In honor of International Women’s Day may I say, vagina vagina vagina.

For every woman who has had to fight to survive in her own home, who has been told she was nothing and kept moving forward anyway, who put up with being paid less, laid less, kicked off ladders due by fearful men and women and who kept holding on, kept climbing, kept building bridges and laying stones for new pathways.

For women of the past, present and future – thank you.

Everything you do affects everything else, so what are you doing? 

I witnessed a man get so angry and frustrated that each minute just got worse.  He was gripping his steering wheel and driving angrily along the freeway calling out to everyone, “Are you a stupid idiot?” When in reality, he was the one being an idiot.  Observing him made me feel like a scientist studying an alien species.  Actually, I felt like a whole human watching another human stuck in their humanness.

He was mad about everything and everything bad kept happening to him to make him madder. It was like he was pulling anger towards him with the huge magnet of his mind.  I said maybe he was creating all frustration with the energy he was putting out.  That irritated him.  I didn’t take it personally or dive into the chaos with him. I just stayed present and offered my support and guidance when I could.  I get cranky when I’m hungry so I searched for food on my phone but not quick enough. He raced to a place he knew.  He scrapped his car on the curb as he parked.  When he got out of the car a twenty dollar bill miraculously flew from his pocket and disappeared.  I suggested that was the universe taking an anger tax.  Then he dropped his phone and it broke into pieces.  I said he should show down.  He paced. I asked him if he could tell that he was doing all this to himself.  He could see it but he felt too mad to get out of it.  Breathing helped.  Walking helped.  Eating helped since he had missed lunch he said.  When I did a funny little freaky dance move, that helped. He asked what I was doing and I said I had to shake off his energy because it was affecting my space.  Then he stopped.

Now, whomever clicked on this post because someone has called you a stupid idiot before, I’m so sorry.  The same theory of everything you do affecting everything else applies in your case too. It’s time to rewire those neuro pathways in your brain.  Whoever said that was in their own stuff tossing out their own anger, frustration, anxiety etc. It’s now a matter of what you do with it.  Do you toss it onto others or do you toss it in the trash and give yourself love?  By the way, the I love you, squish is backwards so you can see it in the mirror when you wear the T-shirt.   Nothing like looking in the mirror and changing what you’re saying to the world. It affects how you see it too.

My first memoir, Finding Angela Shelton, is now download-able.  The audio version is on the way.  I say first memoir because there’s a lot more to my life than my childhood or my work in the trauma and recovery field.  In other words, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Ellen Bass, author of Courage to Heal, says, Though she takes on serious issues, Angela Shelton is joyous, irreverent, funny, and feisty.

The message of the book to all call to action for all survivors to find joy instead of getting caught in repeated cycles of trauma and abuse.  It points out that healing is an act of revolution. I share the dreams I had daily while on the trip of Searching for Angela Shelton.  Many of those dreams have now become a reality.  I encourage you to get this for therapists in your area, support groups, survivor networks and anyone who has been through sexual or domestic violence or works with survivors. It is already mandatory reading in classrooms across the country.  What it has done has been amazing.  Much like the documentary was, I think the book is something much bigger and far beyond “Angela Shelton.”  It’s my service work to inspire survivors and those who support them.  It’s an honor.

I’m working on new movies, a TV series and new products that I hope will make you laugh, inspire you and make you feel – well, all warm and fuzzy inside.

You can get the book and other items on the Ejunkie store.  The products on there are part of the affiliate program too for those who want to spread the word and make a % of the sales.  That’s always fun.  I’m working on adding many more products on there that help you lead a fulfilled fun-filled life.

Watch that video to your right please. What is up with all of the unneeded mail you get in your mailbox? I saw a tweet about newspapers ad inserts becoming obsolete. The comment was about how sad it was that the people who create those inserts will lose their jobs. It got me thinking. First of all, newspapers would be better off if they were all printed on hemp and then not only would there still be jobs, we’d be working smarter, not harder.  And printing on hemp has nothing to do with stoners or drugs or licking the paper inserts.  Hemp is what we should be printing on. The only reason we aren’t using hemp is because it’s illegal. And it’s illegal because the big-wig tree cutter (Hearst) saw that papers were going to be printed on hemp (because that makes way more sense) and he promptly set up a campaign in his tree-paper newspapers about how the drug was so bad. The campaign successfully scared the bejesus out of people about the horrible mary-jane-wanna and got the whole plant to become illegal (with the help of his other rich friends in Washington). So our rich friend kept his papers printed on trees.  Now you get insert ads and lots of them. Don’t even get me started on the ink and the shipping.  Printing on hemp and soy ink makes the most sense but that’s an entirely different article.

