How I Feel Affects Other People

“Reject” implies the power of choice has been taken out of your hands. The Bible excerpts, “A man who findith a wife, findith a good thing.” Ladies, accept that you are the catch, and make your choice.


The opening statement in my book, Do You Have Any Idea… How Fine You Are?, reads as follows:


Mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, friends... you are the object of countless secret admirers, and worthy of that praise. This title poem should remind you of the awe in which you are held. Enjoy the complimentary looks and comments given in good taste. Your "thank you" will not always be hounded by wolverines. But your smile will always be appreciated.

And, what I encourage you to do is reread the last stanza. For that is the key. Inner beauty is the essence of outer beauty. Life is about passion. Be passionate about someone or something... and let it be known.

We must all realize that we are always on display. Somebody is checking you out, don't fool yourself. Instead, feel good about yourself and let it show…

How I Feel Affects Other People

“These kids of today” … are KIDS, today.

I don’t treat them like grownups. I model how to be one. And several of them who have been around since my generation has been using this terminology on them, are now my friends on Facebook. They call me mentor, friend, teacher, role model… on the phone. I value each and every one of them, look forward to hearing from them, and check up on them when I don’t.

They are in high school, college, jobs and careers. And in my heart, and with all due respect, they are still my kids!

I love my K.I.D.S.

... How I Feel Affects Other People.

Leaving is easy for me.
Not because I don’t care, but because I do.
My spirit is free and freely used to foster God’s will.
Remember, God doesn’t ask if we think
we’ll like his next move with us.
He just tells us what it is. I hear him clearly,
so don’t get attached to my life (meaning where I am).

It’s part of what I speak about. ~www.sportyking.com


Where are you in His will?

... How I Feel Affects Other People.

Today begins my Golden Year:
55 Born in ’55

Enjoying life is pretty much my favorite pastime.
I don’t spend time denying or hiding my age
because I’ve worked hard to get here.
And I can’t think of giving a single day back.
Changing the circumstances of any past day
takes away from your legacy.



So I celebrate with my favorite food: edible…
my favorite drink: liquid…
my favorite beer: cold…
my favorite day: TO…
and my favorite night: TO.

And I celebrate with your eyes, smiles and spirit.

How I Feel Affects Other People!

Being resourceful has not hindered me, but made me look forward to backing up to the wall. It has strengthened me to know that there is a wall and that I can keep fighting without worrying about being pushed off a cliff. Turning around to look for the cliff creates fear through expressing a time limit and boundary. I have time and guidelines to live for.

People ‘say’ you have no guarantee of tomorrow, yet constantly build upon today for tomorrow. I don’t ‘build’ upon today. I ‘use up’ today or take it to its highest height. When I fall it will be such a long flight to the bottom I’ll have time to learn to fly.

I guess that’s what being an angel is all about.

You Are GOOD

When we don't take the time to express how good we are, we sometimes lose the opportunity to be as good as we are. ~Sporty King

SOMETIMES I WISH I WERE LUCKY


Sometimes I wish I were lucky
Instead of just so . . . good.
If I could just be lucky
I might share my luck
No (in fact) I know I would.

Some people say that I'm lucky
I correct and remind them that I'm blessed
I'm spiritual, fortunate, in tune with myself
Nothing outweighs my thirst for happiness

You see luck, itself, doesn't last
It supplies a glimmer of hope or chance
Luck forces you to take risks
Being blessed allows you to take a stand

Luck can give you that "On top of the world" feeling
That instant fix of elation
Being fortunate keeps you "on top of the world"
And allows you to enjoy the sensation.

Spirituality is such a popular thing now
But it means much more than meets the eye
If you get lucky enough to get spiritual
Hold on, don't let that spirit die

If you get lucky enough to find yourself
Enjoy the challenge of introspection
Realize its value toward your growth

Understand that you're supposed to have success
Your purpose is ordained
You must choose to lead a prosperous life
You must make sunshine out of rain

But, I must admit
Sometimes I wish I were lucky
Instead of just so . . . good
But would I stand out from the rest?

If you're lucky
you can be in good company
If you're blessed you can be with the best

Are you focusing on the Bottom Line?
Wondering why he didn’t finish this… or how she couldn’t do that…
or what will happen if we can’t because they won’t since most people don’t…?
