Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry is one of my heroes. See my prior blog here. He addresses the tough issues in a blessed and wicked way.

He is a survivor when he could have chosen to be a victim. Hallewyer! I post this with all worldly and heavenly credit to him and (Him!) Enjoy. The first video is from the play “Madea’s Happy Family” which I had the pleasure of seeing in Baltimore. The second is from the movie by the same name.

A Wonderful Review from littlebiggy.org

My faith in humanity is restored. At least temporarily. A gentleman named Raven – a total stranger – reviewed my website here (and below) on a site previously unknown to me. In these discouraging times, when incivility, selfishness, self-absorption and greed run rampant, it is astonishing that a complete stranger took the time to dissect my website and compose such a thoughtful and wholly accurate (smile) portrayal of my professional history and philosophy. Mr. Raven, I thank you for noticing.

Constance Camus has spent an entire career in the legal profession, building reputation upon reputation as a keen mind in several areas of family and criminal law. Her latest endeavor is in the field of legal blogging, having set up her own company site and blog just over two months ago. However, few would suspect Camus of being a newcomer to the legal blogging world upon reading her informative, stylish blog, “Maryland Trial Lawyer.” In it, Camus contributes several quality articles which seem to have the consumer in mind. Camus explains legal details in very plain language and includes such quality content as detailed looks at the processes involved in obtaining protective orders, along with local legal news and commentary. Camus spent nearly a decade as a paralegal before becoming a full-fledged lawyer and thus the depth of her knowledge of the law appears to belie her 12 years as a licensed attorney. After working primarily as an appellate lawyer, Camus seems to have focused lately on the niche of domestic abuse, and appears both passionate and dedicated to this area of practice. She also makes her status as a solo practitioner very clear, and emphasizes a “personal touch,” which may be of great value to those who seek legal assistance in this oftentimes difficult area of the law. Constance Camus appears to have a bright future as a legal blogger if her dedication to such pursuits match that which she has shown as a committed attorney.

How Dean Martin and Bob Newhart got through this without cracking is almost inhuman. Enjoy a bit a levity on a serious topic with three class acts in a classic divorce comedy sketch. The world is a poorer place without them.

“Love is All You Need” sung in 156 Countries

Redemption. An absolute total global redemption song, as it were, for Starbucks. Simply brilliant.

In one fell swoop, we all feel a bit better about the countless $4 coffees purchased from Starbucks. The company created their Love Project when on December 7, 2009, citizens of 156 countries united and sang “All You Need is Love” by the Beatles to spread AIDS awareness.

On December 3, 2009, Starbucks posted this notice on their YouTube channel:

In one amazing moment, the world will come together to sing about the one thing we all have in common love. People from around the world will sing the legendary hit “All You Need is Love” in a single voice on December 7, 2009 at 8:30 am EST. The global sing-along is part of our continuing efforts to help fight AIDS in Africa. In just one year in partnership with (RED)™, Starbucks has generated money equivalent to more than 7 million days of medicine to help those living with HIV in Africa.

You can watch the event, and lend your own voice, when you visit [StarbucksLoveProject.com]. Watch streaming video from countries around the world and then join in by singing “All You Need is Love” yourself. For each video submitted, Starbucks will make a contribution to the Global Fund to help fight against AIDS in Africa. You can also help increase the Starbucks contribution to the Global Fund by submitting a drawing to the Love Gallery.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama once said: “Among the many forms in which the human spirit has tried to express its innermost yearnings and perceptions, music is perhaps the most universal. It symbolizes the yearnings for harmony, with oneself and with others, with nature and with the spiritual and sacred within us and around us. There is something in music that transcends and unites. This is evident in the sacred music of every community – music that expresses the universal yearning that is shared by people all over the globe.”

Love is truly all there is…

Kids have Holes in their Souls in the Shape of their Dads

Knock, Knock: Step Up Fathers, Your Children Need You

Daniel Beaty, at a Def Jam Poetry reading, is the powerful orator and poet that delivers a universal and timeless message to all men, black, white and blended. Take it, Daniel…

Here are but a few of the comments made on Youtube:

"We are the children of our parents, but, we do not have to live the legacy of our parent's choices."

"He's telling us that he retains the best qualities of his father but he doesn't need to be the same man, and so he won't end up in jail and wants others to gain from his experience and do the same."

"I'm going to show this to my kids. I'll tell them this is the kind of man they need to be; this is the kind of man they need to look for. This is why God invented poetry."

"Absolutely wonderful message of hope. I was moved to tears by his powerful and passionate poem! Fantastic message!!! God bless you, Daniel Beaty. You are going to be one hell of a father… your kids will be blessed!"

"One of my top three favorite poems. I have grown up without a dad and have heard poem after poem about the same situation and it seems that, more often than not, the poet plays the victim. We musn't play victims. This is powerful and uplifting, while still maintaining that undertone of loss and sadness. It is brilliant, he is brilliant. WE are brilliant, no matter our laundry lists of faults and short-comings."

"Oh, my Children, you have made an old activist swell with pride."

"Talk to a Lady, Walk like a Man.'' Fatherless boys, all to common these days. Knock Knock!!"
