I randomly skimmed through a handful of newspapers today, just to see how much horror I was missing. The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Los Angeles Times and The New York Times didn’t let me down. It was all there: dead teens, job and home losses, political instability, Dr. King’s legacy, war. As they say, "to name a few." It wasn['t all bad news, but it sure felt like more of us need to stand up, speak up, step up or just do things on the up and up. At least in our own lives.
On the April "Say It By Heart" shows, I feature people who have done that and encourage others to do the same. Check them out, so you can start movin’ on up.
Week of April 7th: We often hear that "Nice Guys finish last," but it doesn’t have to be that way. Dr. Robert Glover talks about how Nice Guys can communicate their way to the top, at least in their own circle of influence. Dr. Glover does incredible work with men, and opens the eyes of women to what men can go through when they're suffering with Nice Guy Syndrome. And no, you can't take a pill for it. But Dr. Glover has just the right prescription for Nice Guys, and the women who love them.
Week of April 14th: Susanism: "This is not a time for silence." Especially for women. Any conversation with Rev. Dr. Susan Newman is always a spirited one! You've already seen is one of her Susanisms. You’ll hear several others while being encouraged to raise, or strengthen, your true voice.
Week of April 21st: Think you’re too old, too fat, too uneducated, too … whatever … to take the first step toward your heart’s desire? Wrong! Experience "The Soul of Lee Genesis" for proof. Meet the multi-talented performer who is just getting started – again – at 60+ years of age. Lee Genesis can also now claim to be "death-defying." Late last month he survived an attack by his car in Miami Beach. The Sue Auclair Publicity! news release about it follows this schedule.
Week of April 28th: Robert Pruitt is back! The author of "Out of the Box: Sharing the Gift You Are With the World" speaks with me about deciding what’s next in your life, how to share (or not) what you’re going to do about it, and how to handle it when "next" looks too much like "before." If you heard the earlier show with Robert, you definitely won't want to miss this one. The conversation is partially informed by his experience of the sloooowww rebuilding process in New Orleans.
PRESSING MATTERS ON MIAMI BEACH!
Singer Lee Genesis, who was showcased earlier this year in Boston and in New York City, was taking part in the Winter Music Conference in Miami Beach on Friday, [March 28] when a runaway parked car rolling downhill ran over him.
"It’s a miracle I’m alive and OK," said Lee. "After the late night events were over, I had parked the car, but forgot that the car was still in "drive" and the driveway of the Miami Beach Resort & Spa Hotel is on an incline. Then I dropped my keys while getting out of the car and the car began to roll downhill and when I tried to stop it, it just rolled over me!"
"Everyone was screaming and then a really nice guy with emergency medical training came over and started praying to Jesus that I would be alright and I got up and walked away from the spot where I’d fallen. The car rolled over my shoulder blade, but there was a depression in the ground that saved me--when my body fell, I fell into that depression so the full force of the car didn’t hit me. The ambulance came and the hospital did a bunch of x-rays at 5:30 am in their trauma center and everything seems to be fine. I’m bruised and on Percodan, but otherwise I’m OK. Doctors said it was a miracle," stated Lee.
Genesis’ new CD, The Soul of Lee Genesis is garnering sales and airplay around the U.S. but even more so throughout Europe where R&B, soul and jazz are more widely admired.
Genesis’ new dance CD, The House of Lee Genesis is also generating a great deal of interest here but in Europe there is even more excitement as tours of Italy are being offered by industry titans who heard his soulful singing at the conference in Miami.
Lee Genesis and his full 8 piece band are scheduled to appear at Scullers Jazz Club (Boston, MA) in September this year.
