Freedom Journey


This blog was revised to represent a more aware place in my life that I delight to share with others.

There is no particular structured content contained here -- just what I'm inspired to express about an assortment of topics.

Refuse to be prisoners of your perceptions. Cast away nonsense traditions. Freedom resides in authentic and proven truths.

REAL truth is freedom! And laughter is sure good for the soul.

Comedy Message Bulletin for Empire Viewers

Greetings -

Attention, Attention

Bulletin:

- The Empire snack bar closes 15 minutes before show time. Please get your snacks before then 'cause the snack bar crew will be heading to the back room to watch Empire, and ain't none of them coming out to serve nobody after closing.

- For those who experience shortness of breath due to show content, oxygen masks are hanging near the restrooms.

- For those who experience heart thumping during heightened scenes in the show, please dial 1-800-Empire EMT.

- Please turn your cell phones on vibrate during the show. Don't nobody want to hear your damn ring tones during show time.

- Please don't bring BeBe's kids to the Empire viewing.

- Bag checks will be done by Debo's partner, June Bug. So please don't think you're gonna sneak snacks in. Prices are reasonable in consideration of our current economy.

Violators of the above will be escorted out by Debo, and he don't play.

Further, the violation penalty includes that you won't be able to watch the next episode of Empire. And if you get smart about the first penalty phase, you'll be deprived of another episode of Empire.

There is no appeal process.

Thank you. Enjoy the show.

Gain from Rejection

Photo - copyright 2014 - S. Hicks
Hi -

All rejection isn't a minus -- some rejections are sure in the plus columns.

We can certainly gain from rejections.  Key is why we're being rejected.  If we're wrong -- than of course, we should amend our positions and opt for correct actions.  

If we're right, we should be pleased to benefit from rejections.  Yes, we learn from them and certainly our gains multiply where it REALLY matters . . .

###

Acceptance is a joy and pleasure when the vital pieces are in order . . .  It isn't reasonable to choose acceptance above what is loving, honest, sensible, and wise.  Steadfastly DOING truth gains the best rewards!

Messages of Strength

Hi -

- One Size Doesn't Fit All

One MAIN question is -- how do we respond to the inevitable land mines in our lives?  How do we play the hands that are dealt us?  The good news is that there are aces in every deck.  But we know that the jokers run wild.  Go for the aces; play those babies with all the gusto that you know how to muster.

  - Public Displays 

What's up with the numerous photos that women post with their behinds poked out in suggestive and provocative poses?  Ain't it a trip that more than a few of those behinds are fake booties that have been artificially enhanced -- sometimes to disproportionate sizes?  The blow-up backsides sure get attention; the issue is the TYPE of attention that they draw.  Why on earth do those women believe that such is authentically attractive?  On the real, it's NOT positive.

- Strong Holds of Ignorance 
 
How many times have we been prisoners of our perceptions?  How many times have we "dug in our heels" and refused to budge from our "solid" stands?  And how many times have we been wrong?
