  <div class="message">I’m not a statistician, or a crime reports enthusiast but I’m sure when my father murdered my mother in 1977 – it was considered a rare crime. Till’ this day I still wonder what the back story was. What was my father going through? What was on his mind? What kind of demons did he have? Was there a psychiatric issue? All unanswered questions that pop up in my head from time to time.<br><br>
To be honest; these are unwanted thoughts. I’d rather not think about such but I can’t stop because it seems every month I’m…<span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/268080/my-parents-jovan-belcher-murder-suicide-where-are-we">Read more</a></span></div>

  <div class="message">I grew up at 17385 Pinehurst on Detroit’s west-side in the 80s and 90s. It was more “neighborhood than “hood” but nonetheless – it still had its challenges. My grandfather was savvy to the threats surrounding me/us. There was always: “Don’t go near That House”, “Stay away from Those Kids,” “Stay away from That Corner,” or “You can’t be friends with That Kid.” (For the record – he was always right.) And honestly I feel his job was easier as a parent than mine is now because the bad kids actually looked like…<span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/267704/the-hood-suburbs-good-kids-bad-kids-and-parenting">Read more</a></span></div>

This doesn’t mean you have to necessarily be what’s called a “People Person” but you have to recognize when a person has the potential to help further your goals and at least try to reach out to that person.

It’s amazing where you can find tid-bits of motivation. It was my first time watching HBO’s Boardwalk Empire this morning. A pretty violent and graphic series but low and behold – this nugget of inspiration was uttered in a random scene that had nothing to do with the overall plot of the show. This is the equivalent of just pulling into the store and seeing a parking space in the front. Remember – motivation is all around you – you just have to be…<span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/264653/every-day-in-every-way">Read more</a></span></div>

There is something very wonderful about waking up to the same woman, hitting the gym, making breakfast for the kids, taking them to karate, gymnastics or basketball practice. I'm 36 going on 37. My days of constantly seeking “action” or trying to define the beauty in a unplanned day is over. And its nothing wrong with that.
