S E N I O R.

in just a few short weeks, #2, aka Lucy, Lu, Lulu, Luswanda, will begin her senior year.

i’ve done this once already and i’m still not ready.

if you know her, you know she’s a force. She’s smart. She’s all about justice. She doesn’t back down, but she is teachable. She’s a party and a half and brings light to every room she enters. Which is the meaning of her name, so we chose well.

She had her first college visit and she could be a hog. Or a bear. or some other mascot we haven’t identified yet. But nonetheless, she’s leaving soon.

One of the parts of parenting that i have come to both love and hate is the leave. We want them to leave. We NEED them to leave. Not for us, but for them. But it’s hard.

Em and i have raised some amazing humans. Not rooting our horn, but celebrating God’s grace in the process. Sure they’ll probably need therapy at some point.

but what they have to offer the world is something special.

i have no doubt that Lu will pick the right place to further her educational career. And even if it isn’t flinging her green and gold afar, i will cheer her on with every ounce of my being.

Looking forward to how it all unfolds over the next several months. She is a gift to whatever institution she selects.

Here we go, senior year number 2!

sicem….

V A C A T I O N.

travel has always been a priority for em and me. for some, it’s houses or cars. others, it’s clothes or retirement plans. the important thing is to have priorities. and one is not better than the other. it’s YOURS.

a few years ago, someone came at me for being on vacation. he said “all you do is travel. i haven’t been on a trip with my family in 25 years”.

first of all, we don’t always travel. secondly, clearly travel is not a priority for he and his family. and that’s completely fine.

for us, we budget for our travel. we save. we have miles. we don’t use debt. why? it’s a priority.

we rediscover connection with each other. and ourselves. we see cultures and sights and experiences. our kids know how to pack a car and navigate an airport.

last night our little tribe sat around the dinner table and shared photos from our trip. we laughed and talked about what we liked and didn’t like. and we dream about future trips…some attainable, others super luxurious and probably out of our reach. but it’s so fun to dream!

i’m glad to be home and back at work. and i’m dreaming about the next trip, whenever that might be.

i’ll never have a mercedes. but if you do, i would never shame you. i just want to ride in it! 😂

what are your priorities?

I S L A N D S.

we have sung this song on 6 continents. years of perfecting our craft at karaoke.

nervous? never. excellence? always.

we use mics. or spatulas. or tongs. it doesn’t matter. we do it for the people.

last night was no different. our friends asked and we delivered. my mic was a bit reminiscent of bob barker and the showcase showdown. but still worked.

lean into your space people! do what you do best! my friend slays salt n pepper. my other friend slays “meet me in montana”.

what song do you own? serious offerings only apply.

😂

this pic is from a few years back. but i just discovered it and it communicates us so well.

1) i’m much bigger than her.

2) we are side by side. it’s how we do in marriage. it’s how we do in work. it’s how we do in parenting. there is no hierarchy. my voice is not any greater than hers. we are equal and congruent.

3) if you could see our faces, you’d see the pleasure we have in watching our kids have fun. there is nothing better as a parent.

4) this woman makes me take risks constantly. whether it’s for my own health, our health or the memories our family and friends will make, she is the catalyst. and i could never thank her enough.

she is my queen. she is my Everest.

and i will gladly keep climbing.

love you .mills. thank you for loving us.

this is my friend mimi. i would say that she works for me at but i actually work for her. SHE is why i said yes and continue to say yes to our work.

mimi is our survivor advocate and case manager. i like to refer to her as our “erin brokovich”. when i think of her story and all that she has overcome, SHE is the words of Jesus: “i make all things news!”

today, mimi shared her story with the beautiful people of park lake baptist church in waco. and while i couldn’t be there in person to cheer her on, i’ve heard she crushed it! and i’m not surprised. she may be 4’11”, but her voice and power is fierce.

i’m inspired on the daily by this lady and you would be too! our work is hard, but it’s also fun. watching mimi take her power back and use it as a force for good is just one of many things that make it fun!

keep going, mimi! you are changing the world!

A C C E S S.

our 8 week holistic training program for women transitioning out of the commercial s*x industry returns this fall!

our previous class made it 4 weeks in and then the world shut down. we’re excited things are returning!

in September, 6 courageous survivors will embark on a life changing journey. by the end of the 8 weeks, she will know that she can do hard things. she will know that she belongs. and Lord willing, she will have landed a living wage job!

we need some of you to be a part of this journey with her. we need ACCESS sponsors! tuition for this program is $4300. not only does this cover all materials, licenses and fees, but we provide a living expense grant for each student to assist with childcare or any other living expense so that they can focus on their self work.

this truly is a life changing experience and a worthy investment.

if you’re interested in being a part of sponsoring a seat at the ACCESS table, call, text or DM me. 254-855-9830.

P A R E N T S 🙄.

sometimes they really know how to screw things up.

today, joined his cousin Vann’s team in Tyler for a one day tourney.

they won. hands down. beast mode.

in the championship game, the opposing team just couldn’t understand how they were getting beat like drums. the big corn field post who towered over everyone just couldn’t keep it together. he lost his mind. slamming the walls. growling. drooling. he had the best WWE face!

i mean cmon brother!

last few seconds, we have the ball, pass to gus, he passes back and big baby proceeds to tackle Gus with the best O line hit you’ve ever seen from a 6th grader.

problem is, this is basketball. and the hit, which i think he was trying to screen, was uncalled for.

game over. we win.

i’ll save you the profanity soaked smack talk that ensued. by them.

the parents.

i, being the calm and quiet large man that i am, simply walked across the court to ensure the safety of my son. meanwhile big baby’s mom is cursing the refs and then it happened…i engaged.

kindly i said, ma’am, we have it on film…your son unnecessarily trucked my kid. let’s move on, game over.

🤬🤯🤬🤯🤯🤬🤬

and then, with the kind energy of the 8 i am, i simply encouraged her to exit the gym immediately.

guys, we were on the threshold of a full on parent brawl.

over what? 6th grade summer basketball.

that’s what it’s come to.

i’m happy to say, we have thoroughly debriefed the experience with significant laughter and tall tale details.

but man, parents, calm down. do some yoga. hit a v**e. do something so you don’t embarrass yourself over 6th grade basketball.

M A F I A.

one of our many traditions on this annual camp out of ours is the evening circle. with fire. without. either way, we circle up the chairs and sit under the amazing texas sky with cicadas serenading us.

last night was the annual game of mafia. the art of storytelling meets who dun it.

it’s a social experiment really. and it tends to unearth who’s mad at who because when your the mafia, you get to kill someone in the group. if your a kid, it typically is your annoying sibling or the parent who told you “no”. if your an adult, well, same. 😂

there’s something about sitting under the stars with your people of all ages.

in the circle, everyone’s voice is equal and equally heard. we don’t do “kids are to be seen and not heard”. we learn from our kids probably more than they learn from us.

tonight? we’re talking the bestseller…”The Alchemist”. we’ll probably lose the young ones, but we’ll see what happens.

here’s to our own personal legends!
