Another weekend has come and gone yet again leaving myself quickly determining that I can't and sometimes don't won't to make the rounds of events and such. Not to mention after last weeks six day road trip which culminated with another special event before my crash and burn later in the week. Whew! Talk about time management and being an multi-tasking extraordinaire can get the best of almost anyone and certainly myself. However, as continue to "live my life out loud" as an advocate, activist, writer, executive producer and perceived all around go to guy among other hats that I choose to wear, I often find myself in the overload zone. Yet I subscribe to the notion that your passion drives you to "keep doing the thing that you love" as you do what you can to fulfill your destiny or legacy of your life. I encourage people around me to discover what their life force is suppose to represent or of what service they are to be to their fellowman and follow suit. Ultimately its that old adage that "we reap what we sow" position that will effect what we do with our lives and within that living how each of us affect other peoples lives. Being unselfish, being of service, staying open to acceptance of others, knowing your self worth and doing what you can from where ever you are in life can make a difference for some one. Remember that we must all find time to do our part in being apart of the paradigm of "each one to reach one."

Got some responses, replies, observations and objections, lets hear from you in our backtalk section. Thanks for staying on point with COP 24/7 and make sure that you are following us, opt- in email, subscribe or check in daily. Now let's get busy...

The organization sought to spotlight a variety of health concerns most notably the challenges of Lesbians within the health care framework. Furthermore, the magazine wanted to delve beyond the boundaries of HIV and AIDS which has evolved into an entire health industry onto itself. "It was our goal to offer this literary contribution as a "silence breaker" of the LGBTQ communities interaction with a complex health care system and the social determinants that affects navigating the course." Levi commented. Over the last few months the organization completed a statewide search for content, contributions and submissions from within the LGBTQ community and nontraditional advocates.The goal of the magazine is to help educate medical professionals and raising the health literacy in the LGBTQ community.
