About Me

My photo
Thomas Holt
Don't let the smile fool you, I grew up in arguably the worst neighborhood in our state, in a single parent family with 5 siblings. We had very little money, but a lot of love. Growing up without a father figure in that environment was tough, but God blessed me with a wise and loving grandfather to gift me with direction. I always say that God loves everyone the same, but He had to be particularly fond of my grandfather. I called him "Pa-Paw" and he had the extraordinary ability to summarize the mysteries of life, or convey the wisdom he acquired over years of experience, with a few simple words at just the right time. These nuggets of wisdom have been instrumental in my ability to rise above my circumstances and become the man I am today. My hope is to share with you, the wisdom and awe-inspiring words that shape my life as I strive to be a better me.
