I am at ground zero… rock bottom… back flat on the ground but falling down is how we grow; staying down is how we die. I have fallen but I am very much alive. I will be here, for as long as I am incarcerated, to better myself every single day. To learn and hopefully teach. To grow, while challenging myself to relentlessly check in on my mental, emotional and physical state so that every decision is deliberate, every thought is purposeful, and every emotion and sentiment is genuine. I hope that you will come with me on my journey because it takes a village. I am so grateful to have the ability to become the man, with you all by my side, that my boys deserve their father to be. When odds are one in a million… be that one. And don’t you ever wait for the storm to pass… take your shoes off and learn how to dance in the rain.
