The Missing Dot On The Map

Listen to "The Missing Dot On The Map" on Spreaker. April 30, 2021 Here we are! But where’s the dot on the map? You know! The part of the story that clearly tells us where time has delivered us. This point to that point. As a daily writer, these words are my photographs. Which I’m horrified to go back and read. Not that the journey has been reckless, out of tune or bent in ways that reshape the statue. Mentally speaking. Your past 60 weeks are very much a mile marker in the heart. To study your photographs or my writing with all its vibrant truths will keep each of us out here on the desert. I’m on the front lines every day. I see you walking, struggling and trying to piece whatever’s left back together. Let’s break this down. How often do you get caught up in a conversation that you think is a connection but in reality your heart and soul are elsewhere? No matter how strong the relationship is, there’s something spinning around in your head that keeps coming up every time you get with this person. That’s how I feel about writing! That’s how you react to the photographs stuffed in the memory banks of that smart phone. We’ve all experienced more than a pandemic. We’re overloaded with memories, questions, failures, new challenges and whatever else we allow to easily slip inside. Here’s the challenge. Leave it off the page. Don’t go anywhere near it. The only sunset photos we keep are the good ones. The same isn’t true about the way we think and hoard experiences. Leave it off the page. We are here. In the present. Right now. What’s running through your thinker? Leave it off the page. You’ll see how a single bad day or moment truly doesn’t need your reasons for wanting to hold onto things. When I first started my walk through a grocery store life I hated putting things back on the shelf. I couldn’t find where they were supposed to go. Every day I spent too much time wandering the aisles trying to figure out why packages of tuna are in the canned meat lane. I became instantly angry with myself and I held it out there for a passerby to feel when they’d reach out and put a loaf of bread inside the potato chips. Nearly a year later I call it Easter egg hunting. I turned a horrid negative caused by other people’s laziness into a game, an adventure, a quest to be a leader. I took my early bad experiences off the page. Last night a guest decided at the last moment that they no longer needed the $228 worth of groceries in the basket. They left. Do you know what $228’s worth of groceries looks like? Because I’ve been present with turning a negative into a positive, it took less than 25 minutes to put everything back. I kept the past off the page. There are many things in your life that can be compared to this experience and for hours you’ll stew over something that was just a moment. Don’t make me say it! Leave it off the page.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 244

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 244" on Spreaker. April 29, 2021 A frozen wet morning inside the forest. The writer’s words on January 31, 2021. A frozen wet morning. I knew something was up the day before. I had come in contact with twelve to fifteen deer roaming together. Like cattle they belong to each other for warmth, they feed as one and to protect the young. To be ready for the soon to become winter storm. I often think of the deer as being human. What would they do in this age where we’re still being asked to keep our gatherings at limited numbers? Being on the front line I fall witness to a lot parents protecting their little ones. The past year has been rough. Remote learning, a lack of energy to want to learn, the job front has changed, the dream to overcome is what we did several months ago. Today we just want it to back to normal. Our willingness has turned into extra weight with absolutely no physical evidence of truly gripping the reins of mental freedom. What would the deer do? Seriously! In all things they do rarely do I see just one. They’re masters at walking in amazing amounts of peace while grouping in the name of affection and protection. Could they survive how we’ve been encouraged to separate? As open as it’s becoming during these April days 2021 is as far away as we remain from the reality of normal. Being transparent with your open eyes I admit that our motions and emotions are suffering with no true answer to what it is we seek. Are we standing on our feet or given in to defeat? Nothing feels like it’s changing so we do the best we can. This isn’t a negative. This is awareness. Have you ever studied the habits of a deer? The swishing of the tail, the quick jerks of the ears and the stamping of the front hoofs in the dirt. The animal kingdom knows the way. Instinct is everything. Is that where you are? The daily gut check. This is where we are. This is how we are. This isn’t turning out the way we dreamed. I know! Let’s find a new way! A frozen wet morning inside the forest. The lesson learned sits in the temperature. Without each other it’s very cold. When you reach your new normal accept each other’s changes. The old path no longer exists. You weren’t ghosted by coworkers and friends. Unlike the deer we elected to hide from the way it was all being done. The goal is to be seen, heard, loved, believed in, trusted, accepted and more importantly aware because the next storm truly could be bigger.

