King is a fun loving poet, activist, mentor, lover, fighter, and everything in between. Born in Dallas, TX and raised in the South Dallas neighborhood. He wrote his first poem at 12 and his first performance was in a Baptist church, at the age of 17, when a lady that saw his unique gift for the art made him get up in front of his peers and showcase his talent. Since then he has been dedicated to helping people young, and old find their voice, and he encourages them to give it to the world, because, “we all have a story to tell”. He says, “from the baby in the womb to my brothers locked in the beast’s tombs, to the fatherless sons, to the sista whose heart is on the run, these are the people for whom I write, and every day I pray that my words can do them justice”.

Life Challengers, come on in and have a seat. Class is in! Active participation is encouraged, but not required. Sharing your thoughts with comments that inspire, encourage, motivate and enlighten helps us live fuller and more satisfying lives. There is no right or wrong answers. Plan to join us on Wednesdays for the radio broadcast. Last week, it was all about Mentorship. We are the products of our environment. Many parental figures and friends encouraged, inspired, motivated and enlightened us. They were our mentors and many of them, still are! Now, it is time to reposition ourselves in life in preparation for tomorrow’s challenges. If we are not happy or satisfied with where we are in life, it is time to reposition ourselves. We still have to know what we want and what we already have, so we will know what is required from us. Hello! If we are not where we think we should be in life, what can we do that is different from what we have been doing? To reposition you, change must take place. We have to prepare by thinking about and planning the most effective course of action that will help us. Once again, look at all of your life domains (health, relationships, spirituality, employment, education, recreation and pleasure, housing, etc.) and decide if you are okay. If not, imagine what would make things better, then develop goals and attach plans to achieve them. Remember, it is not business as usual, you have to reposition yourself! Life Challengers, what have you doing, now, to get what you want, that you hadn't been doing? We need testimonies that encourage, inspire, motivate and enlighten. Please share so that others can join in on the discussion.

We will continue our conversation with Coach Tony Ussery from last week: You aren't what you eat, you are what you think, see, feel and vibrate. We will pick up with 'you are what you vibrate'.

Cori Tadrus writes, "You probably don't know much about me, since you're reading my bio, so here's a little background: I am a humanist. A pacifist by nature, who gets salty when I drink Wild Turkey and sassy when I wear hoop earrings. I dress my French Bulldog, Lola, in funky sweaters when it's cold. I have a degree in anthropology and spent most of my twenties working as a refugee caseworker by day and a bartender by night. I listen to Jay-Z when I cook, Sam Cooke when I bake, and Miles Davis when I write. I am honest to a fault. I believe in conspiracy theories, astrology, the underdog, and stilettos. I suck at math. I am way more flea market than stock market. "

On this first day of Spring we are going to getting happy with our guest and kick this season off on the right foot. Join the conversation.

FLAWED HAPPINESS

Athena Wallace has spent the first thirty years of her life desperately trying to be perfect. But as her sassy, unfiltered best friend, Nadine, points out, “being perfect ain’t got shit to do with being happy.” With this reality weighing heavily on her, Athena takes on a new assignment at the magazine where she works as a columnist: an exposé on how six strangers seek happiness through the exotic venues of Manhattan nightlife. Side by side with an eclectic cast of characters – including a millionaire attorney who moonlights as a drag queen and a motorcycle-riding grandma wit h a ‘fuck-it’ list – Athena embarks on a soulful, and often satirical, journey to find her happiness. As she discovers, sometimes you have to look outside of yourself in order to become the person you are meant to be. Purchase your copy here: http://www.coritadrus.com/purchase.html
