  • If Someone Wrote A Book About Your Life…Would Anyone Want To Read It?

    I often ask myself this question all the time…”if someone wrote a book about my life would anyone want to read it?”  In light of Junshien’s recent post about “Who would of thunk it?“    It got me thinking again about the course of my life until this point.  Like many others who graduate they aspire to do something with their life or with the degree they get.  That just simply isn’t the truth and in fact most people don’t do anything related to what they major in in college.  I spent my first year of college probably having too much fun with absolutely no direction as where my life was going.  What does a 18 year old really know?  For me, not much.  A year later I transferred to UC Davis and spent the rest of my colleaugic years there.  Along the way I was a engineer but found out I sucked at thermo dynamics and that hardcore mathimatian stuff, yah I said stuff because I don’t even know what its about, hah.  Eventually I became a bio major, particularly clinical nutrition.  I studied that partly because I had a passion for a healthy life style and eating right only to find that bio just wasn’t cutting it for me.  I made it through all my chem classes, ochem classes, bio classes and a number of other sciences classes only to find myself on Academic Probation.  Yah I said the AP!  Not Advanced Placement, O no no!  Academic Probation.  I was not happy with anything I was learning.  Being young and naive I had been drilled with the preconceived notion that the only way to make money, a living or be successful was to become a lawyer, doctor, engineer or whatever people thought was prestigious!  I spent 4 years of my college years still looking for answers, still searching for a bit of happiness other than what the world told me or what people told me only to find myself trapped in the corner with a hopeless feeling that I would never graduate from college and I would look like an idiot. 

    Until one day I met a gentleman who challenged the status quo and aspired more out of life than it had to offer.  As a transfer student he immediately immersed himself in Intervarsity Christian Fellowship where we first connected.  ”hey whats up, my names Steve.”  Reply: Junshien.  Junshien?  Now theres a name I know no other man has (well probably not but I don’t know too many Junshien’s, do you?)  My first impression of the guy was his hair and boy o boy you should of seen his hair back in the day!  Its classic I tell you and I have pictures but for his sake I wont post them haha! Eventually in our last year of college we lived together along with some crazy ass guys but boy were they all a blessing to my life in more ways than I can say!  I remember staying up late having conversations about girls but most of the time about the future and what it held for us. Don’t worry I’m going somewhere with all this. =)  Little did I know God would use Junshien’s life to speak numbers into my life.  I had been on a road that seemed like it was taking me to a dead end and as long  as I was in college and not in the real world I was ok.  I figured it was hopeless until I changed my major in my 4th year of college! To most people thats crazy but people like Junshien who made bold moves of faith to doing things he loved I saw something for once in college I had not seen in most students.  And that was pursuing something they BY CHOICE really wanted to major in.  Slowly the light at the end of the tunnel seemed a lot closer than it had before.  So my 4th year of college I became a Economics major and to be honest with you it wasn’t all that easy but I enjoyed it far more than anything else I had studied in school.  Some like to address me as the campus wore (pardon my language) since I was in majors all over the board!  It wasn’t until 2005 did things really start to unfold for me.  I had more solid grades, I actually enjoyed what I was learning; I simply had a change of perspective but it was influenced by one person.  Only one person.  God speaks numbers to use through others.  It doesn’t end there either.  I remember always having conversations about the future with Junshien about jobs and boy do I remember all the long sighs of boy do most peoples life seem to suck after college!  And boy does getting a job and working for the rest of your life look dreadful!  O how I agonized at the thought of working the same old job because everyone says a “job is a job” and you just have to face reality.  We’ll throw a few more sighs in there while were at it.  The thought of what people tell me just seems life sucking and discovering a passion just didn’t seem to make itself apparent until I picked up a camera, a Canon DSLR to be exact! Using a point and shoot, Junshien had me help critique images he had taken while we were both poor college students.  At that point I never thought much of it and to be honest I hardly picked up my Minolta G500 point and shoot, haha! 

    So I continued with school, Junshien graduated and moved back home and things begin to unfold for Junshien as I continued in my last couple quarters to graduate.  As a new chapter of life approached I was convinced that whelp, I better start looking for a job(which I still am) and boy there doesn’t seem much more to that.  I always kept tabs on good old Jeeves777  and slowly I began to see though his life testimony as it was unfolding before my very eyes.  It’s like someone snapped me out of it.  I remember telling Junshien of all the jobs and things I was looking to do and I remember him always shaking his head and trying to knock some sense into me but I just couldn’t see at the time still.  However, his testimony never seem to give up on me.  After countless months went by something was definitely changing for my buddy Junshien and it hasn’t been until recent months have I been able to see and been exposed to so much more potential that this life has to offer.  I had attended Scott Robert’s photoshop and mentor workshops and for the first time something different sparked in me.  Something snapped, I don’t know what it was?  Prior to the workshop Junshien and I were always advide about talking about photography but at that point I still couldn’t see any potential in myself to do things great myself.  Junshien, handed me a audio after a conversation we had the night before the wedding of a close friend of ours and little did I know a series of events would change the course and perspective of my life.  For the first time in life I felt like I had direction, I could set goals, I could be inspired, I could be changed and I could also help others to see.  Once I was blind, but now I see!

