The Painting and The Piano, by John Lipscomb and

Adrianne currently works at a recovery house and Johnny continues speaking, sponsoring and helping others in recovery.
Praise for The Painting and The Piano:
“Two adults overcome damaging childhoods and addictions to find
each other and rebuild their lives together in this affecting debut
memoir.” - Kirkus Reviews.
Eventually, destiny would bring Johnny and Adrianne together,
but first they had to endure the painful toll that alcohol,
drugs, and a negligent court system would take on them.
With parts of Adrianne’s story ripped from national news
headlines, their story takes them from the depths of despair
and near death, to their first serendipitous introduction and
the moment each knew they were finally safe.

lex, a Soul/R&B vocalist and actor is
no stranger to the entertainment
scene. Having started his entertainment career at the tender age of 7
years old, he toured throughout the
southeast region with his siblings.
Alex has a growing worldwide following due to
his #1 hit singles titled, “Hope For Us” and “Love
Line”, as well as his Top 20 Billboard success, “Don’t
Walk Away” with his brothers, A7, and his electrifying, soulful, engaging performances.
Alex’s polished lyrical styling and dynamic energy
is a breath of fresh air with a very earthy twist
that transcends multiple audiences everywhere
he performs; including two (2) of the Presidential
Inaugural Galas, Premier of Bermuda Gala, Premier
of Ireland Gala, as well as many other prestigious
galas, schools, colleges, corporate events, and festivals worldwide.

Most recently, Alex performed at the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Parade in NYC.
Alex has not only headlined his own shows, but
has graced stages with entertainers and actors,
such as Al Green, Bobby Rush, Eric Benet, John
Legend, Kirk Franklin, Lamman Rucker, Leon and
many others.
In addition to Alex’s music career, he started
his own music program for students, ACT: Arts
Conservatory for Teens. By creating ACT, Alex is
giving kids between the ages of 11-18 the opportunity to express themselves freely and encourage them to be creative while refining their artistic skills in a professional environment; a chance

ACT also serves as a support group between academic institutions and parents; ensuring that students are prepared to pursue higher education. It
has a 100% graduation rate, and a 100% college
placement rate.
Alex firmly believes in an artist’s social responsibility; the accountability of empowering local
communities through partnering with organizations that will support the cause. For Alex, it’s his
ACT program that provides the platform for that
social responsibility. He’s made it his duty to
empower the youth of socioeconomically challenged
communities worldwide.
“Please Come Home for Christmas, is one of my
favorite holiday tunes”, says Alex. “This holiday, I am
dedicating this song to the women and men who
often leave their homes and families to serve our
wonderful country. It is one of my ways of saying
thank you!”
Eventually, Alex plans to have more ACT’s; each in
a major city, throughout the U.S. and abroad.

It’s amazing to me to see how many untruths there are within
and surrounding the medical profession. Despite the rigors
of getting into medical school, its intense curriculum requirements and long training hours, people listen to TV and movie
personalities for advice or some muscle bound trainer who
barely got out of high school. Myths, incorrect ideology and
even downright corruptible advice to sell something is all
around us. For me, one of the biggest TRAGEDIES is running
and it almost snuggles up to Shakespeare.
1.
People run for many reasons but none
of them make any sense unless a lion is
in pursuit. Studies have reported that
power walking (get heart rate up) is just
as beneficial health wise as running but
won’t wear out your knees, hips or ankles in the process. So why
do people do it? A false sense of betterment, Pea-cocking, and
forget about those endorphins because these molecules have
been found to be too big to get into the central nervous system
so they don’t effect brain enjoyment.
running gear
2.
If you have any doubt about running and
people knowing what they are doing, let’s
look at running sneakers. First there was
the “minimalist” ones, to be followed by
the “maximalist”, to “FAT” soles, to “FLAT”
soles, to the “MIDSOLES” to God knows what’s next. Nobody
knows but everyone is an expert and mostly to sell you footwear.
For you runners out there, I’m sure you are running out of money
and closet space too because of all that footwear. The fact is,
there is no “real” running shoe because you’re “Running out of
Time”.

THE TRUTH
If you want maximum benefit from exercise, “DON’T RUN”.
Power walk to elevate your heart rate and maintain it there for a
total of 3 hours weekly. That’s called, “isometrics”. By the way, you
can break it up 20 minutes here, 30 minutes there, as long as it
adds up to 3 hours weekly. One more thing. It’s been shown that
excessive exercise, running, causes a free radicle avalanche in your
lungs that can lead to pulmonary fibrosis (scarred lungs) so if you
insist on running, make sure that you take a bushel of antioxidants
every day and get that oxygen tank ready! The next time you see

Beauty Tips for Christmas
Tips for looking your best on Christmas Eve!
make the skin look good and fresh. By the time Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve many people go out to parties or visit
with families. It is a time to be around others and to spread
joy. When going out on Christmas Eve a woman wants
to look her best. There are some tips to help a woman
look great for this special evening. She will be looking
as good on the outside as she is feeling on the inside.
Do Not Forget Sunscreen
When the temperature is cold and winter has arrived many people do not think that sunscreen is needed. This is a big mistake.
Just because a person is not spending hours outdoors does not
mean the rays of the sun do not reach them. Every time a person
is heading outside they need to apply sunscreen. This is important to do even on cloudy days. Sunscreen will help keep the
body protected and will also help keep the skin looking great.
Use Lip Color
In the winter lips tend to dry out. They can become cracked
which can be painful at times. Adding Chap Stick will help
hydrate the lips but often Chap Stick does not come in a color.
For Christmas Eve a lip shade with a little color is going to
be needed. To keep the lips hydrated while still looking good
select a lipstick that has moisturizing properties. Usually this
information can be found right on the package. Popular colors
for Christmas Eve include pinks, reds, and even a coral tone.
A little bit of lip gloss can also be applied for an extra shine.
Exfoliate
De-stress
comes around the woman will be looking her best at the party.
The holiday time can be very stressful. There is so much to do and
there is limited time to get it down. Also everything is very expensive which can put a big dent in finances. In order to stay looking
good for Christmas Eve it is important to handle this stress. There
are procedures that can help a person relax. A massage is a great
way to unwind. When a person is not feeling stress their skin will be
healthy looking and they will have a glow. When feeling the holiday
pressure take a minute and do something to help get rid of the stress.
Stay Hydrated
When a person goes out for the holidays including Christmas Eve they
may have an adult beverage or two. Or several. Alcohol dehydrates
the skin making it look tired and dull. A person needs to remember
to drink plenty of water. This will replenish the body and allow the
skin to stay healthy. Water is important for the glowing look as well.
A person should increase their water intake to help keep the skin
looking good especially if they know they are going to be celebrating.
Do Not Overdo It
As a woman is preparing for this night she may add additional
steps and products to her skin care routine. This is something
that should not be done. Adding additional products can irritate the skin and cause redness. She should stick with her usual
ways. It is also important to keep up with this routine. Around
the holidays there is so much to do that things often get overlooked. She should continue to clean her face and skin as normal.
Exfoliating the skin will help keep it looking fresh. When a person

why she was crying

her drawer would not

She tried to fix it on her own but was unable to and so she
