It‘s already past midnight. I should be doing this earlier for the sake of accuracy since I’m writing about the 21st of October (Oktober for those of us in Deutschland).

I’m reminded of a Facebook post my cousin shared years ago about a close friend of his. This friend was playing the piano during a church service, and his young daughter came up to him asking a question. Rather than putting his task first and telling his daughter to go sit down, he smiled and listened to her as he continued playing without missing a beat.

I DEEPLY despise this feeling of inadequacy that I’m suffering through now. I want to be a web developer. I NEED to be a practicing, professional photographer. THAT is my gift.

My dad called tonight and we talked for about 30 minutes. As with many other family members back home, I really should call more; I’m actually terrible about that. We don’t talk much, so I’m always grateful when we do. He sounded concerned at first, but I sensed he was well after the conversation went

I don‘t have many regrets–maybe even less as I get older and reflect–but one that will likely haunt me forever is that I didn‘t make more photos when I lived here the first time, nor did I answer the call to photograph when I was younger and still living in the US.
One of the greatest feelings as a father thus far was Eliana calling me back to her room last night after I checked on Nilah while she slept. She called me back to thank me for teaching her about money, wealth, and giving from her heart.

I thank God for my daughters. I could have been a better father today though. After yelling about all the noise, them arguing, and just being kids really, I felt regret. A lot of people would give anything to be with their kids as much as I am with mine. Millions of men who look

A not-so-odd occurrence tonight (because nothing is random): I was reading The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale on my Samsung tablet, and on page 83 of chapter 6, “Stop Fuming and Fretting”, he mentioned the 121st Psalm while telling a story about being in a frenzied pace all day until he’d finally

@ Starbucks in Kaiserslautern because it’s dope that they finally have one. I’m in a negative funk for no reason this morning. Maybe it’s the pressure of being an entrepreneur and not yet getting the results I desire. Maybe it’s from not feeling appreciated despite my best efforts. Maybe I’m just not being grateful. I’m

I AM thankful for this retreat that Nat and the girls are on. I believe it’s given us time to clear our heads and Spirits. I’m positive my body as well since I’ve been fasting and abstaining from lots of sugar and carbs–I just don’t have a desire for them. I create my reality based

I feel and KNOW that today IS a wonderfully powerful day. ALL positivity. I just woke up after about 7.5 hours of sleep and I’m fasting today (1800 last night to 1200 today). The sun is brightly shining outside. I sent 160€ to Natalie last night, and I’m helping my clients today. My ace John

I was feeling off balance and depressed yesterday folllowing the senseless murder of Nipsey Hussle. The last time I felt this way was when Michael Jackson passed. With Michael (which lasted about a week), the shock was likely due to the fact that he was a superstar during my childhood and an icon for as
