Headline news about Jussie Smollett has us all questioning what’s happening here in America, especially, as it pertains to race, LGBTQ issues, and fake news. He made a bold move and it backfired.

By Rick Clemons | 02/15/2019

We all have dreams. Vision of things that we say we want to do. Heck just this past week we heard from Chase Boehringer how his bucket list lifestyle, not only saved his life, but is not his dream calling. Yet, what he did, and what most of us do, we have these big hairy…

353: Uncloseted Riff and Rant – FEAR: facing your truth about those silly fears

By Rick Clemons | 02/01/2019

I know some of you are probably going to balk at this. Go ahead. Balk, balk, balk. But the truth is, most fears in life are short-lived and self-created. Think about it. When fears show up, most the time nothing happens the way we FEAR it will and then we’ve just wasted a whole bunch…

By Rick Clemons | 12/21/2018

Toxic people don’t take a break at the holidays. In fact the own their toxicity and show up when you least expect it and need it. In fact, that’s part of the triggering and wake up call for us to own our IT, and to show up fully being ourselves. After another out of the…

Vulnerability. Everyone seems to be talking about it these days. Or maybe it’s just the circles I run in. The truth is, vulnerability is a gift.

335: Uncloseted Riff and Rant – Curious George, Curious Rick, Curious You!

By Rick Clemons | 11/30/2018

I used to love reading Curious George when I was a kid.

Nothing is perfect. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. But we all know that, yet we pursue perfection and allow it to drive us batty. It’s such a waste of energy that could be put to better use.

By Rick Clemons | 11/09/2018

I know the future, I never encounter anything unexpected, and I am fully in control of what is to come. Yeah right! But don’t we wish that were true? Alas, the unexpected is inevitable. So why do we fight it, cringe when it shows up, and then wail and moan as we deal with it…

I’m never confused. You’re never confused. We’re all never confused. So why do we need to call Confusion Busters? Because we’re all lying! And, we all hate being in a state of confusion. Or at least most of us do. Those of you who enjoy confusion probably also have a thing for getting dental work…
