Prince Charming
Is Just Another Name for
The Snake Charmer
!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Snake Charmer--a wonderful book written by one of my favorite people, Stuart V. Goldberg--will soon be "out there."  

Not long after that, if all goes as planned, it will be turned into a movie set in Chicago with a cast made up of those who are in one way or another connected to The Windy City.  

From time to time, Stuart will share excerpts from his book (which is based on his experiences--seen by many, including myself, as downright heroic--as a defense attorney) with his Facebook friends.  

I understand why he does this, because I, too, am writing a book, and I feel like the contents are under pressure within me so that some will slip out like steam and food aromas from a pressure cooker before it's time to place its contents on a serving plate.

Today, he wrote on his wall about his practice of going right into the bowels of a jail or prison to meet with his clients instead of having them come to a sanitary, whitewashed meeting room.  He smells what they smell, hears what they hear, and places his well-maintained, upper-class hands on the cold bars that separate him from them (in body but not in spirit).

By coming this close to crawling inside of their skins, he feels much better prepared to defend them and lead them towards another chance to succeed at life.

The response I wrote to him seemed like one that shouldn't get lost in the shuffle of wall messages, so I've decided to share it here so that more people will understand why he is--and always will be--part of the beautiful embroidery of life that has been stitched on my heart.

I'm also including some wonderful graphics to illustrate this blog-entry, because learning more and more about Stuart is like encountering beautiful landscapes in either photographs or personal experience...

 Karen Carpenter might have sung of eyes of blue in Close To You instead of those beautiful ebony eyes of yours, but the words still apply to you because of the wonderful, sensitive person who is Stuart V. Goldberg.

You have, among others, your family, your friends (both real life and Internet), law students, and your adopted family from the hood all longing to be close to you, and you deserve this much more than you even show you realize through your sharing here at FB and in your upcoming book.

I hope that it will be finished and out there soon so that people can begin reading it and further make your inner-beauty (and I'm not saying that you don't have outer-beauty, too, because you have it in abundance as well!) a very contagious epidemic!!!

Stuart V. Goldberg


This special guy sets a standard in the world of criminal justice because he believes in doing things that bring out the best in not only the people who become his clients but, also, in others.

In a time when it has, unfortunately, become trendy to hate on people who have been spoon-fed to society as unacceptable in ways not unlike how some people pit their dogs against each other for "entertainment" purposes, Stuart V. Goldberg is nothing less than very refreshing!

Tribute To A Snake Charmer

Here is something I've written for a very special and wonderful friend, Stuart V. Goldberg.  This was originally going to be a post for his Facebook wall, but it was too long for that, so I'm placing it here and linking back to it...

It's Discovery Day, and I would love for Stuart to discover a lot of positive strokes on his wall whenever he gets around to coming over here, so let's pitch in and create a real treasure for this real treasure of a guy.  I'll go first.

There are so many reasons to love Stuart, but I believe the main one is how hopeful and positive he is.  When he goes to court, he places bright colors here and there on his lawyer suits--which are, often, brightly-colored, themselves.

I assume that his glasses are prescription glasses, but he goes the route of wearing ones that are very cool--and even a little goofy.

Having a day in court isn't easy for anybody, so it's nice when there's a lawyer in the courtroom who is adding sunshine and rainbows to the mix--and it's also important that said lawyer knows what he's doing and is dedicated to bringing about the best outcome for each case, whether it's winning the case when the people aren't guilty or helping the people to start seeing the winners that they could be even if they are.

In Stuart's eyes, even totally-guilty people deserve better than simply being locked away and forgotten about, so he helps to bring about solutions that are positive for everybody involved.

When it comes to the entire city of Chicago, the Chicago justice system, and individuals--in fact, well beyond the borders of The Windy City, Stuart V. Goldberg is truly a snake charmer:  somebody who acts as a standard and moral compass without being holier-than-thou in a world in need of direction!

Let's give a big round of applause for our snake charmer!

His movie IS going to become a major hit right up there with Gone With The Wind!!!

I'm looking forward to The Ides Of March!!! (Even though I'm definitely not wishing away the time between now and then, because this is one of my very favorite times of the year!).
