Everyday, even in the midst of a historic blizzard, is the BEST day of your life. Today, is the only day that we will ever be ALIVE in.
Just read where there were 30,000 deaths in our country last year by gun violence, and two-thirds of those tragic deaths were acts of suicide.
Obviously, even in the midst of living in the BEST nation in the world, we are not having healthy conversations with ourselves about ourselves. Everyday that I wake up, I tell myself, “I’m Here” and “This is the BEST day of my life!”. We have to bring a “Birthday” spirit to each day because everyday is an opportunity to be reborn anew. Just my thoughts!

My name is Halim Flowers and I am an author, poet, blogger(CriminalU.co), and at-risk youth advocate. I have been incarcerated for 18 years, since I was 16 years of age for aiding and abetting a felony murder in a case where I was not the shooter and the person charged as the gunman had his case dismissed and was never tried for this offense. I know it sounds crazy but it is my destiny for now and I embrace. My passion in life is learning and helping to enlighten and inspire others, especially helping to develop the character and lives of young men. I was featured in an Emmy award winning documentary about my experiences as a child at the adult D.C. Jail titled "Thug Life In DC"(See Thug Life In DC at YouTube) and I have authored nine books in the genres of self-help, prisoner reform, juvenile justice, memoir, and poetry(See Halim Flowers at Amazon.com). I very contrite for my past criminal offenses and seriously committed to helping our youth to understand "Victim's Impact" and breaking the "school-to-prison pipeline".
