I wish I would've known what the impact of being a daily writer was going to do on the future self I'd quickly become. As much as we think we grow into becoming wiser. I can't help but believe what we experience in the presence of now is the teacher for tomorrows ambitions. On this podcast I do something a little crazy. I begin reading from July 11, 2016 which happened to be my 23rd wedding anniversary. While studying the emotions being shared on paper my heart began to call out to the Radio guy "If this is what you were feeling at 23 years of marriage, what was moving through you at 24 then 25?" Three completely different times on this journey through every word in the book yet there was a single line of connection. That's the subject which I hope as a daily writer will inspire you to begin taking notes while at the same time opening your heart to trusting what love really is and has the ability to overcome.

I'm blessed with the incredible opportunity to lecture on the subject of bringing your broadcasting calling to the forefront of the mission to become. No matter how many people are present I begin each moment with a tiny chuckle. None of them realize what's about to happen to their dreams the moment they step within the four walls of sending the performance forward. On this podcast I talk openly about how it took me 37 years to locate what I truly wanted to be as a Broadcaster. Until that moment I was everything that they wanted me to be. Say it this way. Play this song. No you can't create this. You're talking too much. We need you to get a haircut. Ok I get that one. I opened my heart to the experience and pretty much got an extremely cluttered soul. While in meditation and practicing Yoga Nidra it came to me. Stop opening your heart. What you think is coming in isn't. An open heart gives permission to every vibration good bad ugly and evil to take up residence in what's supposed to be your mission or purpose. I began to practice a new way to walk. I don't open my heart and mind. I clear them to make room for what needs to be accomplished. Be in control of what's being invited into your space. If you let everything in, you're instantly blinded by the needs of others. Suddenly you're 40 years deep into a dream and none of it ever belonged to you. It's going to be a learning process to know the difference between having a loving heart and a clearing heart. Who hurts us worse? Yeah... Being aware of how you act and react is a brilliant beginning to clearing the floor and closets of your forward motion life and style. Start saying no to coworkers and others connected to the business world. Never forget... A Professional always gives a two week notice before departure. Companies give you no warning. Now you've got more trash for your heart to hold. Be in control. How much of your heart is sitting in their trash can?

This is gonna fly over your head. The visual of the unusual is accepting the layers of probability versus capability with a twist of absolutely. No moment passes that we don't project into our hearts and souls the full visual of who it is that we think we are or would like to become. Learning to accept that image is challenging and yet we do nothing to exchange it out. Therefore we are living a probable life and style. Only to come face to face with the idea that our capabilities aren't being utilized the way we were designed. Instead of trusting what you are capable of, we find fewer reasons to invest in it as an absolute. Therefore the choices made reach back to those several layers of probability. We're all odd ducks. I openly admit I'm unusual. Accepting it doesn't mean it has to infect the channels that generate the energies connected to capability. That single place of absolute isn't going to be handed to us. It's hard not only to achieve it but to maintain it's arrival. Again, that's where probability falls into place because it requires less gung ho to settle for something that may or may not happen. Whereas the absolute is authentic and worthy of its place. Until we make the choice to stop feeding the beast. Knowing your layers. Where do we grow from rather than reach toward? Two completely different directions. Where do you stand in the way of accepting the image looking back at you in the mirror? Probability or absolutely?

I don't hide the way I write. Each day the first page is always a prayer. Before recording this new podcast something hit me while turning to the pages I was going to read from. There it was in front of me that daily prayer. Being a daily writer since July 1994 it never occurred to me that the majority of us don't talk to our parents like we share conversations with God. Wait! Wait! Not to give them a higher place on the spiritual journey but rather the questions we bring to God. The thoughts we share with God. On this show I replace the word God in the prayer with Mom and Dad. Something suddenly hits you.

Paging through my daily writing I came across a moment in July of 2016 where five police officers were murdered in Texas. The emotional impact on January 24, 2019 is still felt. Not because it's been on my mind but because the discipline of being that daily writer requires me to be reminded of such horrific times in American history. They always say that history repeats itself after people stop remembering the moments that stole our innocence. On this podcast we go back to the day after the shootings. The reactions I had after a Texas minister spoke on national television "We have to stop shooting at each other." Sure it's emotional. The heart has been reminded of what's happened and continues to move forward. We've grown to accept the crimes. So much so that we're no longer aware of the invisible fear that haunts our hearts each time we walk into a bank, restaurant, church or movie theater. Being a second degree black belt my eye is always on the door and all things moving. Someone recently said to me, "Its not if but when." How do you prepare your place of history during these locked chambers of tragedy? The day we stop talking is when it always happens again and again.

