Lotus Flower/TGIF

Hello There, its another Friday and I'm basking in gratitude, just for the opportunity to 'be'. The weekend for most is a time to release, a time to break free, and relax. For this weeks TGIF I'm going to approach my message in hopes of a 'breakthrough'. It is with a heavy heart to acknowledge my disappointment that we're in 2012 and a subject that continues to plague our society, time and time again has reared it's ugly head RACISM and PREJUDICES. Keeping in the theme is to be authentic to whatever our emotions are, in doing so you may come to the realization that at one time or another we've all had a racist thought, or acknowledged a prejudice. This lesson is a collective effort in hopes of healing and awareness. I would be silly If I thought I was treading on new waters.

As Americans we have the luxury of having a charmed life, and I think we've grown accustomed to whatever comfort zones we tend to dwell in. It's basically walking with blinders on, if it's not happening to us, we say nothing, we tend to be oblivious to the ways of the world. Its a very imbecile approach to the greater scope of life. The duty that is thrust upon us as individuals is to seek complete truth and constantly challenge the close minded way of thinking out of our consciousness.

We are a rainbow colored people uniquely beautiful in our on way, and divinely diverse. Just like a Lotus Flower, we're put her to inspire people to continue striving through difficulties and to show compassion, so again we all know racism and prejudices exist. Like a breathtaking flower, we have so many layers and with each petal that fall, we need to free ourselves and cleanse. Maybe it's my naivete or wishful thinking, I truly believe that we can change a wrong, with a new take on a very worn out subject. Let us start by acknowledging our hatreds, fears and bigotry that exist within us and work through the thought process backwards, to pinpoint where the problem began, and approach it from that standpoint. Let the healing begin. RIP Trayvon Martin.

What Are you Doing With Your Life?

Command Performance

I love this love performance of Beyonce' and the live instrumentation of this performance. This is how it suppose to be done, talent, glitter, performance and glam. Every now and a again a simple feel good song comes along and it tags at your heart strings, "Love On Top" is that type of song for me. Personally for me it's where I am in my life, and It feels so good to know that others can stand up and damn near demand the type of treatment that they deserve. The melody is pulsating, the lyrics make you pay attention and the on point vocals drives it home. With radio choosing only what their idea of hits should be in 'rotation' it's nice to know that some people still think outside the box and take up back to the era of lyric, melody and delivery; before there was a lot of computer programming noise that gets away from what true music and artistry truly is. When you put the needle to this record be prepared to smile and feel those special things that your heart allows you to feel when it's right. Bravo Beyonce' for kicking it R&B style.

I came to SING and SING I Did!!!!

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE GONE ..... What's it all about Alfie? Is it just for the moments we live ....

Justice For Trayvon Martin....

As an Black male, everyday you risk your life, just to have a place in society, a place where you're constantly told that you're not good enough, not strong enough, and of course not smart enough. How horrific to think that in 2012, one still has to be selective about what neighborhoods you're allowed to walk and roam in, and even worse, you have to be conscious about the attire that you're wearing, as to NOT offend and be pigeonholed into a certain stereotype. The enemy is among us, and the wicked sometimes appear to be righteous. For every little black boy, who grew into a young man, then into adulthood, I salute you, because I too, share your same struggles. The sweet taste of victory, is to know and understand the game, that you were never invited to play, and that game is to be just as smart as them, just as good looking as them, to know how to govern yourself in any circle that you come in contact with. To know that God will never discriminate, to know that you matter and above all, to thy own self you must be true. In forgiveness, you learn to accept every one's shortcomings, as imperfection lives in all of us. RIP Trayvon, you didn't die in vain. #In Solidarity

Venus Williams Vows To Return To The Top

It's true! Venus Williams has vowed to rise again after her illness!

She has been diagnosed with an incurable illness called Sjogren's syndrome, which affects energy levels and causes pain in the joints.

