I did a FB Live Event with my son, Malcolm recently.
We spoke about the crisis he was going through 20 years ago.
And how that crisis led us on a deep spiritual journey that still inspires us today.
As you probably know, I wrote about my experiences with Malcolm in my book, Meditations Across The King’s River.
But this was the first time, audiences around the world got a chance to hear from Malcolm directly and could ask questions.
Here’s what we discussed:
1. How he went from being an aspiring thug to a successful businessman.
2. How our spiritual journey to Nigeria, West Africa in 2003 changed our lives.
3. How his crisis helped me discover my calling as an Ifa priest and diviner.
4. How he stays spiritually and emotionally grounded during these challenging times.
5. How a message from my deceased grandmother helped us.
I was glad I had that public conversation with Malcolm for many reasons.
It deepened my appreciation for the Yoruba spiritual tradition, and my elders in Nigeria who gave me hope at a time when things in my family seemed bleak 20 years ago.
Here’s the thing, Shirley, we all experience some kind of crisis at one point or another. That’s life.
But what if the challenges you’re going through turns out to be a huge blessing that changes your life forever?
And what if the wisdom you gain from your crisis impacts people all over the world? This is what happened for me and my son.
Our crisis eventually set us free. Is it fulfilling? Yes! Was it easy? Hell No!
Miracles happen, Shirley, and a miracle can happen for you. I know this from my own experience as well as from the testimonies of others.
Do not give up hope, and do not lose focus.
Dig deep, call on the Higher Power, and keep it moving. People will come in your life and people will go, but promise yourself you will keep it pushing.
This is all for now. Please know you have my support in all you do.
Here’s the link to my interview with Malcolm once again: Interview with Malcolm.
Would love to hear from you. Feel free to respond and I will write back as soon as possible.
Blessings
