Peace. How's everybody feeling, Denver?

I want to thank God for being in this moment right now in Denver, Colorado.

It's the honor to be here on Oprah's Journey of Wellness because I've been thinking about my word lately for 2020.

But I have a hard time making up my mind. I'm a Pisces. I kind of back and forth, back and forth. But one of the words that I chose that's most powerful in my life is love.

And I wanted to share that with you all in my journey in discovering love.

It was 2 a.m. in the morning and my phone was ringing. Now when your phone rings in the middle of the night, that's the scary feeling.

Or I mean, it could be a good thing if it's the person you want to be calling.

But I saw that it was my daughter, my boy, so my heart jumped because she never regularly calls me in the middle of the night.

So I immediately wondered what's going on and she all right.

I answered the phone and after a brief conversation I could hear that she was having a good time.

She was in college, she had been drinking. She was talking to me. It's just about general things.

I said, I'm going to get up early in the morning and I'm starting a new film in the morning. So can we talk tomorrow? Three minutes later, my phone rang again.

It was a morning and I picked up and she said, Dad, you don't even care. You didn't ask if I was okay. You didn't see where I was.

I was taking a back because I didn't know where this was coming from. But me knowing that she had been drinking, I said, Amoye, we should talk about this tomorrow and we did.

We talked about it the next day and then when she came home from school two weeks later, we talked about it face to face.

And what Amoye told me was that she felt like at times I wasn't a good father that I hadn't been there for her at times, that I've been on the road too much.
