And I've come to the place where I believe that there's no way to solve these problems these issues - there's nothing that we can do that will solve the problems that we have and keep the peace unless we solve it through God unless we solve it in being our highest self.

The politics of partisanship and the resulting inaction and excuses have paralyzed decision-making primarily at the federal level and the big issues of the day are not being addressed leaving our future in jeopardy.

It's funny how I use social media because I don't use it to promote my restaurants that much. I use it for social issues and I think that's what it's for. I do a few things - I mess around with music a lot because that's a passion of mine. If something strikes me and I want to share it I do.

If you're going through friendship issues I would say first of all take a step back. How important is the friendship to you? Sometimes if someone's not being a good friend to you and isn't treating you the way you should be treated then you kind of have to move on sometimes.
