#LameThoughts: Balancing Act

I hate sometimes that I get so hype in the moment and fail to pace my efforts. My goal for this month is to find a balance of it all. Combine the effort with some substance to bring on greater meaning. It is not enough just to do something. The goal now is to do it well and in a leave a lasting effect on those who partake. It is not all about numbers or results. Sometime you touch few, but you do it in a manner that will leave an impression and be tickled down to others. I'm saying this as far as business and life. You are what you put out into the world. And if you don't think to act tactfully then life is simply one great big instinct.

In this year, I hope to create habits of success. I want to make things happen and let my work speak for itself. I don't want to feel like I have to sit in one spot, or do one specific thing to gain attention. I would like to be able to step away, diversify my approaches, and expand on the experience. I want to be a life learner, always having multiple outlets to fulfill the same passion. #LameThoughts

Thank You #TeamLame

I wanted to give another thank you to everyone that went to the site yesterday. We have officially and successfully launched LAME Clothing Project and our online store at www.lametoday.com. The numbers we did were great. I could not have done it without my #TeamLame. My Clark Atlanta University family, my artist affiliate family, my high school squad. So many people looked out, and posted and reposted the link on all the social networks. I am super appreciative of all of you. The LAME Motto Tee is a hit already.

Yesterday was followed by more great news. We have secured a venue for out February 24th launch event in Denver, CO. The event will be sponsored by Vitamin Water Zero, in collaboration with Timeless Classic Entertainment. The event will benefit the Denver East High School, Michael Thornton Scholarship. We want to bring the entire city out. We have so much love for our supporters and we want to bring some life to the line. 

#TeamLame continue to support the line, spread the word. This year will be awesome, I can already feel it. As long are we continue to push towards Living Ambitious through Meaningful Existence, great things will continue to happen.
