Courtesy of UsMagazine.com Bobbi Kristina Brown Since the passing of her Mother, Whitney Houston on February 11, 2012 it is said that 18 year old Bobbi Kristina, daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobbi Brown is out of control on drugs. I read these articles and see these headlines and I am angry, disgusted and frustrated.  Why?  Let's forget for a moment that she is a celebrity and look at the facts.  She grew up in a dysfunctional household, more often than not being the parent for her parents.  She witnessed drug abuse and domestic violence first hand.  She became an adult before she was ready. This is an eighteen year old girl who lost her Mother/best friend, suddenly without any warning.  Of course she is out of control.  I lost my Mother at 38 and I was out of control, for months.  Not to mention, she is constantly in the spotlight, being hounded by the media with tabloid disgust being spewed all over the airwaves and internet. ...

Photo of me taken by Carmen a few months ago. I have always been a free spirit doing my own thing. My thoughts and ideas flow freely each moment of each day. I chose this photo for my post because it so aptly depicts the essence of me and the thought behind my post.  We were at a party a few months ago and I was of course, with camera in hand taking photos of the water. Carmen snapped this shot. On Your Own Did you ever notice that when you decide on doing something, whether it be changing jobs or following your dreams and you begin to discuss your ideas with family, co-workers and friends, that you will inevitably need to defend your ideas and most likely end up arguing in defense of your thoughts?  Why? Because when we put those ideas out there, two things happen.  First, behind those ideas is our ego intent on bragging to others in order to validate the thoughts and intent.  Remember that intent from ego is taking the wrong direction.  I...
