Blog postMy daughter Nia, is in her 2nd month of high school and with all the worries of drugs, drinking, and of course these no good boys….there’s another internal clock of worry ticking in my mind, one that the parents of past generations didn’t have to fathom…..the possibility of our child’s school being next in line for a mass shooting.
Last year taught us it’s not “if” there’s going to be another school shooting, but “when”.
To have to tell my 13-year-old daughter, to jump out the n -
Blog post“Worry stems from a degree of fear, which is difficult to overcome because it’s how most of us are conditioned to think.”
“Conditioned to think?” Carlos said, standing up walking over to the C.D. player and lowering the volume. “I don’t know how you were taught to think,” he said walking back over to his chair, “but I’m not conditioned or trained to think any type of way.” Shaking his head, sitting back down.
“How did we go from praying and the spirits to how we th -
Blog postOct 10, 2018 at 4:23 PM Suddenly an agonizing outcry interrupted my afternoon spades game. It’s the wailing I was used to after spending over a decade in the penitentiary where stabbings are methodical occurrences that happen every week. Yet, in the two and a half years I’ve been back in M.D.C. Brooklyn on appeal, there’s only been two stabbings on my unit, which would really be labeled as scratches, not that serious at all.
But this currant screeching was reminiscent of the pa -

Blog post“When I finished studying a book, I would normally pass it along to Paradise, who never held back on giving me his point of view of what I gave him to read and today was no different. Walking in my cell, putting the gray chair over the toilet bowl to take a seat, Paradise announced, “I can’t accept all this law of attraction, God is love bull shit!”
“Why not?”
“Because there’s no way that I attracted this life sentence.”
“And yet you’re here with the life sentenc -
Blog postEverything I learned, revealed divine consciousness is God dwelling within and outside of us. The good and the bad, the hot and the cold, all of it is God. By putting things in that context, I didn’t have to know and understand everything. I was working on living with more trust and appreciation of the process by allowing moments to unfold.
I heard a story on the news which helped me stay grateful for all that I had and kept life in the proper perspective.

Blog post“”I’ve condemned myself to hell on earth,” I thought.
Not only am I indicted for a drug conspiracy, but I was under investigation for extortion, a string of burglaries and armed robberies connected to a crooked Suffolk County cop, a group of shady lawyers and one of the Mafia’s five organized crime families.
When Erick Sermon went head first out a fourth-floor window, I was the first person called. My crew had a reputation to dish out street justice. There wa -
Blog postChapter One: The Beginning
Eddie K. Wright
“I experienced the difference living in the black world and the white one. I was sheltered in the safe white world in the suburbs of Long Island, living on a dead end block with close-knit neighbors. Prejudice incidents still occurred with kids once in a while. Being called a nigger was the one word I knew justified any physical beat down I dished out in childhood fights. But I had a good healthy adventurous upbringi -

People wonder how it is that I can cherish the moment of right NOW.
I admit it’s a learned behavior, especially in my current living conditions, back on appeal here at M.D.C. Brooklyn.
I’ve found that the key is learning to put life in the proper perspective, a perspective from which you have a choice to choose.
That’s what determines the conditions of our lives anyway, a series of choices that attracted the situation we find ourselves -
Blog postNia,
This out of all these letters is the hardest to write. You were robbed the most, as an unintentional victim of my mistakes. You of all my children, have never yet experienced me outside of the prison walls.
But you could never tell that based on the relationship we share. We can look at one another, and no words need to be spoken for us to have a clear understanding.
Last year, you looked at me and said, “WOW, you’re my dad,” and repeated emphatically, “You are my -
