The Mind of KLH

The Slug and Me

So I’m on the job, bringing something out to my truck, and for whatever reason I notice something on the ground. My first thought was that it was a slug, but then I thought that thing was too big to be a slug…it must be a twig…and that was that…or so I thought. I go [...]

Free At Last?

On this day, I am one of many who will reflect, talk, meditate on, or write about one of our greatest citizens, Martin Luther King. Born January 15, 1929, educated in our nations colleges, and polished to a razor sharp edge in violently protested peace marches and dirty jail cells. MLK was a man with [...]

2012 The End Of The World As We Know It

Happy New Year to you all! This is a time when so many of us reflect on the year past and anticipate the year ahead. This past year has seen a lot of things happen. The rise of the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movements. Presidential campaigns are in full swing. Babies were [...]

If You Believe

It’s so easy to get overwhelmed in these uncertain times. Record high unemployment, soaring health-care costs, oppressive gas prices, political discord, and scandal on The X-Factor… What are we supposed to do? At the end of the day I think we all desire pretty much the same thing. We want good health, financial security, love, and [...]

Save Our Kids

So once again another young black man has been killed. I know some of his family, I didn’t know him…but that doesn’t matter. Apparently this young man was loved, I draw that conclusion from the outpouring of support and expressions of deep affection I saw on Facebook. I saw pictures of a handsome young man with [...]

90 Days Later

So here we are, 90 Days Later. I set some goals, designed to change my life. I purposely wanted to make a public declaration of my “90 Challenge” because that’s what I do for one…and the reason is I want to have accountability in my life. Making goals or at least the intention of achieving [...]

So…I’ve been thinking

Yes…I’ve been thinking…I do that a lot. Lately I’ve been thinking some negative thoughts, thoughts that I know don’t serve me well. I am fully aware of the power of our thoughts, but when I am just thinking those thoughts, without being aware, it’s very easy to get carried away…to a very bad place. (If you [...]

That’s Just My Baby Daddy

I remember a time when the term ‘baby daddy’ didn’t exist…I know that dates me but that’s OK. Back then the term for my ’baby’s daddy’ was husband, but times have changed. I heard a startling statistic on the radio today, it said that 50% of black women have a child out of wedlock before they are [...]

A Wonderful Life

So…I’m on a job, and I ask the home owner what he did for a living. He told me he worked for and retired from IBM. He then volunteered this statement that really struck me, he said “We’ve had a wonderful life…my wife, our kids, three cats…we’ve really been lucky.” As simple as that statement [...]

The Challenge – Day 14

So I’ve been really unhappy with where I am in life. I have felt not so good for a while now. I have always wanted more for myself and I have always had something going to put myself in a better place. However, here I am still unhappy, and still not where I want to [...]
