The rare Afro-Latin Funkjoint "African Fever" by the Italian duo "The Tropicals" (Giancarlo Barigozzi and Oscar Rocchi) was released as a 7inch single in 1972. 

The rework is a collaboration between Dedy Dread (Lisbon) and SoulBrigada, which was already produced back in 2016 in Zurich | Switzerland. After a few years of maturation it's finally time to release this one. Enjoy it!

Mess it Up Show 179 - Putrescent

Do you need to be needed by someone, believing you’re the only one who understands them? “Let me help! Call anytime… I’m always here for you.” You over-volunteer to the point of making yourself feel small and insignificant, and believe it’s the only way to keep people in your life. There is a scorecard in your head as you wait for recognition or reciprocity that never comes. And at the same time, you resent them for only contacting you when they need something. You feel angry and used, yet you don’t see how you are contributing to this dynamic.

Believing you are the only one who can help, then cursing them for taking advantage of you, is not a peaceful way to live. In this week’s podcast we’ll look at why you say yes (what do you want in return?), and what it costs you. Giving with strings attached is an opportunity to look at your motivation. When you finally stop rescuing your partner, friend, etc., they will find others who are willing to step up. You can be there for them without sacrificing yourself. Generosity is giving because you want to, not because you have to. It’s a loving act that brings you peace, compassion and connection.

WISDOM NUGGET (#wisdomnugget)
Connection is what you deeply desire. Ask yourself before you commit: Can I connect authentically?

Can You Vibrate Now - Who is Mark Hedges

Attraction

1 Peter 2:9-10; Romans 12:9-16

God made us for relationship—not the shallow kind but those below the surface. God wants our connection with Him to be defined by love—He’s already done that and keeps doing that. God also wants our relationships with each other to be meaningful, deep, encouraging, and supporting—that is done by being all in with others.

Key Verse: You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. (Psalm 139:1-2)

Connect Deeply

We are your peas and carrots for recovery and beyond!

We are a gathering of imperfect people who have been and are being changed by the work of God in us. Most sermons in this podcast are preached by Pastor Paul Sausser, who is a lifelong learner, especially in the area of biblical literature and ancient biblical culture. He has a M.Div. degree from Calvin Theological Seminary and a D.Min. degree from Bethel Theological Seminary in St. Paul, and served at three other churches leading up to Discovery.

A lot of us live in our head, disconnected from our feelings and intuition. This podcast touches on releasing insecure attachment, accepting your authentic self and getting “unstuck” by connecting to how you FEEL instead of how you THINK. I’ve been there, and discuss sensitive subjects using my own experiences with a lot of laughs and even more empathy… because we’re all flawed humans.

Mark and Michelle Hedges have been married 27 years. For the first 19 years of the marriage, Mark was an undiagnosed autistic. In 2013 and for the next 6 years they went on the GAPS Diet and then the Medical Medium Diet to improve Michelle's health and heal Mark's autism. 

Now we are able to offer health readings through Michelle's pendulum. There are several options in different price points.

SoulBrigada was founded in 2009 by the german artists & musicians Alex D. and Fabio V. With this project they want to pull down stereotyped thinking and musical barriers and present a wide range of various music. As the name SoulBrigada associates Soulmusic is obligatory for them but they’re not limited to this genre – the main point is the SOUL in the music. Moving between Beats & Breaks, Global Grooves, Electronica, Disco & Rare Groove, the listener can always expect an exciting and versatile trip.

Over the years, they have been involved in many projects - regular club nights in Germany & Austria with illustrious international guest DJs, their own monthly radio show on the Swiss-based radio station GDS.FM or the organization of national record fairs in Germany and Austria. 

Numerous DJ sets on festivals, clubs & radio stations take them across Europe to spread that SoulBrigada vision: from Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria to Croatia, Bulgaria & Greece. 

This passion has also led to music production, which has accumulated a considerable number of releases over the years. It all started in 2011 when their first production, a remix of a song by the 'Gilles Peterson Havana Cultura Band' was officially released on a limited & exclusive vinyl EP. Further releases followed on KAT45, Matasuna Records, Légère Recordings, Resense and Samosa Records. More releases will see the light of day in the near future.

In summer 2016 the own label Matasuna Records was launched, which is specialized in reissuing rare music from all over the world, but also doesn't disregard great contemporary music. The label has built up an excellent reputation among music connoisseurs over the years, so that many of the vinyl releases are already sold out.

Eye am that eye am. The creator and the creation it self. Here lies the majestic world of expression. Peace and gratitude to all. One LOVE.

The current Team includes staff from Northwood University, Midland Kid’s First, the Midland County Inclusion Alliance, The Legacy Center for Community Success, Our Community Listens, the Midland Wellbeing Task Force, and several Employee Resource Group member from Dow; the intention is to expand this Team to include other like-minded groups in the region. The Project’s vision is to create a more connected, empathetic and inclusive community by listening to and learning from individuals whose stories are too often unheard.
 
The Project’s vision is to create opportunities for stories of diversity to be heard so that people can grow in connection and understanding of self and others. The impact will be to create a more inclusive mindset both as individuals and as a region.
