21st Century Dad

Can I be honest and open with you all? Okay, when I decided to start my own business the idealist in me felt like it would just take off if I did everything in my plan. Well, now I know, that's not the way it works. However, this new leaf has given me an opportunity to spend loads of time with my daughter.

I'm working from home and caring for my daughter during the day, while Tere is healing the world at the Hospital. At first I thought I was in the "Twilight Zone", then a came to realize what a blessing it is. This role reversal thing is not half bad. Actually, its not a reversal at all, its just that we can all chip in now.

My Vices/My Love

Food, oh how I love you. You never disappoint. He he he. When I was pregnant, these delicious options filled my tummy with such joy and delight. Prove me wrong if you dare.....

This brownie earthquake goes great with a hot summer day, watching a movie or talking with friends...... actually, it's great whenever you're hungry.

Cheeto-Puffs are a great anytime snack!

Now these are new and it might just take 1 to get used to it but once you get the hang, you'll be Addicted. I LOVE these! Still gotta hang on to the puffs though...

And the ultimate! Enough said! Yummy, I'm getting hungry so you know what I'm gonna do.....

$5.00 Blessing

The most awesomest thing happened to me today, and stuff like this NEVER happens to me. One of my good friends invited me to lunch at a nearby diner and I agreed. We stepped out the car and lying on the ground was one whole crisp $5 bill. I was so excited!!!!! Free money, Yeah, whoot, whoot! I felt like a millionaire, only $999,994.00 to go. Thank you Jesus!

Surreal Life

Have you ever had a surreal moment? Mine came when I saw this pic. In the moment, it just felt like a good time with my boy Julian and his family. But when I saw this pic that Sarah (greatest photographer in the world) took, it hit me hard.

Let me tell you why this moment, this picture, was so surreal. Julian and I have known each other since birth. We were born in the same hospital--a couple of year apart of course. Here we are almost 30 years later, standing in the same room, holding our daughters who are the same age. This is too SURREAL!!!!!!

Start-up...

As some of you know, I'm an entrepreneur. A few years ago, I started a Marketing and Advertising firm called Carrister. This road has lead me down some really steep hills but the lessons that I am learning are amazing. If you are an entrepreneur

and you don't believe that God is in control, you are fooling yourself.

Last year I embarked upon developing a ground breaking advertising technology targeted at the legal industry. I called it e-Legal Ads. I pulled together some of my very smart friends and picked their brains dry. My buddy Carl, @ K3 Technologies, had to suffer through my indecisive and OCD personality, but at the end we developed a cutting edge legal advertising technology that will change the industry. One of my business mentors, Joel Callins @ The Callins Law Firm, was such a big part of helping me navigate through taking a business concept and turning it into a revenue generating engine. As-a-matter-of-fa

ct he became our first client. (Thanks Bro!)

I'll share a little more in the future about how things are going. Just remember, entrepreneurship is a roller coaster ride with a lot of loops, twists, and drops, but at the end all you remember is the ride was SWEET!!!!!!
