Love’s in Need of Love Today

June 30, 2019 By Nathaniel Turner

Love's in Need of Love Today

When I woke last Thursday, I was both overjoyed and heartbroken. June 27th is Naeem’s birthday which for me is a Federal Holiday – a day deserving of coast to coast pomp and circumstance. As such, I packed a bag, gassed up my vehicle, and began the six-hour drive to Pittsburgh for an extended weekend celebration with my National treasure. I’m ... [Continue Reading]

Stay Ready, Don’t Get Ready

Stay Ready, Don't Get Ready

Several years ago, I watched an interview with Will Smith, where he shared one of his philosophies for life. The Aladdin star said, “So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready.” Essentially Mr. Smith stated what I repeatedly heard throughout my childhood and expressed to Naeem for the entirety of his life – “always be prepared.” Don’t make ...

An Extraordinary Imagination Made Him Run Before He Walked

An Extraordinary Imagination Made Him Run Before He Walked

A month or so before Naeem’s first birthday, I was feeling a bit like a lousy parent. My son hadn’t learned to walk. Sure, like most toddlers Naeem could take a few steps on his own, but he couldn’t take many. Each attempt to walk began with him standing up confidently and taking a few short steps, but before you could blink your eyes, he would ... [Continue Reading]

November 24, 2017 By Nathaniel Turner

I Wonder, Are You a Good Samaritan or an Insensitive Bystander?

The other evening, I went to see Wonder.  Yes, Wonder!  The movie about the New York Times bestselling children’s book, Wonder by R.J. Palacio.  Although, it’s a story about a ten-year-old boy, it’s a movie that can be enjoyed by the entire family.  If you have not seen Wonder, I highly encourage you to do so. Wonder highlights several teachable ... [Continue Reading]

I’m Thankful For My Son

June 16, 2017 By Nathaniel Turner

I'm Thankful For My Son

As I entered the gym this morning, I shared morning greetings with a man whom I’ve had the pleasure of watching the transition from young man to grown man.  I first met this gentleman man more than ten years ago when he was an out of shape teen. He is no longer a teen and he is no longer out of shape.  Today he stands as the epitome of great ... [Continue Reading]

Do You Know the Seven Deadly Sins?

May 24, 2016 By Nathaniel Turner

Do You Know The Seven Deadly Sins?

Do you remember The Seven Deadly Sins?  I do.  They are pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth.  I was first introduced to them by my grandmother.  If memory serves me correctly, that first introduction preceded my grandmother’s attempt to get me to behave. I know that this going to come as a surprise to some of you but I ... [Continue Reading]

It’s Not Too Late…You Can Do More!

October 24, 2015 By Nathaniel Turner

"It’s not too late…you can do more!”

Although it’s been a few weeks since I last posted, I can assure you that I haven’t been slacking.  Nope, I haven’t been sitting on an exotic beach sipping on fruity drinks with little umbrellas.  Nor have I been traveling with my son continuing our father-son tradition.  And as difficult as this might be to believe, I haven’t attended any FSU home ...
