Happy Grateful Friday folks!

Today I’m grateful to be an uncle! It’s a privilege and honor to be able to 𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐫 into the lives of these kids.

They have their own parents of course, but there’s something about having a healthy village around that just 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐬 to children’s lives in a different way. 😁

And another thing! Let’s not wait until things are really bad before seeking help. But again, that requires you knowing where to go and who to talk to.

Let’s be better y’all.

I’m so grateful we get to DREAM and have things we want to accomplish or see in our lives.

We can’t assume that those dreams will just automatically manifest.

Don’t forget to 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬 along the path that’s set before you.

Isn’t it a lovely day? It’s Grateful Friday!

I’m grateful for living in a place where I can afford to change my diet and be picky with the food I eat. There are other places where people have to just eat whatever they’re given because they don’t know when that next meal is coming.

Being grateful for the food I eat is an every day practice for me. It’s about being present with what I have in front of me and not allowing waste. It’s also about giving to others whenever I’m able. 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.❤️

Take a moment (or several moments) to fully engage your senses.

Try stepping outside to do this.

Fully see what’s around you.
Fully smell what’s in the air.
Fully hear the different things around you.
Fully feel through touch anything around you.
Fully taste whatever you decide to eat.

Do this during a break today. Notice how it feels. 😊

Some mixed emotions on this Grateful Friday.

This week, my family is hurting. My aunt died. It’s been hard to fully focus on everything else this week because of that.

I’m so grateful to my aunt. She was a light in this world. Someone who was smart, kind, inviting, and giving. Her and my uncle sent a beautiful message of love, wisdom, and invitation to my wife and I right before we got married. That’s how they are…were. My aunt was the type of person to show love to all those around her.

I’m grateful to have known her and she’ll definitely be missed… love you auntie. ❤️

My wet dog wants to remind you that 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭.

Your sport is very important to you right now which is cool. Just don’t forget, you’re more than just an athlete.

This is not an excuse to burn yourself out!

This IS a message reminding you that you have a choice every day.
To “snooze” or not to “snooze”, that is the question.

What’s important to you in this season or phase of your life?

The first Grateful Friday of 2026! 🙌🏾

Here’s a simple one for today. I’m grateful for the continued growth in myself through reflection, introspection, research, reading, listening to others, etc.
I’m not foolish enough to think I know it all because I definitely don’t. There’s always room to grow.

My encouragement for you all is to 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.

A little December vlog!

We got baking, game night on NYE, food truck event, family Christmas time, and other fun (except for that busted pipe 😩).

Oh plus lights, lights, and more lights. 😁🎄
