if I stopped drumming? 🥁
My dad brought home a drum set one day. I played it till it BROKE.
Then came the schoolbook sessions—practicing beats on old schoolbooks and pillows while listening to my boom box, dreaming of something more.
Late teens: Finally bought my own kit (barely any cymbals, but who cared?). Got serious.
The worship teams changed everything:
✨ Conquered stage fright
✨ Rediscovered spirituality
✨ Sharpened my skills like never before
Here's the truth: Starting is key, but without momentum and forward movement, even the biggest dreams waste away.
What if I'd given up after that first kit broke? What if I'd let the dream die during those schoolbook sessions?
I'd have missed out on everything that made me who I am today.
What dream are you letting waste away? Don't let it. Keep the momentum alive. 🔥
I thought I didn't, until the Las Vegas International Art Competition. My piece "Anticipate" took third place in mixed media.
And at the Gala Premier, something else happened that night...
My late wife Mary's spirit passed through me—and through my gifted friend Kat, who was facing away. She turned around and said: "Mary is encouraging you to keep doing your art."😲
Over time, I realized what Mary meant. The art she was speaking of wasn't just my paintings...
It was ME.
The accumulation of our experiences in this life IS our art. We are blessed to be one with it.
You are a masterpiece in progress. Your life, your experiences, your journey—that's your greatest creation.
What's your spirit trying to tell you? 👻✨
and what does it take to be abundant?
My first cannabis grow taught me everything about abundance.
Before I even germinated a single seed, I went DEEP into research. Low stress training (LST), manifolding—preparing for higher yields from day one.
Time + Study + Observation + Application + Patience
Through much failure, success finally came. The abundance? More than I ever expected.
Here's what I discovered: I could take all that online information and transform it into real, tangible results.
That tiny spark of creativity taught me how to be abundant.
And abundance? It reminded me to be grateful for exactly where I am today. 🙏
Growth isn't just about plants—it's about becoming the person who can handle the harvest.
What are you cultivating in your life right now? 🌿
