Good morning! I made it to 50! As I sit back and reflect especially on this last year I've surprised some by not letting bad things that have happened be negatives but positives. That's has a lot to do with Thrive Zp actually. It's allowed me to be able to.make better choices and in turn help others do the same. And for me to put the Zp logo on my prosthetic speaks volumes and has others asking me about it! If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything. Zp is open to EVERYONE just reach out to me or Thrive Zp and you can take that fork in the road! I also reflected back on my family. Like I said family isn't always blood. These kids who have become adults have their own kids but they still call me " baby Carl" which I love! And they tell me their lives we're better because I was in it! They see me as their Uncle and I'm proud of it! They helped me become the person I am and I needed them as much as they needed me. I thank them so much! I wish the world had a little piece of what I have it would make a difference. So as always motivate and inspire someone it could be life-changing!#thrivezp #thrivewithzp #zpchallenge #zpstar #zp_challenge #dougmcmillon #walmartradiodjs #walmartwayneboro #sparkkindness #sparkwellness #madeitto50 (at Walmart Waynesboro - N Liberty St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFeXMDzAhEM/?igshid=1fgy6opbxagp1

Sorry I've been busy getting back into the swing of things. Tomorrow makes it a week since I've received my new leg and it's coming along. "Don't adapt to the energy in the room influence the energy in the room" which means to me don't ever settle be one who encourages change. Latosha Smith I like that and I'm running with it! My thoughts and prayers are with some that I know that have surgery and you've got this! And I tell everyone never be afraid to ask "are you ok" this is suicide prevention month and you never know what someone's going through and you might be the one to make a difference. And as always motivate and inspire someone today! It could be life changing! #thrivewithzp #zpchallenge #zp_challenge #zpstar #dougmcmillon #walmartwayneboro #walmartradiodjs #walmartworld #sparkkindness #sparkwellness #30daystorise (at Walmart Waynesboro - N Liberty St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7fHfTghbN/?igshid=1a0imhepl17lf

So good morning! Hope everyone is well and blessed! Yesterday I saw Surge's post about putting on your socks and shoes and me being a recent foot amputee I responded that I only have to worry about putting on the right one. I put in there about the fact that if I can make light of my situation because my situation doesn't own me. It just reinforced that I have made peace with my situation and look at it as a positive. I'm not hurting anymore and that's a true blessing! And I've had others, so many others reach out to me and tell me I motivate and inspire them and they tell me what they're going through it's awesome! And I tell them we'll get through it! This is just another journey that I've been through and I'll take it one day, one better choice at a time. It gets better you just have to believe. If you let negativity in you defeat yourself from the beginning. I love Zp. I love the empowerment it has given me and reaching out to others is something I love to and will continue to do. Do you know I'm a preacher's son? Sometimes it comes out! My hope is that someone gets something positive from this and if you're crying it's tears of joy! I also want to extend my condolences to Alexis and Bri their mother Dena passed away and she asked me to be their Godfather when they were born. I love them both and I'm proud of them and I haven't kept in touch like I should but 3000 miles isn't a excuse. Take care everyone and motivate and inspire someone it could be life-changing! #thrivewithzp #Zpstars #zpchallenge #zp_challenge #walmartradiosjs #walmartshares #SparkKindness #dougmcmillon (at Walmart Waynesboro - N Liberty St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEWPLu-A_fJ/?igshid=7k4n2o26at90

I may say this too much but motivate and inspire someone it could be life changing!#thrivewithzp #Zpstars #zpchallenge #zp_challenge #dougmcmillon #SparkKindness #socialchamp #walmartradiosjs #walmartshares (at Midlands Prosthetics & Orthotics) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_3If9Aeeb/?igshid=fpmugw1mlflt

My heart has a lock without a key, and I'm hoping for you to come to me, make me whole I'm broken when we're apart, the weight of that lock on my heart , I feel incomplete without the love that is you, you're my kryptonite I'm helpless and don't know what to do, your pretty face and lovely smile, just sad because I haven't seen it in a while, you'll always be my lighthouse to guide my ship to shore, you've rescued me and so much more, so bring that key open up my heart, and I'll do my best to keep us from having to be apart.

Good afternoon! So now I've been to the prosthesis and got cast for my prototype! So hopefully I will get that back in the next week and adjustments made and they'll make my prosthetic! They told me I could get a design put on it and first thought Taz! But I thought about it and was talking to a fellow Zpsters and told her I wanted to put Zp on it. And this person means a lot to me because they're going through a lot as well and she said I was motivating and inspiring to them which meant the world to me. She said yeah! I want Zp strong as she suggested but I don't have that on fabric so I'm going with Zp Better Choices. I want to give acknowledgement to a program that has changed my life and I know it'll open up conversation with people and I always keep books with me so I can possibly change others lives. If it wasn't for me continually doing challenges I wouldn't have the mindset to get through losing my leg know that I can. To get through physical therapy and surprising those who thought it was going to be a struggle. Zp taught me to believe in myself. And this with everything else going on in the world. I'm going to keep on Zp and encourage and motivate others because I believe in what it stands for. As always motivate and inspire someone today it could be life-changing! I know 61 challenges in and the 61st is as exciting as the first! #thrivewithzp #Zpstars #zpchallenge #zp_challenge #dougmcmillon #walmartradiosjs #SparkKindness #zpster (at Walmart Waynesboro - N Liberty St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjkFzOAXx4/?igshid=7cj3glf7fkmr
