Welcome to my personal blog. "It’s 2010… do you know where your soul’s purpose is?" Pascal Folly, said this quote: "An individual’s or organization’s life develops in the direction of the questions that are asked." Tough questions lead to real answers. Real answers can lead to genuine progress. There will be pain; but freedom looms on the horizon for everyone who seeks to be true with themselves, God and others. Let’s examine the mundane and extraordinary - movies to music to culture, and beyond - so we can truly live ALIVE! Also, my new book is now available - the teen fiction novel, Speedsuit Powers . It’s an epic urban adventure story that you don’t want to miss: excellent for middle school and high school students.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. It wasn’t deliberate… it was just I didn’t have anything that I thought needed to be said. Oh, and there’s also me being busy with my job, church, marriage, Speedsuit Powers novel and a baby on the way. And I just returned from a 10 day trip in Ghana, West Africa and spent over a week being sick. That gives a person a lot of time to think about life -although I think it may be impossible to think clearly while congested
I wanted to let you know that we have a Father’s Day special running for African American boys (ages 11-18) who are being raised without their fathers. They can receive a copy of Speedsuit Powers , my teen fiction novel for free. This offer ends June 13th. Only while supplies last and for USA residents. Check out the video for more information and then go to www.speedsuitpowers.com/book-gifting . Thanks.
Here’s my interview on the Open show, hosted by Daren Jaime. In the interview, we talk about my new book, Speedsuit Powers. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
I know it’s 2010, but I don’t have much to say at this point. It’s said that if you want a productive blog, you have to write new content weekly. But quite honestly, I haven’t had anything that I’ve been burning to write about.
This doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about what to write:
BACK TO THE FUTURE
It’s 10:45pm at the time of this writing. Sunday evening. December 13, 2009. And as I was washing the dishes, the reality hit me - that 2009 will be over in a matter of days. This is by far, the fastest year ever. I can remember ringing in 2009 like it was yesterday. And as I began to think about my life over this past year… my mind arrived at a movie I used to love to watch often: Back To The Future.
I had the opportunity to be interviewed (on 11/18/09) on the “Open” talk show, hosted by Daren Jaimes. It’s a local show on Bronxnet Community Television. We discussed my new book, Speedsuit Powers, and how it can help bring hope to urban youth. Here’s the update from my Speedsuit Powers book website.
Speedsuit Powers releases Tuesday December 1, 2009. You can purchase your copy at Amazon.com
Alright, here’s the first official Speedsuit Powers book trailer. The story follows a boy who has to deal with some major “bully drama”. If you have middle school/high school aged kids, or you work with youth, you’re going to want to get them a copy of this novel. You may even want a copy for yourself! (One adult read the book in 5 hours. She said she couldn’t put it down.)
The novel releases December 1, 2009 on Amazon.com, so save the date: Tuesday December 1st. Feel free to let me know what you think and also pass this video onto others!
What are 7 simple steps to transition from a writer to an author? Most people dream about writing a book, but do nothing more than dream. I should know… My life has been spent dreaming about new realities, but never moving beyond the idea stage. However, as I turned 30 (and now 35) I realized that I’m not getting any younger. I don’t want to look back with regrett at dreams that never became realities. Being a dreamer is important, but carrying out the dream and enabling others to do the same is crucial.
What’s happening to our youth? In California, a 15 year old girl was gang raped for 2.5 hours. What’s worse is that other youth watched, participated and did nothing to help her. What’s happening to our society, where we don’t get involved to help someone else? At the very least, we should realize that there may come a time when we will be the victim and need someone to step in to help us.
Here’s the article from CNN.Com. And here’s a video from CNN.com:
What are your thoughts about what happened and what we can do to make a difference?
