Start Where You're At


 


I hope that you had a good New Year Celebration regardless if it was quiet like mine or loud and proud... bold and crazy... 


Regardless, I hope it was safe and something you enjoyed it w/the people you care about. 

And now hopefully you're RARE'N to start your... New Year w/a BANG!

Words of Advice on Resolutions

I'm not a big fan really. 

I am, however a big fan of looking back over the year to see what was working, and what wasn't. What I want more of and what I want less of. 

It's not only about goal though...

You should be dialing in what type of life you're creating... 

What type of a person are you becoming?!

Are you happy with where you're life is going?


You May Think Me Strange...


That at 52 I'd say what type of person I'm becoming...

Many would believe that by that age we have already became the person who we are and in certain respects I'd agree, however in many other aspects I wouldn't...

Make no mistake, we are always developing, always progressing or regressing, always changing...

And I want to make sure that I evaluate where I am and where I want to be... Who I am and who I want to become...

To make sure I'm doing the things necessary to support my decision and goals.

Simple, not Easy...


Start Where You're At...


Remember that this journey is a marathon and at times a sprint...

But it is a long journey, so you have to make sure whatever you do is sustainable. 

Make sure that the suck you have to embrace, no matter how large or small is worth it!


Time is a limited resource...


Remember how fast this past decade went?

The next 10 will go even faster! 

Make sure that the Juice is Worth the Squeeze in everything you set out to do!

Re-Evaluate Your Everything!

It's good to finish what you start...

But it's better to evaluate, re-evaluate and keep checking in to make sure where you're wanting to go still makes sense.

Things change and you should too! 

Relationships, careers, identities, activities, needs, health, responsibilities, pretty much everything!

Keep up and keep evolving!

It's ok to change...

The New Year can be a good time to reflect, re-evaluate and make a plan to move forward in a direction that give you more of what you want and less of what you don't!

Make sure you are enjoying the journey! As we have both experienced, it goes fast!

You Don't Live In a Bubble...

We are constantly dealing with other people, and with people comes conflict...

So if you want to be more successful in the next year, learn how to deal with that conflict better!

Gain a new sense of clarity and confidence when it comes to protecting yourself and others.

It will help you get more of what you want and less of what you don't!

So..

Happy New Year! 


Make it the best year ever!!


If you're looking to get a head start on your best year yet, you have to commit to investing into yourself. The PeaceWalker 6 Day Defense will help you Become a Force For Good!




Keep going,

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
