September 16, 2015. What to Do When You Hit a Dead-End. 8220;Get busy living’ or get busy dying’” – Red. In the 1994 film, “The Shawshank Redemption”. Andy Dufresne is sentenced to two life terms in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. While incarcerated, he was assaulted, beaten, placed in solitary confinement, and forced to work for a corrupt warden. He was in a dead end situation with no way out. It would have been easy to give up and pack it in. But he refused to. Dig a new trail. Dig a new road.

September 30, 2015. Me & My Hightop Fade: What Will Your Life Look Like in 2025? I used to have a high top fade. I wore Hammer pants and shiny shoes with steel toes. I owned a purple double breasted suit with 200 or 300 buttons in the front. I wanted to be a rapper and a traveling dancer on tour. I memorized every step in New Edition’s “If it isn’t Love? When I look back at my pictures from those days I can’t help but shake my head. What seemed so fly back in the day looks ridiculous right now. Start the...

life of peoples: November 2014
http://lifeofpeoples.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
A small piece of my heart, written for you. Saturday, November 29, 2014. What are you scared of, what fear are you letting stop you? It was the question Rich threw at me. And it hit home. Our conversation was filled with talk of our most vulnerable selves, our subconscious, and the wall of fear. But Rich didn't let it end there. Rich's challenge was really a challenge to step out of my comfort zone. So onward I will go, taking steps, and beginning to change my internal conversations. Links to this post.

A small piece of my heart, written for you. Sunday, August 09, 2015. PTSD Letter for Dad.

life of peoples: 3 questions
http://lifeofpeoples.blogspot.com/2015/04/3-questions.html
A small piece of my heart, written for you. Sunday, April 26, 2015. I threw down 3 questions to him. I wanted to say so much more, and to encourage him to press on. I wanted to say there is a light at the end of the tunnel and the fight is worth it. Less than a week later he told me he was moving out. But what if they had these 3 questions before? What if they were put into practice a year ago? How will these 3 questions change their future relationships? How will they change yours? Sunday, April 26, 2015.

life of peoples: Run that race
http://lifeofpeoples.blogspot.com/2015/04/run-that-race.html
A small piece of my heart, written for you. Monday, April 20, 2015. Sunday I had a friend run a half marathon. She started training right about the time that we met and it was a topic of conversation many times over the last 6 months. Watching her progress was nothing short of awesome and I am not only really excited for her but I am also greatly inspired. As a matter of fact, she gave me a real living example of Hebrews 12:1. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
