Kathy, Thanks for reading this piece and yes, many people live on the streets because of extraneous circumstances beyond their control. We must stay positive and reach beyond the "broken door."

Hi Ricky, I just called, but I guess you were out. I miss it too. But you should have my number now. I left you a silly comment on my comment wall like a goof. So, I'll talk to you soon.

Hi Ricky J. Fico,

I am back in touch again and it feels good. I was without the internet for awhile during the transition stage of moving house. I left a comment for you on the other ss site which sort of fills you in about my absence, and I also left some thought provoking words on your blog The Gallery. Look forward to hearing from you.

Tell Us A Little About Yourself
I am an inspirational writer and creative mind who has a passion for doing what I can to affect a positive change in this world. I have a simple philosophy: "I cannot cure the ills of the world but I will do all that I can to not contribute to them." I pass this philosophy to you and I ask you to pass it on to others. Each one of us is a link-agent of change, and the more links the greater the positive chain of events....
What Music Do You Like?
Orgasmic orchestral, ballads, blues, classical rock, some hip-hop, old school and Motown, some country, music that stirs my soul, rocks my world. Led Zeppelin had a very early influence on me as did Pink Floyd, The Scorpions, The Beatles, Elvis.... Today I listen to all types of music. I like Linkin' Park, well, many of their songs and this list goes on and on but now I better go and listen to some music and perhaps do the two step... Or three step.
What are your creative outlets and/or aspirations?
My Legacy will be: "Ricky J. Fico's pen pointed in the direction of the strongest wind while his compass pointed in the direction of serenity and world harmony!
What or Who are your greatest inspirations?
My sister Trish, My Aunt Dorothy

"Ricky's Teaser Tees and Inspirational Things"




Poodwaddle.com Insights -A Brief Introduction: THE GOLDEN RENAISSANCE Marsilio Ficino (Latin name: Marsilius Ficinus; Figline Valdarno, October 19, 1433 - Careggi, October 1, 1499) was one of the most influential humanist philosophers of the early Italian Renaissance, an astrologer, a reviver of Neoplatonism who was in touch with every major academic thinker and writer of his day, and the first translator of Plato's complete extant works into Latin। His Florentine Academy, an attempt to revive Plato's school, had enormous influence on the direction and tenor of the Italian Renaissance and the development of European philosophy.
Now, in part, through transcendence and clarity, a revival of such time and magnificence is happening and I, Ricky J. Fico had been summoned to deliver upon a promise...one that seemingly I made a long time ago.

I haven't much in formal education but what I do have is much more valuable. And part of this knowledge and understanding that I had promised to impart to you can only be made possible if you, and let me stress this emphatically, share with me your knowledge and understanding as I am still a mere student. I've a simple quote I wrote not so long ago: "A Greedy mind is to learn, yet not teach and A Lazy mind is to yearn, yet not reach." I think you understand what I am saying. Oh, and this quote is inscribed nicely upon my inspirational gifts: Power of Mind

As the days progress brightly into the nearer horizons of the "Golden Renaissance" you will, in large measure, be more resourceful, more tranquil, more successful...oh, I know it, I always knew this simple fact....

Although, to a certain degree, our very nature stems from a past most often hidden, our present embodiment is guided in part, by that past but to a larger degree by circumstances that are more evident, more temporal. And it is with this thought of mine, that I will attempt to synthesize these two elements. In other words, what I will utilize in my journey forward are the lessons from the past with the lessons of today... For those who believe in the concepts of the eternal soul, synchronicity, even reincarnation, you will have a clearer understanding to much of what I will be relating here as much as I will have a greater understanding of what you, in turn, hopefully reveal or relate to me....

A Return To The Rightful Path!

I had embarked on a journey, albeit a renewed journey. My eternal quest, once interrupted, had resumed and for this, I thank God. He had never given up on me, though from the outside, it may have appeared otherwise. Yes, I had been, only temporarily, in the clutches of Satan. He tried to win me over, and though, at times, I played along to his rules, I truly knew deep down that I would return to the rightful path.

For many a day and many a night, in the recent past, I had succumbed to the whims… Continue

The H.E.L.P. Establishment Is Born

Being homeless since March of 2009, I had been provided with greater insight concerning the needs of both the homeless and the communities in which help support us.

The idea of The H.E.L.P. (HOMELESS EMPOWERED to LIVE PRODUCTIVELY) Establishment was born not only out of necessity but also by a profound desire to contribute to the communities in which we (the homeless) often dwell.

I believe that the H.E.L.P. Establishment will benefit greatly not only us-- the homeless and… Continue

Maternity Leaves (A Dedication)




Thanksgiving Day - for me, a day of mixed emotions - a day to be grateful and a day to regret. Like many of us I am most grateful for the many blessings bestowed upon me - far too many to adequately list or categorize.

Firstly, I am thankful for life - the starting point for… Continue

Barack Obama, This Country, A Few Thoughts, and My Union Address!



For various reasons, I try to refrain from involving myself in politics or debate, I tend to look in from the outside and not cast too far an opinion on the matters of state. I often stay behind the scenes but sometimes I am compelled to enter the arena.

A simple philosophy of m… Continue

In My Life - Testament!



In my life I had witnessed so much, and at times, perhaps not enough. Sometimes what I witnessed compelled me to stand taller than I would otherwise; other times, unfortunately, I had but no choice than to take refuge in some god-forsaken trench, cowering to the whims… Continue

Monumental Lives For Monumental Change: ....Join Us!

We Making The Difference!" The Steps Toward A Better World Begin With The Steps Taken To Better Oneself! "A foundation is but the base and it is the collection of building blocks that creates what many should strive to ascend."


Living a monumental life doesn't necessarily mean possession of a large financial fortune or living in the spotlight of public adoration and fame. What I think it means is that you act in accordance with your own identity while acting in ways that are positive and conducive to happiness, serenity and harmony. What I think it means is that you generate positive energies and in turn, your positive energies have a positive effect on others. Linkin' Monuments-- a positive chain of energy! Read More>>>

The Thirteen Reasons

1.) You are as important as the next person
2.) Your contributions to this world are as monumental as the next person
3.)You believe in yourself because you know you "can"
4.)You believe in your neighbors because you know they "can"
5.)No matter how difficult it may seem, you are not alone.
6.)You deserve as much respect as does the next person
7.)Don't wonder so much what your life might have been but put into action what you want your life to become.
8.)You matter because we all matter.
9.)Enough failures will lead to success once you succeed in failing to give up.
10.)This world has so much to offer and you have so much more to offer it.
11.)You have many talents and abilities...a few which may have yet to be uncovered.
12.)The treasures you may seek are near enough the heart that it wouldn't take more than a heartbeat to uncover the most precious gems of all.
13.)You are here because you belong!

Welcome!

The Three Conditions

1.)This network is for one and for all...No matter what color, what creed or belief, what political affiliation you subscribe or what candidate you endorse this network is open to you.
2.)As in any community each one of us has our own unique personalities, traits, belief systems, talents and as long as any of these elements are not breaches against the prosperity of the community then they should be allowed, accepted and honored. Community is about diversity. This is a Community
3.)It is my greatest hope that we learn from each other. Each one of us has so much to offer. No one here is better or smarter or more talented than the next person. Each one of us has our strengths; each one of us has our weaknesses. Your strength in one area is of great benefit to my weakness in that same area. A simple philosophy of mine: "A greedy mine is to learn, yet not teach & A lazy mind is to yearn, yet not reach" Let us not be greedy, let us not be lazy.
