The more I have heard from Charlie Sheen<\/strong> over the last year, the more I like his brother Emilio Estevez.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not nice and certainly not Christian to make fun of Charlie Sheen’s well-documented troubles so I won’t.<\/p>\n

Emilio Estevez, Martin Sheen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Instead, it’s better to focus on positive stories like Estevez.<\/p>\n

I can do just that thanks to my colleague Corine Gatti’s feature cover piece on Beliefnet titled Emilio Estevez Talks Martin, Organic Gardening, Community and The Way.<\/em><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/Entertainment\/Celebrities\/Emilio-Estevez-Talks-Martin-Organic-Gardening-Community-and-The-Way.aspx<\/p>\n

I really appreciate that Estevez is not an in-your-face personality like Charlie Sheen, or their father Martin, who has promoted liberal causes his whole life and in his role as the president on The West Wing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

(Speaking of keeping it positive, Martin Sheen<\/strong> is a legendary actor who plays a starring role in an upcoming movie directed by Estevez … see below).<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it sounds clich\u00e9 but when we stop to smell the flowers, unless you do, you forget how good a rose actually smells. And it\u2019s the little things that ultimately turn us on.” Estevez told Gatti in the piece.<\/p>\n

Every day is a gift and a chance to do something positive and make a difference, and Estevez gets that.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out Corine’s story on our main page beliefnet.com for more on Estevez and his new movie, The Way<\/em>, about a man who walks a spiritual trail to learn more about his deceased son.<\/p>\n
