An Urgent Matter: Your Dreams

This is a private oration shared about my inner thoughts about life, death and dreams.

IT IS WHAT IT IS

Sometimes life throws you curve balls, and sometimes life just gives you an opportunity to be true to emotions you have always felt. It is what it is and only you know what is true. www.freeyourthinkingmind.com

Life is an Opportunity

I grew up believing God was testing me; then life was testing me. I now view life as shear opportunity and my view of self and my interaction (perception and interpretation) with life's opportunities to experience is the designer. Be very selfish in your interpretation and perspective. They should always serve your being the you that you say you are. Life is merely the base for you to create your best life and be true to who you say you are.

Why I left Christianity, an Interview with Jennifer Fishburne

No one is mad at god. Nobody at church hurt me. I left Christianity because of growth and an awareness that I no longer needed to be psychologically manipulated to live right as I value what right is, to love others as I understand love to be of myself and of others and to understand that life is precious and should be appreciated and enjoyed to the full. Leaving Christianity brought an inner feeling of freedom that really can only be experienced and very hard to explain. But Jennifer Fishburne'...

Self-Acceptance--Be You and Love it! (Cheryl Sosnowski w/Create Space Studio & ShonSpeaks)

Cheryl Sosnowski with Create Space Studio interviews ShonSpeaks on being a powerful creator. One of the first steps to being a powerful creator of the life you want to live is to honor with integrity who you are and who you are choosing to become. You have choice no matter how powerless you may feel today, no matter how absolute the limitations of what others have said about you seems true, and no matter how opposite your life may be right now from your greatest dreams. You hold the power but it...

Passion versus Possession

Is it your passions or your desire to possess? Let's talk about it.

How to Feel More Courageous

Sometimes to live your best life takes courage. Hopefully this helps a little to give you courage to do (or to feel) today what you were afraid to do (or feel) yesterday.

When Love Speaks

Love speaks. When love is speaking to your heart, you know it's voice without a doubt. The best way to curate love continuously speaking to you is for love to speak from you. Understanding your love from within may be the cause-substance to experiencing the sincerity of another's love continuously speaking to you. Carrie Irene Crosby of the ATBA Impact Group LLC presents her blogpost "When Love Speaks." If you would like to read the blog, go over to freeyourthinkingmind.com. To connect with Carr...

Being Available to Know Yourself

As you move into this new year we call 2021, be more available to know yourself.

THAT LOVE FACTOR

Loving yourself fully is the best way to love another. Sincere love with another starts and ends with you. You are the factor that is in all of your love relationship.

GET OFF THE LOOP OF DEFICIENCY AND ENJOY NEW VIEWS

Having a closer relationship with yourself is critical to living the life you want. Sometimes however we find ourselves on a loop of deficiency, never feeling good enough to love how we want, never feeling blessed enough to have our finances the way we want, and never feeling bold enough to create the life we want. Some of us have gotten used to wanting but never having, hoping but never experiencing, and living but never enjoying life. Sometimes we have to take time to brainstorm ourselves to u...

Being You is Your Purpose (Even if YOU Cause a Disruption)

Learning to just be you can be hard working because the automatic systems in our mind have us beholden to belief systems and thinking patterns that don't get us the life we really want. You have to be dedicated to being you and let's face it sometimes we treat ourselves like the enemy. In order to stop that we have to change the abstractions that are controlling our inner systems about who we are and can be. To read the full blog, go to freeyourthinkingmind.com

Interview with Seval Haley of Black Lives Matter Help Us

Everybody is talking about Black Lives Matter but are all organizations claiming that mantra the same. Today I have a conversation with a Seval Haley who is the Vice President of Black Lives Matter Help Us, a nonprofit organization based in California. The last two words following the slogan is a distinction that I now understand makes a difference. Not all Black Lives Matter organizations are made the same. Listen as we discuss Black Lives Matter Help Us, politics, the racial and regional inequ...

Interview with Dr. Anthony B. Pinn: White Privilege

Is America really a melting pot? If yes, then why are will still tackling with racism and police brutality against blacks in 2020? Could it be that racism is only the symptom of a greater cause? It's undeniable that white privilege exist in America, not because it's the will of some benevolent super daddy as I was taught growing up, but because humans built a system of laws on top of laws that intentionally and barbarically elevated and biased the minds of one group of people as white and superi...

The Devasting Diagnosis!

In this episode, Shonspeaks interviews the author Dr. Sharline Mashack about her new book "Spectrum Secrets." Although this book is centered around autism, it is so much more than that. The transformational emotions and eventual acceptance of life as it is demonstrated through people's stories when facing a diagnosis that they didn't expect about their child is awe-inspiring. This book is a usable tool not just for parents or family members of autistic children, but for anyone that is dealing wi...
