How I did it
It made me
smiley? 
How I did it: It couldn't have been done without hard work! First I had to disect myself and better understand myself. It wasn't about cleaning more or doing more chores. it wasn't about presents or being extra nice. I've become a better person by working at my core. Because of this, she is married to a better man. This silly goal was made out of a serious feeling I was getting years ago. After years of work and dedication to my mind, body and spirit..… Read how I did it…

Ok, alot has changed since the last time i wrote on this: I never moved, I went back to school, life, etc, so on.
She is 3 1/2 now.
I get to spend alot more time with her now and my energy level has been way higher since I’ve put some effort recognizing and fixing it. We have lots of fun!
but things were strange for a while there. Being a hero is about being a good man and a good father which i felt like i was doing. She disliked me though for a solid 6 months. it was very tough! I mean, life is easier when your kids like you. She snapped out of it one day, all of a sudden, and now we have a very cool buddy buddy (yet I’m still the authority) relationship. Things are fantastic & we are relating!
Also, going back to school was something i wanted to do for myself but it was also to set a good example for her. I’m going for filmmaking because i can and will make a living doing what i love!
She is and will alsways be my little girl. I’ve become a better person since i met her and feel like i am role model materiel now. Here’s hoping my wife and I can continue to provide a safe, healthy, and fun home for her!
Going to 2 next month! both of which i submit a student short: SICK THINKING. Nov. 1st is the Nor’easter film fest then Nov 16th is The Ruff Cutz film fest.
I’m excited… but a little nerve wracked.
