Soul Bro

It’s not the latest in Soul Food cuisine nor the newest reality show on the BET, it’s the way I see the relationship between my older brother, Johnny, and I. Tomorrow, April 10th, my Bro’ is turning 50. Happy Birthday!

And though we haven’t had the closest of relationships, meaning we can go for weeks or months without talking, I admire him greatly, more than he can imagine. There’s no other person in the world that has challenged me the way he has; he’s helped me see life from a different perspective. I love it that when we’re together, we can sit quietly or talk for hours on end. Oftentimes, when I’ve had what I believe to be a clear understanding on something, he throws in a ‘soul wrench’, a new idea or thought that makes me see life differently. I love this about him.

It was during my high school years that he introduced to books on spirituality and self help. At an early age I was already reading books by Louise Hays, Shakti Gawain, and Tony Robbins. These writers helped shape my thoughts and ideas. Thank You Bro!

In a few weeks my siblings, in-laws and I are leaving to Tulum, Mexico. I’m looking forward to a little belated birthday celebration and some down time. The piece here is titled, “The Sencions.” I love my family immensely! My little sister Moni once said, “If we hadn’t been born siblings, we would have met during our lifetime.” This is exactly how I feel toward each of them. We are more than just siblings; we are soul mates.

Los Quiero Mucho. Salud!
