CTN PODCAST, Changing the narrative


A podcast born out of an all too familiar frustration; navigating life as an aspiring creative. How do you pay the bills? How do you grow? How did you get anywhere in this city? Well, Duane Jones, Terrence Taylor, and Pete Hemsworth are set to give you a raw, unfiltered look at their journey. The trio’s new podcast, Changing the Narrative (CTN) seeks to shine a light on life as a creative and provide an open forum for conversation about various topics through their eyes.
This is episode 13 and today is Feb28th Pink Shirt Day and having this day is important, and for one day we can wear pink apparel to stand up against bullies, but bullies are people too right? How did they become bullies? Why and when did they become bullies? Is it stress from family home life? Are their parents struggling with an illness or addiction? Are the children being neglected? Are the parents working hard to survive and pay the bills so they don't have time to be parents? Are parents irresponsible?
How about the adults and seniors being bullied do they ask for it? Why is this dominant behavior so prevalent nowadays? 
We dislike social media, but we crave it too. Is the social network media the issue? Are we just saying anything unkind because nobody sees who we are? Nobody feels accountable because nobody knows who you are? What about those people who are blatantly rude? Do we just continually forgive your actions?  
We think its great that every news report is about people, women speaking out and talking about things that are so uncomfortable but we feel justified when we see the perpetrators questioned with their heinous acts. 
This is an age where you can find solace, comfort, love, and support from your community. When speaking out is ok. Our parents were so old-fashioned that everything was about their reputation and the status must be protected. Now when you are victimized, taken advantage off and mistreated it's no longer taboo, its ok to speak up, stand up and take care of yourself.
If you or someone you know is getting bullied tell someone contact:

Photo was taken by  +Krista Corcoran This photo was given to us by our good friend for Christmas a few years back. But do you see that they are children and innocent in the ways of the world?  They are sweet loving children even our dog is terrific, and I am not just saying that because they are mine. They don't belong to me but they belong to themselves, I always say they belong to me, but really they are not things to be owned. They are my heart and my everything. A few years after this photo is now my daughter attending a different school in the new institution we call junior high. My husband and I are away for our trip to celebrate our 19 years of being together as a couple. We arrive from our trip in the middle of the night, and the children happen to be staying with our family. I sneak in beside my daughter and fall asleep beside her, and within a few minutes of snuggling close to her, I notice she is shivering. Sounds came out of her that I had never heard before, not e

so about our Bikini Line..."Khongboon Swimwear"

  This is my favorite! I love the exotic designs and the colors are very vibrant. When you are travelling to warm destinations everyone sports a new bikini and I for one, am always looking at the beautiful women on the beach.  Women who sport their bikini no matter what size, age and color they are. These women always seem to exude confidence, I never had. I once met a lady years ago, in Hawaii in her 60's, who took yoga lessons on the beach with me and she wore her bikini well, (it did not wear her). I just remembered thinking why can't I be like her ? The way she spoke and posture like she was a ballet dancer, she was incredible! Then I realized that she had what I did not possess, beauty from the inside that oozed out of her. She was not particularly attractive like Sophia Loren but she had a lot of sex appeal. She had strength and her beauty was from within. Smiling and laughing like a flirting school girl, she made me blush and I was sold. I wanted to be this lady! I wa

Am I too sensitive? Aren't You?

Am I too sensitive? Yes, I do take things personally for example when a person calls you fat to your face or when they laugh, and gossip behind your back and you find out about it, are you telling me you are not offended? Hurt perhaps? That is complete baloney! You hear that you have too much time on your hands and that you always need attention? I have never met anyone that didn't want or need to be noticed, but I hang out with entrepreneurs and artists, so we need to be seen, or the business doesn't work. Also most people I meet come from dysfunctional families, oh and every one of us came from one, whether we like to admit to it or not. I try to incorporate kindness, mindfulness also integrity in everything I do. I am not the type of person who cheats and steals when I know the person needs my help, I am usually the first person to encourage and get people together. I hate drama, but I love it too! As Filipinos, we love our teleserya, and telenovelas (TV Dramas) What is
