At Last ....


Yesterday was one of the best days of my life.

LaDonna and I had a small wedding ceremony at Newman A.M.E. Church in Pontiac, MI at 7:00pm. It was a really intimate ceremony with some of our closest church family and relatives.

LaDonna and I had promised each other that years ago when we first started to study wealth creation and how to develop the lifestyle that we wanted, that we would first build businesses that would pay for our wedding, pay for our dream home, pay for our children's education and then get married.

We have been working extremely hard to develop our two businesses: Timbuktu Internet Cafe and Pure Joy Pediatrics.

More than that, we also built a couple of other businesses along the way, Third Eye Legacy, Third Eye Property, Third Eye Technology, Timbuktu University and even Green Life Services. We've been volunteering throughout the community, in the churches, at health fairs, and mentoring children and adults of all ages. We lived our lives with the utmost values and tried to set the best example for everyone we've come into contact with.

Over the past three years, we began to study self-development. In that study we learned how to set goals (principally from Brian Tracy and Zig Zigler), we learn how to create a vision of our best selves (principally from Tony Robbins), we've learned how to build businesses and Master Mind alliances that would make us wealth (principally from Robert Kiyosaki and Michael Gerber) and we've even learned how persevere in the face of adversity and obstacles (principally from Jim Rohn and Wayne Dyer).

We've gradually become life-long learners, 21st century learners, professional investors, informal mentors, parental figures, community leaders and much more.

But, what we've found more than anything else in this growth process is a deeper love and appreciation of each other for who we truly are.

LaDonna recently had to take a job with Children's Hospital because it was an excellent opportunity pay off some of her debts and invest that earned income to create more passive income.

Recently all kinds of opportunities have been developing for Timbuktu Internet Cafe as well. Some of the friendships and strategic partnerships that we have built over the past three years are almost amazing to me. We've developed our inner circle and expanded our outer circle. We've also learned a new appreciation for our environment, our community, our family and our own health. We've changed our diets, our exercise, our expressions, our topics of conversation and in some cases our circles of influence.

I'm soooo excited about the bright and wonderful future that lies ahead for us because of all of the incredible seeds that we have deliberately planted and some of the unconscious seeds that we also planted along the way.

I love this woman more than anything and I know that we will continue to grow, learn, expand our realities of what's possible and expand our lifestyles to live the most wonderful life together imaginable! I'm ecstatic and deeply in love. And the harmony of true love resonates deeply in me.