Stream Thinking: Getting Time Back

Listen to "Stream Thinking Getting Time Back" on Spreaker. April 27, 2021 Stream thinking. Challenging yourself to fill a single page. No editing. Write about what’s moving through your Now. Gaining access to owning your Now. On April 24th my heart was flooded with the present workplace. Being transparent I wanted to know why workforces aren’t sticking together. Post Covid 19 Lockdown business leaders are facing a new normal in the hands of those no longer chasing workplace success. The new age of thinking is to keep your personal plans close to your heart. To not give away the importance of discovery and family. It truly feels like the benefits of having a job aren’t greater than the reasons to stay away. The reasons for this attitude are very clear. In America the government has stood beside us. For millions rent still isn’t due. How many stimulus checks have you received? In America school students were given notebooks and computers then taught on Zoom. For adults the movie industry didn’t shut down. The decision makers located a streaming outlet Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+ and HBO Max. We’ve evolved into a binge watching generation without the burning need or desire to create workplace drive, passion, loyalty and perseverance. In America the food lines were haunting but what do the credit card statements look like for those who ordered their dinners then picked it up curbside? We wonder why people don’t want to work. The idea of driving to work then walking into a large building feels too much like 2019. Having less is priceless. Less stress. Less expectation. Less of a need to be part of a team. For a very brief moment in global history every person on the planet felt what it was like to have enough room to create and bring to life a choice. I was with T.D. Jakes yesterday. We talked about the new workplace. He was extremely strong in his support for the changed employee. Leaders are going to have to break free old habits and commands. The workplace isn’t sticking together because we’re all carrying the weight of personal pain. We’re fighting a storm we can’t explain. We aren’t being selfish. We just don’t understand or want to take the time to openly admit our mental sickness. Therefore people have labeled it what they think. Turning it into a season of disconnection and not collaboration. I’m no expert. I face the same challenges but I choose not to stay away. My values are located in the receiver. Collaborating with the guest or client. Watching life move through them when the product just purchased now belongs to them. I’ve been on a 7 day workday plan since September 2020. Staying positive during the 9th hour is a choice. My new normal is less of me and more about those who receive. It creates a new space for collaborating. With whom? You. No matter how many employees move through our place of business, the relationship still exists with those who receive.

Unplugged and Totally Uncut April 23rd

Friday! Friday! April 23rd. Today on Unplugged and Totally Uncut. Investigative reporter Warren Binford has taken note of what's being laid out in the lower half of our nation. We keep hearing a lot of voices but we haven't heard from the children affected. Until now. Her new book is Hear My Voice. 11am post https://www.spreaker.com/episode/44453153 Two of the three movies premiering this weekend are R rated films. Which feels kind of odd to say. When was the last time something was rated R? The mission has always been to get it close but don't cross the line. Gotta get all people in those seats. Up first Ryan Jay reviews Mortal Kombat. Fast, action packed, martial arts but no storyline. It's in theaters and on HBO Max. Up next is Stowaway on Netflix. Ryan says the cast is incredible with it's mission to Mars plot then there's a strange twist. Someone snuck on board. He says its extremely slow. And finally in theaters is the R rated Rom-com Together Together with Ed Helms. It feels like Woody Allen but there's no reason to invest your time. 1pm post https://www.spreaker.com/episode/44453941 This is reality. Both parties taking huge hits of judgement. Pitbulls and Parolee's. It's on Discovery+. Talking with the very likeable and deeply compassionate Mariah Harmony. 4pm post https://www.spreaker.com/episode/44453364 Then we're Playing It Forward with Dana Monique from season 20 of NBC's The Voice. She was on the road as a background singer at the age of 15. Now the world knows her name and sound. 7pm post https://www.spreaker.com/episode/44454135

