Don’t let life pass you by…
I’ve really started noticing more and more things in my environment/surroundings and am so appreciative for what I’m experiencing! I’ve been struggling to find my path for decades. I have come to realize how far off my path I was. I believe finding my path and including between one to two hours of stretching/yoga/meditation has…

Healing and Avoidance
It’s been weeks since I’ve written. I have been grappling through a myriad of things and I needed to “take a knee”. I absolutely love being on the road and those three weeks I enjoyed being out and about meant the world to me! I did need to take a break and get some doctor…

Enjoy the Moment!
One of the things that I’m constantly working on is staying in the moment (mindfulness) and not letting my thoughts wander.

Back on the Net… Well kinda
First I just want to capture how happy I am that I created this. I have had so many family members (to me family is by blood and brotherhood/sisterhood) reach out to me. I can’t say thank you enough for joining me on this journey. I went down to Phoenix last week to celebrate my…

First Post! Triggers
Last week was my first counseling focused on purely PTSD. I read or in all honesty on some items scanned and I realize that’s avoidance. I did see that the slide deck included PTSD triggers and one of my homework tasks is to build my list of triggers. For now, that’s as far as I’ll…
