  • All things me are beautiful 😻 and at rest 🛌
    I am a figuratist, not a literalist. I have mastered figurative language and literal language. I have a precocious ability to read, my word-reading and word recognitions super abilities ability are well above what would be expected at my age as well as going far above expected levels of skill. I am often fascinated by letters, written material, and numbers. I am extremely good at decoding language, I was an early reader, I spelled long words and I read whole sentences before the tender age of seven. I am a precocious writer, I am a child prodigy and I am a genius! I love being a polymath! If I did sleep with sex workers, way more free than paid. I’d compensate them occasionally so they can buy certain things for themselves. Most of the women I am involved with don’t live that kind of life.

  • My special guest Alison Pena is The Bad Widow

    Background Information

    Alison Pena aka Bad Widow, is a lifelong New Yorker, who lives in Manhattan. As a primary caregiver until her husband of 25 years, David, died in her arms at home after an 11-month battle with pancreatic cancer, Alison learned A LOT about living fearlessly, even in the face of death itself.

    As a widow, she faced pervasive assumptions that she was broken by her loss, perhaps forever. Alison discovered she didn't know who she was without him and people who supported her stepped up, stepped back or stepped out. As a result, she was isolated and lonely but could not find resources to solve how to reconnect, get back to work and open up to love again so she created them. She began BadWidow.com and it resonated for people who had suffered a loss too.

    She is unafraid of ruffling feathers and having provocative conversations on life and death. Her Bad Widow brand is vulnerable, transparent, brave and inspiring.

    Alison loves travel (domestic and foreign), reading and writing, doing singing and poetry open mics, cooking organic meals, NYC and Maine, talking about business and lifestyle-to-legacy ideas, and learning new stuff.

    Topics She Can Discuss:

    1) Learn 3 essential stages to navigate transition or loss more powerfully and peacefully.

    2) What I learned about living fearlessly & taking bold action when my husband was dying.

    3) How to handle depression, fear, anger, shame, grief, tears & other disturbing feelings when they show up unexpectedly.

    4) How to open up to sex & intimacy again after not dating anyone since 1992 & find true love again online in just six months.

    6) How to assess & rebuild support networks proactively so the right people are in them who can deliver what you need.

    7) How self-care is an essential, not optional, practice for business success.

    8) My experiences of my husband as an active and communicative ghost, after he passed away in my arms at home.

    9) How to create WIN-WIN communication & supportive interactions between people who have suffered a loss and those who love them.

    10) How Alison honors her husband's legacy of 1000 paintings while not giving up her own.

  • The Universe is my Church, The Earth is my Church
    I left the evangelical movement for the human rights movement because I want and I need to have all walks of life as my global audience. You can be an evangelical and a non-evangelical to champion human rights. I all-around experience the entire human diversity of women who are positive persons. Women are natural beauties inside and out. I am for appropriate self-defense and the appropriate defense of others. I am a hippie in heart. By the way, I have a hippie kind of sexual ethics: the do no harm principle. All good people in all walks of life are Christlike (I am open to all positive persons and all positivity). I am also supportive of Religious Freedom (Non-Discriminatory Right to Express Faith or Non-Faith) and the secular movement. By the way, I don’t myself and other people attending strip clubs, and adult entertainment environments, social drinking and weed usage as long as the do no harm principle (my life ethics) is honored. In conclusion, I say I am for any lifestyle and for any perspective in the name of the do no harm principle.

  • My special guest Nicole Odom-Hardnett converses with me about blended families, a delicate family lifestyle

    In her own words: "I have been a blended/bonus family mom since 2013. My blended family includes my husband, Thomas, two biological children, and five bonus children. I am passionate about moms and families (blended and traditional), I enjoy sharing my experiences about blending, marriage, parenting, and business. I believe all families – blended or traditional – can beat the odds and weather the storms of marriage and family life. I love encouraging others, and sharing my perspectives on spousal priority, preventive parenting, and blended family dynamics. My topics are filled with thought-provoking stories, interactive inspiration, practical experience, and suggested activities.

    One of my favorite sayings is, “Hang on; hold on tight,”

    When blended moms and families hang on for what almost always is an interesting ride, they also need to hold on tight; the reward though, is always worth it.

    Background Information

    I am currently the President/CEO of a company that assist persons struggling with addiction. I have been an entrepreneur for 10 years. Now I am looking to expand my avenues and add public speaking to my resume. I am a published author.

    Topics I Can Discuss:

    Blended Families, The slow climb to making 6-7 figures in business, Marriage and Open Communication, Money Management, Dominating as a Woman, Fashion, and Beauty."

    10 Interview Questions You Can Ask Me

    1.How difficult can dealing with a blended family be?

    2.What happens if the biological mom and the step mom don't like each other?
    3.What do you do if the biological mom talks about the step mom?
    4.When should you introduce the children to the person you are dating?
    5.What should a biological parent do if their child is disrespecting the stepparent?
    6.When should or should all parents involved meet?
    7. Should the couple attend therapy? If so, should the therapist be in the church or not?

