My Journey With Skylar

This is a first. I am writing my blog from a phone. I love technology.
However, I am typing so slowly it is so funny to see. I guess that is why you are reading it on Tuesday instead of Monday.

It's been a few weeks that I have my new phone and I am enjoying every bit of it. There is a learning curve of course but so far so good. I love watching my now favourite show "The Shark Tank". My wife said to me that I have become addicted to the show and I think that she is right.

Speaking of my wife, she has now started college and she is really having fun. I haven't seen her this serious and focused and determined. And the results are showing. I am really proud of her.

With my wife going to school Monday to Friday, I have to rearrange my schedule accordingly (waking up at five in the morning is now a piece of cake). I am spending most of my day time with our daughter Skylar and I am having a blast.

I have learned so much about our daughter because of the time we spend together it's not even funny. It has come to a point when my wife is so amazed how I can put her to sleep in a heartbeat while in the past it was so hard to do. I know what makes her laugh, the kind of music she likes and the food she likes to eat and when (unlike her father who can eat anything anytime).

Through the whole process, I learned that making spending quality time with our loved ones as our priority can be a great thing. Most of the time we are so busy trying to make a living that we take our relationships for granted.

I believe that many relationships can be healed just by simply spending time together.

Moral of the story? Do you want to spend quality time with your loved ones? Just buy a new phone and you will be getting my blog quicker.

Always a pleasure

My Journey to my wedding

Where do I start? I don't really know. As I am waiting for my flight at Kigali airport, with tears in my eyes, I am thinking about the last few days. There are no words that can explain what I have experienced in this month of December 2010. As Phil Collins said, it's another day in paradise. The person who said that words are powerful was so right. It took a few words from my then girlfriend, now wife (are you kidding me!!!!), to start a series of events that led me to this moment. She just said: “Honey, this long distance thing is killing me”. Having been in a couple of long distance relationships, I knew what she meant. This time, it was different. I had to do something, otherwise, this relationship would end up like the other ones. I had promised myself to do whatever it took to make this one work. As I hung up the phone, I thought I had to move mountains. I had to find a way to meet her. Originally, my intention was to visit her in July 2011, however, this felt like a cent

My Journey to my meeting with Bob Proctor

He is a hero of mine, I have studied his material for years, I had met him once and at that time he even signed one of the books he gave to me. But, spending three hours in an intimate setting, hearing him calling my name, him talking to me from a few feet away was just a dream come true. Bob Proctor is simply a genius. He has been studying the laws of success for over fifty years, but he has a simple way of explaining things that I found myself saying “wow” all the time. I have listened to his audios, read his book and saw hundreds of his videos. It has come to the point where I can finish his sentences before he finishes them. But seeing him live telling his story is another thing. Call me crazy, but I just believe that I will end up working with him. I don't know how or when this is going to happen, but I know I will. It is with the same belief that I know I will one day meet Michael Jordan and Nelson Mandela (being with Pathe'O few weeks ago made me feel I am not that far

My Journey to a meeting with Gandhi

You must be thinking that I lost my mind when I say that I met Gandhi. Don't worry. I am doing fine. I met him only in a story that I heard. Do you want to hear it? I know you do. So I will tell the story Long time ago, there was a lady in India whose son was eating too much sugar. She tried so many times in vain to ask him to stop eating sugar. After a while, she thought that Gandhi could help. She took her son to Gandhi and begged him to tell him to stop eating sugar. He carefully listen to the lady, and then went: “Please come back in two weeks, I will be able to help you” Two weeks later, the lady came back to see Gandhi. The Mahatma looked in the young boy's eyes and told him: “Please stop eating too much sugar”. That was it. The lady could not believe it. “Do you mean I had to wait two weeks for you to ask my son to stop eating sugar” she said. “Why couldn't tell him in the first place?” Then, Gandhi simply said: “You see madam. Two weeks ago, I was still eating sugar