In the opening days of July 2016 I put a lot of energy in my daily writing as to why I was no longer able to locate the required space to continue writing at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. The paths had changed. I was no longer a stones throw away. It weighed heavy on my heart. I had started something that brought tremendous joy to the walk but couldn't figure out how to put my feet back on the journey. On this podcast I go back nearly three years and study the writers story by way of knowing that where he stood in July of 2016 was thirty five chapters deep into the process whereas today we've reached one hundred forty. The trials and challenges to not stop played a hard game of emotional changes while opening new avenues of growth without having to give up what it was you're called to do. It made me think. In this everyday average world how many others are unexpectedly shifted to a new chapter in their life and feel the miles required to keep a joyful moment alive and moving forward are far too many therefore the choice is to give up? I don't like wearing a pair of "Used To Be" shoes. You used to be. You used to do. A Marine is always a Marine. We allow so many things to keep us from being who and what we truly are. Excuses light a new path while the heart waves goodbye to what once fed your imagination tremendous amounts of peace. We change not by choice but by the placement of our paths generated by the energy of where we once worked or lived. No matter where you are, all that once made you unbelievably happy still exists. The spirit of all that was once there wasn't created by a favorite writing place or a coffee shop that offered incredible conversation. You brought the energy into that moment. Do it again today. Right where you stand. Everything you are is the moment not the paint brush that designed the canvas.

Nothing hurts worse then when we screw up. Instantly we label ourselves a failure and go back to the drawing board. We start over. No! Not anymore. Learning to live in the present means participating with the continuation. So you screwed up. The amount of time and energy spent to get to your moment of stumbling doesn't need to be relived. Teaching yourself to start over becomes an out of control addition. You only push yourself so far, the first sign of a storm you're starting over again or starting an entirely new project. Your success needs let downs. It builds your leadership strength. It teaches you awareness. The next time something doesn't feel right you'll be better prepared. Take notes. You don't have to be a daily writer but create a trail of experiences to watch yourself grow beyond starting over. I see people do it everyday with their careers and get horribly angry with themselves because there's no time to catch back up. There is if you allow the continuation have a voice in your present. It's not an easy walk but the payoff has plenty of stories to hold onto forever. If what you do was supposed to be easy we'd all be doing it. Be proud of your tumbles. Next time get it on video. One day you'll laugh about it.

Oh this is gonna get preachy today. If you're not into this game of inspiration you might want to run to a different page and day. I've talked a lot about "Hidden Speak." It's a term I coined when identifying with the methods of creative energy that won't let you drop the shields that keep you protected. On this podcast I put forth the effort to help the creative mind find places of safety when everything and everybody around you pretty much feels like a dark cloud and a rainy day. I'm not saying that everybody has to become a daily writer. Its a chore! It's hardcore discipline! I can't put that on someone's shoulders and expect them to locate tremendous amounts of inner peace. I'd say that seed didn't pop above the soil until twenty two years into my daily walk. But you've got to find a way to let it go without having to face a new cost. We horde life and all its challenges. We build huge walls and mountains then convince our inner thinking process that we're fully protected. Not true. The existence of your present place is the weight of the days you'd like to rewrite. You can do it but the truth still remains. I still see the moments when program directors from 35 years ago tore my radio show apart because it wasn't what they wanted. I can still hear my father ordering me to take down the 18 speakers on my bedroom wall. He didn't realize that my imagination existed beyond that sound. Get rid of it. Your place in the present is to receive. Do you honestly believe you have enough room in that itty bitty closet you call your heart? Be mindful. Be aware. Take notes. Your future self will totally respect your efforts made today.

