Growing up in the Ozarks I only ever went hunting one time. It was with my dad on my grandma’s property in Strafford. We both had shotguns with slugs in ‘em. I’ll never forget that time because it was the only time we went hunting and my dad ended up shooting a bird with …

The Wisdom of a Sage
There are certain movies out there that depict the lifecycle of a Sage. As I’m working through this book, I am having small epiphanies and recollections of experiences I’ve had and experiences to come. At Warrior PATHH we talk of the 3 primary emotions. Those being joy, fear and sadness. Many will argue that there …
Our Children’s Kingdom
Even as a 45 year old man who’s married with 4 kids and a son-in-law, I still consider my own dad a King. I’ve heard the stories of him as a kid in his own Cowboy stage with his cousin growing up on the farm. As far as the Warrior stage goes, I think I …

Waiting For An Answer
Wanted to throw some midday thoughts on virtual paper before I forgot them. Since I tend to think that everything that pops in my head is something that everyone needs to hear. The whole, think before you speak bit. My oldest son came over last night to visit for a bit. He's been living on …
Navigating Life Is Like An Ozarks Road
Started my morning off making a ginormous cup of Joe and trying to finish this book I've been reading. It's book numero uno for this year. I hope to read at least another 30 books this year. Not sure I'll accomplish that task but I'm gonna go for it! I also enjoy Audible books since …
