As with anyone I have my struggles, but all in all, my life is great...so no, it wouldn't be hard for anyone to walk in my shoes (unless you have
trouble keeping your balance in heels )....

I have been told by others that I was dealt a pretty bad hand...
I believe that with God all things are possible... I'm pretty sure that things could be alot worse...
I count my blessings and keep it moving...

My earlier yrs were rough, some of my college yrs tough...now..not so bad..pretty normal..but hectic...
I say if anybody can handle my mommy schedule, wife schedules, and workout habit....they'll be alright...generally and relatively happy..intimacy
fulfilled...good but crazy azz lover & insane companionship who likes to tickle somebody and make 'em laugh, most extended family lovin' 'em too
protectively.....generally content...spiritually confident that there is something Greater Than Oneself out there guiding one's steps and spiritually
pickin' 'em up when they fail or fall....life being overall humbly and appreciatively "happenin"... flaws and all........
I can't complain...

My life is not so much hard as, well, complicated. As I've said, it's complicated, being Bronze. Any person that's going to walk in my shoes has
to be ready to tread carefully in some unusual spots and meet some unusual people -- and wear a lot of hats. But that person will never be bored, and
will often be very happy accomplishing things for self, family, and for Black folks in general.

I think its demanding being me. The responsibilities are endless. I have responsibilities stemming from being professionally primarily a property
developer which ensure that i am in my office at 7am and that i usually head home around 7pm. I have a large extended family and my commitments to
them would be taxing to the average person. I still wouldn't exchange this life for anything else. I'm married to a fantastic woman, i have an
amazing four year old son, i'm in great health, i'm financially beyond what i ever dreamt i'd be in my youth and i'm content. My childhood was
just plain difficult though, but that chapter is done.

Challenges I'm facing head on: a mother diagnosed with Alzheimer's and working daily as a community organizer. Both a difficult in ways I haven't
even digested yet. But I promised myself that I would "keep on keeping on".

Yes...dealing with losing all of my immediate family members before the age of 26 ain't no happy picnic.
Lost mom at 11 she was only 36....big bro died a few days before my 21st birthday he was only 29...just buried my day last year he was only 58. My
mother was the glue that held her family together so when she was alive I was surrounded in love but when she died everyone went their own ways. They
say don't question God but I cannot help but to ask why?
"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it
means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the
challenge exists to make things better."

I feel like my life is hard, and I feel like only a few could walk a mile in my shoes...with the right tools.......
From being homeless......to being a domestic violence survivor...to being....disabled for 4 months..and still recovering.... to taking care iof my
mother who had major surgery......and being a single mother....it's hard....but with the right tools......I made it!
Loving me... 
Compromise, to a certain degree becomes surrender.... |

No harder than what I've made it for myself.

Technically, yes it's hard.
My father is struggling with cancer, my mother's clinically depressed and my sister recently passed away, so I've been in a state of grief for some
time now.
But there is the gift of memory, of my sister's words: "We are young and Black and free".
When I remember her and her bravery and sweetness, I know my life is not so tough after all.
When I look into my fiance's eyes, I know I'm truly loved.
Never alone, never forsaken.
Forever hopeful.
In loving memory
of my sweet genius sister, the Duchess.