I’m talking about the insert ads. Good thing or bad thing? Why not get an E-coupon?  Why not just have everything on sale? Why do you get all this paper that you throw away anyway?

And by the way, when you watch that video to your right – I saw the Earthlings and now when I see pictures of meat, it makes me want to vomit, literally.  I’m still Southern. I still dive into denial and eat organic meat (yeah right, it’s still death).  I know, I know. Vomit.  Have a glass of hemp milk.

Thank you to the Life Vessel for helping me get back on my bike!

I am finally out of the wheelchair, walking and up on stage again, and best of all I’m back on my mountain bike again!   Thanks to the lovely people at the Life Vessel in Santa Fe, I am now able to walk with no pain and no surgery!

As many of you who are my Facebook friends know, I injured my back very badly as I was traveling to a speaking gig last year.  I had a herniated disk and three compressed disks.  It was the worst pain of my entire life.  I’d take an ex husband and my dad over that pain any day.  That was some serious pain. I’ve never experienced anything like it.  I was in a wheelchair for eight weeks and had to fly on 27 planes and do speaking engagements while bent over in a back brace, but I kept my sense of humor!  Only those who had been through it could understand and helped me – much like other types of pain like child sexual abuse.

With the help of Aly Drummond, Lindsay Eberts and Fiona Eberts, Denise Sherwin and all the lovely people at the Life Vessel, I was able to avoid surgery and get back on my feet again, literally.

I was flying into Kansas City, MO to speak at the MOCSA event recently and my flight was canceled due to the fact that a cable was broken, causing the plane to have no brakes! Everyone on board lined up and was in a fuss to get on board the next flights out. I was unable to stand up so I couldn’t stand in line at all.  I had to sit and wait for another wheelchair when this lovely woman named Tammy offers to stand in line for me.  She was able to get the last two seats on the next flight to Kansas.  We had to transfer in Washington, DC though.  When the skycab in DC literally pushed me to the curb and left me stranded there with no wheelchair and no help with my bags, Tammy was the one who found a new wheelchair, got me and my bags safely to the next plane just in time and saved the day.  Sticking with the repeated message in Searching for Angela Shelton that everything happens for a reason, it turned out that Tammy worked for Meet Up.com unlike other social networks, it is all about meeting in person in your community.  This came after I’d been saying or years that the Army of Angels need to meet in person!  I still say libraries are the best places.

I love little miracles.  The next miracle for me is to be on a fixed bike!  That’s no gears, no breaks.  Oh just you wait. Much more fun to come. A dancing rig for trapeze, ariel dancing and circus tricks is being built in my backyard.

I shot the video to your right so you could see my giddy-joyousness on my bike.  You may not be able to text and drive but I can film and bike!  I can even ride with no hands.

I have grown to really love Facebook as many of us have.

But now I have an issue.  We have detected suspicious activity on your Facebook account and have temporarily suspended your account as a security precaution. (Don’t worry, my page is still up)

I have loads of friend requests and since there is a limit of 5000 friends, I am careful to add people that I actually know or have met or is a friend of a friend.  I’m directing everyone else to my Facebook page. But I get this message from Facebook:

What the hell?  Are you taking into consideration the influencers like Jeff Pulver?  He wrote a post about only being allowed 5000 friends too.  This isn’t spam.  We’re answering real people with real messages.  So, Mark Zuckerberg, you’re the smarty pants entrepreneur.  Are we supposed to just ignore people?  I can hear the argument of just not allowing people to befriend us in the first place and message us instead.  But seriously, I do know more than 5000 people.  I want them to be able to add me when they see me online.  You, Zucerberg, fell under the Scientists and Thinkers category for your web phenomenon.  Now, what about those of us who have huge little black books, lists, audiences, and business cards?  What do you do?

Is Facebook teaching us to be rude and just ignore people?  For those waiting to befriend me, the delay is due to the fact that I want to send you a message in the most efficient way possible to make us both happy.  But apparently I go too fast and give too much!  Jeez.  Is that the story of my life or what?  Even Facebook tells me I’m too much.   Mom!!!

