if they say you can’t, you can…

Well, here it is on the eve of one of the biggest event that I take part of and I still find myself doing what I know – that has been shown to me that always help when I start getting those jitters in life – I write. What may look like a mass to some becomes the focusing point that helps me stay on that beam of life. There are so many people that I want to thank, tell them that I love them, explain in words that without them – none of this would’ve ever happened. So thank you, know that I love you, and for loving me when I couldn’t love myself. Hope to see you at the event – but hey, there’s always the one coming up in August. Hint, hint…

Prides Bride

Pride leads the procession down the aisle.

Leading the way that rules Prides life.

Looking down at the end was Prides Bride.

So, so beautiful. So bright. So mine.

As Pride gets closer – passing the pews – the smiling faces of, The Wants, The Greed’s, and the Mores.

Taking that deep breath and fluffing out those peacock feathers so all could see.

“This is intoxicating!” Pride thinks.

“What excellence. What creature on this big green world wouldn’t want to be in Prides shoes?” He thinks to himself.

As Pride comes ever so closer to his Bride.

How proud Pride is knowing that this is it – this one next step – brings Pride standing side by side to the Bride.

“Why won’t Pride look at me?” The Bride thinks.

“Isn’t my self-esteem good enough?”

I see all these eyes upon us and that look of, “They so want to be me stare.”

Good the Bride thinks.

“Let them have their eyes of wants and greed.

Those eyes of fear and more.

They could’ve been here but I beat you all.”

Lifting their heads up to hearing.

“We are gathered here today, to see these two join together, a union unlike any other.

A beginning of a life full of unending causes.”

As the crowds of eyes stand watching the happy couple parade back down the aisle. “Look at them all.” Pride thinks.

“So full of want and greed.

So full of fear and more.

Good I‘ll take them all.”

As Pride looks on.

“Why won’t Pride look at me?”

“Even those of the crowd evade their eyes from me, what’s so wrong with me?

Haven’t I given Pride enough?” The Bride thinks.

– All the Kings Houses’ –

new stuff…

well folks, new business cards, new brochures, even a shirt. getting things together for the events to come.. so blessed..!

Marbles

Did you ever have one of those days that just seemed to go on and on and on?
Not in the bad way or even a good way, just a day.
As I head upstairs to get ready for work, that’s when I noticed something just didn’t feel right. Not in the, “Oh he’s got the touch,” kind of way.
Although if you talk to some of my friends they’ll be more than happy to tell you that I’m touched, but anyways. It was just a feeling.
My mentor would say to me most likely – “Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.”
I have, well for the most part I have. It’s work in progress, right.
As long as I’m doing the next right thing, which this brings me to that part of my life where doing nothing or sometimes having to make those decisions that at the time seem wrong.
As I finished up and headed out the door to start my work day that’s when the phone goes off. Now living in the times that we do and now having what we call a smart phone, which I have to tell you, makes me feel not too smart at all, I notice that the call was from family.
If you’re anything like me – just that word alone should sum-up how I felt.
Fight or flight, take your pick. For a split second I thank to myself, should I answer it?
That’s when I can hear my mentor saying, “Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.”
I have, well for the most part I have. It’s work in progress, right.