    God is simply amazing!  I go from one point in my life to not knowing where I would be going with my life, to meeting a person that would influence my life, to becoming inspired to seek the things you love in life and do something with it.  So whats my college degree good for so far?  Well, thats remained to be seen.  Maybe it will come into affect at one point in time but for all I know, my degree is starting to collect dust and I want to be a wedding photographer, hahahah! When I was 5 I told my mom I wanted to be a artist, nows my chance.  So why not give it a shot?   Now thats a story to tell and well the story doesn’t end here my friend.  Not for me, not of Junshien and not for anyone who aspires more than this life has to offer.  But nothing is worth a penny or of any value if it’s not centered to glorify God!  If someone were to write a story about your life, would anyone want to read it? 

    Until next time, thanks for reading.

  • 32 People Is Never Justified
    Warning: sensitive content (if you intend on reading please read it carefully or else you could misunderstand me)

    “I saw bullets hit people’s body,” Sheehan was quoted as saying. “There was blood everywhere. People in the class were passed out, I don’t know maybe from shock from the pain. But I was one of only four that made it out of that classroom. The rest were dead or injured.”

    Since when was killing 32 people justified?  Or how about even 1?  Even the mere thought of killing someone shouldn’t be a justified act.  For the past 2 days America has suffered the loss of terrific, talented, gifted people all at the hand of a mad mans rage against social standards, economics differences and what…a whole list of other factors investigators and people will conclude to.  It has not only directly affected the families and friends of Virginia Tech but the rest of American suffers the pain and sorrow.  I share this pain with all of you at VT! My heart hurts for the victims, victims families and so on.  I am all the way on the west coast and yet this incident hits me so hard I almost sit here teary eyed processing what it was like being in the dorms at 7am hearing gun fire or the students who’s lives were taken in a place where violence should never happen or the students who barricaded the door so the killer could not enter or how about the students pouring out of the window of the second floor for their lives.  O my heart cries at such a catastrophe.  

    What is more upsetting too is that I HATE the fact that the guy was Asian.  Particularly South Korean.  But an American still!  A guy like this makes for a bad name for the Asian community not only in Virginia but it affects the Asian community as a whole around the nation.  Some of you might not agree and thats fine but I think it does.  When any other ethnicity other than Asian views us most of the time I would say we are generally viewed as Asian and not by our specific Asian heritage.  So to the public we are not always viewed as Chinese, Korean or Japanese, Vietnamese etc; we are view as Asian just like how people don’t categorize white people into German, Irish, etc.  Yes we do of course but to the general eye of what people SEE you don’t normally say hey a Irish person.  Instead you say a white person.  Same thing goes for Asians, to people who aren’t Asian they might not view us by our specific race!  So in a general sense, this horrific incident at VT directly affects and is associated with all of us because we (or I) am Asian.  What sort of ramifications could there be?  I can’t say exactly but I could think of a few.  Perhaps any racial backfire?  Sure, its could happen!  Is it right?  NO because we live in America where we aren’t judged by the color of our skin but by the content of our character!  But for many of us as humans, we know that doesn’t always hold true initially, especially if you loved one is gone!  Seriously, put yourself in a parents shoe from VT, if you ain’t Asian Id be hard pressed to say you wouldn’t initially be upset with Asians.  It’s not right but lets face some facts, history speaks numbers of what people have done to the Japanese Americans.  I’m not saying that will happen and perhaps we have learned from our mistakes but there could be some racial backfire.  I’m not saying it will happen but I present the idea!  We all know this topic has been all over the media, news radio, talk shows, news prints etc and it has spread like a wild fire across the country and other parts of the world I’m sure! Whats the truth of the matter I am not sure since we know who controls the media and who controls talk radio!  My heart is heavy with such news and as we follow the media and news to learn more of the reason why such a terrible thing has happened there almost seems like no feasible answer as to why, why why?  It’s almost senseless if you ask me! 

