I am auctioning items to raise funds for the Terrence Higgins Trust. A few years ago, I contacted a variety of celebrities asking for signed items. The plan was to hold a live auction but this fell through (long story). So here I am finally!
Born in Bath England to Jamaican and Irish parents Marcus Patrick (born Patrick Marcus Osbourne) is a British actor who has been based in the United States for several years. He has appeared in such American television series as My Wife & Kids, CSI: Miami, Passions and Dancing With The Stars.
From 29 June, until 25 September 2006 he was part of the cast of the long-running soap All My Children playing the role of Jamal Cudahy and as Jett Carver in Days of our Lives. He has also played the lead role in an independent film I Do, I Did (2009)
Aside from acting, Marcus Patrick has also practiced Tae Kwon Do, winning championships at the junior and men’s heavyweight level. For a while, he was intent on becoming a professional fighter, but upon realizing that his violence was fueled by a history of physical abuse, decided he could no longer fight.
Often referred to as one of the most beautiful men in the world, Patrick has had a singing career, firstly with the boyband Worlds Apart as well as a solo career with Simon Cowell of American Idol fame acting as Agent and Manager
Unlimited by labels, Patrick strides forwards on an intellectual and spiritual path; unafraid to lead others towards authenticity.
Today was a great day! One of those days where minds meet and conversation flows effortlessly.
Today I have had the most incredible time. There’s nothing quite like minds/spirits meeting and thoughts, experiences and philosophies flowing freely.
Today, I met with Marcus Patrick and his beautiful and equally inspirational wife to make a short video for the Give ‘em Hope Campaign.
Marcus has been a cheerleader of my work for a number of years, beginning with a charity auction in maybe 2008 0r 2009…
Recognizing his core to be one of integrity, of openness and kindness, I again approached him to contribute something to my (still to be edited) book, NEVER BLEND IN.
His answers to my questions illustrated an evolved humanity which others would do well to observe and replicate.
So, of course, when the Give ‘em Hope Campaign began, who did I call upon?
Serendipity, fate, the universe had brought Marcus to my part of the world and so, today, we met.

THANK YOU FOR RESPECTING THIS.
MARCUS PATRICK IS A KEY VOICE IN THE FORTHCOMING BOOK, NEVER BLEND IN:
INTERVIEW EXTRACT:
I myself am not gay, nor do I consider myself Bisexual; I am a man who did not see the straight community as being evolved, loving or brave and so I invented my own definition. BI-LOVING = Meaning able to love all beings. Not have sex! LOVE
The minute one says the word Bi, of course most will assume this means sex but this is because the consciousness is focused on the sex as a way of relating. When you are able to strip all the acted behaviour away from a person and just have them sit, talk and share life, we see that we are all the same; abused, in need of Love and survival from the elements. I care for all beings.
If that makes me Part of the Gay or Bi Scene, Bring it!
THE FULL FRANK AND FASCINATING INTERVIEW WILL APPREAR IN NEVER BLEND IN LATER THIS YEAR.

Marcus and wife Alisa are currently focused on building the reputation of their company, Organic Life & Fitness in which they aim:
TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH
TO IMPROVE YOUR MIND and
~TALK TO YOUR SPIRIT~ .
Director of NBI Associates, motivational speaker and author of the inspirational NEVER BLEND IN, David E. Watters is launching a youtube video campaign to inspire, encourage and uplift those who may feel disenfranchised or who may lack self-belief.
THE “Give ‘em Hope” VIDEO CAMPAIGN IS AN INITIATIVE TO INSPIRE ALL YOUTH AND ADULTS WHO MAY DOUBT THEIR VALIDITY because ALL people, regardless of cultural heritage, physical or psychological ability, age, sexuality or gender identity, may feel self-doubt as they make the transition into adult life.
Many also, in adult life, encounter discrimination and bullying in the workplace and in other social settings.
To redress this, David E. Watters is seeking individuals, couples and groups to share their stories, in whichever way they choose, in a bid to provide support and encouragement to anyone who may question their place in the world.
These stories of living authentically, with dignity and unlimited by labels will become a powerful toolkit to help others understand how self-perception determines the path that they choose and that life need not be a self fulfilling prophecy when they improve self-concept, drive out fear and embrace new challenges as opportunities to learn and to grow.
IF YOU LIVE UNLIMITED BY LABELS…
THEN TELL US HOW IT’S DONE
