I remember it was a Friday when the Dr. told us there were complications with the pregnancy. They said they could not find the embryonic sack. The Dr. said they had no other choice but to terminate the pregnancy. I remember praying with Reina and trusting God for a miracle. I remember all of our friends and family coming together to pray for us on that Sunday morning in Homestead Fl…

Today we’re celebrating a miracle… We’re celebrating Zion Max Santoyo’s 2nd year of life! It has been an adventure! Zion is such a huge blessing. His smile keeps me going, his curiosity keeps me dreaming huge dreams, his energy keeps me in shape, his courage has strengthened me, his unconditional love has taught me how to be a better husband, father and friend.  Happy Birthday Zion, Papi,Mami and your big brother Diego love you so much. We are so thankful to God for the gift of Zion.  So glad  you are part of the crew Zion! I Can’t imagine our lives without you! May you grow up to be the man, the leader, the friend, the artist the husband and father God created you to be…For now just be 2 and live up!

If you could tie a ton of balloons to your house and float away, where would you go?

Zion gave me the Bird.

It’s so easy to get stuck in the  world of routine.  Getting by to make it another day, another week, another month. Sometimes I have to stop myself and disconnect from everything in order to remind myself of the work that still needs to be done in pursuit of our dreams and passions and the reasons why we are here in this season.

As I wrestled with the idea of leaving my hometowm Chicago in 2007, my Dad’s words were the deciding factor. He said, “just close your eyes and go”. The only way I was going to find out if there was more to my life and my family was by taking a chance, and I did.

Yesterday when I picked up my boys from school Zion met me at the door of his classroom and showed me the amazing work of art he made. In “that moment” It felt as if Zion’s simple art piece spoke into my soul.  There is always more! There is always something new to be made! There is always a brand new day!

I am learning to stop measuring my future by my past. I am learning to stop comparing myself to who I was 5 yrs ago, to who I am today.  I am learning to think with a fresh approach, work with a blank canvas, and work my a$$ off for the life of my dreams, the life God designed for me and my crew to live. We can talk all day long about how screwed our past is, and why we don’t deserve _______________,  and for what!?  But we can talk about, where do we go from here?

So today I remind YOU! Your routine is temporary, but you gotta work for your dreams! Your past is done and over with.  You were created for more than that. So because of that I give you the Bird! It is a new day.

Has anyone given you the bird lately? Tell me about it!
