You don’t have to be a genius to understand that regardless of your sexual orientation or gender identity, showing your real self to the world can sometimes be a very scary proposition. The fears of rejection and not being good enough throw us into the corner of the closet where we put on our multiple…
We’ve all got needs and desires. But one guy on this planet really nutted this concept down to 6 Human Needs. That guy is Tony Robbins and I have to say, when I saw this YouTube Video with his take on the 6 Human Needs I thought, damn, I really need to give a f*ck about…
Two questions that always haunt those of us who come out of the closet later in life are, “How did you not know you were gay?” and “Wasn’t your marriage just sham to protect yourself at your spouse’s expense?” For years and years those questions haunted me and I thought I was the only one…
We’ve all heard it – “Change your perspective and everything changes!” So if it is that easy then why don’t we do it? Often times it is because we don’t know how to change our perspective, even if staying in our current perspective is painful. Then one day, BOOM, you can no longer endure the…
Glam rock, AIDS, and being yourself. Then imagine being called one of the most iconic queer musicians and you’ve kind of got a glimpse of today’s guest. Fabulous, fun, and willing to put it all out there in his music and his life, Tim Cain is on the brink of releasing what some are calling…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. May your day be filled with everything GREEN, excpet being GREEN WITH ENVY! Envy is one of those emotions that doesn’t do a body good in any way, shape or form. In fact it often destroys us. So in honor of it being green day, and I don’t mean the band…
Coming out is about bringing all sides of yourself to the role you’ve been placed on this earth to play. It’s also about being optimistic and carefree with a purpose. It’s about being you, the real you, 24/7 even if that means being a goofball and asking yourselves and others the questions, no one else…
My teens favorite response to questions is “I don’t know!” Ok, I get it, sometimes we don’t know, but is that really true 100% of the time? To often “I don’t know” becomes a habitual patterned response so that we can avoid dealing with the stuff that we don’t want to deal with. But what…
We’ve all got a story. A story to uncover, to share, and to help others. Each and every story has purpose. Yet, if we don’t share our stories, or ourselves, and the world doesn’t benefit, and we have less impact, being who we are meant to be in the world. So starting today, be open…
We’ve all been given a gift. The gift of time. Yes, I know I’m not the first the say that, nor the last. But have you ever considered how time might be keeping in a closet of your life? Holding you back from doing the things that light you up and make you come alive?…
From baseball to ballet. Video games to theater productions. First picked to last picked. And even from “A’s to F’s” we are who we are because of messages we received on the playgrounds of our lives. Messages that impact our spiritual ability to accept who we are and to thrive in the possibility of who…
You gotta itch that needs scratching. It’s something you desire and want. But in your lovely little mind you find yourself saying, “When the time is right…” Ok. Fine. Wait for the right time. So you wait and then along comes the RIGHT TIME, it knocks at your door and bada bing, bada boom, YOU…
Let’s talk about sex. Or love. Or relationships. And while we’re at it lets address guilt, shame, frustrations, abusive relationships, and STD’s. YES! We’re talking about all those things that sometimes feel yucky and uncomfortable to talk about. Yet, when we do talk about these things, life gets so much more interesting and we learn...
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “You are not your thoughts!” Or maybe, you heard, “You are what you think!” Both are correct, but it is hard for us to wrap our head around that concept. With over 70,000 thoughts rushing through our heads, any given day, how can we not be our thoughts? Today we…
Imagine being in the national spotlight. In The Real World (yes that one on MTV). You’re a frat boy who’s simply cuter-than-cupid and to start that next chapter of your life. So what is one such as he supposed to do? It’s Simple. Be BOLD. In Davis Mallory’s case, his big bold move isn’t getting…
