There are instances when old news comes out at weird, random times. The first thing I wonder is why did the person feel the need to share the information at that particular time. Azealia Banks who is the wild child of our entertainment industry recently decided to share that she and a very-married Dave Chappel had sex. Black Twitter of course hilariously jumped all over the news. Azealia Banks has historically been mean, insulting, crass, and over the top with her shock value comments. It seems as though she is doing it to stay relevant or she just does not really care about the consequences. It is unfortunate, as I find her to actually be a talented artist. Her talents definitely get overshadowed by her reckless mouth. The issue here is a potentially huge one for Dave Chappelle as it jeopardizes his marriage, should her claims be taken seriously. It comes at an interesting time for him being that he has been doing well in his career. He is the definition of come back king. However...

Panacea All that's right in the world starts with a simple unfiltered genuine act of kindness I am not sure what the world would be like without people who are capable of kindness, and I do not really want to imagine it. I am thankful for those with big hearts who are better than myself. Practice acts of kindness regularly and watch your life transform.

You can listen to the Podcast version below. A simple question can go a long way to help someone feel as though they are a part of something more. When you offer assistance, you may be giving relieving someone of angst and pressure that you know nothing about. How can I help? Was the theme of the new NBC pilot New Amsterdam. I had to take some time to check this one out. It is another medical drama which I cannot seem to get enough that centers around a New York public hospital. The main character is Dr. Max Goodwin, played by Ryan Eggold, who I have an affinity for because he played Tom Keen in  The Blacklist. I really liked Tom Keen.  There were a lot of really good moments in this debut but the aspect that stood out for me was the outpouring of kindness towards others that made the difference. Goodwin made changes by listening to what his staff wanted and helping. When he asked how can I help, he meant it. If we ask the question we have to be prepared to answer...

Affirmation: I  am surrounded by love and kindness .I have enough to share.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship. - Buddha Health is the greatest gift. It is free to maintain if we work at it. Our health and well being is so vital to our happiness that we have to take special care of ourselves. Maintaining a healthier life style can help with chronic illness as well as keep us out of the vicious stress cycle. Contentment the greatest wealth. It is hard for an ambitious person to be content. I believe that we can be happy with the course of our lives while striving for more. This is when we enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Faithfulness the best relationship. It is no coincidence that faithfulness is linked with strong relationship. What else do we expect from those around us whether it be family, friends, or lovers. Faithfulness is a show of support which we can never have enough of or provide to ourselves and those we care about. Be kind to yourself. Be mindful of your health. Co...

What does your presence say about you? Your presence should be a beacon of joy and light or calm. When I worked in the hospital emergency department, I would always check the staffing list to see who I was working with that day. If had to spend the next 12 to 13 hours with a team, I needed to know that  we will get along, work well together, get the job done and have fun. I had to mentally prepare myself if I got stuck with someone who did not contribute to that plan. There were certain individuals that everyone would avoid because working with them proved to be extremely difficult and unpleasant. Their presence convinced us that this was not a person you wanted around. The affect that we can have by those around us can be lasting and phenomenal. We can inspire people to be better or do more. Be mindful on the message you are sending out. Be mindful of the life you are living. What is your presence saying about you? Do you bring joy are do people roll their eyes when they see...

Connect When the inkling ruffles the wanderings of your soul respond to the calling with I will Follow your intuition to contact someone. You never know when you could be the answer to someone else's problem. This is so true. In this case, kindness can go a long way. I see so many things in social media and the news that are sometimes disheartening because it is mainly a showcase of people who are not being kind to one another. In the news they highlight all the negative that we do against each other. In the comment section of practically any social media post, we get yet another showcase of how mean can we be to each other. Where is kindness and empathy? I always talk about the importance of mindful living especially when it comes to aiding in stress relief, but know that being mindful of our reactions to others will help curtail some of the negativity that we always see. Like Carol Adrienne states, you never know. You never know what someone is going through or what y...
