the Art in my Heart (part 1)
Recently, a dear friend named Arthur was opening a new studio named Haven. He’s a talented guy and painting is just one of his many talents. I’ve known him for over 20 years. I think we met in middle school. I always remembered that he was always a nice guy. He never bothered anyone; just…

…as the band plays
Being on the drumline in college remains near the top of my list of “things I’ve had the best time doing.” I loved every minute minute of it. I was in some of the best shape of my life. Whenever I felt tired, I told myself to push past it. Those and many other lessons have…

It has been a while since I last posted. I purposely took a break from most social media. It was taking over my life. I would find myself staring at my phone a lot throughout the day. It wasn’t good. I wasn’t having a great time on social media anyway. I was allowing what I…