  • I embody both sexual generosity and sexual gratitude.
    Women are goddesses, queens, empresses, and princesses. I love being their king, and their prince! They are into inner beauty, so am I. Most of my time spent with women do not involve sex, but involves emotional intimacy, spiritual intimacy, social intimacy, and intellectual intimacy. We appreciate each other, and we see each other as well-shaped. We have in all of the legal sexual settings (private sex and public sex.) We explore each other’s entire bodies in every which way positive. Lastly, we do all things under the sexual sun (except genital crushing, except human waste, and except being burned up.)

  • Old-school black culture
    Ageism and adult supremacy tended to be the most dominant and the most evident around lots of black folks that I was around in my childhood. I also noticed that growing up, that Christian black adults in particular were visibly hesitant  to correct each other publicly. For example, whenever the Christian black elders in their sixties cursed, the Christian black adults in their forties wanted to say something, but backed down because they would mutter under their breath "They're my elders, I can't tell them what to do." I dislike their racial conspiracy thinking. The Christian black adults in their forties, would join in the profanity (even though they usually don't curse.) I saw rare moments  when the elderly cursed, the middle-aged would try to stop them. The elderly would read the middle-aged the riot act.  Not every elder is an "elder". Older doesn't mean better, and older doesn't mean wiser. Most of the abuse overcomers I met have been black, "Beat the black off" is how they were threatened. 
     In fact, those same black overcomers of abuse told me that topics of sex crimes, abuse, and violent offenses were kept quiet in their black religious families and black houses of worship. They even told me that their relatives knew they were being traumatized. The adult relatives said nothing, did nothing, and had the audacity to demonize the abuse overcomers with words, fists, and the belt for reporting it, and told them to keep the trauma "in-house." They were cut off completely  by their families, church mates, friends, and friends of their families. "In-house" means no physical protection, the foolish "no-snitching code", and no legal justice. The Christian black adults in my youth would say their favorite words with a southern drawl: "Grown", "Bills", "Car", "House," and "Roof." Those are forms of the tragic prosperity gospel. It causes kids to grow up fast like other traumas. They always complained about co-workers and the boss. 
      Financial security and academic security doesn't protect black people from racism and self-black hatred. It's okay to have degrees, diplomas, and living independently, but those things should never be idols. Speaking of idols, lots of older black people that I was around tended to put the elders above God. They quoted the elders more than they quoted God.  They ran their homes poorly, letting toxic people call their house phones, cell phones, work phones, letting toxic people email them, video chat them, and voicemail them, and letting toxic people in and out their homes. Some were uncomfortable with drinking and smoking when it came to themselves and others, but let folks drink and smoke in their homes. They let toxic adults do whatever they pleased in their homes.
    There is not enough Prophet Nathans and John The Baptists' in modern church. Jesus reveres children, and corrects adults. I strictly and only like the black church of legal Jim Crow days.  
       The Christian Church is so divided over many subjects. Christians disagree with each other peacefully, other times mean-spiritedly when it comes to tattoos, piercings, premarital sex, drinking, nightlife, "out-of-wedlock parenting", weed, profanity, adult entertainment, LGBTQIA+, cohabitation, adult comedy clubs, secular music, secular television, secular movies, the eternal state of non-Christians, relationships with Non-Christians, all traditional Christian beliefs, etc. Some Christians have these realities as parts of their lives. Non-believers and unbelievers from my experience are not divided over social justice and denominations, but, the believers are. They're also more knowledgeable of all religions than believers from my experience. Social justice has gone down in church due to money loss, the fear of foreclosure, fear of public ridicule, fear of social rejection, and fear of career derailment. They sadly equate gay with rape, because of rapes of blacks by whites. Adults aren’t God, kids aren’t Satan, and do not ever cover up racism.

  • My special guest and my friend Rev. Dr. Marcia Ledford discusses both Progressive Christianity and The Social Gospel with me.

     My recent survey indicates people don’t feel they can make a difference. But remember, Jesus, the 12 disciples, and women and men alike, changed the world. Take heart and do something for justice. You will help someone, you will send a strong message that you’re not having injustice. You will feel better because you are contributing to a more just society, and your spiritual life will deepen. How am I so sure? It’s happened to me. Let’s work for justice together. My new book is a heartfelt response to our cruel laws and policies that are tearing our country apart. This book also has some bite. We have First Amendments rights that protect us in speaking out against unjust laws and policies. We are even protected in speaking in the public square about our faith. We the people of faith must speak out when our government marginalizes people. We do not have to settle for what our federal government is doing.

    Great resource for the spirituality of resistance. Roger writes about creation care, but the concepts are applicable to any issue. The spirituality of resistance involves doing the inner work to discover your passions. Then you join with others sharing these common goals to work for justice and the greater good.


    Marcia Ledford
    AUTHOR | PRIEST | SPEAKER | ATTORNEY

    Throughout my life, I have worked for justice, first as a civil rights attorney, and now as an Episcopal priest. I learned that I wanted to argue the compassionate Gospel in court. The First Amendment prohibits Gospel rhetoric in court.

    Yet, we can work for justice in the court of public opinion, and the First Amendment guarantees that. Join me to do justice and love mercy for a more compassionate and inclusive American society. Together, we will make a difference.

    And, rightly so.
