Photo: Rose & Anzai Country Life/YouTube A Good Picker Leads to a Good Partner Recently, I was watching a YouTube channel which made me think about the importance of fixing what I refer to in For the Love of my Father (2nd Edition), as a “broken picker.” For women, our picker is the instinct that […]
It’s often entertaining to look at the things we humans do when I take myself out of the movie of life for a moment and just observe. Jokingly, I consider what a being from another planet (presuming they exist) would see while watching us. Yet, as most of humanity goes so far, we manage to […]
We humans are funny. In many instances not laugh-out-loud funny, but just crazy funny. I feel that If there are aliens watching us now, their eyes (if they have them) are popping out at all times.

My brother and I would fall asleep on the sofa waiting for his footsteps to come up the stairs of our apartment building. My father always seemed cool and collected. That’s why as […]
Despite all physical appearances, every human, shares approximately 99% of the same DNA. Science has clarified and confirmed there is no such thing as different “races” of humans. “Race” as we use the term today is a fictitious concept created by humans for the purpose of dividing and establishing superiority. It is just one of […]
It is always funny to see how we behave when we see the “first” of a particular group of humans do something. We act as though it was a complete impossibility—a huge surprise. Nothing is impossible for GEFS (God Force Energy Spirit). Some of us have lived in this thinking for so long it makes […]
