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 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

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 posted this image on Instagram yesterday and something about the look on Nilah’s face struck me.