The Placement Of Thought

Listen to "The Placement Of Thought" on Spreaker. April 23, 2021 The placement of thought. Where shall it land? Will it grow? Was it wise to bring it forward? Who am I to think such a feeling needed to be seen and or heard? The placement of thought. I could never do modern day Talk Radio. Politics are like religion. Expect to lose a lot of connections. I’m not really into sports. If they could get the game over in 30 minutes or less you might have my attention. During these days of radio evolution, the politics of the vocal sport is still seen as a profitable opportunity for radio station owners to always brag about how their position on the dial is every bit worthy of why you should be advertising. In an age of so many choices and instant favorite songs on YouTube, I’m blown away by the enormous egos that terrestrial radio continues to cling to. Not bashing! It’s a placement of thought. I don’t know who’s more blind, a mouse or the station owner that fired their staff during the pandemic and they still have the balls to call themselves local. Every one of us have social media to put on display our thoughts. Social media has the power to erase your thoughts. To silence your willingness to share thoughts. I endlessly feel embarrassed for the person nearby that’s having face to face time and every bit of their conversation is broadcast in what little space is available. Mom’s yelling at kids. Friends talking junk. The grocery list is never complete until you leave the store because someone’s always gonna call and demand that you pick something else up. The placement of thought. What is your source? How does it arrive? How long does it take you to trust you? What if what you think no longer matters? Hmm I wonder if my parents felt that way when I was 18 and already married. At nearly 59 I look back at that decision making moment and still call it one of the best made. I had a thought. So I activated it. Whoa. What if you found reason to take your thoughts out of hiding and put it out there for others to see, hear, experience and quite possibly throw away. It’s when you don’t share your thoughts that time has a way of poisoning the moment. You’re putting us in a vat full of assumption. Not judgement. Assumption. Without communication. Without thoughts. We’re left to create our own.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 243

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 243" on Spreaker. April 22, 2021 The sights unseen still carry energy. Is it coming from history or the presence of the present? The sights unseen. Is it a moment of connection that generates empowerment or is it a series of stories that which were required to make it known this day growing forward? The sights unseen. Judgement without truly knowing. People are a sight that is unseen. Meaning if we don’t know the moments before the greeting it still has energy from a past that could infect the collaboration. In martial arts it was mandatory that we knew the history of every move and form. Through its history we grew to understand the plan and purpose. Life should be no different. Look at today’s mass shootings. Sights unseen. The history sits right there in front of those before the moment but nothings done until confronted by the action. On a more peace filled level I ask if you’ve come to terms with who you are today. How you got here and what’s expected to be delivered. Participating with the process of growth. Everything we do is swayed by decisions of participation. The sights unseen can’t remain a mystery. Or we’re giving permission to others to give birth to our personal image. How people accept you determines your cause and effect. There might be forgiveness. There will always be challenge. The daily mission is to be seen. But in whose eyes? How do we grow fruit from this? Our limbs are heavy. They provide food for thought but who’s taking it? School teachers are being brutally treated by students and parents refusing to readjust to being in class. Those learning were given a year off while being passed on to the next level of learning without being properly tested. Respecting someone’s fruit so freely shared turns the apple on the tree into an invisible source of possibility because like music and movies, we believe all things should be handed to us and not earned. Sights unseen. Nobody wants to see their kids suffering in the classroom so they create friction by way of demanding an easing up of the expectation. The sight unseen isn’t today but rather 10 years from today. The student that quit learning now lives in a self-designed mental prison of little hope and a fear of the word perseverance. Structuring your life should be a mandatory. Discipline your mind body and soul and get this planet moving again. Saying your job sucks proves nothing. Admitting to it opens the door for new opportunities. What sucks is how you won’t change the fruit on your limbs. Sights unseen. Your future. What’s your decision today? It will control your tomorrow.

