Do what you love, make the world a better place

One of the percussion players today said "do what you love to do, it will make the world a better place." Being here in Brazil has really shown me that money and material goods don't always bring happiness. Our tour guide thanked God for blessing him multiple times. Was he rich? Not one bit. But he talked of the relaxed atmosphere and mindset in Salvador. He told stories of leaving work and going straight to the beach or to the hillside to watch the sun set with a drink in his hand.

He loves his life, not because his drives a shiny car or because he lives in a fancy house, but because he does what he loves and surrounds himself with great people. I have been blessed with being able to do what I love alongside the people that I love. And for that, I am eternally grateful.

Brazil Day 1 Teaser!

Well I don't have much time, after what seemed like a flight that would never end, we finally got to Brazil and I immediately had the camera out taking pictures (and video now!) We even got to get off the plane on the tarmac instead of going though the tunnel like most boring airports!

The computer is about to die so I am just going to upload some pictures. But, I am having an absolute blast and it is a challenge to take a BAD photo here. It's just too beautiful.

Homecoming Week at KSU!

 Well it is that time of the year again. And while Kansas Kennesaw doesn't have a football team just quite yet, who said we can't celebrate the beatiful (and smart) young ladies that call Kennesaw home!?

I took a few photos of the young ladies on court representing the Phi Mu Sorority at Kennesaw this week and the pictures came out phenominal if I do say so myself! These ladies definitely made my life easy!
