Surviving Myself: Brandon, Kingsley, Leo and Me.

Quote by Randy Pausch. Mr, Brown?  Mr.Brown are you ready? It was time to for a radio interview. This day had been planned for weeks.  I had studied the questions, got to know the stations programs. I was ready. At least I thought I was. I looked at myself in the mirror for one last touch up. Make-up done? Check. Hair done? Check. Out fit loose but flattering in all the right places? Check. It was while looking in that mirror that everything, hit me. Though I looked good, my career despite it's highs and lows was faring well.  I had friends and a very supportive family around me. I even had a man who loved every inch of my crazy. I couldn't be happier.  What was this feeling that I just couldn't shake?  "Could you give me three minutes? I feel like I'm forgetting something." I said to the sweet but slightly annoying assistant.   "Sure." She said.  As she quietly stepped away.  As I sat in the chair trying to figure ...

That one time... I tried to turn nothing into something over and over and over.

It happen again. I misread the signs; no, I saw what I wanted to see and heard what I wanted to hear. Contrary to popular opinion, just because you have the sight doesn't mean that you're dating life or the person you're dating shines bright like a diamond. Hell, in most cases you can't see shit. I am no exception to this rule. We've all done it. Met someone, felt a “deep connection” say you're going to take things slow but in your head you're already picking out china and making the seating arrangements for the wedding of all weddings that is going to take place in two years max.  In my dating/love life. I always attracted men who looked the part (or I convinced myself they were fine but that's for another post.) said the right things but once I got past all that. Turns out they weren't shit, didn't have shit and didn't want shit. In other words emotionally or physically unavailable. Sure, they wanted to fuck but that was it; and...

YOU are destined for greatness!

Hey Cubbers Happy Wednesday! You are destined for greatness. That's right, you! We all are. We all are capable of achieving great things but things like society, family, friends and of course our own vanity either push us down or get in the way of us becoming great. Here's some homework that you can do anytime, anywhere. When you're doubting yourself, think of at least three things you're great at. Doesn't matter what it is. You can either write them down or make a mental note of them. Now, when that's finished think of at least three great things you will notice I didn't say want or wish. Things that you will achieve, they can be big or small it doesn't matter. Because we are all destined for greatness it is our birthright. So now go forth and plant your seeds of achievement! Love, Leo Brown :) 

Are you going with the flow?

Hey Cubbers Happy Tuesday! Yesterday was my first canoe trip and it was a life changing experience. As I got into the canoe I started to panic. Soon I started to relax and it wasn't after the trip ended that I realized that the way I lived my life was a lot like how I was in while I was in the boat. Full of panic whenever the waters became choppy, if we hit a rock or if the boat changed direction. For many, many years I feared the thought of things changing in my life. I now am starting to see that it is time for me to go with the flow of life. Yes, waters do become choppy but all we need to do is relax and allow change to happen in over lives. Yes, we can be fearful but fear can and does hold us down only if we allow it to. It is up to us to go with the flow of our lives and emotions for change is always around the corner and sometimes is needed in our lives for us to see that no matter how rocky the boat becomes we're going to be okay. Are you embracing change? Going with th...

Are you dating a king or a fool?

Dating sucks or does it? What many of us don't understand or learn until much later in life is that the we allow people to treat us the way we should be treated. This lesson has reared it's head a lot in my life especially when it comes to dating and relationships. I found myself asking countless times, am I dating a king or a fool? Now, many of you may be asking what's the difference between the two? How do I know if I'm dating one? Well, I'm here to help. Hopefully by reading this, you'll seek someone who is fit to sit with you on your throne. The Fool: Ah, the fool. full of life, energy, possibility and wide-eyed wonder. What's wrong with this picture you ask? Nothing if you enjoy spontaneity which you'll get plenty of at the start of things. Now, at the start of things I say enjoy it. Have fun with it. However, if you're looking for something long-term you might wanna move on from the fool. Signs you're dating a fool Talk that...

Finding Freedom Within Yourself

I've lived a very sheltered life. As I look back from time to time. I can remember growing up and begin told not to associate with certain people, places or things because it was "wrong". Every time I wanted to do or try something new, I was told "No!" So in turn as I became older and started to take risks, I doubted myself.  In a sense, I had been bound and gagged if you will, by my environment, my upbringing and most of all myself. It has taken me years and many mistakes to find out what true freedom is. When we think of the word freedom we think of the idea of just begin able to do and say what we please, no one telling us what we can and cannot do and of course when we think of freedom we think of America. This great, great country, with it's natural beauty around us. What about inner freedom? Emotional Freedom? Begin able to look in the mirror and actually not just like but love who and what you see in the looking glass? I find that in this fast-pac...