Here's what she said:

"I just didn't feel well before my second-round match, to the point where I couldn't play. At the beginning of the tournament, I wasn't sure how far I would get or what I would do, I was kind of living on a hope and a dream.When you don't feel well and things are taken away from you, it's hard to stay positive. But, for me, it is not an option to get negative or to feel sorry for myself. It's easy to say, 'I've done enough' -- or it would be easy to go on a permanent vacation. But I need to look back and know that I gave everything. I know I still have so much more. Before I was sick I was on top of the world in singles and doubles. So that's my goal, to return to that.
"I'm looking forward to coming back. Sjogren's syndrome definitely changed my life, it changed everything. It changed how I eat, it changed my whole life."

Here's her plan of action to manage her disease:

"I don't think the road will be perfect, but I think I can get it as close to perfect as possible. My hope is to be symptom-free one day. I work with my doctors on that, but also I work on my diet, which I've found has been huge. With Sjogren's you deal with a lot of fatigue and joint pain and inflammation. It's because of the things I'm eating. I've started eating raw, vegan, unprocessed foods, doing lots of juicing, I juice twice a day. I drink wheatgrass. For me, it's worth doing everything I can to get back to what I love doing."

Venus you've always been my favorite so I'm ROOTING for you! Kevin K.

The Queen Of Soul turns 70 .....

Happy Birthday Ms. Aretha Franklin. The legendary singer turns 70 today. Her voice is a national treasure, and she's a household name. Hearing Aretha's voice warms your heart, and always takes you the best memories of your life.

Love and Light/TGIF

Happy Friday Everyone,
I'm back from what seems like outer space, and I haven't been writing too much lately, my mind has been all over the place. The world will move whether you decide to have an active role in the unfolding or not. Easy moments are temporary, as time goes on and you live a little more, you understand survival is the real gain in the story of life. Sometimes you spin in a circle and virtually going nowhere, but see the blessing in the spin.

Desires of your heart may not always be kind, but those desires are part of what makes your complete package so great. So what the love that you saw for you, or that you felt would complete you, never ever really cared for you, nor about you. Love is that emotion that thrusts you out of this stratosphere, the highs and the lows of it, is the worthwhile effort. I came to learn, I came to live, and if by chance, I touched your life, or you touched mine, then how can that be viewed as a bad thing.

Hurt and disappointment is as old as time, some relationships, say a tense family type reality, a lover type situation or a close friendship, in the end disappointment can play a pivotal role. Pain is an emotion, and from that pain, a lesson is learned, God was in pain as he was nailed to the cross, but he endured that pain for us. Your plight isn't nearly as painful as the pain he endured. Questions are for the inquisitive mind and that's a very healthy thing, in the bigger scope of things in life unlocks the light within.

What Are You Doing With Your Life?

The White House Is a Rocking......

WOW....thats all I can say. Our First Lady Michelle Obama really brought her A-Game to her photo session, and revealed her inner "Sister Soul Super Hero".

Whitney Houston ..... "Accidental Drowning"

Toxicology reports that the cause of death of Superstar Whitney Houston, was an Accidental Drowning, that could have been brought on by a Heart Attack, NOT A DRUG OVERDOSE....NOT pills, as widely speculated. ATTENTION Media, it's time to move pass sensationalized reporting, deal with FACTS!! Houston was found dead in her Beverly Hilton's hotel room on February 11-2012, she was 48 years old.

Essence befitting tribute to ICON...

Oh If Only Children Ran The World....

This ad is FULLY on point, it's gets no better than this. The picture says it all, and such a true statement. Parents put the poison in the minds of children. Collectively, I think we could change the world, if we took a moment to follow a child's lead.

Cognitive/TGIF

Happy Friday Everyone.
For every encounter that you experience in your life is to realize
that at another time and place you've been that person. We live to
interchange and the exchange is the fruits of your efforts and labor.

Dreams are consciousness thoughts, and is a nice form of escapism. To
dream in color is from optimism and the ability to expand your mind, it
says that your open to a new thought process. Routine will only
stagnate you with the same results.