My friend talked to me about these podcasts. He said, "You tend to speak a lot about locating this place of daily travel while accepting the art of stumbling. But you aren't teaching us how to arrive in the same place." My friend is an atheist. Totally tunes out at the very mention of God or Jesus. Which I'm ok with. We all have our separate journey. The majority of what we do daily is try to fill the void. Along each of our paths there's always that question, "What's the purpose and reason?" On this show we dive into that very subject. We are blinded by the events of what we've done and or expect from the unwritten chapters which is the future. Living in the present is a very difficult layout of plans. It sounds like a great idea until your present becomes too heavy with mental blocks or sickness. You can't catch a cold or flu from the past. Each time we find ourselves reaching out something slaps the tips of our fingerprints. So why invest in the present? Because you get to control it. Your choices today have the strength to shape tomorrow. How you act and react now has nothing to do with your past. Stop listening to the songs on the radio that bring back great memories. Listen to those songs for today's moments. My go to song will forever be Love Hurts from Nazareth. Not because I can still hear Casey Kasum talking about it on American Top 40. It puts me in the now. It instantly erases the stress and sickness and allows me to forge forward and outward. The majority of our favorite songs are reaching 40 to 50 years old. Many of the artists that wrote and performed on them are astonished at how they've lived this long. Is it because of our past? I'm not with that thought. It's because when you're not thinking about your past that song has become a favorite in your present.

Rarely do I hear about what someone ate for dinner two night to three weeks ago. It's gone. It's happened. Yet we find enough space in our hearts to talk about how much we hate our job or the way of the political world. Mindfulness isn't a place or destination. It's a choice. Mindfully making today the most important part of your process of growing clears your system of choice. It's like going to Google to clean out your history. Get rid of it. It's weight in a very heavy world. On this podcast I go back nearly three years into the pages of daily writing to openly display what was required to be alive in the moment of now and not the experiences of yesterday. They always say tomorrow never comes. Really? That's from someone that didn't activate their today. Gaining control of your life begins with the decisions you make during this 24 hour period. There is tremendous victory in your tomorrow when what you planned for today materializes. Too many times it's our hearts that let us down. Not your boss. Not your family or friends. We rip the rug from beneath our feet because the importance of being in the now is overshadowed by yesterday doubt, fear, shame and guilt. The choices you make today creates action and reaction. How you place it in your tomorrow allows the birth and rebirth of life growing forward. I've never heard the ticks of clock rewinding. No matter how bad the storm or joyful the victory. It's temporary. Tomorrow is waiting. Today is very important.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 139

In the movie Bohemian Rhapsody they clearly make it a point to paint the picture of how radio would reject the length of the Queen song. How dare they try to release something that clocked in at just over six minutes! FM radio was present but wasn't scoring huge audiences yet. AM was king and Pop music was called Top 40 for a reason. There were 40 songs that needed airplay and Bohemian Rhapsody was going to get in the way of the programming clock. This past New Years Eve I sang the song during Karaoke. Not once did it feel like a six minute song. Which proves how fast time is soaring. On this podcast we take on that subject. How is it that a tree can slowly make its way through it's growing periods and seasons but humans struggle with the idea that it's already 2019. I share two ways on how to break free of the speed. Boredom. Locate it. Invest in it. Your imagination and creative process savors the escape. I've been on this little quest to locate jobs people don't want to do because its been labeled boring. It's my dream work at a Harris Teeter store just to sweep the floor. The physical ability of making sure the presentation is welcoming and clean is an investment in time slowing down. I'm a team member at Regal Theaters. The lines are huge before the movies start. Two hours of selling popcorn and candy flies by. It's that period between the showings that everything comes to a grinding halt. That's when I grab the towels and cleaning supplies and clean the handrails to the lights. Investing my energy into the building that people escape to slows down time. It's amazing how your imagination gets regenerated when you allow it to breathe. Break free of the rat race and locate a job nobody wants to do. Invest your energy into something horribly boring and you will begin to grow in ways that time took away years ago.

Bosses aren’t born, they’re “Made in Staten Island.” Staten Island was home to New York’s most notorious mafia families. Now, a new crop of hustlers has emerged in MTV’s “Made in Staten Island,” premiering Monday, January 14th. The coming-of-age series follows eight Staten Islanders as they battle each other, and the odds, to step out from the shadows and change the reputation of the island. These friends will either choose wisely, or fall prey to the mistakes of past generations.
Karina has a mafia bloodline and attitude to match. Luckily, she has the guidance of her grandfather, Sammy ‘The Bull’ Gravano, and mother Karen Gravano of “Mob Wives.”
Christian "C.P." is a lover and a fighter. He has a big heart and swag that makes all the girls swoon.
Talk with both about growing up in Staten Island and paving a new path for themselves.

