Womb to Tomb

Seize the moment!

Successful people do just that.
Carpe Diem!

The problem with everything happening in a flash is, all you ever get to do is look back at things. You get to remember as the spin winds down. The shine dwindles. The white washes out….
The color fades.

The Doppler effect.

It’s coming.
It’s gone.

The light was so bright when I opened my eyes…

Brighter than I even feared!

They pulled me out three weeks late.

Straight from the womb to this blinding light.

It would kill me, this intense white!

It was suffocating.

I couldn’t breathe!

There he was though. Open palms. Welcoming me home.

Beautiful.

He just wanted a hug.

And I gave it to him.

What else was there to do? It was my first and last breath in this strange world!

I had made it. Finally.

Love.

Forever.

But someone was crying.

It wasn’t me. I was happy!

But, I could feel their pain —

— or was it joy?

In it, I drew a breath and remembered…

What a life you’ve lived…
…I’ll be there soon.

     "I remember everything." said Chris Stephens, during an interview late in August. "I remember meeting you in Memphis, Tennessee. We both worked at Kroger and I was stocking the dairy section. You came up to me with some lettuce in your hands and asked me if I trained at Kang Rhee's Pasa Ryu Kung Fu center."      That was more than ten years ago.      Since early last month, I have had the privilege of working on Chris's biography: A Bounty Hunter's Guide to Success , due out in early January. That much I can remember, but don't ask me too many details; that's why my computer has a save button. If someone were to ask me what I was doing ten years ago, the blank my mind drew would have been evident through my stare and a sarcastic remark would've raced to fill in the void.      A super sharp memory is one of the gifts that some kids with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) are born with. Though Christopher is no longe

Living Against Your Likes can Lead to Liberation

Have you ever heard of someone feeling better because they have been taking a cold shower every morning? Has a friend or family member ever told you how great they feel after cutting sugar out of their diet? I think we all have witnessed how amazing people begin to look when they dedicate themselves to an exercise regimen. Are these things just better for us, or is there a secret behind doing things that we really, would just rather not do?       I had been working as an EMT for the better part of ten years, and had become quite use to seeing and doing things that nobody would rather do. The horrific and stressful experiences I placed myself in at work, more than one hundred hours a week, had in turn caused me to produce a home-life that was pretty cozy. Thus, when I changed jobs to a less stressful one, I started gaining weight and became much more volatile. Why, when I had much less stress in my life, was I declining physically and emotionally?      Yes, I had begun drinking m
