It's Fan Boy Friday, "Make It Happen" Edition!

It's time for another edition of "Fan Boy Friday," and this week is about more than any one person. It's about a whole group of people and what they are all doing that is so inspiring. 

First, the back story. We all know these are unusual times. We're still dealing with a global pandemic and now the nation has erupted with protests and demonstrations calling for an end to systemic racism. It's a big time right now and passions, emotions, and tempers are all running hot. I'm capturing much of it here at San Diego John, but there is literally a whole world of stories and experiences and it's a lot to process. 

With everything happening around me, I've been in a "take it all day by day" mode. I'm not really thinking much about the future, let alone doing much to shape it into any specific direction. And realizing that has me taking a deeper look at why that is. I mean, it's not like life has actually stopped, right?

Which brings me to Fan Boy Friday and the people I'm celebrating today.

• Brian Volkmuth, who is adding even more credentials to an already impressive resume by testing for his Quality Matters Online Teaching Certificate. 
• Elizabeth Anne Hamilton, who completed another college course on her way to getting her BA in Business by 2023.
• Jennifer Roe, who launched her Fab and Flawed podcast and is already sharing her story and her struggles with hundreds of engaged listeners.
• Teri Brantley Brown and Angela Lee, who are launching their Old Broads Run podcast that is absolutely going to help other older women get off their butts, into their sneakers, and out on the roads running.
• Lorrie Hellcat Bamford, who has created a Journaling Presentation, is working on a book, and is launching her WhatTheHellCat? website.
• Me'Kayla Renter, who has embraced investing in her future with a passion, learning everything she can about longterm investing and passive income and sharing it with everyone she knows.

Why am I a fan of all of these people? Because each of them has made a choice to actively engage with their lives right now. They all are taking specific steps to change their lives, right now and in the future. They are all showing me - showing all of us - that we don't have to let uncertain times and chaotic moments control our actions.

Yes, we need to pay attention to what is happening right now. These are important moments and we shouldn't look away. Get educated and get involved.

But, don't let what is going on around you out you in a frozen state, as if the best thing you can do is just stand still in time until everything sorts itself out. That isn't a solution.

Learn from all of these folks. If you want to take charge of your life, do it now. 

• Start something. 
• Learn something. 
• Build something.

It's your life. Take charge and make something happen. And know that I'll be in your corner supporting you every step of the way.

And now, it's time for me decide what I'm going to do. Because life is happening right now and I need to get myself off the sidelines and back in the game.

Lesbian Day of Visibility 2020

Yesterday was the annual Lesbian Day of Visibility and, ironically, I had absolutely no idea and it wasn’t on my radar. So here’s a belated shout out to all of the strong, powerful and inspiring women in my life, in my Facebook circle, in my community, and in this world.

You were shoulder to shoulder with gay men in the early years of the fight for recognition. You carried us on your shoulders through the dark time of the AIDS plague. You led us all in the most recent battle for marriage equality. And you continue to rally, coordinate, and spearhead legislative and political efforts today.

I see you, my keyring clanging, lanyard wearing, clipboard toting, life changing warrior women. And I’m ever so grateful to be part of your tribe.

Calling All "American Patriots" - Stand Up Against the Covid-19 Hysteria!

I get it. I understand. You’re not one of the sheeple in this country. You see right through the media and you know this “virus” is just the media trying to undermine Trump’s economy to stop him from being re-elected. Sure, you don’t have any sort of medical degree, or a degree at all, really, but you know that Big Pharma is conspiring with BIll Gates and Dr Fauci to force us to take face vaccines that are actually tracking chips. And most importantly, you know that #SocialDistancing is communism and you don’t have to live like that because you’re a straight, white, Christian in America and the laws and community orders don’t apply to you.

Well, you’re in luck. I’m here to support you. Go outside, cluster in groups, and own the libtards. Gather with as many like-minded faux patriots as you can find and protest for hours. Stand shoulder to shoulder, take deep breaths, and remember, masks are for pussies.

But before you get out there, I’m going to need two quick things. One, I’d like you to sign this medical card confirming you will not seek any treatment for Covid-19 conditions. No doctor visit, no nursing care, no ventilator, no medication, and no ICU bed. Who cares, right? The virus isn’t any worse than the flu, remember? 

Also, I have a name tag to put on the military camo uniform you ordered from the internet or on the “America First” t-shirt that was made in China. It will help everyone else identity you even from a distance.

Okay, all set? Good. Now get out there and make a difference.
