ON DAYS LIKE TODAY, YOU NEED THIS…

Click here to check out the preview of my latest release!

This week only 10% off Sun April 22-Fri April 27

Most times, it’s the words least expected, words from complete strangers…words found in the strangest of places that get our attention and pull us through the rough times. You’ll find yourself clutching this book often-flipping through pages, memorizing and reciting lines that will comfort you in the time of need.

NOTE: I appreciate all your love and support.

IN HONOR OF EARTH DAY, I have entered my book into the LULU EARTH DAY CONTEST. A tree will be planted for each contest entry through Eco-Libris.

In my giving back to the Earth for all she has given me, no book will be printed until it has been bought and paid for to ensure no waste in materials. Sales for my latest release will be tracked until April 25th to support such efforts. JOIN ME in giving back!

15% percent of every book sold goes back into my foundation: THE DR. RICHARD T. SPEAKES Foundation-a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS by providing Creative and Living grants. Your purchase really means a lot to me!

We wanna get F***D UP TOO!

Multi-award-winning Poet, Author and Life Coach, D’elve Je Veux III, announces  the launching of his new online home: www.WELIVEHIGH.COM.  Official release to the public: November 1st, 2011.

Last week, I had the most amazing opportunity to sit down with “THE SPIRIT” himself, D’elve Je Veux III, to get the inside scoop on his new online home: www.WeLiveHigh.com, due to launch November 1st, 2011. 

What is www.WeLiveHigh.com?

WeLiveHigh.com is a celebration of individuality…all the things that make you-YOU! A coming together of individuals, from all walks of life, with one common longing- TO BE LOVED, JUST THE WAY WE ARE!  WeLiveHigh.com is a platform to reclaim the joy and the power in just being DIFFERENT…to gain confidence in the understanding, that it’s ok-TO BE YOU!

What makes this site so special to you?

“Well, I have put a lot of ME into this site, the good -the bad and the “How I got ova’s.” I deeply believe, that we overcome by the words of testimonies and by taking just a moment  to share those little things we call mistakes, I have found that in them, there is life, there is healing in the lessons learned.


What are your hopes for WeLiveHigh.com?
My hope is simply this: That boys and girls, men and women will finally be able to walk with their head held high! No longer ashamed of who they are or what they’ve been through. My hope is that in some way, some how, something from this site will grab their attention and make them reflect inwardly, long enough to plant what they have read…to GROW and BECOME SOMETHING MORE! I want people to finally GET IT, and understand that normalcy doesn’t enable the living to live, it only provides enough existence to breathe. 

WOW! I really love that last line, that was deep D’elve.  Your words come from such a surreal place. How did someone so young, gain so much wisdom?

(LOL) Life, in and of itself has been my greatest teacher. Life is kind, gracious and plentiful in its patience for me to get things right. I don’t complain, nor find myself asking the “Lord why” questions.(lol) I really allow myself to just wade through the experiences, to dig deep within the mine of circumstance…and anchor into the understanding. What looks to be nothing more than a rock covered in dirt to most, is but gold to my learning and becoming who I need to be-for me, for you, for the world. 

Amazing man. WeLiveHigh.com hasn’t even launched yet and I’m already HIGH! (LOL) Where did you come up with the name and why?

 (LOL) Well then, I would have to say that I have served purpose well,  because that is the exact impact I would love make on the lives of the people that visit my site. It hurts to see the happiness of our young people dependent upon a drug. I want to give them another alternative-another example. I want them to be able to see pass the smoke and view the world clearly. Weed provides only the illusion, WeLiveHigh.com provides the reality- that LIFE is INTOXICATING, JUST THE WAY IT IS! This site is designed to help us find creative and more useful ways to handle circumstance.

I applaud you D’elve, we need more people like you in the world. I appreciate what you have done for your community and for using your life as a true example for us all. In closing, is there anything else you would like people to know about WeLiveHigh.com?

I appreciate you , for all your love and support. I go through to pull through, that is my earthly objective. I just want people to “be at home” with the site and the only way to do that, is wanting to become one with yourself. Spread the word, visit daily, join in the community and its activities. We have so many fun and exciting things planned that will truly challenge you to become the HIGHEST you! It’s now time to stop talking about “being real” and JUST BE REAL.

Well put, D’elve. Well, put.  I must say, I am truly excited about WeLiveHigh.com. I can’t wait to learn more about myself, participate in some of the group challenges and just be able to fellowship, hear stories, share stories… and become community, again.

Oh Taste and see.

Come child, 

put your hands into this bowl of hope

rub your fingers around the edges of optimism 

taste and eat these words of ” I shalls” 

let them run from your lips like honey 

fall upon your heart

anoint your hands 

and oil your feet-so you can move…again!

Move from here and leave this dreadful place of “what if’s”

Free your mind from this fence and barbed wire.

Come, stick the tips off your toes

into this bowl of hope

Go on, test the waters

See that it is good and jump head long into the understanding

of what you are…

whom you are…

that you are…

what you shall…

and what you will…

BECOME!
