"The tools you need to do great, amazing things are sitting right in front of you. You’re probably using the same tools to read these words. All you need is an idea and some elbow grease. You already have everything else. The distance between idea and execution has never been shorter."

Here’s an outtake from my CwG shoot I did with my good friend Nichole Otte.  I’ve been knowing her since junior high and I must say she has really grown up to be a beautiful young lady, both inside and out.  Check out her interview here: CwG- Nichole Otte

LORENZO DIGGINS: THE THINKING MAN, THE ESSENTIAL MAN

The Motto

Do it NOW…Make corrections later.

"It is very important to embrace failure and to do a lot of stuff ‒ as much stuff as possible ‒ with as little fear as possible. It’s much, much better to wind up with a lot of crap having tried it than to overthink in the beginning and not do it."

“The motivation for me was them telling me what I could not be,
Oh well,
I’m so ambitious,
I might hit two sisters,
Hey im on a mission
No matter what the conditions,
Forget the personal issues
When you been what I been through,
Hey if you believe it,
Then you could conceive it.”

Yesterday I had my first experience on the grill- let’s just say I won’t be entering any grill-master contest anytime soon, but my hot dogs were pretty good for a beginner. 

Moment of Clarity.

I just had a creative breakthrough, and now I realize that I have been complicating things all along.  Thank you Jesus for this beautiful moment of clarity.
