus on the moments God uses your senses to communicate. And its not always in the way you wanted it to arrive and or be.

One Direction

The new year means American businesses are refocusing their goals. They have one direction. They need that direction to push the company in the right direction. Only to learn that in two months or six that their brilliant new idea wasn't a good investment. Who's infected most the boss or the employee? The truth is... you are paid to do what they say. No matter how much it hurts or how much you lost. It's your job. But how can you win in this one direction addicted work world?
