“Our past is not, as some fear, a series of events carved in stone that we must carry around for the rest of our lives… but a kaleidoscope of experiences that, when viewed through different lenses, can ‘color’ (change) how we see our present and future.”

The key to changing our past, present, and future is to create our piece of the PIE (our Perceptions, Interpretations, & Expectations) on purpose.

Worry, shame, and fear can’t be the energy with which we deal with food and weight. It only spurs us to eat more food and produce more glucose/sugar which gets stored as fat.

Living exclusively in the land of the head or the heart will always be a limiting, limited experience. The most successful among us have dual citizenship.

Problems occur when we tie our peace of mind to another’s state of mind.

When stress and anxiety have your system stuck in a brainstem loop? Reboot. It’s I.T. for life!

When a loving, meaningful experience is our goal, we must trust an energy that is congruent with that goal as our guide along the way. Bottom line, trust love over fear if love is what you’re after.

The problem with lethargy is that doing nothing validates the fear that nothing can be done.

Holding on to painful images of the past in order to avoid painful experiences in the future serves only to color the present with pain.

There’s no such thing as a ‘stressful’ situation.

Family is the place where acceptance and validation are most needed, but often the hardest to find.

Regardless of the problem, as long as our solution requires someone else to change, we will never know the power and promise of self-determination.

There are two ways to make someone important in our lives … we can either love them or hate them.

You can’t ‘cope with’ change anymore than you can ‘manage’ stress.

Meaning isn’t something we discover, it is what we bring to life, either by choice or by chance.

To change any aspect of our life we must be willing to change our mind… Unfortunately, that is the one thing most people are the least willing to do.

Trust is simply a set of expectations about the present and the future. The key is to ensure that these are chosen and evaluated based upon awareness versus fear.

Poor people, people of color – especially are much more likely to be found in prison than in institutions of higher education.

Poverty, ignorance and degradation are the combined evils, these constitute the social disease of the free colored people of the US.

Slavery was never abolished, it was only extended to include all the colors.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts.

Discrimination based on skin color, sexual orientation,& gender needs to stop. We’re all humans at the end of the day.

White is actually one of my favorite colors. I have a white car. I love white.

The mind does not take its complexion from the skin.

We look so much on color that we forget about the soul.
