JOYFull: A Raw Journal of the Mindful Revolution

Little update! What's taking place in the mindful revolution here in this southern town which I've called home since Los Angeles kicked me out?

Over the past year, Richmond has removed at least a dozen monuments of confederate leaders - which have stood since the 1800s - including the towering statue of army general Robert Lee on a horse at a major intersection. 

The images - of thousands of locals criss-cross applesauce, engrossin...

Trying a different cardio machine..if that's your version of shaking things up then guess what?  You're doing it.  Keep it up.  Starting a meditation practice we start to see thinking as the enemy, but when you're practicing, and you're on a roll, good thoughts start happening.  Still the enemy?  Also, crows. And meditative breath takes work, especially "tummo' exercises. "Re-Minding." Hip Hop or Rap? KRS-ONE (Knowledge Reigns Supr...

So you tried, and it worked out differently.  Take the velocity down a notch. Coincidences. I'll keep trying.  Will you?  Good conversations where you don't know how they'll work out. Feeling Groovy.  Art Garfunkel.  Watch this shit: https://youtu.be/NAEppFUWLfc

Divorce gets better. Kanye West on Joe Rogan.  The United States, or the 'States' vote.  Trump.  Left wing vs right wing: And the WINNER is..Ethan rambles about Betta Fish, commonly referred to as 'Fighting Fish', they can get along with tank mates. No live concerts with the virus is bigger than we think.  Advanced Placement classes in school, your kid doesn't know he can even TRY.  Get involved. Thank you for listening.  Transcrip...

Why it was hard to record during a crumbling relationship.  What learning and experience I take forward despite the horrors of Covid-19. Going to a new career. Vlog explanation.

We continue our venture in uncharted territory.  How can massage be done as teletherapy?  Why has Reiki healing been credited with so much success by doctors and hospitals, though it is not "medicine"?  Can the caring of another person provide a biological benefit?  This is a conversation with the founder of Awaken Massage RVA and certified Therapist and Reiki Master Ryan Greene.  Visit www.awakenmassagerva.com or follow at www.ins...

The virus was going on overseas.  Why I'm still Uber driving in The Van.  It's getting freaky.  Essential workers have to get to Food Lion, McDonalds, Kroger, Ralph's, the gas station you name it. We're taking part. Will they ever get the credit we owe them?  Wishes for unity. Accusatory vs. Helpful. God help NYC. NOTE: The interview clips with essential workers didn't turn out quality-wise for audio. BUT see photos at www.instagra...

Even when I got a part I wanted - Hamlet... my mind was ready for a sabatoge. Self doubt could be stifling us. We have no idea what's possible. Challenging schedules and finding your morning. There's a book called "The Morning Miracle" by Hal Elrod. It made a change pretty quickly. But then it was on me to keep that going.  Trying to share how powerful that is.
