There was a time in our not so distant history when the old taught the young; knowledge that was passed down from generation to generation on how to live life. It amazes me to this day that we’ve lost touch with that very crucial aspect or essence of who we are as a people.
Our children are now forced to seek that knowledge, good or bad, from “the streets.” Yet, we wonder why this generation of young adults is so lost; many are now going to prison at an alarming rate for crimes against humanity (drug trafficking, shooting up the neighborhood, breaking into the neighbor’s house, identity theft, and the list goes on…).

To me, “Super Soul Sunday” is that much needed show for people who are seeking the joy of living life in its simplest form. I for one am thrilled that Ms. Oprah Winfrey has decided to do this type of show on her network (OWN channel 189) and I really do encourage you to watch it on Sunday. I promise you it will enrich and enlighten your soul; plus there’s the possibility that this show will answer some of those questions you have in your head that nobody has been able to answer.
To me true knowledge is not obtained unless you first seek it because if you obtain knowledge without reason it has no purpose to you; at the moment it has no value.
It’s my strong belief that Oprah Winfrey’s show “Super Soul Sunday” is at best a starting point for getting back to the basics of life and the essence of who we are as a people in our communities. I imagine that if you and I take small steps in the right direction we can make big strides towards keeping our children safe, obtaining peace (with self and in our homes), finding and maintaining balance (work and life), and finding that road to happiness that we all eventually look for. First we must find our truth and learn to make peace with it; in essence we must conquer the monsters in our own closets. How do we do that you say? We learn.

I’m thrilled that Ms. Winfrey is on this personal journey and I can’t wait to see where she takes the show because right now her only choice is to come down off the mountain; if she wants to reconnect with her fans. I’ll be cheering her on from the sidelines and it’s my hope that you will too. I just think that anyone that’s willing to teach you how to live life better through peace and harmony with self is pretty damn amazing in my book. There you have it! I said it, and I’m an Oprah fan; now the world is truly changing. I’m so laughing at myself right now.
