    Hey guys!  So as you may know, there was a major hurricane that hit Lake Charles, Louisiana head on.  It left behind some SERIOUS devastation in its wake.  In life, there are storms and trials we go through. Some are small and some rock us to our core.  Just like a boat in a storm…

  • A Message On Boldness

  • Keep the Fires Burning

    What’s up guys!  One thing about me is I LOVE FIRE!  I’m obsessed with fire. I have always been obsessed. My brother and I used to build fires together all the time.  Come to find out, it was a symptom of my autism.  People with autism have obsessions. Some are obsessed with people or tornado…
