We are honored to share a first look at our latest documentary: Pontiac–Roses Through the Thorns. From the very beginning, we discovered a theme that captured the soul of this city: resilience, like roses pushing through thorns. We asked Pontiac’s people four simple yet profound questions—about perseverance, lessons learned, new perspectives gained, and words of encouragement for those still in the struggle. Their answers were raw, inspiring, and deeply human. What emerged is more than a film; it is a love letter to Pontiac, a testimony of grit and grace, and a call to keep blooming through every season.

Named in honor of the great Odawa leader who once stood against empire, Pontiac, Michigan carries the spirit of resilience in its bones. From the whispering pines of native land to the roaring engines of the Motor City era, this place has seen rise, fall, and reinvention. Like Chief Pontiac himself, the city stands as a symbol of resistance, strength, and a vision for something greater—something still unfolding today through the voices of its people, the rhythms of its streets, and the dreams that refuse to die... Today, we’re bringing our cameras. 🎥 📸

Metta meditation is a classic exercise that cultivates unconditional love, compassion, and goodwill toward oneself and others. It begins by sending kind wishes to yourself—such as “May I be happy, may I be healthy”—and then expands outward in widening circles: to loved ones, acquaintances, strangers, and eventually to all beings everywhere.

Following tradition, this original song invites deep presence, inner strength, and a heart-centered commitment to peace. With each verse, the meditation expands in ever-widening circles—offering affirmations of clarity, flexibility, unity, and light. The goal is to soften the heart, strengthen empathy, and dissolve boundaries, creating a sense of deep connection and peace.

May it serve as a reminder that healing begins within, and radiates outward to bless the world. Today I am inspired by the realization: My peaceful, prayerful intention extends all the way in all directions as the LOVE that I AM.