When our head and body ache we rush to the drug store to get an instant fix. I recently came down with pneumonia and was kind of upset that I didn't start feeling better by the next day. We are in love with the idea of feeling great not just today but everyday. On this podcast I talk about walking in a church in the 1990's wanting to be fixed. I was suffering from depression. The more I hurt the more I saw the pain in other people's eyes. I wanted to be healed. What I learned is that without a relationship with the greater power the church is just a building. I put myself on a vision quest. To reach beyond the four walls of what I thought was the quick fix and see where this higher power truly was being seen as well as heard. I've documented the entire journey inside my daily writing. Which has become a huge tool used on several different radio shows. Getting fixed. To be broken didn't all of a sudden happen. In order to be fixed you have to study the paths of choice. How do you want to be fixed? Where do you think you need to be fixed? Why do you feel its so important to be fixed? When will you convince yourself that it could take an entire lifetime? What will you learn from it? How will you teach others? Duct Tape doesn't fix anything. It only mends in the moment it makes contact. What kind of fix are you looking for?

I sat staring at a tomato plant. It's rooting system looked incredibly healthy but there were no flowers on each limb or vine. It was a beautiful plant that obviously was living well. No tomatoes though. It shaped my next thought, how do we look to the passerby or even ourselves? What is being shown on the outside that may come across as being strong, vibrant in color and healthy but there's no fruit? On this podcast I jump onto the idea of facing the situation where we can't let go of who we used to be and find energy in what we're about to become. Cutting off what you've already done so that fruit regain the core energy of the original seed. Absolutely ego and confidence play a role in this decision. Nothing shatters a heart more then when you let go of something that's taken a long time to create and or achieve. Unless there is fruit it's actually a waste of time. We toss it out by way of self judgement or the business world begins to look away because in this day of every moment change it comes across as you're not keeping up. Trim back the limbs of your success. Have the courage to let everything that you are rebuild it's system of existence.

The things we say but don't realize how it's being received. Little things like someone proudly displaying what seems to be a peaceful place, "I'm an open person. I open my heart to all things." Think about that. They just told me their open heart lets the entire dog pound into their soul and everyday they're forced to clean up. On this podcast I dive into a little bit of Yoga Nidra talk. Mindfully being present in your now. At four this morning a thought entered my time of meditation, "I went back to the origin to see if I foresaw." It didn't say I went into the past. I don't walk there. It says I went back to the origin of Nidra to see if it foresaw. As much as we see Yoga and Meditation as being those things we do to locate simple sips of exercise or relaxation, both serve a side of your journey that doesn't open your heart. It clears it. Being clear of what stresses you is a far better place then accepting temptation to move into the areas that bring attempts to life in places you want to replace. Don't confuse Nidra with sleep. It's not one in the same. Nidra doesn't hold on to our consciousness. Most of the time you're aware of the sounds around you and or anything that takes the shape of activity. Dreams tend to react whereas Nidra lets it move through you. Don't be so open with your walk. Teach yourself to clear the path.

Sitting within a winter forest without snow magnifies the importance of growth. Winter is a transition period not just for trees and nature but each of us are dropping things and looking like faded gray sticks slowly pacing our way through whatever storms the holidays pushed us into. On this podcast I talk about my uncles collection of trees in Ranchester, Wyoming and how he created an incredible relationship with them. He depended on those tall sticks stuck in mud to help protect his home from the brutal winter storms. Which invited me to think about our present chapters. What have we surrounded our lives with that offer the same type of atmosphere? How long is winter in the average persons life? I've talked with multiple people that have been enduring winter for three to five years. My master in Martial Arts always reminded us of how that's a choice. If winning is a choice so is the speed chosen to move through a dark cloud or fog bank. This isn't a preachy presentation today. It's more of an observation. The awareness of how we use something as simple as our words, "I have to go to work today." You have to? No you really don't. You're given the daily opportunity to create with other people that will help change the lives of customers and or clients. Winning is a choice. It starts with making your bed each morning. The very second you put your feet on the floor turn around and make the bed. It will do incredible things to your mind body and soul.

There's no denying it. I am a people watcher. I find it to be rewarding in so many ways. People make me laugh. The things they say when their hearts assume nobody is listening. The way we dream while slowly walking beside a window at the mall. Clearly I can tell that the majority of us have aching bodies. I'm seeing thirty year old's limping or beginning to walk hunched over. On this podcast we jump into the subject of how much weight we're throwing onto our backs without ever locating a reason or purpose to dump it. We're emotionally attached. The things we add to our moving chapters are associated with happier times. Happy as in I went onto Amazon because I needed to buy something. It grabbed you an inch or two of good vibes and letting it go might mean you're now going to forget that feeling created when you added it to the cart. I recently did a movie promotion at a retirement village. I was shocked to see the older generation dancing to Bruno Mars, Katie Perry, Flo Rida and more. I turned to the Entertainment Director and laid it on the line, "Where's the Sinatra, Dean Martin and Buddy Holly?" Her reply, "You see them as old. They see themselves as very young just trapped in a body that doesn't move like it used to." The outside of our bodies may come across as young and vibrant but your body language is showing your age. Stress is created by us. It's path of destruction creates a lifetime of change. Allow all that is... to move through you. Stop hording the good and bad experiences. Make more. Then let it go.

