Almost a year

It's been about a month since I've last blogged, I do apologize to all my loyal followers. If you haven't noticed I definitely blog when I'm in grad school and although I should be paying attention, I have no desire to mentally exert myself right now since I spent the entire weekend in grad classes. So much has happened since my last post but I will attempt to address some of those things.

Shortly after my last post, my life drastically changed. I fainted in Walmart and woke up in the hospital. It was my heart condition acting crazy once again. I went into an emotional and physical breakdown for about a week and a half. In and out the hospital and not completely communicating with anyone, I secluded myself from everyone. Refused to answer my phone, refused to talk to anyone and simply spent two weeks trying to get back to my normal self. What I learned from this? Life is much shorter than people realize. This is the 6th time in my life where I feel like I've been so close to death I could have reached my hand out and touched it. Everyone is so caught up in their problems and issues that they don't realize how privileged they truly are. During my time recuperating, I realized who was really my friend and who cared about my existence. God reveals many things to you in your time of need.

Fast forwarding, I was able to spend time with one of my favorite Big Brothers celebrating his birthday in Atlantic City. Its always fun to be around my LB and my prophytes who I care so much about. I wish we were bringing in MORE brothers that genuinely care about the fraternity and its brothers. So often we bring in shirt wearers, rude brothers, and simply young men that aren't brought in right....yea I said it. Quote me on it. I digress.

I was also able to see one of my closest friends off to Africa. He is going to Morocco for two years as apart of the Peace Corps. It was a wonderful weekend in NYC where I was able to spend time with my daughters and my neo Jahsee. We got tattoos together! It was popping.

Now, we fast forward to whats going on right now. I'm really pleased with some "half moons" I'm talking to at the time. I think they are going to make wonderful members of my frat. I just hope they are not just the typical "I'm focused cuz I'm going through membership intake..." and fail me after. I would hate that.

Professionally, I am FOCUSED. Formula 22 is about to be officially corporate. Slogans have been discussed, books and research have been purchased and in progress and my business partners are aware of the pending budget. It's about to be a wrap.

I want to end here because I plan to write a lot this week to get you guys up to date, but I want to shout out my best friend. He sent me a text Sunday morning that was straight from God. It was Matthew 5:43-45---a verse regarding loving you enemies. It couldn't come at a more opportune time because this weekend someone individuals had me on their mind and felt the need to talk about me through a public forum. I simply laughed it off because I am much too mature and focused to entertain people who are either one of two things. Jealous or completely in love with me and can't have me. Grow with me, learn with me, live through me.
