You know what I say, another day new drama! I became victim to a hacker. I don’t know how. I don’t know who. But the reality here is, it happened and has brought Facebook to disable my profile and a suspension on my instagram due to my accounts being connected. 

I’ve pulled a lot of efforts out and I am waiting on responses. The hard reality is, I may never hear back but I also won’t sit back and do nothing. Time to move on. I am writing this post because it’s not something I want to wait to tell you guys. I want everything out there…but I am not mad nor am I shocked. It wasn’t personal. I am annoyed with Facebook and Instagram though and I will never use their platforms the same again. 


Okay back to the main point


It feels like a clean slate for me. I have clearer direction after the experience and battles I’ve faced which makes it easier to communicate my message more so now then ever before. Some may think social media was my selling point when it never was about that. My blog is my safe space, my selling point and my career hub. And I own this. It’s all mine. 


I had over 20,000 followers on instagram. And yes, it’s not that important and that doesn’t sound like a lot compared to the bigger picture but for a guy from good ole Scranton it was a win and something I am still proud that I was able to accomplish. I don’t value myself based on my social media stats but the truth is it became a role, one of which I played well. 


Even though I showed my real life and the moments I live which keeps me connected to people I personally know and those from afar. There were times I would catch myself saying, “wait this isn’t what they want to see,” so I never shared it but if I was being true to myself I would have shared it regardless because it is me being ME. It became more of a project rather than what I always intended it to be. It feels like being seen but never truly seen at the same time. I mean I won’t ever stop sharing the way I do and I won’t change who I am but in the meantime I am going to take this experience and truly embrace the positive side effects of it because all the signs are appearing to me.


While things get sorted out I am going to keep doing what I do best but one thing I will never do again? Put the amount of time and attention I did to my social media. All of those efforts are going back to my blog and other things. Everything happens for a reason and I am excited to see what new adventures are yet to come.


All the love. Enjoy your weekend, 
Paul 

As the seasons' change and the adventures of life unfold we never know what’s awaiting us around the corner. It is up to us to try and make the best of what it is exactly. As I write this the birds are singing and beginning their day as I am doing the same. Before we begin I would like to say I hope all of you are staying safe both mentally, spiritually, and physically during today's climate. It has been over a year since I wrote a post on here—for a good reason of course. I wanted to fill you all in on everything while hoping to give a message of hope during such times. If interested just keep on reading. 

I have my hands in many different projects: novel series, memoir, music, my column, social media and blogging—there are other things I am brainstorming but let’s stay focused on what’s important…my writing. As I sat in front of this blank document, well, let me rephrase, as I was laying in bed thinking of what to write my ideas began to flow so now I’m sitting in front of this document writing as I type. It’s almost midnight which means it’s going to be a long night for me. I learned my lesson on not to promise a set of posts because I assumed I would have them all written but I don’t. Please forgive me…ha-ha! My head is in so many different directions that it’s time for me to tie down and focus on my BOOKS but part of me can’t abandon my blog…like ever! Continue reading to see what I am opening up about in this post with tips on how to help when you find yourself dealing with negative people. 

We live in a digital age and I vibe with that! By the looks of it many others do too. Social media has become a big part of our life no matter what generation you are from—and a lot of people even make money because of it. Growing up in the social media age came with its pros and cons. The older I get the less I care for it yet can’t stop being part of it. In this blog post, the first to start my new blogging season, I am sharing my thoughts on social media from past to present and sharing behind the scenes of posts I upload to the world.

 I've announced a new blogging season slated for a September release that will include 5 blog posts. In this post I've rounded up all the previous ones that were released prior. A lot has changed since I released these. It's been sometime since I took the time to really focus on my blog giving everything that was going on but I feel happy to be back. Look forward to you guys reading everything that is coming and connecting with each of you in a brand new way. 

​Life is full of celebrations. From holidays to even the tiny things such as a friendly gathering. The task at hand in the very beginning could be daunting—having so much to do yet no time is one example of thoughts that may occur. In this post I rounded-up some of my favorite essentials to having a stress-free time from beginning to end of planning or helping plan in your next great event.

This week something was brought to my attention: Toxic Masculinity. After been giving an unexpected piece to work on for the magazine I write with. I began reading about it which lead to me having a coming to Jesus moment. This mindset in people has been the root to all the pain, suffering and self-esteem issues I’ve ever faced in my life from childhood bullies all the way to where I am currently by both men and women. Here is what I currently have to say about it because I’m just getting started. 

​I remember when I first began about 6 years ago, I was on this non-stop train of promoting myself and sharing content—photo shoots, quotes, poetry, articles, graphics, social media, music and of course posts. I haven’t been active as much on my blog or social media in general for a lot of reasons. Nothing dramatic. I took some time to myself away from my career. Also, I’ve been enjoying some peace and quiet…please, does that even exist? If so give me the directions. Ha-ha! I wanted to make this post today to kick off the new season of my blog. I'm sharing what’s currently going on and what’s up ahead for years to come! 

 What's up guys?! I hope you're all doing amazing. I miss you. ​If you've been following me you know I've spent the last two years working on my weight and hair. You know figuring out what made me happy and feeling even more confident when I enter a room, pose for a photo or a selfie. This summer I was able to reach my summer goal weight! I'm 5 pounds shy of my major goal of 155.

​So...hi everyone! It’s been a minute since I’ve officially posted on my blog. Been busy working on stuff and allowing inspiration to take its course. I have a batch of new blog posts coming this summer season as some of you may have seen if you follow me on the social media. I decided to write a post filling everyone in on what’s currently happening in my world and what’s on the agenda.
