Happy Anniversary my dear. Has it been 2 years already? Love it and love this for you. You are such an inspiration.

I am here for the leaf motif on the sour dough. A++. Ironically, I’m up baking a pound cake as I read your newsletter.

Love the summer apparel designed and creative by Meeks-Green. Let your wife know I think the artwork looks amazing.

A running vest, it’s official, you’re official. Tashay=Runner. Looking forward to your September goal.

Love you.

My love! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your hobbies inspire me too! Hopefully some day you can teach me how to self-draft and put in a zipper! I'm intimidated by making pants with a fly but I'd really like to learn. Also waiting for your next play 😉

Btw - not running, but I did knit as I marched this spring in the Hand’s Off march.

That’s awesome, PK! I’m always impressed by folks that can walk and knit; I have to pay attention to every single stitch.

Totally okay to be a running knitter who does them separately! Like a running doctor who we hope would do their thing separately. :-) Sending tons of go get'em your way!!!!

I’m so very proud of you and your accomplishments. Whenever we make up our mind, that’s all of us to do something. It can be done in Jesus name. He will give you the strength and the motivation to keep on keeping on. Just by reading all your accomplishments, I’m will do better, with helping myself to follow some of my dreams and goals.It’s great that you realize now at a early age to accomplish some of the things that you want to do . There will be no regrets in life. I’m at the end of the road and there’s still so many things that I wanna do and I regret that I didn’t have enough confidence to do them do them at an early age Earlier

Thank you, Aunty! You've accomplished so many things in life already, use that as proof that you can do anything else you'd like! I can't wait to hear what dreams you'll chase next. So long as there's breath in your body, there's still time.

You are KILLING it. First of all, happy newsletter bday. Second of all, excuse me, handmade pants AND a capital-A Art shirt by someone you love AND the whole combo looks great together? That is a top-tier artisanal outfit 🌟