What would Mark Zuckerberg do?

This is to all the good men out there.  I wrote a post about the freaks and creeps but wasn’t talking about you. I know many of you good men out there and this is the shout-out to you.  Hallelujah for you. Thanks for being patient.  Thanks for putting up with us.  This is to all of the good fathers I’ve met, my adopted BACA dads, my adopted dad Jake, the men who made sure of it that I ate and had a roof over my head, the loves of my life (the good ones), male feminists, men working to protect kids, male survivors in the trauma movement, my mentors, all the men who made it possible for women like me to move forward in this world and the good men stuck in this strange time in between when you ruled the roost with your fist to watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.  It’s hard for you good guys sometimes.  Thank you to all of you who are in touch with your inner feminine, who understand that times are shifting and who roll with it and remain good men.

And to my love, I’m sorry for all the times I acted like a crazy beeeeach.  Thank you for making this world a better place by being in it.  Thank you for your patience and belief in me.  Thank you for understanding that I’m dedicated to a mission and a cause.  Thank you for not giving me grief for farting in bed.  Thanks for nurturing my lower back issues and taking your time with me.  Thanks for learning new ways of thinking and doing.  Thanks for doing things like Ariel dancing playshops with me.  Thank you for giving me my space to travel on my own.  Thanks for being secure and confident in yourself and not holding it against me when I’m submerged in work and you don’t hear from me for days.  I love you. I appreciate you. I think you’re mighty fine and I love that you’re in my life.  Happy Valentine’s Day.

Happy Valentines Day!  If you love your lady, don’t buy her a conflict diamond and don’t start any conflicts.  Simple.  Love each other and yourselves.  Get yourself a V-Day present or donate to V-Day.

I have witnessed so many women and girls being squashed by men and boys.  There always seems to be conflict around the holidays too. I think the societal pressure to buy buy buy doesn’t help with the stress people are already under in relationships either.  But there’s no excuse for squashing Princesses and Queens!  Usually, it’s a beautiful girl being dimmed by a not so attractive guy.  It’s amazing to watch from an outsider’s perspective.  First of all, you’re wondering how in the world did that guy get that girl.  Scratch your head.  If you knew the history of her childhood, you’d probably understand it a lot better.  She has the self-esteem of a peanut and feels lucky to have him.  She doesn’t see what a queen she is and the guy knows it.  It’s like they have a sixth sense about it.  They can spot their prey like a lion stalks a gazelle.  Of course these guys aren’t lions, they’re more like hyenas.   He knows that when she wakes up, she’s going to see that he’s a toad so he keeps her light dimmed by using all kinds of tactics to blind her.  He’d have to do a lot more soul searching, healing and self-realization work before he’d be able to be around amazing women, much less be in a relationship with one.  I’ve seen men do this to women so many times and experienced it myself.  I just saw it the other night in fact with a beautiful young girl.  She was so lovely that it was hard to take your eyes off her, one of those model beauties who you want to photograph or draw.   And she’s with a guy who calls her names, picks her apart, berates and belittles her and is an all around loser.  When you see her and see him you scratch your head again.  He uses the Pick Up Artist’s tactics too.  He squashes. She shrinks.   He’s got to do that in his mind because that’s the only way for him to have control over her.  Otherwise there’s no way that he’d even get the number of a girl like that.  He tells her that she’s ugly (big fat lie), that she’s stupid (maybe asleep at the moment, she is with him), she’ll never amount to anything (if she stays with him), that she’s flawed, fat and blemished (he is) and that he can’t take her anywhere (because other men would see her and how he treats her, bash his face in and steal his girl).  It’s amazing to watch them both do this sad dance.  You want to jerk out your megaphone and give them both a schooling but alas, you can’t always do that.  You have to let people learn for themselves sometimes.  Of course you can pull the beauty aside and help her see herself.

What if people worked on their own issues before getting into relationships and for sure before procreating?  What if two whole humans had a relationship where they help each other succeed at their different life journeys?

What if all those Princesses and Queens woke up?

I will be speaking at the Northern California Screenwriter and Filmmaker Expo March 26, 27 & 28, 2010. I’m going with my friend and casting director Marci Liroff.