    Quotes from Youtube…(not used to support my thoughts but to show what people comment publicly)

    “azns… dont mess wit dem” – anonymous

    the response…
    “seriously, everyone needs to stop with putting each other down this is
    about you so maybe your racist maybe your not, but honestly no one
    cares, this video isn’t about racism its about a tradegy, so for once
    think about something more important because everyone fighting over
    their opinions doesn’t solve much does it?” – anonymous

    7am 2 people are dead!  2 hours later the body count is 33 including the psycho killer along with dozens upon dozens injured!  I mean seriously throw aside what you have heard these past couple of days as ask yourself what the hell is up here?  ItS evil at its best work!  What bedazzles me even more is that there have been previous bomb warnings on campus prior to the shootings and whats up NOT evacuating, canceling or warning students about what had happened at 7am.  I mean 2 people were shot and presumed dead at that time and yet 2 hours later people are dying due to lost of communication or lack or awareness!  At 9am there were still students in class rooms, wtf?  They should not have been in class period!  What went wrong?  Why wasn’t the campus alerted right away?  I know you’ve heard these questions over and over and you’ve probably thought about them yourselves.  There could of been so much that could of been done to prevent or limit such a catastrophe.  Thats another thought…Americans are always so REACTIVE!  We are almost NEVER PROACTIVE!  We only respond to what has already happened and we hardly do things to prevent things from happening!  Yeah you might say well how would you know something like this would happen?  Well, I’ll tell you…remember what 7 or 8 years ago…Columbine?  That enough evidence of a previous massacre to be more proactive!  Now we’ve got the largest Massacre in the history of America.  I hate to be so negative here and it’s truly not a reflection of myself at all but I guess I am frustrated and heart broken like many other Americans! 

    From what I’ve read and listened to VT and Blacksburg is a relatively family oriented and learning more on the conservative side yet in the letters and threats from the killer stating things that “you brought this on yourself” is a truly a sign of mental disorder.  I mean the guy was diagnosed with depression and had been on medication.  He wrote a play that was so disturbing that he was reported to the schools advisory and I believe he had even seeked counseling for issues!  The kid was clearly a loaner, didn’t have many friends and was said to be the type who would wear glasses indoor or even dark days which doesn’t necessarily justify a killer but a lot of these things are not unfamiliar to us! These characteristics are obviously abnormal.  The killer according to sources hated rich kids, people who were more well off, maybe had a better life than he did from a economic stand point or whatever the reason was but it just doesn’t add up to why still?  Looking at the demographics of VT and what the general region emphasizes its not like he’s around an environment from Beverly Hills 90210 where people live a more flashy life and where peoples life styles are distinctly notable! 

    America cries today but the spirit prevails through such a tragedy.  My prayers and condolences to the victims and the victims families and friends of VTU.  As a nation we unite through our sufferings and go on never forgetting the ones we lost along the way.  We stand strong together and my prayer is that we don’t push away from each other but to embrace the value of life!  To Virginia Tech…may peace and a place of learning once again coincide with one another. 

    Profiles of victims in Virginia Tech massacre
    It’s a long profile list! =(

    Comments & Thoughts Welcomed! 

    I apologize in advance if this has offended you in anyway, BUT it is a free country! =)
    In no way do I promote racial profiling in the voice of this post!  I love all my brothers and sisters of all race, backgrounds, social and economic backgrounds etc.  In no way do I attempt to demean or demoralize any such race or ethnicity!

    It’s not about me? or if you’re Asian living in America!  And it shouldn’t be is what I am saying ultimately!  It’s not about race or ethnicity I know.  It’s about a horrible tragedy and remembering the loved ones we lost! I hope among a dark hour that LIGHT will shine again and something good will come from all this destruction!

  • The Power Of Sharing


    Photo taken by JUNSHIEN & processed by me! =) And yes thats me!

     

     
    Playing around with different logo fonts =)

