Calm Among the Chaos



Current State of Affairs...

I'll not write anything to further muddy the already murky waters of information about this Corvid-19 situation. I'll only say that you should be paying attention to what's going on, remain vigilant, stay informed, and keep your baseline.

There are some serious things happening that we need to pay attention to on many fronts regarding the safety of our health, economy and society. 

You've heard me say this before, but...

Especially during times of concern (like what's going on currently like): Mass closings, schools shutting down for weeks at a time, stock market crashing, travel advisories, quarantines and the like... 

It's easy to get nervous, spooked and become irrational.

It is important to stay informed with up to date information from credible sources  like the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and local, state and federal authorities. 

There are many people trying to get this situational under control on many fronts, so we can all do our part. However, things continue to develop, so not everything is not clear at this time. 

This makes things difficult to decide what is the right thing to do.

And...

I understand! I'm going through a bit of that myself.


However...


Hang In There!


Don't lose your grip. 

Maintain your composure and know that you can Improvise, Adapt and Overcome adversities like these...

We have before and shall again...

Just play things smart and be there for others who need help in these times of stress and concern. 

This is a time for us to step up, stand together and lead from the front. 

What does that look like?

It's different for each of us.

What it looks like for one person, might be totally different from someone else.

Even if you find yourself having a differing opinion on what's going on, let's try to stay together as much as we can and not bicker about the small things. 

Stay focused on the bigger picture.

This is a good time to practice being a PeaceWalker in real time! 

That's enough from me right now...

Hang in there!

Step up and remember that you are resilient and...


Keep going,
~Craig

An Uncomfortable Situation

  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

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