They have videos up on YouTube. Notice how the Embed option is locked down on the share tab. Not a good idea at all in this age. Sharing videos and allowing others to share your work is how you spread the word. Part of what I’ll be talking about to artists up there is getting away from the whole mine me mine thinking.  That old school way of thinking about the Internet will keep you locked into you and you only.  It’s about the audience and allowing them to share.

I wrote about writing your hero story before and about my next film.  At the Expo I’m going to be talking about being an independent filmmaker and having direct contact with your audience.  It’s the audience who rules the game.  I’ll show writers and filmmakers how to get over the fear and/or irritation of social media and speak with their audience about their work.

Writing is re-writing first of all.  Revise and revise again.  It’s not like you’re going to write a screenplay or book and then bam, it’s going to be sold and shot and win all the awards.  It’s work and writing is rewriting. That’s not to say your idea or concept isn’t an award winning bestseller one.  It’s just that it’s hard work to get your story out there but I think writing is so fun.  I see it as more play than work, even the rewriting part.

I’m speaking at the Screenwriter and Filmmaker’s Expo on March 28th in Napa. Come up!   I’ve had many people ask me how to write their story so here goes. I wrote a post about starting with a mind-map first. It’s a great way to get your fabulous idea on paper and to find your story. You may have a great idea but it still needs to end up on the page and into the hands of others.

What’s the story?

We all have a story. Sometimes it’s the story of your life.  Sometimes it’s a story you witnessed on the bus ride home. Sometimes it’s a true story and sometimes it came to you in a dream or just popped into your head while you were pulling weeds.  Whatever the story – what is it?   Can you tell the story over dinner?  What about during the car ride to the store?  What about in the elevator?  That’s where the 2 min elevator pitch term comes from.  You need to be able to sum up the story.  By summing it up, it actually helps you focus on what your story is too and not run off on too many tangents.

• For example with my doc Searching for Angela Shelton the story is:  My name is Angela Shelton and I drove around the country to meet all the other Angela Sheltons who would talk to me to survey women in America. There are many more details to the story but that sums it up.  That hooks them.  Then you give them the rest.
  

  Who’s Your Hero?

Every story has a hero.  Who is your hero?  You can be writing about a group of people but there is probably one main hero or shero in there. According to dictionary.com the definition of hero is:

he⋅ro

/ˈhɪəroʊ/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [heer-oh] Show IPA

–noun, plural -roes; for 5 also -ros.

Men men men, gimme some heroine. Katharyn Bigelow received the feature award from the Director’s Guild of America!

her⋅o⋅ine

/ˈhɛroʊɪn/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [her-oh-in] Show IPA

–noun

Notice how the female version is shorter than the male’s and doesn’t include a sandwich or the drug heroine.  Interesting.  There’s a story – write about that!  What do we gather from these definitions?  That you can write a story about a sandwich!  Actually, you can.  Your hero can be a sandwich or heroine, sure it can!  Think outside the box.  Start writing.

Nowadays you don’t have to wait until a publisher reads your work and decides if you’re fit to be read – you can start a blog.  You can put your movie online for everyone to see.  You can share your story right here right now as you write it.

Joseph Campbell’s explanation of the hero’s (or shero’s or heroine’s) journey in The Hero with a Thousand Faces fits well for pretty much every story from the silliest of comedies to the most intense gut wrenching dramas. Christopher Vogler writes about it in The Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers, 3rd Edition

Writing with the hero’s journey as an outline is a great way to roll out the main crust of your story and then fill in the goodies.

Campbell describes a number of stages or steps along this journey. Departure (sometimes called Separation), Initiation and Return. “Departure” deals with the hero venturing forth on the quest, “Initiation” deals with the hero’s various adventures along the way, and “Return” deals with the hero’s return home with knowledge and powers acquired on the journey. (via Wikipedia)

• Act I

The hero is in the ordinary world – just a plain ole sandwich in a plain sandwich shop.

The hero receives a call to enter an unusual world – a call to adventure – the sandwich dreams of being a foot-long.

The hero doesn’t want to do it, then takes the first step – the sandwich squeezes itself into a foot long designer bag.

The hero steps into a strange new world and must face tasks and trials - the sandwich enters the city.

• Act II

Mentors, friends, adversaries show up – the cook loves the sandwich, his old bagel buddies are proud, the rats try to eat him.