You didn't get to your present place because a higher power of the universe gifted you with a brilliant ray of light. What you endure on a daily basis by way of experience formed the path that which you have placed your weight. Making mistakes has made you stronger. Stop looking at yourself in the mirror and seeing a failure. Grip the reins of the journey and begin your path of understanding the growth of your process. If life was handed to you, you'd drop it and search for something bigger and better. You aren't bored at your job! The system of chance and choice doesn't challenge you to become greater than yesterday. On this podcast I challenge you to look at temptation as a door opener and accept the trails and trials of being a truer self. I get it! You furthered your education to become and life hasn't paid off. You can't buy experience. You can set sail across a huge open field hoping to realize the adventure but something will always get in the way. You... It's too easy to want security and safety. We'er extremely willing to punch in but hate it when the lack of experience makes us look like screw ups. Laugh it off. I endlessly ask my mother, "Was I a moment a moment of love in your life or makeup sex?" It's time to unlock perfection and welcome misguided direction. It's a a world to be experienced by trippers, stumblers, ball droppers and weirdo thinkers. Life is art. Start acting like an artist.

The things we say or forget to say that cause us to say, "Hmm." Not,"Oh wow!" Just, "Hmm" It serves as a reminder or an unexpected twist in a meandering river of constant flow. On this podcast I get a little preachy about the hmm moments that are connected to the universe and how it moves through us. No matter how much you deny the existence of anything invisible controlling the steps of change and opportunity, the invisible side of possibility is present with a plan and purpose. Learning how to turn it into a tool is the journey. We are the generation of we want a victory right now or I'm going a different direction. Its funny how we know what we want but don't grasp the process of progress and how much we'll appreciate it more if we allow ourselves to let time be the guide and not our demands. I recently spoke with Janice Robinson who made her way through The X Factor in the UK. It took her 30 years to reach that stage. She was never angry because she knew in her heart how important the entire journey has been. I share with future broadcasters that it's taken 36 years to finally reach where I want to be in radio. I've had a lot of mountains and metal walls that stood in front of me but nothing kept the childhood dream from fading. Hmm. Those little reminders of where you are and where you once stood. Taking notes of the present place of now will endlessly serve your purpose in the years and decades ahead.

What's Keeping You From Trusting The Power Of Now

So many changes move through us on a hourly basis. Too much is stuffed into our process of thinking which causes us to react. Sometimes not in the best way. It happens all the time on the social media. The event then the action which causes a reaction leading to more action. Suddenly you're miles off your expectations of the day and can't find your way back to Oz. On this podcast I step into a sip of why it's so important to keep yourself locked on mindfully living in the present. Being available for your "Now" is the one place you have control over. Your past is gone. The future needs your present place to build a strong foundation for you to arrive. Thinking of yourself as a river seems like an odd ball conversation for crazy artists that want to tap into their creative juices. That right there dams the flow of energy endlessly arriving in your mind body and soul. Most of it is wasted on where you once stood or your dreams are so tall that you're too quick to put up the ladder and try to climb over the obstacles planted on the path without your permission. You didn't get to this place of "Now" by being a bystander. Somewhere in between the questions you realized that you didn't need an answer. You just did it. Go there again. Quit comparing your history to those around you and find trust in what's happening in your "Now." There's always room to grow forward and outward. Be great at being you.

Seems like an odd title. How can there be strength in sand when our eyes have been fed billions of pictures of sand blowing across an open desert or flowing chaotically down a rivers floor? That's what I assumed in June of 2016 when daily writing. My pen was shouting out, "I need a strong foundation and not a sandy shore laying next to an ocean." Look at how much sand goes in and out on that map. On this podcast we dig into the strength of sand and how it has a way of working its way through your challenges and challenges. Sand used to be a solid rock only to become solid again once free of it's first identity. Those dreams of becoming successful didn't payoff the way you have endlessly hoped. The personal value of the decision you've made don't gain the respect you once were delivered. Things have broken off you day after day. Trust the strength of your sand.
