I had the pleasure of meeting a pretty awesome young lady today. Her bubbly attitude was addicting! She told me a little bit of her story, that's where I learned she goes to work at 6AM. (When she said that to me I was thinking, I'm just getting to sleep good at 6 AM :D.) … Continue reading Don’t lose your bubble

Investment
Person to person investment is often excluded when we think of the word investment. Mostly words such as money, profit, buying, or even future come to mind. What if we take that powerful word and use it to benefit others? I was listening to an amazing Pastor today who taught, how most of us do … Continue reading Investment
Magnify your ounce.
What would you do after spending 20 years dedicated to danger and excitement? Would you possibly find your favorite hobby, stick with it for a couple of years, just to become a professor?

Dear Past
Dear past: Most of us cringe at the thought of you. I think taking a different approach this time might help with a definition. Me.

Dear Future
Dear Future: The plan is to set fear and doubt in everyone’s mindset. I know this because every time I glance at the news, social media; or any public place for that matter, the scent is lurking. The thought of the unknown can at times be overwhelming. I believe that you are also trying to … Continue reading Dear Future
Remind