    Sharing has a interesting magic of its own.  Sharing something with ten people allows you to share an idea to someone while you get to hear it ten more time.  Sharing includes sharing with your family, friends and so forth.  When a person shares something with someone else, two things happen…the audience could be transformed and so might the speaker.  If you share with someone else they could be transformed, you may have dropped in at the right time.  This could be their moment or revelation in life to opportunities they never saw before.  We are all looking for transformation, we are looking for something more than this life has to offer.  Many of us desire to be good at what we do but not everyone desires to be GREAT.  Sharing makes room for more but to make room for more we need to pour out into others so that we can be filled with more.  When you share and pour out into others it likely you will receive more. If you don’t believe it, just try it and see what happens!  A close friend of mine SHARED something with me that changed my life.  To say it revolutionized my thinking and my perspective on life might be extreme to say just yet but at one point I was blind but now I can see!  And that was all through the power of sharing.  Sharing with one another our life experiences, accomplishments, thoughts and ideas can impact people in ways we may never notice.  It’s like the gift of Salvation…it is something good but don’t you hord whats good to yourself do you?  OF COURSE NOT, YOU SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE so that they too may know the grace of the Lord and be exposed to the vast opportunities that life may have to offer.  Only requirement of sharing is that you LISTEN!  You may not necessarily agree with people of course but at least give people an opportunity to share. A life or perspective change could be one persons voice you listen to away!  As human beings we often fall into the trap of what I call tunnel vision where you don’t see anything around you except for what is in front of you or afflicting you.  Therefore…expand yourself beyond your bubble and explore what life has to offer! Sharing is simply, it’s knowledge passed onto others!

    Job Update:  Well I’m not unemployed which is a good thing but finding another job has definitely been tough.  Housing markets are down in my region of California, taxes are being filed, the job market here is scarce along with many other factors that seem to be affecting my job hunt.  I swear I entered the job market at a bad time, others say I’m looking in the wrong places or Sacramento sucks haha!  You might ask…why on earth are you staying there or limiting yourself to this place only!  For me its simple, Family!  Some people may not have close family ties and this may seem like a stupid excuse but my family circumstances are very important to me and they are the people I love the most in life.  Is it easy?  No but it’s not an inner struggle with life but it is a difficult transitional period!  A couple other friends of mine in the area share my pain  and honestly I get frustrated a lot and it almost seems to dampen your confidence level but I’ve never thought of the option of ever throwing in the towel.  At this stage in life, I don’t really have that option and if I did have a choice, I wouldn’t anyways!  From what most people tell me, finding a decent job is HARD!  I don’t know one person who has told me finding a job is easy.  If you are that person, please message me and perhaps you could share some more tips with me and tell me why it is so easy!  I took a long 4 hour exam with the department of CHP but after reviewing what they demanded of me it could put a halt to my photography career for over a year and that…I am just not willing to sacrifice so I could careless if I even get the job or not!  I should get my results in a month or so so well see.  Fortunately I do have another testing for a accountant position and I hope I’ll do well for that.  If i score high enough I then proceed to an interview, talk about structure!  Well, thats usually how a lot of my job processes have been so far aside from jobs in the private sector.  The job search continues….tomorrow I’ll be meeting up with an executive for Stockman’s Bank to discuss opportunities, banking, investment banking and so forth.  I hope I learn from it and perhaps I’ll be networked to others for opportunities! 

    On a positive note, I join a small group at my parents church.  Seem pretty awesome…they are doing what they call “40 Days of Community”  not the same as “40 Days of Purpose” if you have done a study through Rick Warrens book “Purpose Driven Life” (Awesome book might I remind you).  Anyways, I am pretty excited about meeting some new people of different age groups, connecting with a community of believer which I haven’t had for sometime now since my transition from college to back home!  This should be an exciting change for me and I pray the Lord will bless me through it! 

    I read this on my mother’s desk calendar for April 10th.  She changes it everyday and here is what April 10th has to say…To pray “Thy will be done” should not be a attitude of passive submission, but a call to the whole nature to strive to do the upmost for the cause of God.  Simply powerful!  I need to revolve my life around this quote more! 

    Blessings to you all and thanks for reading

    Cheers,

    Steve

    EDIT:  I think I’m having monitor issues here!  I’m seeing different things on different monitors of my work.  My work seems slightly off, lighter in areas than I see on my monitor at home.  Maybe my contrast settings are too high at home?  Maybe I’m over reacting but something is off and I can’t tell which image is true!  I know which one I like more but not sure which one would be true (true as in if i were to send it to the print shop, would it come out as I see it on my monitor?) =P  I honestly think I have an issue with this.  I don’t think people are seeing what I want them to see!  This is bothering me a lot!  I need to resolve this asap!  If you notice something odd about the photos above please tell me because I don’t want you to just comment “o great photo” to just be nice or fear of giving people your HONEST opinion!  I like constructive criticism…it pushes me to become better! =) [the first image should actually appear slightly darker and the contrast and saturation should be up a tad too, but not seeing it on multiple monitors)

  • Everyday Is Easter

    Today we rejoice for He Lives!  Our very being is sustained by this very incident in history; the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Savior.  However, why do we only rejoice on this very day?  I understand its a day to commemorate that Jesus conquered death and LIVES but seriously ask yourself (especially if you are a Believer) why do we only rejoice in this day?  How many of you of us live everyday as if it was Easter?  Or do many of us live everyday like Good Friday?  On Easter day we celebrate Jesus resurrecting from His death but on Good Friday it’s really a day or sorrows and mourning especially Jesus’ disciples who left all they had in life to follow Him.  Good Friday was a day of despair and sorrow for many who loved and followed Jesus during his time on Earth.  Yet so many of us live in the perception of life.  Scripture depicts two disciples on the road to Emmaus as an example of how so many of us still doubt and do not believe even when the truth has been told and so we see it on The Walk To Emmaus…

     13Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem. 14They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16but they were kept from recognizing him.

