Kevin Owens- President of From Brock Haney With Love Inc. Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

A letter from Kevin- I am grateful for my friendship with the Haney Family. I am also grateful for the friendship and opportunity to sponsor Brock for almost four years. He truly was a special person in my life. His sudden loss was heartbreaking and devastating to many in our LGBTQ+ community. He was not the first loss, and many have been lost since. The recovery world in the LGBTQ+ community is full of wonderful stories of success, but on the other side of the coin are heartbreaking stories of struggle, shame, inequality, abuse, loneliness and death. This is what the From Brock Haney With Love Inc. does. We give hope in our community to those who think they are hopeless. We reach out to those who have little or think no one cares. We give dignity to those who feel they are not lovable. As members of LGBTQ+ we are a minority. Within the LGBTQ+ community the numbers in active recovery or seeking recovery is a relatively small percentage. From the start we are working with a small group of individuals who are spiritually, physically and financially depleted. Securing funds without creating donor fatigue is a real challenge. The great fact is we depend on the compassion and generosity of people, businesses and foundations to help us help others. Why is there a need for a LGBTQ+ recovery assistance? Alcohol and drug addiction is a baffling and insidious disease. It takes much more than will power alone to stay sober. To understand alcohol and drug addiction one must first realize that drugs and alcohol are only a symptom. Many issues need to be addressed. More often than not in the LGBTQ+ community sexuality is an issue including but not limited to shame, guilt remorse and denial. Being able to share these issues in an understanding and accepting environment is paramount. Being sober is a start. Learning to live sober is a lifelong commitment. For many in the LGBTQ+ recovery community drugs and alcohol became part of a vicious life style. Being able to live, work and socialize within our community and as importantly in the community at large is a critical component for success. The From Brock Haney With Love Inc. offers many opportunities for service work and social sober activities. Getting a strong and comfortable foundation is something the From Brock Haney With Love Inc. provides. It can be scary and lonesome in recovery as a LGBTQ+ person. The From Brock Haney With Love Inc. reinforces that we are not alone and we are not unique. We are on the front line. It is not always pretty. People die. People relapse. The stories of hate and discrimination break your heart. But we work even harder. This is a chance to give to people that need it the most. This is a chance to break the cycle of hate; a chance to potentially save a life. Bobby, Jim and I are committed to this mission and are committed to doing this in the name of Brock Haney. Will you join us and make a donation? Any amount great or small will have IMPACT. Best regards, Kevin Owens President From Brock Haney With Love Inc.

DANIEL ERICKS - SINGER/SONGWRITER/ACTOR Apr 17, 2021

Show notes

Florida born singer-songwriter turned Nashville recording artist, Daniel Ericks has a uniquely appealing style and vibe. Daniel is able to take our favorite songs and re-interpret them through his own point of view. It's a difficult task to keep things familiar enough while hoping to revitalize long lost affection for some forgotten favorite tunes and Daniel does not disappoint. Furthermore, his skill as a diverse songwriter is exemplified in original songs like the cheerfully funky ditty, "Good Love" about a serendipitous love affair and the heartbreaking ballad, "When We Lived Here" about taking a drive down memory lane to realize that there's no going back to what no longer is. "Just Live" was written days after the death of Daniel's grandfather and serves as a message to himself from beyond that there is nothing you owe to the universe except to live your life as you see fit, so stop worrying and just live.

Daniel Ericks is also a talented voice actor, able to imitate a wide variety of celebrity and cartoons character voices as well as create a few characters of his own. Not only does he act with his voice, but he's even appeared as an extra in the hit TV series Nashville.

Check out Daniel's project Spechlis with the unbelievably talented Sheyenne Rivers. The pair make an incredible team not only as talented songwriters, but also as gifted singers delivering numerous captivating performances together.

M.K. MCDANIEL'S #1 Best-Selling Author MISFIT IN HELL TO HEAVEN EXPAT Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

Placed on a ventilator for lung failure caused by a virulent flu in 1999, First-Time Author M.K. McDaniel fought for her life in a drug-induced coma for three weeks. During this time, she found herself in an inexplicably dangerous, foreign realm.

Misfit In Hell To Heaven Expat is a memoir of M. K.’s tumultuous life before, during, and after her Dark Near-Death Experience. The effects of the NDE caused to her to question her understanding of everything she thought to be factual and irrefutable. As a disappointed Heaven Expat, M.K. continued to struggle to find her place and purpose during the remainder of her Earthly life.

During her lengthy recovery, as M.K. reflected on the purpose of her experiences in the Afterlife, she recalled the tribulations of her family ancestors and their courage to survive. If they could overcome their overwhelming obstacles, then so could she.

As memories of former earthly hellish traumas surfaced and seemed to parallel her actual Hell experiences, M.K. sought out others with the same story. She eventually found solace, hope, and understanding at International Association of Near-Death Studies meetings in Seattle.

Uplifting, humorous, chilling, and engrossing, Misfit In Hell To Heaven Expat takes the reader by the hand to safely explore our human and otherworldly selves. Its gentle message will help the reader find their way along the bumpy, earthly road to eternity.
