You Can’t Stop This Dancer!: The power of kindness

I believe in the power of kindness. We've all heard and read that ''you should do onto others as you would have them do unto you''. We all in some way try to practice this but we're not perfect and sometimes forget this practice. Though, when it happens, meaning you do good deeds expecting nothing in return, the universe sees this. The big guy upstairs sees this, and trust me, they're all taking notice. They're putting all you do in a memory vault because should the time arise that you are in need of help from others... .before you know it, you're getting pools of help from some of the most wonderful and amazing people.

There was a benefit put together while I was still in the hospital, to help me and my family out. The entire event was put together by a team of friends, family and complete strangers because they just wanted to help. Talk about feeling grateful.

At this benefit there were a series of talented bands and musicians who got up and played especially for the occasion. The headliner fr this benefit was the one and only , Bobby Rush.

If your unfamiliar with Bobby Rush, something is wrong. Kidding. Bobby Rush is one of the coolest cats in blues. Look him up, you'll see http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Rush_(musician). Bobby Rush was suppose to be playing another gig the same night as my benefit and passed it up. The gig from what I heard was not only pretty big but was also paying very handsomely. Yet, he turned it down to help me out. Just because, he's that kind of guy. Kind

Today, I was shooting a music video he was doing. We were able to reunite almost 5 years later. The guy was awesome then, and hasn't changed since. Love it.

So the moral is, be yourself, treat others the way you'd like to be treated, know that a kind heart goes a long way, and always do onto others expecting nothing in return other then you did what you did because you wanted to . Just knowing you helped someone is the biggest reward....
