There.

Big brother & I.

Something that hardly ever happens in these days & times
which is why making an impromptu invitation 2
Rogers Park was in store.

It's great 2 see how someone you know & love
 for a lifetime can become such a joy 
simply by the presence.

Family is something I've recently learned never 2 take for granted & 2 appreciate each & every moment.

That's something I've vowed 2 live by 
from this point on 
so I humbly embrace.

That's the key.

That's the answer.

I'll always be "There". 
No matter.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Dreaming & Living.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Now!

The single most significant decision I can make on a daily basis is the choice of Attitude.

It's more important than the past, 

education, 

financial status

success or failures

fame or pain, 

circumstances

and position.

Attitude keeps me moving with constant 

progress & fuels the fire.

When Attitude is on point, there's no barrier 2 high, 

valley 2 deep

or dream 2 extreme. 

"NOW" I know.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

A Little Guilty.

Disappear.

It's always a joy 2 have son Khalid around 
the way for some "quality" time.

Whether it's video games, pizza or just 
a simple stroll....

time is time & that's cool.

That's why @ times when things get tough, 

my lil' man has the ability 2 make it all "disappear."

Hmmm...I wonder if he even know that whenever he's near everyone else 

seems so far away.

That's great for the soul & good for the heart. 

It's always better that way....

Yep!

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Adventure or Nothing.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Promo #13 - Salt Cod Cafe.

Island.

I find it pretty amazing how life can take you places when you challenge risk & open up 2 

greater possibilities. 

No matter how crazy it may appear, there's always something 2 take from every single situation whether good or not so. 

Anywho...

Off again on another one of those Weddington Adventures where we headed 
through the islands off the 

eastern shores of Maine. 
(...with the trusty Canon in hand of course...duh!)

The scene was totally surreal with an unique culture all its own.

For one, never knew people could take seafood so seriously.

(if you've ever wondered where crab / lobster country was, this is certainly the place.)

Quaint towns, plenty of seafood, colonial homes

& a loads of water...

 (I've never seen so much water in my life!....)

by the way, it was !@#$%^&* cooold!

Surely the scenery would've been so much more nostalgic well into the summer months 
but for the very first run through, 
it was pretty sweet.

Oh, did I mention that it was !@#$%^&* cold?...lol


Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Be Creative & Do.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

Disguise.

Once upon a time there was this person.

Ultra sensitive 2 the untruth & sorta 

an underdog in the greater scheme of things.

Questioning of one's self,

Often would they wonder...

"Should I compromise for the lesser of anything good?"

That's when it was revealed 2 create it's very own voice 

& bond 2 the only thing they could truly stand on....
 Words.

@ a time where hate & judgement runs the scene, 

we all have the power 2 share our differences 

& treat others with what's 

innately in our hearts

...Love.

Finding that faith 2 move forward

whether on the unpredictable 
streets of Chicago

2 the backwoods of azz backwards Georgia, 

one thing remains true...

There's a greater force 2 be reckoned.

You just have 2 know where 2 look.

It just may be where you least expect.

Oh, by the way, 

have you looked @ your reflection in the mirror lately?

hmmm....

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)