Stream Thinking Covid Homes

Listen to "Stream Thinking Covid Homes" on Spreaker. April 20, 2021 I call them “Covid Homes.” We’ve all got them in our neighborhoods. Covid Homes! They aren’t for sale. They’re lifeless. The yards are somewhat mowed. The trees sort of trimmed. But the owners haven’t been seen since the start of the pandemic in March of 2020. Every one of us walk or drive by them. I’m talking about homes that were once vibrant with cars parked in the driveway and neighbors seen talking to each other. A year and month later the people are still gone! Covid Homes. If something such as Covid 19 made them ill, why are the homes still sitting empty during a time when the New York Times is screaming, “The housing market has gone empty. What’s happening on the inside of a Covid Home? Does it affect the value of the hood? The Covid Home looks approachable to the passerby but they’ve been empty for a very long time. Can these empty dots on a Google Map be haunted? I would love to step inside! Out here, we’ve moved forward in time. In there. Time is frozen. It’s exactly the way it was left all those weeks and months ago. It reminds me of April and May of last year. We took our daily walks through strip mall parking lots. Looking inside the stores that were forced to stop. The posters on the wall were stuck in February and March. Many of the businesses never recovered. What lurks within the framing of a Covid Home? Does it smell like dust? Has the paint on the walls faded? The oil spots on the garage floor have they dried? I want to step inside. For we all know every home has its own personality. I want to go inside to just listen to the moments of what it was like and is like when time stands still.

Don't Stop Saying Thank You

Listen to "Don't Stop Saying Thank You" on Spreaker. April 16, 2021 Can you see it? Can you feel it? The shift is happening. Not as fast as we’d like but acceptable. We’re moving into that thing called the new normal. And the body isn’t liking it. We’re not conditioned for the daily business stress. Oh it felt so good to work remotely from home! I got into having lunch with my teacher wife. Then we’d binge watch a show before she’d get back to the digital class. Look around you! Look at yourself. We’re back to stuffing 25 pounds into a 10 pound bag. Guess what we’re forgetting? Saying thank you to the frontline workers. Guilt trip! The definition shouldn’t be redefined. The frontline workers are still the doctors, nurses, dentists, firefighters, police, teachers, massage therapists, burger makers, grocery store employees and boom! Even the mail carriers. All of whom will be still here when the next surge of Covid 19 sweeps across this nation in the weeks ahead. Your sprite energized boss will send out the email to work from home. Guess who can’t. The frontline worker. The Uber driver, the pizza delivery person, the bank teller, the construction worker. Don’t stop saying, “Thank you.” Sure they’ll brush it off. I get it! As you can tell the media has slowed down on reporting the physical number of new Covid cases and how many are still losing their lives. It’s out of sight out of mind. Guess who isn’t. The frontline worker! Even with the vaccine they can get the sickness, the experts say it won’t be as bad. During my 42 years of radio broadcasting we are still required to be at the studio during a huge snow storm. The frontline workers know the game. Keep them motivated by saying, “Thank you.”

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 242

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 242" on Spreaker. April 15, 2021 What’s your wakeup call? Have you experienced one yet? You know that moment that changes everything. The Covid 19 lockdown acted like a wakeup call. On this side of March 12, 2020 maybe not so sure. Even with the vaccine those numbers are headed up. During the morning of January 16th, 2021 I wrote inside the protection of the forest that which I live within. On that morning it was extremely damp from the winter’s storm the day before. The birds were extremely loud. Concert like. The forest was having a wakeup call. Which can easily be compared to the real world of our everyday. Everybody wants to be heard. We just can’t figure out if what’s being shared is wakeup or wake not. We’re human. Always strong with our thoughts but the attempt doesn’t guarantee the missing of the next storm. A darkened sky doesn’t always mean something’s moving through. Spiritually speaking there’s a huge hum in our everyday changes and challenges. Is it carrying your wakeup call? A forest can’t block the weather’s voice. Not so true for the human. We’re masters at blocking out what needs to be fixed. A clicking in the engine of your car is repaired by turning up the radio. When does worry become your fact? Even though it might not be true you’re convinced something’s changed. A wakeup call. On July 21, 2019 I experienced a huge one. A heart attack at the age of 47. Before that moment I was known for telling people, “I want to be in the right place at the right time.” I didn’t realize it meant being at a Doc in the Box getting checked out for possible Strep Throat. The initial wakeup call was the Saturday before. While preparing for my 3rd degree black belt I stopped remembering my forms, I couldn’t catch my breath. It didn’t send out the signal to get checked out. Not until three days later when I felt sharp pains in my throat. It wasn’t Strep. What’s been your wakeup call? How loud does it have to be for you to pay attention? It doesn’t have to be sickness but rather career changing. Or maybe your artist self is trying to be heard. Why are you ignoring the wakeup call? Listen to it before hanging up.

