On Fatherhood, Manhood & Becoming Better Ancestors.
I hadn’t realized it had been so long since I wrote last. Then I realized the major reason for my absence. My daughters have spent the month of July with me. I have gone swimming at least twice in the last 3 weeks. One week we even went 4 times. I have been playing a lot of basketball and spending a lot of time outside with them. All three of us have gotten really dark in the last few weeks...
So over the past 2 years or so I have been going through a “Life Change”. I never knew that this is very normal, I think. But as I mature and began to think for myself. I am finding out that a lot of the things that was I taught when I was a child are not 100% true, but then again what is Truth? I think I will save that for another time. But this “LC” was and still is hard...
No matter how hard I try I can’t get it right. Today began month four of my journey of independence. My journey into business. I have had to adapt and change almost daily. However, I do have a sketch of a plan. It involves multiple phases and a ton of new knowledge to cram in my brain. And I love it. I am now seeing the fruits of my labor. Despite a couple of hiccups in my life, many things...
I always tell myself I am going to do something. Yes, I know talking to ourselves is not considered sane, yet all do it. ” Oh, I’ll do that tomorrow” ” I’ll start working out Monday” ” I will begin to actually write daily in my blog” ” I will wash clothes tonight after the playoff game” You get the idea, right? Well, inevitably things up...
In the past several years I have made efforts to improve all facets of my life. I have listened to countless hours of audio. I have read all the self-help books I could get my hands on. I became a self-help maniac. Needless to say, after a while it all runs together. It is all the same message with a different spin. Their spin. From Zig Ziglar to Tony Robbins to Wayne Dyer to Jim Rohn (insert...
My Blessing I have a strong belief that I can learn almost anything. It is rare when I come across something I like and not believe I can master that given skill. My friends have always said I was a gifted artist and naturally talented. Recently I realized that the truth is that I became addicted to wanting to be an artist when I was a little boy. I still remember Terrell Hamilton (I need to look...
My writing may seem a little clunky for some people. And others find it educational and even motivational. (I love my readers) I do recognize that my writing needs to improve. My main goal is to share my story. However, I am making serious efforts at improving and making my words flow better and my thoughts paint a picture. I was reading some things I wrote a year ago and was amazed at how un...
Yes, It is an Art You have probably all seen this show and got a good idea of what improv is. Truth is that there is so much more than this show put on the air. Although what they share is pure genius at times. They primarily played games and had to have the ability to think on their feet. The cast is full of comic geniuses of which Wayne Brady was my favorite. I studied improv for 8 months and...
It has been two months on my own. WOOHOO! I quit my Manager job two months ago. I quit to be home and watch my daughters grow and be there for their needs. I quit because I think I have more to give the world than I would be able to give at my job. I quit because it was time to move on to a new phase of my life. One in which I will be my own boss and determine my own work hours. It would be a lie...
I love this video! There are so many way too many lessons I get out of this short film. First and foremost, it is simply appreciating people for who they are and what they have to offer. I have found through my journey that it is so much easier to criticize and be judgmental than it is to understand. Some people can be total jack-asses and difficult (I was in retail for 18 years so I understand)...
