Express Yourself was the second single from the Like a Prayer CD and was released on May 9, 1989.
I began experimenting with The 72 Names of God meditation and Voyager Tarot cards in August. During this time, I had a vision that I would someday embark on a journey named 72 Days of God. To prepare for that journey, I immediately purchased the domain 72daysofgod.com. I then forgot about it and continued with my everyday life.
The following month, on September 28, 2009, Madonna released the Celebration CD. A few days later, another co-worker left our organization. Since we only had seven employees, including our Executive Director, I was slightly concerned when I realized two employees had gone within the last few months.
On October 9, I discovered that my Destiny Birth and Planetary Ruling Cards were the following:
The Six of Clubs Person | The Card of Higher Purpose
This card is also known as the psychic card and it is surprising to see how few of the people of these birth dates are aware of their gift. The Six of Clubs also means responsibility to the truth. These people must learn to find a system of truth that they can believe in and live their life by. Once attained, there is no limit to how much good these people can do in the world.
Those who have not yet found their path can be the biggest worriers and procrastinators of all the cards in the deck. They have a responsibility to maintain inner balance and peaceful communications with those in their lives. They often attain financial affluence and have inherent protection over their lives. This is one of the cards that can attain the highest degree of material or spiritual success. On the other hand, they can get caught up in their complacency and never amount to anything.
As the card of ‘responsibility of the spoken word’ the Six of Clubs always has issues about what they say and what they do as a result. I have seen some of them profess the truth for years while secretly keeping their own lies. In all such cases, their lies catch up with them sooner or later with dire consequences. The high side Six of Clubs always practices what they preach and are careful about what they say.
Some Six of Clubs have a special mission in their life, one that involves bringing others to the threshold of some ancient and powerful truth. These are the bringers of light. Once they tap into their hidden reserves and their natural intuition is recognized, they find their lives guided and protected from the highest sources possible.
Some of the Six of Clubs Issues Concerning Relationships
Six of Clubs love to be in love and have relationships but often there are some childhood issues that impinge on their ability to choose wisely. Love is important to them. The women make good wives and mothers while the men are often dominated by certain women in their life. They have good marriage karma and usually have at least one very good marriage in their life.
Whether they do it early or later in life, they will one day face the emotional issues connected to their childhood and during that time, there will be challenges. Their love nature is strong and pure and it always finds the way through the trying times.
Their notions about love and marriage tend toward the idealistic and romantic sides. For this reason, they will often encounter disappointments when these dreams clash with reality.
Eight of Hearts as Your Planetary Ruler
You are a sociable person with a good deal of charm and magnetism. You enjoy having the attention of others and will find ways to ensure that you get a certain amount of it most of the time. You have a lot of power with the charm you have and this can help you or get you into trouble. The Eight of Hearts is called the ‘Playboy Card’ and whether you realize it or not, you do have the ability to get what you want from others using the emotional power at your disposal. This is healing power as well. Most Eight of Hearts keep a circle of friends, family or associates around them all the time. Their ‘eight hearts’ are an important part of their life, whether these are their friends, immediate family, students, employees or lovers. – Copyright 2003 by Robert Camp, author Love Cards and Destiny Cards.
“Don’t go for second best baby, Put your love to the test. You know, you know, you’ve got to, make him express how he feels and maybe then you’ll know your love is real.”
On November 15, 2009, my newly appointed Executive Director called after we had exchanged a few emails. The conversation didn’t go well, and she threatened to fire me before the call ended. After I hung up the phone, I started shaking all over my body. My left arm developed a sharp pain, and I immediately went to the emergency room to make sure that I didn’t have a heart attack.
After an EKG was run and stated that everything checked out okay, the doctor concluded that I must have had a panic attack. He prescribed some anti-anxiety medication and sent me home. I gave my notice that afternoon. Since I had never been fired from a job, I certainly didn’t want to start at 48. My last day with the National Center for Bicycling and Walking was November 30, 2009.
And since I didn’t want to stress myself out even further by getting on a plane and flying across the country, I spent the holidays alone. After the Oregon Employment Department rejected my unemployment benefits, it was evident that I was undergoing yet another reincarnation.
This one challenged me to the core.

EXPRESS YOURSELF
Come on girls
Do you believe in love?
‘Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this
Don’t go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you’ve got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you’ll know your love is real
You don’t need diamond rings
Or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast
You know they never last, no, no
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you till you can’t come down
(You’ll never come down)
Long stem roses are the way to your heart
But he needs to start with your head
Satin sheets are very romantic
What happens when you’re not in bed
You deserve the best in life
So if the time isn’t right then move on
Second best is never enough
You’ll do much better baby on your own
(Baby on your own)
Express yourself
(You’ve got to make him)
Express himself
Hey, hey, hey, hey
So if you want it right now, make him show you how
Express what he’s got, oh baby ready or not
And when you’re gone he might regret it
Think about the love he once had
Try to carry on, but he just won’t get it
He’ll be back on his knees
To express himself
(You’ve got to make him)
Express himself
Hey hey
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you till you can’t come down
(You’ll never come down)
So please
Express yourself
(You’ve got to make him)
Express himself
Hey, hey, hey, hey
So if you want it right now, make him show you how
Express what he’s got, oh baby ready or not
Express yourself
(You’ve got to make him)
So you can respect yourself
Hey, hey
So if you want it right now, then make him show you how
Express what he’s got, oh baby ready or not
