contemplations of a dad, husband and entrepreneur
13 Jun
It’s been a couple of months since my last post and oh my, how things have changed. Here’s a quick run-down of all that’s happened this past couple of months:
• Got pregnant. Lost the baby, again. Exploring our options and recouping from the emotional trauma of the disappointment and stress. It sucks.
• On May 31, Kristy and I took a leap of faith; I resigned from my position at RELEVANT. My last day there is Friday, June 30.
• On July 1, Motiv New Media becomes a reality. Whether its a long-term project or a short-term gain, it is the vehicle through which I will bring revenue to my family. Check out www.motivnewmedia.com around mid-July for more information. If you need someone to help you take your online ventures to another level, contact me.
• Today I spoke with a label in Nashville about a position. Nothing is sacred. Everything is up for consideration.
• Yesterday I shaved my goatee but kept a mustache. Kristy didn’t like it. It’s gone today.
• I’m selling my truck. Want to buy an 2002 F150 Supercrew? Buy mine. As a result, I’m getting a 1998 Dodge Dakota extra cab truck at a steal (thanks mom and dad). New paint, new tires, new rims and black. Really, does it get any better.
• Yesterday I got my new toy.
• Kristy and I head to Nashville this weekend for a wedding.
• I’ve started another blog: www.makeitright.info. It’s basically my journal to understand social justice and fair trade issues. This is a growing area of interest lately and quite frankly, something I feel responsible about. Watch out world. Something is rising.
The past six to eight months have been nothing but a process for me. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to share that here. But as time goes on, I hope to begin to unpack it piece by piece. In no way am I at the end of my journey. In fact, I’m still at the very beginning. I’m learning about dreams; giants; faith; trust; hope; sacrifice; disappointments; friendship; intimacy; relationships; and the list goes on. Thanks to each of you for being a part of all this. Maybe some day we’ll look back and so, “Oh! That’s what that was all about.” That would make me smile.

wow… moving on. all the best to you in your future endeavors! freelancing has kept me busy for the past year and a half, but in july, i’ll be starting as a copy editor for world publications in winter park. God is faithful.
i remember our lunch breaks at Fire Subs… miss you bro. I’m really proud of you and admire you for taking a risk. I like your truck … do you take monopoly money?
Congrats on your new venture! Very cool!
I’ll miss having you guys around though … I need to come up to Nash soon and visit all the transplants.
