ANOTHER DAY

I thank you God for another day, another opportunity.   Another chance.   I am so grateful   Another day to grow, another day to learn Where we can learn how to live with purpose and not out of concern Another day to laugh, another day to cry We all have different feelings, it’s the same for you and I Another day to talk, another day to sit The stillness of solitude, we can quiet our mind a bit Another day to walk, another day to move We get another chance to breathe, just so we can improve Another day to ponder, another day to act We think of great memories, and maybe we’ll run them back Another day to live, another day has come Feeling joy and happiness in heart, hoping not to feel numb Another day for passion, another day for love There may be sadness and sorrow today, but we learn to rise above   We get another 24, so let go out and do our best This is the real thing, this is not a test So take this day and make the best, fin...

TWO POEMS I WROTE

 I wrote some poetry last year and I wanted to share two of the poems I wrote.  I was feeling lonely and my borderline symptoms were really bad. So I wrote these to try to make sense of how I was feeling and putting it into words.  I am going to try to go back to writing since I am finding things from the early days of Michael that are really helping me lead to happiness.  (read more)

EPISODE XCVI: GO AHEAD JUMP

Sometimes when we are faced with a difficult decision and risk is involved, we have to make that choice to get uncomfortable and possibly grow.  We can't let our mind get in the way. I speak about this and how my own personal experiences have brought me to create this episode. MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE    FACE THE DAY - Great White WORLD COMING DOWN - Type O Negative FALLS - Odesza NOWHERE TO HIDE - Nero WAKE ME UP - Avicii JUMP - Me N U I REMEMBER - Deadmau5 w/ Kaskade THE INFINITY - Five Pointe 0

EPISODE XCV: THE UNBEARABLE GUILT OF REACTING TO JOY AND PAIN

Is it important for us to react to everything?  Most likely it isn't, but sometimes responses are warranted.  I speak about my own struggle about this piece and how I was super ultra reactive to anything people said or did to me and it created this beast inside of me.  I talk about how I am practicing to respond and not react to news no matter if its good or bad. MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE CLINT EASTWOOD - Gorillaz MYSTERY - Dio CHANGE (IN THE HOUSE OF FLIES) - Deftones JOY AND PAIN - DJ Ez Rock and Rob Base GUILT - Nero WHAT I'VE DONE - Linkin Park TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME - Supertramp

EPISODE XCIV: SADNESS AND SUICIDE

  Mental health is one of the biggest issues out there today.  Poor mental health treatments and programs have been responsible for making symptoms worse for many patients.  Sometimes life gets to be too much and some see only one way out.  I have contemplated and attempted to take that way out and I talk about some of my stories and my challenges, but I talk about the journey I have taken to understand what life truly is and what it can be  MUSIC FROM THS EPISODE PAPERCUT - Linkin Park THE REAL ME - WASP FADE TO BLACK - Metallica TEENAGE SUICIDE - Degarmo & Key SINS OF OMISSION - Testament

EPISODE XCIII: SO WHAT'S LOVE ANYWAYS

  So love?  What exactly is it? Is it two people getting together? Is it when that magical moment of sexual intercourse happens? Is it when you live through all the crap?  I talk about this and talk about how it feels to lose love.  What can you do?  There is a lot believe me, but it all starts with you. MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE SOMEONE TO LOVE - Jefferson Airplane SOMEBODY TO LOVE - Queen YOU HAD TO MUCH TO DRINK - EPMD BY MYSELF - Linkin Park WHAT IS LOVE - Haddaway SOUR TIMES - Portishead I CAN BE SOMEBODY - Erin McCarley THE SEARCH IS OVER- Survivor
