2025 Kick Off

How good does it feel to write down a goal and actually see it come to fruition? Checking that box of, not  things to do, but things that are done. Whatever the goal, I feel a pep in my step, when I hit the target. I have actively set goals for decades now. It's wild to say that out loud but it is true. Over time I've made some outlandish goals and though I didn't feel badly about not hitting those in the given timespan that I set, I did learn that setting obtainable goals to keep the ball moving down the field was more beneficial than trying to accomplish things that require way more work and knowledge than I could put in or obtain at the time. That being said, I have written out my 2025 goals and had a wonderful closing to my 2024 with the edit and delivery of a feature film, Finding Faith. I look forward to sharing the news of where the film lands. This film was shot in the summer of 2024 with much preparation put in beforehand. I worked with my friend, Lazrael Lison, who was the writer and director. We have both been in the business for over 20 years and have much experience. Over the years we have collaborated on a number of projects and continue to learn and build with one another. I highly recommend teaming up with someone that you can trust in life for the road to success is so much more fun with those you love and who love you.

  11/16/2022 THE EVOLUTION OF CHARLES F. PORTER II Many words I've written were lost during the transition to this new site. I apologize to all that may have found inspiration in those words and I hope that the continuation of my story will serve as inspiration as well. For those who are unaware, in a nutshell, I have been battling cancer since my stage 4 diagnosis in 2010. I am still unaware of how long I had it while undetected. In 2011 I had a stem cell transplant and since then I've undergone numerous chemo treatments, an immunotherapy trial and in January of this year, I received a CarTcell Transplant. This too was a trial and I am happy to say that it was successful. After being on a waiting list, that was extended due to Covid, I was able to receive the transplant and get into full remission for the first time in six years.  Cancer is not who I am but it certainly has shaped me into the man I have become. Before cancer I was living a face paced life, working my way thro...

Who Is Choosing You?

I remember when I was told by my father that I would be lucky if I had five true friends in life. I was young. Twelve or thirteen, I was just old enough to think I knew it all but fortunately smart enough to listen and store the information. I trusted him and though the number of friends has exceeded his experience, I understand the sentiments. My dad went straight into the armed services at 18 where I took a more fluid and exotic path. One minute here and the next I'm there and thus I met more people who were attractive in mindset, character and of course, at times, physique. Over the years I've become quite the collector of great friends but ever more importantly those friends CHOSE ME. I have worked on myself since I can remember. Always checking in and trying to be a better person than I was the day before and thus making myself a more attractive candidate for friendship. I love my friends and will do anything that I can to help them reach any goal, traverse through any sto...

The Art In Sharing

 Remember the phrase, sharing is caring. Juvenile? How many of us have gone through something so traumatic that only those who have had similar events take place could console our sadness, fear and or pain? I know I have and in my time of need, I turn to books written, pod cast, works or art in any form to not only console me but to show proof that there is a way. A way to heal and to get stronger once again. A way to thrive and not just survive. We share our journey because others can learn and benefit from it. Thus sharing is caring. I was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2010. Since then I've undergone extensive treatment including experimental treatments. Some of those treatments are now FDA approved. My doctor once called me a pioneer as there have been many first. I am 335 post transplant and I am so grateful. Each day I journal my gratitude and love for life. I have a Never Quit mindset and surround myself in a community of love, passion, determination and t...