     17He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”

       They stood still, their faces downcast. 18One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

     19“What things?” he asked.

       ”About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.”

     25He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26Did not the Christ[b] have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” 27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

     28As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther. 29But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

     30When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

     33They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

    Jesus Appears to the Disciples

     36While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

     37They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

     40When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate it in their presence.

     44He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

     45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 49I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

    The Ascension

     50When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.

    Why do so many of us live our lives like good friday.  We become so focused on the situation at hand we fail to see the big picture God has before us.  Despite Jesus’ promises that He would raise from the dead and send His Holy Spirit to be with us so many of us like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus don’t see beyond what is in front of us sometimes.  Our struggle, trials, sorrows or whatever life throws at us blind us from remembering His Promises!  In a world that has so many problems, chaos, war, violence and injustice there is hope and that hope lies in the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Easter comes once a year as an American/International holiday but to those who BELIEVE…everyday is a day to rejoice in the redemption of our sins through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.  Live each day as if it is Easter because He Lives.  Pray for those who are stuck in good friday so that they too might see the Glory of the Lord!  Praise the Lord forever more.

    PLEASE RESUBSCRIBE TO ME! =) I AM NOW SAPHOTO…SNGPIMPIN IS NO MORE!

    Warmer weather approaches California and yup its that time of the year again…shorts, t-shirts, beach wear and TRUE California attire rises from its wintery grave to meet the sunshine, blue skies, green lush and awesome colors of spring and summer!  We are entering my favorite time of the year.  I am totally a shorts, t-shirt and sandals kind of guy ready to hit the beach or lake at a moments notice!  I love warmer weather and more day light in a day! But before we jump into summer we can’t forget Spring of course! =)  70-80 degree weather is just awesome.  It’s time to rework my tan again hahaha and I can’t wait to start swimming again!  It’s serious the ultimate exercise, arobic, muscle toning and cardiovascular workout that you can stay cool in 24/7.  For me its a win win situation.  Working out has become such a bore to me that I don’t do it anymore.  I look for activities that involve higher level of physical movement in exchange for entertainment rather than running on a tredmill looking at a tv or waiting for the bench press!  BOOOOORING! hahaha.  Well, before I get off topic here I am happy the warm weather is here! =)  Bless you California!  After going to numerous cold areas this year theres no wonder why so many people love California.  Shoot, even 2Pac has a song about California Love, haha!  It is truly a great state to say the least! 

    Well if you haven’t noticed I have added Scott Robert Action to my photos () and its SIMPLY AMAZING.  Editing in the past had been such a chore sometimes especially when you have many photos you want to edit.  I enjoy editing to be honest because I am able to create something I think is beautiful!  Prior to using Scott’s actions editing had been a chore because it would take me twice as long to edit the image to what I desired.  Scott’s actions really enhance my photo work and cut down my post processing period by nearly half.  I love the fact that you can have great control of what you want the image to look like.  Scott claims to posses 7 Deadly actions and in my honest opinion they are pretty leathal! =)  So if you are serious about your photography and would like to spend less time editing and become more efficent with your time, post processing and add pop to your photos then I highly recommend attending one of Scott’s workshops.  Not only will you get the actions, you will learn a lot about how and why to edit but most importantly you will get a chance to meet a awesome and inspiring artist whose passion for photography, teaching and life are absolutely contagious!  If you would like to find out how to attend one of Scott’s classes CLICK HERE or you can contact Scott or Junshien directly.

    Check out my previous few post for photos using Scott’s actions!

    In regards to my previous post, I would like to thank everyone who commented, encouraged me, gave me advice or just took the time to read my post.  You are all an awesome support group and only if I could meet you all in person.  Maybe someday I will! =)  You all have amazing talents, stories and passions…I am blessed to be connect to you all! 

    Until next time, peace and don’t forget to count your blessings today!  We have a lot to be joyful about this Easter weekend!  PTL! =)

    Cheers, Steve
