One of the things I love most about Facebook is the “today in history” feature, otherwise known as a Facebook memory. Post a picture on Facebook, and on the anniversary of that posting, Facebook will drag it up and put it on your timeline reminding you of what you were doing on this day a […]

Day 2556- Shayna’s 7 Year Angelversary
Day 2465- Glorious
When I’m searching for a title for my posts, more often than not what comes to mind is a song title. If you’ve ever seen Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, you have some idea of how my mind works. A thought comes up, followed by a song. Thanks to the magic of Apple Music, I can now […]
Day 2461- I Will Not Be Like A Typical Teenager
We started Treasured Locks when Shayna was two years old. The girls were the inspiration for the business and both worked for us, for a while. Shayna loved leaving little notes for us all over. She would sneak into my office and write notes to me in my notebooks I used for jotting down notes […]
Day 2433- 100,000 Downloads
It’s day 2433 since Shayna passed away. Just about 1,000 days ago I launched the Grief 2 Growth Podcast. I started on a free platform and switched over to a more professional platform at the end of 2019. When I switched, I had about 5,00o downloads that didn’t transfer over. Just a few days ago, […]
Day 2408- 50th Anniversary of Pop’s Passing
Three days ago my little brother Brandon turned 50. It’s been fifty years since we brought him home from the hospital. I still remember the day. Today is the 50th anniversary of Pop’s passing. Dad’s father had been sick and bedridden for a while. So, we stopped by his house on the way home with […]
Day 2352- YouTube Channel Growth
I’ve spent the last day and a half spiffing up my YouTube channel. I’ve finally hit the marks to apply to monetize the channel. Thanks to a partnership with Shaman Oaks’ channel, a couple of my videos have gone a touch viral. Views of those videos are skyrocketing and my subscriber base is going along […]
Day 2260- Kayla Crosses (A) Finish Line
Twenty years. For the first time in twenty years, we don’t have a child going back to school this fall. It all started with Kayla starting school just before she turned five years old. In April, she received her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati (UC). We thought her educational journey […]
Day 2191- The Sixth Angelversary
Today is a day like any other, except it’s not. Tywana is back to work full time now. But, she has the day off today. The weather is eerily like it was six years ago today. I started off the day with my 7-mile walk. It was a three 3 mile hike back then. As […]
Day 2145- Mothers Day 2021
This has been an interesting Mother’s Day. I realize I am fortunate to have my mother still here, given that I will be 60 in a few weeks. Most people my age don’t have both parents still alive and healthy. Sadly, due to COVID-19, I haven’t physically been in their presence since 2019 despite living […]
