DAY 038 - Knowing What NOT to Fear

We had fantastic working sessions this weekend. Archiving footage and photos brought back beautiful memories. We saw people in our theatrical shows from the early 2000’s that have gone on to become actors, actresses, musicians, and wonderful souls who uplift those around them on a weekly basis. I came across video from the days we would travel to Atlanta’s Auburn Ave district and not only feed the homeless, but we would spend time, talk, and even pray with them. All things that I had some amount of fear and hesitancy prior to starting. They say that courage is knowing what not to fear.

As I look back on my upbringing, I recall so many moments and situations where fear would take over my soul it seemed.

My first time speaking to a crowd of people felt like I would die from nervousness.

Day 012 – Surround Yourself with People Smarter Than You

Day 011 - Run Towards Peace

As hard as it is to build a brand from the ground up, I still smile at the experience and lessons learned along the way. This is by no means some get rich quick hustle or some grind that bears no fruit. I'm thankful for our growing community. I appreciate the paced speed of our path. He who runs after good fortune runs away from peace.