The hero must survive a challenge (many times with help from friends) - the sandwich falls down the trash shoot and is taken away by the rats.

The hero wins the battle (or dies) – the sandwich has to fend of the rats, loosing half his top.

• Act III

The hero achieves a great goal or gains the elixir  (many times causing create change within the hero) - Miraculously the sandwich inches by the rats while their sleeping and jumps into the lunch-pail of a passing worker.

The hero returns to the ordinary world (many times facing challenges on the way) - the worker brings the sandwich into the sandwich shop, bigger, longer and wiser.

If the hero is successful, the elixir may be used to improve the world - the sandwich becomes the most sought after miracle sandwich which inspires many condiments.

Now, you can gobble that sandwich up and replace it with just about anything.  Watch movies now and see where the hero’s journey falls into play.  It’s in most every story.  There’s a huge hero’s journey in my next film Hawk Dances.

The little Easter Egg image in the center, as Khayyam calls it,  shows up when someone DMs me (direct message).  Those of you Army of Angels who are now on Twitter are doing a fantastic job @thearmyofangels.  You can change your twitter background by going to your twitter account, clicking on settings, then design, then change background image. From there you upload a new image.  Here’s an article on Mashable about How to Create Custom Twitter Backgrounds.

The next feature film that I’m writing and directing is called Hawk Dances.

Hawk Dances is the true story about how one Native American man’s vision became an international movement to protect children – Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA).

Hawk Dances is the story of the spiritual quest of Chief, the founder of BACA, with the red tailed hawk as his Spirit guide. As a young boy he was abused by his dirty cop neighbor who had also stolen back patches of bikers with the RICO Act as his excuse. Beating a biker and taking his colors is much like a scalping but at 8-years-old, Chief didn’t know that.  He just wanted to get even with his abuser so he took the trophy back patches from the cop’s garage and returned them to the biker club they belonged to.

When the bikers saw this young boy had returned their colors, he was adopted and protected immediately.  Not only did he get a new family, his abuse ended for good.

Growing up with the duality of the Native American teachings and the biker code, Chief learned about brotherhood and family.  He left the hardcore bikers ways to become a child play therapist in order to help other abused kids.  When he saw how child after child was being abused, he wracked his brain about how to bring the strength of his culture together with the biker brotherhood to protect abused kids. Bikers Against Child Abuse was born.

This movie already has a following.  When it comes out it won’t just be a movie, this is going to be the best ride of your life. My vision is to bring together community events that educate, empower and entertain.  I have a dream where there are day and evening events with movie screenings, bike rallies, concerts and community outreach where local organizations meet each other, where parents and protectors learn how to keep kids safe and where we all have a fantastic time.

I see a world where the child rapist is no longer allowed to live.

Proceeds from the film are going towards not only creating Camp BACA but sustaining it for years to come.  Camp BACA exists with the intent to provide abused children and their families a respite and a healing reprieve from the ordeal of abuse. Camp BACA will provide a safe, tranquil environment in which children and their families can come to rest, recreate, and experience peace. Camp BACA will rejuvenate families by involving them in outdoor, supervised and professionally conducted activities, creating new memories for the families and providing them with opportunities to attach closer to one another.  Camp BACA will also insure that the parent(s) of the families are emotionally, financially, and strategically prepared to return to their homes. Camp BACA will work in conjunction with all BACA Chapters throughout the country and the world to bring needy and wounded families to a place of healing, peace, and protection.

It is time for communities to bond.  There is no community without unity and there is no unity without u.

For those who know me personally, you know I don’t mess around.  I work on projects that help uplift, educate and inspire people otherwise what’s the point of all the hard work?  This is my favorite project to date. Not only am I making the best possible film, my team and I are doing it in a rebel way outside of the old system.  We are raising money from sponsors and from gifts so that there is no debt.  Those who support this film are those who want child abuse to end.

You can gift the movie with love and money through the Hawk Dance’s paypal account. These are not tax write-offs, these are gifts and everyone contrinbuting will be put on the HawkDances.com website we are building.  If you have an organization or a website we will link to it there as well.  Please become a fan of our page too.  Thank you so much for your support and belief.

