Thank me…quietly.
(Written on 1 November 2018) Anyone that knows me knows that I enjoy helping people. Even more, I enjoy helping people from behind the curtain, so to speak. I am not a person who desires to be front & center. I specifically prefer the background. The conundrum is that no one sees me. We all…

FEAR: I Don’t Want To Lose You
Before we begin: I started this series called “FEAR” two years ago this month. It has done me some good and hopefully has helped you recognize motivations in your own lives. I have been learning more about myself as a result of delving into fear more than I ever have. It’s a beautiful thing,…

the ebb and flow of doubt
About 3 1/2 years ago, I made a conscious decision to stop teaching to start a business. One of the reasons I had decided to move beyond from the formal education field was because I could no longer lie to my students. I told them to follow their dreams and chase them; but I was…

Fear: Is a Hell of a drug
If depression was my most favorite blanket, fear was my comfort food. I’d eat it before I brushed my teeth, ate it three (3) times per day and as a snack between meals. I was consuming fear at an alarming rate. It started off as something I did every once in a while, casually,…

The FEAR of falling
But what caused all of this? I’m glad you asked. My family and I were attending a wedding. I was about 14 years old at the time. At this point, we’re at the reception. The Reverend asked everyone to stand, to say the food blessing. We walked in through the side door, having just arrived…

FEAR: Prepared or Naw
Fear is like a damn bloomin’ onion; there are so many freakin’ layers. I’ve been going through this metamorphosis as of the last two weeks. My mind has been shifting away from the idea of fear. But before I get to that, lemme tell you what I realized first. I consider myself to be a…

Fear Series
There’s a new category starting in Late October 2017; It’s called “Fear.” We all feel it, to some degree. It depletes our health, clouds our judgment and desensitizes our mind causing an ability to make wise decisions. I get it. I feel it, too (understatement of the year). So, this topic will be explored a bit,…

in the middle of a wheel
It’s no secret that I have been without a car for quite a while (read more here). After about 34 months (almost 3 years), I finally purchased one recently. This 2-month long process of searching finally yielded a car. I am excited to go places freely (and without the aid of Uber or Lyft). But that’s…

Hi. My name is Herbie.
I have been amazed at so many things this summer. I’ve done things that I had put off doing for quite a while. I’ve done other things that I never thought I’d do. As a result, I’ve left myself vulnerable to a host of new experiences. There’s a common thread through it all. It’s called…

Holding on for dear life: Part 2
This is a continuation from last week’s post (Holding on for dear life)…… …..”You’ll be alr….” WOOSH!!! My muscles immediately tensed up, as I closed my eyes. It was such an intense force, that the drop lifted me completely out of my seat! I could feel my body only being held down by the shoulder…
