"Destiny is a Matter of Choice"

We always have choices in life. Our individual choices determine our destiny. On any day you can find people that make bad choices and create problems for themselves. Others have made better choices and the results show in their continued success.

Every decision you make determines where you will be in the future. Good or bad theses decisions are a road map of who you are and what is important to you. How you are remembered is a tally of all that you have done and no one will care why! Keep good will in your heart and reach out to others who need your friendship. You will get more in return from doing what is right than what feels good or sounds good in the moment. God bless you on your journey and may you surround yourself with good people with good hearts too

Surrounding yourself with people that have integrity is a powerful tool in life. When you have integrity, you live by your choices and your life will pan out better than most. You will be able to sleep nights and never have to look over your shoulder. Choose to have integrity. Choose to stand for something and to treat everyone the way you would like to be treated. If you do this, you will be fine in the eyes of your friends, family and God. "It matters"

People, Friends and Others that are important to me and have shaped my life in one way or another.

My parents. Dad was a man who's word was something you could count on. If it wasn't right he didn't put himself in a situation that he would have to explain his actions. Mom, always guided by her faith and commitment to doing what is right.Their desire to see their children succeed was paramount in their lives.

Siblings: Each of them have had an affect of my life. Regardless of our differences they have had an impact on my life. (don't have a lot of digital pictures of some family members)  

Unfortunately, I don't have any electronic pictures of my two older brothers! Shy!  The oldest is Roland. A very compassionate kind man, usually the life of the party, a joker and a dancer. Perfect guy to take to a wedding!

Also a thinker and someone that can make things happen. He has always been some one that knows how to enjoy the simple things in life.  Given the struggles he has undergone he has managed to keep his integrity and make me believe that anything in life is possible.   

Regi takes the # 2 spot in the family lineup! The only time he will ever take second place since he is absolutely the most competitive in the family and in life. Whether it is sports, games, a conversation or business he is the big dog in the game. You can be sure he knows what he is talking about since he always does his homework.

Balance is his most admirable asset. Family is first and work is a strong second. He loves what he does and deserves everything he works for. My only regrets are not having enough time with him growing up. He could have been a bigger influence if I let him.

  Denise "Doc" Our resident Shrink! Always a kind ear ready to help make you feel better about your life struggles. Aside from that she IS my little sister and watching out for her as we grew up was privilege. What is most admirable is this woman has never looked at anyone and seen the bad side. She always has hope that they are good inside until proven wrong.

Jasmine, her daughter is very lucky to have such a good mom. You are a gift to each other. Love you sis.

Marc, the youngest of the 5 and the best dad ever. He is a level headed well tempered and kind man. Thoughtful just begins to describe the heart and soul of a man with his kind of character.

Having lead his life by example he has affected many lives in a great way including mine. What I miss most was our one-on one conversations about "anything". I have the utmost respect for him.
