From an email I received………… There is freedom in admitting that you don’t know something, as that allows for a new learning experience to emerge. There is wisdom in not knowing, and it is a wise person who can say, “I don’t know.” For no one knows everything. There are many types of wisdom – from intellectual to emotional to physical intelligence. Yet, even deemed experts in their fields do not know all there is…

From an email I received………. In Part 1, we talked about how the sleep cycle works. We also touched on some of the many reasons getting enough sleep is vital to living a long and healthy life. But what does the research really say? Can sleep deprivation really cause serious health effects? We’re going to dig into the research and answer these questions. Here are four science-backed ways sleep affects your health. 1. Sleep habits…
From an email I received……….. Let’s connect the dots between habits and health. It’s vital that you listen up because most Americans don’t get enough sleep. Whether the reason is work, binge-watching Netflix, or studying for an exam, the results are in: 35% of people in the U.S. don’t meet the recommended seven hours of sleep each night. It hasn’t always been this way. In 1910, people got an average of nine hours of sleep.…
From an email I received……….. Throughout the world, low levels of this critical mineral have become an epidemic. In the United States alone, more than 75% of the population is considered magnesium deficient and this number could be far higher. These statistics are based on people falling well below the Department of Agriculture’s recommended daily allowance (RDA). For decades, experts have insisted that the USDA’s numbers are too low so almost 100% of the population…
From an email I received…………… Like you, the objects you encounter have stories to tell as the previous owners have left their vibrational imprint. Because our bodies exude energy, we leave behind a vibrational imprint each time we touch or live in close proximity to an object. These imprints, which may be positive or negative memories, emotions, or impressions, can become part of the history of an item. Like you, the objects you encounter have…
From an email I received…………….. Try not to take everything personally, things that people say and do don’t always have anything to do with you. Every time you interact with others, you have the choice to listen to, acknowledge, and let go of their words, or you can take what they are saying personally. Taking things personally is often the result of perceiving a person’s actions or words as an affront or slight. In order…
I will write a much more detailed blog about this within the next few weeks, but before I do, I’m posting the FREE PDF read for the week below, for you to read so that we can all strike up a discussion on it. Is it tough being a cop? Absolutely. The only thing tougher than being a cop…….is being a Black cop. Unfortunately, as we’ve found out in the cases of Mohammed Noor and…
Sugar spikes. Ok, finally a subject that I know nothing about healthwise, but have gotten enough emails from my supporters asking me to either produce a show on it or do a #HealthyLivingTip post about. So, I’ll stick with the latter. Maybe you all can educate me on this one at some point; in the meantime, I’m posting the PDF and video link below. This week’s FREE PDF shows different ways to beat sugar spikes!…
From an email I received………… Tea time with friends can be turned into ceremony simply by the intention in which you prepare your tea. Coffee may be the power beverage that gets us revved up in the morning and fuels us when we’re burning the midnight oil, but tea is the drink we turn to when we want to relax and be refreshed at the same time. Black, green, white, herbal, hot, or ice cold,…
You ever been in a grocery store and wonder how it is that food that sucks for your health is far cheaper than the food that’s actually good for you? True story. Back in my younger grad school days, here in Annapolis I went to Giant Foods, I took $200 or so, went up and down the aisles buying junk food on specials (ie 10 JUMBO bags of cheese puffs for $10, 15 packages of…
There’s no worse feeling than going online or physically going into your bank………..only to notice it’s not there anymore. What about my money? What about my accounts? How do I get access to them? Well, each account is insured with the FDIC for up to $100,000, for starters, so your money is ok. However, as far back as 2008 with the housing crash and too many banks being underwater, there were a plethora of bank…
From an email I received…………………. Frequently, in walking through our fear, we discover that the strength of our fright was out of sync with reality. The situations, activities, and individuals that frighten us remain static. Their relative intensity does not change. Fear, on the other hand, self-magnifies. It is when you are afraid and envisioning all that might go wrong that the energy underlying your fear grows. A tiny flicker of anxiety can easily develop…
From an email I got………….. Back when we were kids, we knew what we wanted to be when we grew up. There’s the usual slew of wanting to be doctors, lawyers, scientists, astronauts, etc. Some of us got to follow through with those childhood dreams while the rest are living a life that’s not quite what they want it to be. So for those still figuring out how to start living the life they want,…
This week will be short and sweet, I’m doing more reading up on meditation, making quiet time to reconnect within, enjoying the stillness or as Depeche Mode once sang about, “enjoy the silence”. With everything going on around us and God only knows the chaos and entropy, sometimes enveloping ourselves into the silence may be, frankly, the only thing that keeps us from going crazy. From the seven chakras (which I’m also researching along with…

From an email I received……………….. Health is not just your physical body being in the best shape possible, rather it’s a matter of being in the best state overall. Our bodies are actually well equipped to manage itself. All we have to do is to provide the conditions in which it will be able to do this. We need to put ourselves in a good environment where our bodies are free to do what they…
I’ll be to the point. Depression isn’t much that I can speak with any level of intellectual honesty to. This week’s post is dedicated to that. I know this much. For whomever is clinically depressed, it’s beyond a difficult road in that most people that have it either don’t know or are afraid to tell someone, talk about it, or get help. There’s no shame in asking for help with something that is a ‘life’…

From an email I received…………… Change your thinking to knowing that your life matters, and that you are important. It can be easy sometimes to buy into the illusion of our own insignificance. We may see large corporations or institutions, celebrities or successful people in our community, and compare ourselves to them, thinking that their fame or material power affirm how little our own lives amount to. But nothing could be further from the truth.…
