Lies Between Us - Roger Ray Bird
At the foundational floor of my core oracle is truth. I have lived to learn only by way of truth do I truly live. Sharing the learned truths of life, I attempt to help us all...all my sisters, all my brothers. My need to help arose after watching my mother try to survive as a homeless mentally incapacitated bag lady on the streets of Baltimore. I try...I try to share, I try to be authentic, and I try to help everyone without imposing assumptions, judgments, or blame upon them. I try to help those who cannot help themselves, those just like my mother. As a former junkie, high school dropout, professional athlete, and global corporate business executive, I've seen a thing or three. This is not about me, this is about us.

Episode #32 The 8 Disciplines of Great Listening
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I don't know anyone who doesn't aspire to become a better listener.
For over a decade I experimented, endeavored, and endured great efforts to actively hear people correctly. It was much harder than I ever anticipated.
Then I wrote it down.
Then I published it in a book.
Now I read it out loud so we can all perhaps benefit.
Please leave me a note on one of my social media channels at RogerRayBird and let me know what you have found to be valuable for you as a world-class listener.
Look for my books on Amazon.
1. My memoir LIES BETWEEN US
2. The addict book "DADDY, WHY WERE YOU A DRUG ADDICT?"
Both by Roger Ray Bird
The word "addict" is horribly stigmatized, therefore the book will likely not initially show up in your search. Query for the full name Roger Ray Bird, or search for the addict book by its ISBN number: 979-8218286651
