Giving & Receiving

I don't know about you, but this time of year is both cool and crazy! I'm taking a breather from getting ready for Christmas while I write you a quick note.

Yesterday was a s#*t show thanks to my (now former) health insurance agent who totally dropped the ball on my insurance and left me in a really precarious position to figure things out for myself. 

For Christmas I'd send you (former insurance agent) a coupon for a FREE Krav Lesson, but I'll let Life take care of that for you. 

You reap what you sow brother... 

...Be careful what your sowing!!

Anyway, after spending the entire day scrambling to figure things out... Talking to multiple insurance companies, faxing, figuring and basically driving blind, I (think) I got things squared away. 

I'd REALLY love to let the cat out of the bag as to who this 'delta bravo' insurance agent is...but I won't...

I will, however tell you who stepped in to help....

I want to give a Big Thanks to Chad Creasy of RCB & Associates for helping me navigate through the storm of paperwork, deadlines and confusion to get back on track! 

Chad didn't have to help me... He got zero commission for it.  

He didn't have to take the time to offer me assistance... 

But he DID! 

...and I can't say how much I appreciate it (...well, I guess I just did!)

If you need help w/your health insurance, he's your man! I'll be using him from this point forward. 

After I got the situation taken care of, it reminded me of a few of things...



(1) You have the opportunity to use your PeaceWalker skills every day! (...especially yesterday for me!)

(2) Yes, there are some real a**holes out there... (some even dangerous...). However...

(3) There are people that will help you even when they don't have to. 

(4) When it comes to giving and receiving... You'll eventually get back what you put out. So...

(5) Be mindful of what you're giving!


Thank YOU for All You Have Given Me!

If you are reading this, you've touched my life in some way.

Thanks...

I want you to know that I appreciate it... 

I appreciate you...

Thank you for being part of my journey...

Thank you for helping me along my path in some small and not so small ways...

You see, I believe that we are all connected in some way...

The Good...

The Bad...

and yes, The Ugly!

It's all part of Life...

Mine, Yours, Everyone's...

I hope you had a good 2017?! 

And...

I hope you find more than you were looking for in 2018!!

It's there waiting for you to discover...

All of it... 

So in the words of Jocko Willink...

Go Get Some! 

Go out and tell those people who mean something to you that you appreciate them and... 


Go Sow Some Goodness...

I hope you see your True Identity as a Protector...

As a PeaceWalker...

Claim it...

Embrace it...

LIVE IT!!

Go out and Protect the Right Things! 

And help others do the same!


Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 

Keep Going,
~Craig

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Image
Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
