"Dreams"
I was very happy to be with a group
of people that were all nice +
comforting to be with. One man showed us a
home movie of him doing a sort of battle like dance with a bison.
We were all on a beautiful
island with hundreds of people. My
friend from high school was with us
+ after the man showed us the clip + talked for awhile I guess
we all went to sleep. When I woke up I stepped out of the room
and headed toward the bathroom.
All of the people on the island were
very attractive + I felt good to
be among them. I felt something strange in my mouth like my
tooth on my left side was loosining.
Panic set in + I tried to keep calm. I reached a mirror + was horrified
to find my front teeth falling out.
I pressed them back in + went out
to the beach where there were many people.
I noticed dolphins swimming + decided
to swim. I met a dolphin + its stern
was soft. It talked to me + gave
much sympathy.
I'm careining (Careening) a little right now
I know I'm gonna be alright
and I also know Ive made
mistakes and missed maneuvers
which may have taken me a

I'm generally either "on" or "OFF", in that you may think of me as outgoing, but just as often, im really quite
reclusive in nature. And enjoy time alone with my own thoughts to keep me company. ...now ya know:) Professionally, I am a Housing Counselor with a non-profit organization in St. Louis. I joined the justinePETERSEN organization, just a week or so after Daniel passed away. He himself had urged me to pursue the "non-profit" aspect of real estate, and JP at that time was actually located along "McCree Ave" yet another sign it was the right place for me.

HIV/AIDS. Founded in 2006, this vibrant group includes both church congregants, and non-

Ezekiel Project strives to be a "Living Legacy" to
all those who are no longer with us, and those who continue to live with HIV. As some of you may know, Daniel McCree was instrumental in this outreach from it's inception until his passing in
2007. Therefore, we continue this cause and wish to support it however possible.
Metropolitan Community Church of Greater Saint Louis (MCCGSL)
has announced the plans for this years Ezekiel Project Retreat. The church will host this years annual retreat, held on April 30,
2011 in Soulard. This years retreat is a one-day event, and is
FREE of charge. Breakfast & Lunch will be provided for
participants, and speakers from various organizations will offer
workshops throughout the day.
Ezekiel Project facilitates an annual retreat, maintains a memorial
and meets monthly to offer a safe-space for socializing & support
by others. It also volunteers its efforts throughout the year with
projects such as "Dining Out for Life", World AIDS Day, and the
International Candlelight vigil held each year.
This year the Ezekiel team will be volunteering at SQUARE ONE
BREWERY grill in Lafayette Square, in support of Dining out for Life. More details can be found at www.MCCGSL.org.

Heaven's Ahead Mister~Just Do What you Do
www.DanielMcCree.Org
February 1, 2011
Notes from the Editor:
February is here, and the cold has not only set in,
but makes the bones brittle under the warmth-
stealing winds. So in the past few months, so many
things have come to pass, and much of the routines
I have held for nearly 4 years has come to a rather
abrupt change.
In the days leading up to the path diversion I came
accross this quote... which Daniel wrote in 2005. It
along with a better known quote, really guided me
through some decisions that could not be made
without careful reflection.
"...Reparitions bestowed upon soluble society and chunks for monkeys; Heavens ahead mister.
Just do what you do..." D.McCree (2005)"
My own personal interpretation, simply leads me to know in my heart that the right decisions are
not without challenge, and that chunks, while hard to swallow, are indeed life-sustaining.
Okay, enough bush beating... Many of you may already know that at the end of January, I felt
called to resign my position at justinePETERSEN. A job I began just weeks after Daniel's passing
in 2007. The "JP" Family was such an amazing and supportive environment to work in, and a
chapter I was very reluctant to close.
That being said, I am excited and faith-challenged to announce my
newest venture, SmartChoice Center. Actually a side-project/ hobby I
began with my former partner Chad back in 2005.
Over the past few years we would often turn to this project for a little
extra income, as well as the expertise needed to create such places
as www.DanielMcCree.Org & BellevillePride.com.
I dont think either of us would have imagined that in 2011, I would turn
to the project as a full-time career. I must admit that at least in the first month, things are indeed

terrifying but arent the most exciting adventures?
So for those of you who's ongoing support make this endeavor possible, I thank you from the
deepest root of the vine. I shall continue to listen for that voice we all know, that often can be rather
demanding-Or at least absolute in "sureness".
Please join me on Facebook and online: www.SmartChoiceSTL.com
Your ongoing love and support is always appreciated.
