With the guidance and experience of my wife, today, I was able to work my first real estate deal successfully! I'm pretty proud of myself and more proud of my wife. The saying goes "the student is a direct reflection of the teacher." I am humble enough to see that my wife's wisdom in this area was something I needed to draw from, something I could use my adaptability and listening skills to strengthen the partnership and MAKE THE DEAL!
I feel like this is the beginning of a very successful future in teaming up to make a lot of great deals!
Here's to WINNING.

It. Is. Done.
Graduation. The day I had imagined for many years. The answered prayer to a leap of faith that I took 5 years ago when I left a job a loved and challenged myself beyond what I ever could have imagined. The opened door to my family's financial stability. The ending to a story of struggle. The day came and went and I'm so thankful to God for allowing me to see it!
I did it!
The day - though it didn't materialize like I would have wanted it - was actually so much more beautiful and awesome than what I had conjured in my mind. It was met with so much excitement, a small bit of anxiety, and pride in my creation. I had my favorite coffee beverage to energize my early morning commute to the convocation center. And from then on, I rode the beautiful high that accomplishing a huge goal brings. (I later sat with a full bladder during the program - but that's not really the point. Lesson learned. haha)
There are some experiences in this life that I feel like I fell into or agreed to take part in to the pleasing of others. But Pharmacy was a conscious choice of my own. It was a bold step in the direction of what was uncomfortable, just out of my reach. But I decided to put my fears aside and trust that if I did my part, God would provide increase for me where I was weak. Sure enough, he has carried me through the tough times!
I left every ounce of myself in that pharmacy school. Every bit of energy. My time. My talents. My essence. I made sure that when granted an opportunity to chase my dreams I would pay it forward by exhausting myself in every aspect of that experience. There was not one organization that I wanted to join that I wasn't a part of. No research opportunity, conference or health fair went without my involvement. I literally did it all!
I have NO regrets.
Maybe that's why I feel so fulfilled within the realm of pharmacy. Because I emptied myself out and was given so much refueling in return. I feel prepared to come into my own as a clinical pharmacist. I feel confident in my clinical knowledge. And I'm excited to give so much of myself to the profession.
Here's to making so many solid connections over the years. To meeting the most amazing, dynamic, professional, intelligent individuals on the planet.
Make a spot for me in the annals of time. Because I'm about to make a difference in this world!
I present to you all: Mr. Johmyrin J. Johnson, BS, M.B.A., PharmD
Watch out!

An Ode to the Prince
I think about you.
Frequently.
I want the best for you. And I've given you a name that represents strength and courage alongside care and compassion.
My first heir. My legacy.
To be honest, I still don't know what that means. But none of that matters.
I want you to be highly educated, wise beyond your years, an advocate for those who are less fortunate and prolific beyond comparison.
You'll have your mother's heart for people - entrenched with my love for the plight of humans. We want you to save and practice patience. Be kind but opinionated. Giving but diligent in your practice. Happy but in control of your emotions.
I want you to be strong. Because I'm strong.
You're the big brother to future creations. A lot rests on your shoulders. But I have full confidence that you'll lead the pack and make us proud.
Be bold.
Injustice is great. So fight with a tenacity that challenges it at every appearance.
Explore the world. There so much to pray for, but even more to love. Sunsets, chocolate chip cookies, doodle bugs, playdoh, acai berries, Egyptian pigeons.... So much. My writings do it no justice.
Love life.
Make mistakes and learn from them. Know that ALL things work together for your good. You can't "lose" in this life. But make sure you live for the service of others and that you remain humble in your examination of yourself.
I love you son. I love you because of your excitement to get here. I can't wait to meet you. We'll take it day by day. Though your mom and I have lofty goals for your life, I'm sure God's plan for you is simply amazing.
Here's to your arrival. Your beginning.
My heir.
Brayden.
Daddy loves you. Mommy loves you. But God loves you most.