The National Family Court Watch donated $1000 to the movie because I touch upon the issues behind family court corruption in the film too.  Thank you for giving whatever you can towards this film being made and helping create the movement behind it.  You are the reason we are making this movie.  Together we can protect our children and make this world a safer place – while being a part of an amazing project that will uplift, educate and inspire.

I was very happy to arrive to this year’s Sundance Film Festival and see that the theme is Rebel!  Oh yeah baby, you know how I feel about being a rebel. I spoke with Redford last night about why we make movies and he spoke about focusing on the social change more than anything. I love him.  Watch this video.

Speaking of being a rebel check out Nomosa!  No-More-Starving-Artists is not just their name, it’s their mission. Nomosa is committed to providing artists the opportunity to create financial sustainability through the use of an innovative web based platform developed by artists for artists.  I love them!  Be a rebel!

It’s time to become Rebel Stars. No more messing around with falling stars people, let’s bring it up a notch.

When I write about black holes it is to draw a comparison between organized perpetrators and black holes.  For those who don’t know about organized perpetrators – child rape, porn and trafficking is a multi-billion dollar business.  I call that the black hole. But the black hole could also be your job, your cult, your controlling family or whatever is acting like a black hole in your life. 

A black hole has two parts. At its core is a singularity, the infinitesimal point into which all the matter of the star gets crushed. Surrounding the singularity is the region of space from which escape is impossible, the perimeter of which is called the event horizon. Once something enters the event horizon, it loses all hope of exiting. Whatever light the falling body gives off is trapped, too, so an outside observer never sees it again. (read the article here)  That’s like organized perpetrators who steal the light of star babies.  You could also use the comparison of corporate America or the film industry robbing filmmakers, the music industry stealing from artists etc.

But then you have the Naked Singularity or the Rebel Star that breaks the rules. (like moi!)  Radio Head can be compared to exploding stars for bursting out of the box and going directly to their audience.  I can certainly be compared to a Rebel Star for breaking rules of distribution, getting out of traps and boxes, and finding escape routes.

Jacob Clifton explains the naked singularity in his article Where Spacetime Ends.  He writes: slowly collapsing fireballs become black holes, but if a fireball collapses rapidly enough, light does not become trapped and the singularity is naked. Naked singularities freak out physicists because it means that nature is inherently unpredictable: where general relativity breaks down, it can’t be used to predict or describe.

Scientific American editor in Chief John Rennie says in an interview: You see your regular singularity is something you would find deep inside a black hole. What happens with a black hole is you have a star that has consumed all of it’s fuel and now it’s nothing but a big ball of gravity collapsing in on top of itself; and it collapses in, and it collapses in, and it collapses in and all the matter of the star is now collapsed down to a single infinitesimal point…

If you’ve got a naked singularity, well the laws of physics don’t apply, anything could happen at any given moment, you know, player pianos could come shooting out of that thing, giant gravity waves of inconceivable energy.

The Rebel Star breaks rules, changes course, refuels and blasts out of the black hole, perplexing all and saving itself!

I announced my Rebel Star theory to the Battered Mother’s Custody Conference on Jan 8, 2010. I said we should become one massive Rebel Star of joyous Light energy to battle the black hole.  Like water rises collectively at the same level, when you have groups of people in misery and pain, that pain permeates the area around them.  When you come across a group who is giddy with the joy of being alive, it is infections.  As we all step out of old ways of thinking and poisonous behavior patterns and all raise our consciousness – anything can happen at any given moment. When a group collectively blasts force light and joy – the darkness ceases.  When awareness fills the room, ignorance fades.

I speak a lot with survivors of trauma about how healing is an act of revolution and how when you heal and live joyfully, you affect all things around you and by doing so those around you affect others and on and on…  I suggest we all join forces and become one Rebel Star.  I’m talking about a healing and awareness revolution that blasts us out of the twisted grips of the black hole.  The problem is that so many perpetrators are in positions of power and to those who know nothing about what their dark side, they may even look like stars.  When we’re in the middle of the black hole you can’t always see it, like you can’t always see the lies of mainstream media if you watch it religiously and refer to no other source.   It’s time for some major awareness and awakenings!

Get ready Army of Angels, I warned you that this year was going to be like bootcamp. Living fully and joyfully isn’t just about escaping the black hole, it’s about being enriched in your body mind and spirit.

I’ll see you on Sundays at noon from wherever I may be at the moment. You can also see it on the Facebook Page.
