Welcome to a Mindful Monday in downtown Jamestown, New York on the beautiful Riverwalk.
In this video, I give an update on my book “Lone Star Rising “-the energy within me choosing love over fear. I also update Shawbucks construction project.
You can’t be happy all week. If you don’t start on Monday, should you choose to be happy life is choice. Happiness is your eternal compass, letting you know if you are on your path or if your path is being distorted by fear.
In this video I’m walking my dog updating my book “Lone Star Rising” the energy within me choosing love over fear. It’s now available on my website www.kurtbjohnson.com, on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Every Days’s True Value on foot Avenue Jamestown New York every day.
It’s available at Shawbucks after 4 PM. The copies sold here were printed locally at JRSC Digital. The main difference between these ones and the ones sold on Amazon is inside the cover there’s graphics of a MindfulEatery on the inside cover head and on the back inside cover there’s a picture of me taken in 1994 by Gunny Anderson in Myrtle Beach two months before I decided to lease out the old main event building from DJDC and build Shawbucks.
It’s funny how I go on motorcycle journeys to clear my head to ensure I’m making the right decision just like I did on my 1984 journey with Joe Cala it revolves around a motorcycle ride or journey.
Gunny took his first motorcycle ride from Charlotte, North Carolina to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on the back of this 93 Fat Boy- Harley Davison.
I was working in the carpenters union building 100 sets of concrete stairs on Forest Avenue and I was caught up and asked the superintendent if I could go for a motorcycle ride and clear my head he said yeah sure an hour later I was packed and drove up Forest Avenue waving goodbye to the crew on my way to Charlotte North Carolina to visit some friends.
My book “Lone Star Rising” has been out for a month. It’s hit number #1 best seller on Amazon new releases in the category of “chakras” which is unusual for a first time self publishing author. So you could say I’m an Amazon #1 best seller author. Take it with a grain of salt there’s a lot of categories though.😂.
I’m getting ready to jump back into construction on the MindfulEatery project at Shawbucks. I stopped construction last July, not only because of the heat, but because I knew my book was the foundation for this project and the MindfulMondays that I do.
Without this foundation, nobody could truly understand where the idea of an electrical universe was initiated through my Texas experience that life is like a battery the outgoing in return.
Hopefully this brings clarity for people. Quite often people say I don’t know exactly what you’re saying but I like the way you’re saying it.
That is a felt Field that we are tapping into an invisible language that words have yet to describe. For 40 years, I’ve been working on that language, and I believe through experiential philosophy, the energy within me and the analog binary language of Harmetics will pull all this together.
In this video, I also shared that Greg Peterson cofounder of the Robert H Jackson Center interviewed me about my book Lone Star Rising at the Robert H Jackson Center last Friday.
We also invited Dr Ralph Walton MD, author of double-blind to join us. Both Greg Peterson and Dr Ralph Walton wrote forwards to my book so I thought it would be fitting to have them in my first interview about my book.
This video will be uploaded to YouTube shortly so I look forward to sharing it with you guys! Dr. Walton was the psychiatrist that was running the Jones Hill mental health clinic when I was returned from Texas way over medicated.
Greg Peterson and I were having lunch February 2015 and he invited me to the Turner building in Chautauqua where he does interviews monthly throughout the winter. He told me he was interviewing a guy that was on 60 Minutes something about mindful eating because I’m always pitching the mindful eatery project to anybody that will listen and he said I should go up there.
So I did in about 15 minutes into the interview. I realized that the guy he was interviewing was Dr Ralph Walton MD the doctor I had seen for a short period of time when I first got back from Texas. I now realized I liked the guy because of his curiosity about human behavior. He was expressing during the interview.
We since became friends after the interview had lunch a few times after talking with Dr. Walton I realized that I truly had to finish my book and get this message out to the world about life being electric.
Every thought feeling and emotion is electric and life is choice because you get to choose how you charge that energy within you!
