Dawn's Daily Motivator

Let your enthusiasm show

Enthusiasm costs you absolutely nothing and requires no special skills. It is yours the moment you choose to embrace it.

When you do, your world changes. The problems turn into opportunities and the challenges become fields upon which you can create new value. Enthusiasm infuses you with a heightened sense of purpose. Enthusiasm provides you with a beneficial immunity against any setbacks that may come. Enthusiasm is contagious and it draws other people to you. Because when you're wrapped up in enthusiasm, it feels great. Somewhere inside you there is an authentic sense of enthusiasm, eager to come to life. Let it out and let it show. Allow enthusiasm to infect your attitude, and spread it to those around you. Delight in the feeling as it pushes you forward.

VA Beach Week: Ace High Pot!



The end of the VA weekend concluded with an intense game of "In-Between" and a couple of rounds of impromptu karaoke (don't worry, I won't post those pics, lol). Ashely, Dallas, Lindsey, and Dominique's girlfriend also chilled out before we all headed back home.

VA Beach Week: A Party fit for a King




With the backdrop of the beach and a million dollar home, it was indeed a party fit for a King. Auntie made sure everyone adhered to the rules (the elders eat first, no fun past 7pm, etc) and surprise guests included Auntie Thelma and Aunt Arlene.

VA Beach Week: Gone Fishing




Fishing seems to run in the family as Uncle O'Neal, Uncle Melvin, and Uncle Spencer discuss strategies. Later in the day, Uncle D joins the fun on the grill to prepare for Pops 80th birthday party.

VA Beach Week: Baby Love




Well, that was probably the shortest weekend I've ever experienced, but it was well worth it. The whole Peterson clan (and then some) showed up, and a good time was had by all. I'm dedicating today's post to the future generation. Pictured above are Adam & Noelle, Tre & Dallas, and Cindy's new baby girl!

The Griot


The past few weeks have been difficult for Andrea and I as we've had to cope with the unexpected passing of her father, Mr. Arthur Ferguson. He was a man of many talents, but he'll most likely be remembered for his passion of family history. I spoke to him briefly a week before he died and he was still full of excitement over the pending arrival of his next grandchild. I know his spirit continues to watch over Andrea and our family, and he will never be forgotten.
