Mike Colon Atlanta Workshop

I really cannot say enough about the workshops that Mike Colon puts on. If you have the chance, I recommend this workshop, or any from Mike. He is so approchable for someone with as much experience and success. Even among 20 attendees, he is still there to help you take your skills to another level. The conversations during the lecture times were very valuable.

I have to say though that one of the best outcomes of the workshop was meeting all the cool folks! It is great to be able to find people to connect with all over the country and I have to say that some of my favorite people (personalities) are from the south. Not only is there sweet tea in abundance but there are sweet people! Even though the workshop took place a while back, I am still in touch with many of those that I shared time with.

I hope stil to attend a longer, intensive workshop. I think having all that extra time with the other attendees would be great, 2 days just was not enough!

There were so many people involved and below is the list but I want to personally thank Reggie Joiner for his hospitality. The location was top notch, and Reggie, well, is the man. His generosity was and is greatly appreciated. Thank you Reggie!

Some behind the scenes images

Grace gets to see fireworks at Disney Land

Grace has been to Disney Land a few times now. Heck, I’d go as far as to say she is a pro! But until this past friday, she has not seen the fireworks. So I joined the fam at the park for some roller coasters, ginormous turkey legs and capped the night off with some fireworks. Now, just to keep is more chill for the little one, we stayed outside the park. We just found a nice spot and plopped down!

Zoomars Petting Zoo with Aunt B

Every now and again, My Aunt Barbara (Aunt B) comes over to visit. When she gets with Heather and Grace, they have so much fun. They often go to Disneyland together, to Grace’s classes and sometimes, just hang out. I love seeing my aunt because:

She has great hugs
She has a cool relationship with Grace
She loves showing Jordan that she loves him
Being around her makes me feel good

This Monday, she came down with her friend Yuko and her son Ryosei and they joined Heather and Grace at the Zoomars Petting Zoo in San Juan Capistrano. I pretended that I was too busy to join them and I showed up a little later with camera in hand to capture some of their fun!
