.gif&w=556&h=133&zc=1)
I laughed. I cried. I got goose-pimpled. I rocked in my seat listening to the music. I was happy one moment and sad soon thereafter. Such was my emotions watching the long-awaited documentary film, “Marley,” this past Saturday at the Laemmle Cinemas in Pasadena, California. As I looked over at my date and seat mate, my ...
Curbing Bad Behavior/You Reap What You Sow
Every once in a while, I am reminded of the biblical scripture “you reap what you sow.” For whatever reason, some of us, human beings, believe we can practice dishonesty, wickedness and avariciousness without any consequences. When I was a teenager growing up in South America, there was a family who terrified our neighborhood with their ...
Curbing Bad Behavior/Practice To Be Perfect
While watching the National Basketball Association (NBA) television channel this past weekend with Larry Brown, former coach of NBA Philadelphia 76 Sixers, as a guest host, I was reminded of the importance of practicing one’s craft to become an exceptional and desired performer.

Curbing Bad Behavior/Sugar Harms Our Bodies
I did it again. Last Sunday, on Easter, I consumed a red velvet cupcake and it tasted good. Then why am I feeling guilty for eating red velvet cake? Well, one week before Easter Sunday, I attended a dinner on Saturday, March 31, 2012 and consumed a dessert that was too sweet for my liking. So, you can imagine ...
Curbing Bad Behavior/Re-dux Give Pertinent Information
I am not a prophet, but sometimes the universe provides one with inspiration which can be prophetic.

Fast forward to the present and you’ll note two ...

Chris Camillo’s keen observations have been realized again. Chris is the author who wrote the book, “Laughing at Wall Street.” In his book, Chris intimates anyone can beat the Wall Street professionals at investing by just reading tabloids, shopping at the mall, paying attention to pop culture and connecting on Facebook and LinkedIn. While reading Chris’ tome, I ...
Curbing Bad Behavior/Bullying
Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese-born Buddhist monk, teacher, author, and peace and social justice activist who helped originate the “Engaged Buddhism” movement, quoted “When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.” As I reflected on ...
Curbing Bad Behavior/Press Pause
The recent Voter Identification Law controversy has given me reason to pause about the present state of our country. Not too long ago encouraging citizens to vote was the rave. What happened to that notion? Why are some individuals attempting to roll back the advancements that were made in the United States of America (USA) regarding voting ...

Curbing Bad Behavior/Give Pertinent Information
A few weeks ago, a loaded semi-automatic gun and a 9 millimeter revolver were pointed at me. It was the most emotionally frightening incident that ever happened to me.
