I am going to try and really make this a realistic representation of what my day looks like. The problem is every single day is an unpredictable adventure.
I have experienced the best of what the area has to offer. And from the moment I arrived Tampa, Florida from the entrance, I knew that I was in for quite the experience. Whether you are a foodie or an adventurer, here are several ways to get the most out of a Tampa. Getting dressed for the day, I just wanted to highlight this combination once more. Nothing really beats a pink linen shirt and a grey suit. It is the ultimate business gear for the gentleman. When it comes to color, I prefer something bright but not too loud as to keep the look clean and simple.
I took Dog Sav for a stroll, she is the center of attraction. Sav literally turn heads when walking down the street. It is like a splash of cold water hit their face.
I have a text today which is a question and it's a question that we cannot answer collectively. It is a question you have to answer individually.
For what is your life? There are three main questions that come up in life. Children ask this question where did I come from and somewhere sometime you better give them the right answer because if you don't somebody will give them the wrong answer and then maybe at your age right now, you are asking another question, why am I here and then when you get further up the road which I happen to be.
You say where do I go from here. So there are three basic questions about life. Where did I come from, why am I here and where do I go from here? You hear people say well, life isn't fair. one man said life is a feast, another wise man said life is a fast. One man said life is a paradise, another wise man said it's a prison. I say life is death.
The question here is very pointed and maybe it's very personal, Maybe it's very painful. I have been spending so much time busy working, after publishing my first book, Sound of Pain. I am trying to keep busy because I lost everything. I feel so incredibly nake. I desperately wished I could have the right people around me and then the worst of it hit since the death of my mother. Living months-long nightmares for me. So much time trapped alone.
What am I talking about, It is 3 weeks I have been in Tampa visiting Chase and Alisha. 3 really rich weeks of everything that I have been looking at. creating a sense of community of belonging making friends of stimulating conversation about God and life. But still, I don't know what is ahead of me or the direction that I am supposed to go. I feel like I have lived a very full life so far but I feel that the art of living requires us to ask questions about ourselves. So obviously this has been a bit of a confusing and I'll admit a little bit of a turbulent period for me because I am doing a lot of questioning. I have made it as far as I have by going after what I love and now my heart is telling me to explore this New path.
This new avenue, and I don't have it all figured out but I am working on it. I know a lot of people panic at this point where they question everything and they want to make a big change. I am a little bit in that place right now but I have faith that everything I have done so far has led me to this point and that things are going to unfold as naturally should. Sometimes it does feel a little bit like the plot has been written already or like at least the big plot point.
Finding inspiration and artistic overlapping in everything is at the core. It’s elegantly displayed on my Mood Board, my daily record of inspiration. What I am realizing is that starting a Youtube channel seems to be a great idea at such a time to tell you the story of my life. It is a life story. I’m also looking forward to traveling to Nigeria and Ghana this year and creating work on the ground.
