I am going to take a chance here and offer up my opinion about something to which I have developed strong feelings. After this, I am going to let it go.
We have millions of people starving, homeless, and those who are having trouble paying for rent and mortgage in this country. That is why it is hard to believe that the media is so incredibly focused on such things as Beyonce’s Bangs and Snooki’s “no make up” picture. I find it hard to swallow – on one level. Do you?
Ok! Again, I understand that following celebs is fun, exciting, and allows us to take our eyes off of the problems of every day. I am also a Beyonce fan and think she is incredibly talented as an entertainer. But I can’t help but to believe that there are stories out there that are just as exciting, just as inspiring, just as engaging – about every day folks – as there are about celebs like Beyonce and Snooki. Would you agree?
Don’t get me wrong, I totally get the whole “marketing thing” that allows a celebrity to keep his/her name in the public eye. And I also understand and respect that “fans” want to be in touch with their chosen celebrity. I also believe that as a society, it is time for us to begin to “let go” of this need to know every little details of our famous ones.
That shared, I also understand that the celebs feed that need to know as well. about something that isIt would be great to hear a news bit about Beyonce reading a book of substance. Or about Snooki writing a blog worthy of real news other than getting drunk and spitting up in a club. Right?
Ok. I am done with my ranting and am going to “let this go” as of this moment. But I just had to share my simple thoughts in this complicated world.
Any thoughts?

What a wonderful opportunity to be able to reach out electronically and touch lives through this blog. Your E-book “Letting Go of Stuff” helps illustrate ways to free ourselves of burdens holding us back. It is so easy to get in a rut about our own lives while focusing on what celebrities are doing.
Best wishes on your success in helping others.

Started reading, Letting Go of Stuff on Saturday. Can’t put it down! At page #131 now and reading, “Action is what counts! It makes the diffrence between those who succeed and those who want to succeed! Amen to that, Brother.
A friend of mine testing, “P” (positive) likes to say that there are only two people in the world, the quick and the dead. 🙂
Great stuff!

I find myself reading some of the chapters over and over because they are very thought provoking. You have an incredible gift that I think can truly change people lives for the better. You believe in people and the seven secrets are absolutely amazing. Thank your for giving a part of yourself to others and believing that people really can CHANGE and live a very productive life. I look forward to being a part of it all.
