Everyday Connection

Ron in his own words:

My life is no more unique than that of anyone else. For we all are unique, have our own unique stories and experiences in life while at the same time, are all part of the same Source.

Just as any other individual in this world, my life has been full of the surprises of ups and downs, good times and hard times. But I have come to figure out that life's experiences can make us a “better” person instead of a “bitter” person. I have come to understand that the true beauty of life is to love and to serve during our time here.

I was blessed to spend my early years in life growing up on a farm surrounded by the beauty of nature and God's creation. I was also blessed to grow in a God loving family that guided me and taught me to always seek out my Creator for the true answers in life. I have deep gratitude and appreciation for this opportunity. Because of this I chose to dedicate about 20 years of my life to the Bible ministry. But during this time there was always a longing that there was something missing and I struggled to find the source of that longing. I decided to move away from organized religion and think outside that box. I continue to explore this path it even to this day.

When I was about 52 years old I was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma. I was very sick, lost weight, was dying and wanted to die from all the pain and suffering. But after a year of chemo and the Love of my children and family, I recovered. It was then I woke up and realized that Love is the only answer and solution to life. Our very existence is Love. I decided from now on to dedicate my life to Love and to God in a whole new way.

Growing up having creative gifts in many different areas, I have decided to use these gifts to promote the message of Love and Oneness.

Brian O’Neal was born July 5, 1965, in Detroit, MI. He first discovered his passion for music at the age of six when he took his first drum lesson. Although Brian (known to his friends as "Bean") learned to play many instruments, including the saxophone, bass, and trombone; he aspired to be a professional drummer. That is until his junior year in high school, when he was asked by his band teacher to fill in on the piano for the band’s performance. Brian instantly became mesmerized with the idea of mastering such a magnificent and gentle instrument. His grandmother, "Daisy O'Neal", then bought him his first piano. As a self- taught Pianist, he later received a full musical scholarship to Alcorn State University.

O'Neal has shared the stage with many great musicians over the past two decades including: Will Downing, Morris Day and the Time, India Arie, Ledisi, Fantasia, Angela Bofill, Stevie Wonder, Maze (featuring Frankie Beverly), Alex Bugnon, George Duke, Pieces of a Dream, Chaka Kahn, Najee, Kindred the Family Soul, and Jeff Lorber.

O’Neal won the Wayman Tisdale Humanitarian of the Year award from American Smooth Jazz Awards and Changemaker of the Year 2013.

His YouTube Channel, , balances funny with informative, and tackles many of today’s toughest issues – education, racism, aswell as providing insight in to the artists own personal life. His rose to the international spotlight with his offering “Why I Hate School But Love Education”, which seemed like a breakthrough. Even on top of past BBC 1 coverage, competition success, American blog love and a DVD last year, the 2 million people that have viewed it so far are evidence, as are the thousands of grateful comments. The video took the internet by storm leading to international coverage in both the Huffington and Washington Post. His youtube channel currently boasts over 6 million views and  over 100k subscribers.

Due to emotions currently beyond our control ;) Rick and I have decided to take the night OFF – See here’s the deal, we have never, and will strive to never pretend to be anything other than that which we are – which, quite frankly, is HUMAN – and so, yes, we too, have bad days…  Today is one of those.

However, as it is our firm belief that while we are NOT hiding our angst, it is also our responsibility not to burden our listeners with our angst, so in the spirit of focusing only on the positive, Rick and I will be spending the next few hours focusing on the very amazing gifts that life has bestowed upon us, and working through our ‘f’ bomb moment with as much grace and ease as humanly possible.  With that in mind, we would like to play one of our all-time fave shows that speaks loudly to honouring your anger, your frustration and finding a way to lead yourself back to the light and love that is the core of our existence. We will be back on the air early tomorrow morning with an amazingly inspirational spoken word artist from the UK, Suli Breaks.  Much love –- to our Mother – to each other and especially to yourselves – STAY CONNECTED!
