The Luxury Of Meeting Maya

It was this song in 1996 that 'truly' introduced me to the great Maya Angelou, who passed away Wednesday...Thank you, Luxury, for sparking my heart...




Thank you, God, for the gracious moments we had to READ, FEEL, LAUGH, CRY, SING,  and oh, so much more, because you gifted us with Maya Angelou...

The Wait Is Over...

...because YOU are a LEADER worth following. YOU are the one who will begin a solution revolution. YOU will be the one who takes the torch of leaders before...fan the flame, and set the world ablaze.

YOU. Yes, YOU.

I'm looking forward to sprinting beside you on this amazing journey, and seeing how the world becomes a better place...because YOU are in it.

Where Did That Boy Go?!?!?

It's a phrase my son says all the time. Daddy, ask, 'Where did that boy go?' Then, Jay will proceed to hide some place. Many times the hiding place is In plain sight, as if he has all of sudden received to cloak of invisibility from Harry Potter. For instance, grabbing a sheet and hiding under it in the middle of our floor...Today was getting completely underneath a plastic bin. I was impressed! The neat thing is, he LOVES to be found. He giggles or moves to give away his spot. And this is the face that greets you when you do.