Stream Thinking Show Me Your Hunger

Listen to "Stream Thinking Show Me Your Hunger" on Spreaker. April 13, 2021 Stream thinking. Learning to utilize your personal strength by way of owning your presence of Now. A daily discipline. One page. Ten minutes to throw whatever’s in your head and heart down. You can’t erase or edit. Tapping into that source of energy that’s always present. It’s usually ignored by our addiction to plan. We are convinced that all things attempted must be perfect before we forget it. Today’s mental journey puts a lot of attention on you showing me your hunger. Show me how serious you are about becoming more that what you are. Show me your hunger. Show me the callus on your fingertips caused by endless amounts of scratching on the walls you claim to be blocking you. Show me your best laid out plans. Many can’t. The choice has been to sit here and never get started. What did you do during the Covid 19 lockdown that can be used as a brilliant tool today? If I were a business manager selected to build a brilliant working team that question would be a priority. What did you do during the lockdown? Show me your hunger. Not food. Your hunger. Your drive. Perseverance. Passion. Vision. Broken paths caused by the weight of chance and change. Show me your hunger. No matter how dark midnight comes across, your heart remains enlightened by the willingness to participate. Isn’t that what feeds hunger? Knowing there’s going to be a difference. Utilizing it as a tool by way of keeping free of all things indifferent. Stop just sitting around and standing in a motionless place waiting for life to heal itself. Show me your hunger. To feel the gnawing of your truth. To watch how each time you’re told no, it reignites the fires that can’t be contained. Hunger! You said you’ve got more today and it’s not just a dream. You’re being called. Let me inside to see your hunger.

Listen to "No More I Am" on Spreaker. April 2, 2021 I am versus I will. I’m going straight to the end of the story. I am versus I will. Where do you find your energy source these days? My eyes are scanning the room like a Cyborg from Battlestar Galactica. Trying to feel the energy from the universe! Or I can bring out my inner poet and admit, “I’m seeking my muse.” I think one of the real reasons why I enjoy sharing conversations with people of fame is because of how they came into being. So many refuse to give themselves the credit. It’s not them! It was something beyond them that provided an opportunity. They moved with the flow of energy provided. I vividly remember my twenties and thirties in the way that I overdosed on dedication, loyalty, determination and passion. The mission was to be seen as well as heard. I tried very hard to be in the right place at the right time. You know, get into people’s faces. I am versus I will. Through daily awareness and being mindful of your present the need to be an “I am” keeps you further away from what “I will.” I refuse to believe the corporate world has changed due to Covid 19. It’s evolved. Have you? But I am! Change that to, “I will.” Amazing amounts of new energy begin to show up on your path. And like most humans walking through these days of uncertain methods of madness, anything that feels new sits on the edge of growth or tossed. But I am! Show me the hands of those who are no longer “I am” but rather once were. Millions of dollars are being forked out on overzealous life coaches and motivational books designed to make your new normal more acceptable. Stop saying, “I am.” The new goal is “I will.”

The Silent Sky

Listen to "The Silent Sky" on Spreaker. April 1, 2021 Very interesting 5am experience. The sky was silent. Jazzie and I walking through the forest. Normally we hear distant cars, see far off lights acting like beacons in homes and are usually accompanied by the hoots of the owl. Not this 5am walk. The sky was silent. An instant flashback of what it sounded like during the Covid 19 lockdown. I stopped several times as if to be checking my hearing. Had I gone deaf? The half lit moon offered direction through the forest but the silence was putting me in a place of wonder. What took place while we were sleeping? I usually don’t hook up with the news until the forest walk is over. It felt odd in a day and age where so many have returned to marching in corporate order. Then one big gust of wind. It quickly disappeared. We were standing in its way. I could feel it racing around me. The sky was silent. Then whoosh… The universe taking a big breath then setting it free.
