On this last day of my gratitude exercise I would like to thank you. Yes, you. I’m super thankful to all of you all who have read my emails, blog posts, watched my videos and purchased some of my products. I’m also thankful to those of you who reached out and provided me with an […]

I love music. Just love it. I listen to all of, except Death Metal. Josh Barnett introduced me to it one year and honestly I gave it a shot but I just couldn’t get with it. But I do love music. My favorite genres of music come out of the Caribbean. I love Soca, Zouk, Dancehall, […]

I love the game of chess. I wish I had more time to play. As a matter of fact, I’m playing now with the kids in my summer camp. See –> https://www.instagram.com/p/By52orWJR2m Chess allows you to understand strategy, movement, patience, inside control, emotional regulation and understanding that every game contains the elements of an opening and a […]

I wear glasses. Sometimes contacts but… mostly glasses. Now… I have two pair. One that I wear and the other that I keep on my head or on my shirt so that I can read stuff up close. It’s quite an irritating process but when you get older, you have but a few options. I exercise […]

Being a father is my highest calling and one that I don’t take lightly. It is an experience and an honor. I thank God for allowing my dad, Rufus Ferguson, to serve as an exemplar in this space and I am grateful to be able to celebrate with him today. I am also thankful of […]

If you’ve never competed you don’t FULLY understand stepping on the line. (And there are levels to “line stepping.”) There is something that gets developed and built when you step on the line. Most people who live a life of not stepping the line don’t understand what stepping on the line is like. And thus they […]

Last year I was having a conversation with my friend Azizi and I said something negative on the phone and she stopped me and said, “That’s the wrong confession! You need to change that.” And I immediately checked what I said, and spoke something differently. What many of us don’t realize is that the things […]

I’m not Catholic, but I’m not going to let that minor issue stop me, I’m gonna confess anyway. So, here it goes. (deep breath, followed by and uncomfortable gulp) :-/ I’m……a……..JUNKIE! That’s right. I’m a Junkie. I’m an addict and I have been one for years now. During Memorial Day this past May, I backslid […]

When I was growing up I used to like Alexander the Grapes. It was a kind of candy that I used to buy from off the ice cream truck and from the “candy lady’s house.” If you grew up in the south, then you know about the candy lady’s house. Nobody ever knew the name of the “candy […]
