Flying Dragon Trapped in a Parakeet Cage

Lately I've been on this "coming out" kick. No, it's not what you think. I'm not claiming a new sexual orientation, I'm talking about unleashing my inner dragon that's been locked in a parakeet cage for far too many years. The best way to describe it is with pictures. This lives inside me: But for many years, this is how I've lived: At the very least, I'd like to find a happy medium. So that's where massive activity comes in handy. I'm busting out of my small energy and into my large energy. Hula hooping and jumping on the trampoline while lip-synching punk rock wearing a feather boa helps me clear out the old and awaken the new (see video below or on YouTube). Of course, warrior workouts with Jaiya Figueras of Your Next Victory help too. Unleash your inner dragon. Get Galvanized!

When I Used to Work at the Long Beach Museum of Art

Lately I've had a few Master Mind meetings at Claire's restaurant at Long Beach Museum of Art with my friend Linda Saito. It has brought back memories of how I was a student of John Moynes at Long Beach City College and he hired me as the Public Relations Intern. I was working on The Viking Newspaper and still connected to the punk rock and art scene. Computers were just beginning to be common. The Public Relations department just got the latest copy of DBase which was a database management program from the dark ages. Think pre-historic Outlook or ACT!. Green, blinking screen, an endless accordion of mailing labels attached to a dot matrix printer. You old school geeks know the drill. So anyway, since I was already there, I decided to walk up to where I used to work and take some "behind the scenes" footage of the offices at Long Beach Museum of Art. The art is beautiful and the woodwork that accentuates this California Bungalow style home from the early 1900's is simply decadent. Take a little mental break and engage your creative side won't you?

What Are Your Influences?

Every musical act has influences. The Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest influenced each other. Punk bands from the U.K. influenced garage bands in Southern California and vice versa. Reggae and dub influenced each other. What are your influences? That's what we talked about in Helping and Listening Skills this week. We came up with a great list and I liked it so much I took a picture of it. I asked the students to tell me about the things that influence them. What do they value? Why do they do what they do; love what they love? This is the list they came up with: Parents Environment -Friends -Neighborhood -Peers -Religion Culture Schools Food/Nutrition Media Mental Illness Life Experience -Observation Socio-Economic Status ($$$) Books Music Relationships Friendships Family -Uncles -Aunts -Brothers -Sisters -etc. Role Model -Coach -Minister -Teacher Law Government Health Medication/Drugs Language Sleep Fashion Freedom Travel Pets Sex Arts -Pictures -Painting -Dance Entertainment Perception The point I want to make in this class is that you cannot know any of these things about yourself or anyone else unless you first learn how to listen. A great Master Mind group is one that's committed to honoring and respecting each other and that includes listening unconditionally and without judgment. It is honoring a person to trust that they know what's best for their own life. --------------- Start a Master Mind Group.comWhen you think about it, every musical act you know of is using the Master Mind principle whether they realize it or not.

Friendship Caused My Life to Shift and Birthed ‘The Sheri and Erin Show’

This morning I read an e-mail from Oprah. She posted a short video of Regie Hamm and asked her insider community to answer this question: "Regie Hamm found his fame on American Idol and his heart through a special needs child. What has caused your life to shift?" I responded with this answer:
In the past, all of my shifts in life came about from "hitting bottom. But this year I have experienced major shifts in my life as a result of love and friendship. About one year ago I had a "chance" meeting with Erin. We became fast friends and eventually we started our own BlogTalkRadio show. The conversations I have with Erin are life-transforming, mainly because of her ability to remain non-judgmental and to listen to what I have to say. I would like to think I offer the same benefit to her and we have both become a better version of our "Selves" because of this relationship. As a result of this relationship and our talk show together, we are able to reach out to others so they can also experience the impact of friendship, mutual respect and unconditional love. This is a very gratifying, soul-satisfying way to experience the shift and I hope to shift even more as I move toward my greater destiny.
In the same e-mail, Oprah posted a video blog about Marget & Joe – two people who managed to find an unlikely friendship 30,000 feet above sea level. Then she asked readers to write about how they found friendship in the most unlikely of places. Here's how I answered:
About one year ago I met my friend and co-host Erin at church. The fact that we met at church is no big deal. But what makes it seem miraculous is that she only went to this church one time and one time only and I am a sporadic attendee. So, the chances of us meeting were very slim. She was sitting in the after-church refreshment area alone and I invited her to sit next to me. I didn't know many people and I always liked it when someone made me feel welcome so I simply extended a gesture. We discovered instantly that we had many similar interests and we became fast friends. Over the past year we have had hundreds of phone conversations for thousands of hours. After 4 months of knowing each other, we started a BlogTalkRadio show so we could talk some more and also share our insights and favorite things with an internet audience. The experience of having a show has been so magical that we hope we can do even more and eventually get a T.V. talk show together. In any case, our friendship has impacted our lives and the lives of many others all because of a "chance" meeting.
I think it's important to share the good things in life with each other. On The Sheri and Erin Show we dedicate the second Thursday of the month to talk about Master Minding. This is a great way to build mutually respectful and supportive relationships with other people. Click on the player below to hear one of our shows about Master Minding or visit our show page today.

I submitted an audition to Oprah on Sunday. I'm asking you to vote for me to get my OWN T.V. talk show. In my audition, I tell Oprah I want to talk to roller derby girls. And I mean it. It's a fast growing sport that empowers women and it is fun to watch. In the 70's, everyone watched it and loved it. Let's get it back on T.V. I want a show thats a mix between Soul Train and old school Oprah. You know, when she used to have real-life, everyday people on and they'd tell amazing stories and experience transformation before your eyes. How about if we do transformative shows and mix it up with fun stuff like music and roller derby? That's what I want to do and you can help me by voting today. Vote early, vote often. Your opportunity to vote ends June 3.

I submitted an audition tape to Oprah on Sunday. I'm hoping that you will vote for me to get my OWN T.V. talk show. We taped the audition in front of a live audience. Between takes I did a little dancing, a little rapping and a little jumping up and down. All caught on video. I want a show that's a mix between Soul Train and old school Oprah.
