Looking for Michael Jackson Stories

As many of you have probably noted, not everything said about Michael Jackson was true.  The biggest hurdles he had to face also involved the biggest loves of his life - children.  If you think back over the years, there was a ton of press about the molestation charges, the color of his skin, the way he opened his home to children, but it was only on a rare occasion that you heard the good Michael was doing for children and people all over the world.

Did you know that humans can actually die from not having human contact?  That in many orphanages all over the world there are children starved for human contact?  This was one of the things Michael did.  He visited orphanages all over the world providing not only necessities, like clothing and bedding, but offering his time and touch.  Holding the hands of children and offering them LOVE.  These are the real necessities of life, he says.

There is a very special lady I met through the internet that is working on a book about all the people that Michael Jackson touched in his life.  The people that visited Neverland, the people who's lives he affected.  She is looking for people to interview and if that might be you or someone you know, I invite you to contact her:

Her name is Ester:  ester@blueyonder.co.uk

Ester and I met through Heal the World organization when it was still up and running.  Through a prompting by Michael, I wrote to her.  Michael has said she has a pure heart.  He's put his blessing on this project and has also remarked to me about her name, Ester, and that it's in the bible.  Although I have yet to ask Ester personally what this might be about.

If you are fan of Michael Jackson, or possibly just following his work, you might have noticed that Heal the World is no longer a presence.  They have been sued by the Michael Jackson estate and have had to take down the website.  You might have seen Kathryn Jackson and Michael's children on ABC news here in the states supporting Heal the World, but unfortunately even they could not make agreed upon arrangements for the organization to retain Michael's name.

Michael also had a Heal the Kids organization, which you can read about here:  http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/WolfFiles/story?id=93894&page=1#.TyLHqMX1WuJ I personally was following this organization, as it contained elements both Michael and I were interested in and have been working on in the Man in the Mirror project.  Parenting and their roles in our lives have a great impact.  We continue our legacy through our children and it is this very critical relationship that needs to be healed in order to begin healing our world.  If it's not healed with them, it must be healed within ourselves.

This organization has also gone defunct.  Unfortunately, there was someone who misappropriated the funds and that lead to it's demise.  You might begin to notice a trend here: money, control, and endings to charitable work.  Unfortunately, I've also been following the Children's Hospital a few fans from the UK have been trying to get off the ground.  They've contact the estate and have yet to hear back of any support from them.  If  you remember Michael said in the recording they played at the court house what he wished to do with the money from his This Is It Tour:




I am saddened that I've yet to hear of anything the estate has done on behalf of Michael's wishes regarding his charitable work.  As you can see from his statement, that's what he wanted to be remembered for most of all.  I really feel it's up to all of us to continue this work and heal the planet.

So PLEASE . . if you know of anyone that has been touched by his compassion and love, reach out to Ester and let her know.

THANK YOU!

P.S. Just as a side note.  Did you notice that this transcript from court, that was dated May 10, 2009 , weeks before Michael's death has Conrad Murray recorded as saying "I know you would" in response to Michael telling him he was going to build a hospital?  Why would he say "would", shouldn't he have said "I know you WILL", if he didn't know something was going to happen to him?  Just sayin . . .

  1. I don't think Conrad's native language is English...right? So as a linguist myself, those conjugations of English verbs get lost in translation you know so would and will become practically the same. It gets confusing to people for whom English isn't their mother tongue or even for those who speak more than one language since birth.
