At What Point?
At what point do we wake up to the reality that is ‘today’? As of recent, I have connected with a fellow Special Warfare veteran who compiles information on veteran-related bills that get introduced in the Congress and Senate committees for Veterans Affairs. This got me thinking: this is important information that we should all…

The Battle Within…Invisible Wounds
In the military, we were trained to compartmentalize emotions, especially while performing our job(s). This, over time, can/will make it impossible for some to ‘feel’ again. Unfortunately I am an example of such things. Each day is a struggle. I struggle to look ‘normal’ and blend in with my coworkers. Each day I work twice…

Do your research!
Every class I have taught in the past, every student heard me say the same thing: Do NOT believe what anyone tells you. YOU do the research to verify what they said was the truth. Factual information is achieved when you do your due-diligence and research to find the correct answers. This is vital to…

Screenplays and Writing
I enjoy writing screenplays (when I am not writing the books I want to get out to the public before my brain depletes) but I also want to write quality screenplays. My very first attempt was me writing what was in my head. I had zero clues about formatting, structure, the ‘recipe’, nor the business…

Happy Easter to all
A quick Happy Easter to all. I hope your day is filled with family and love. Especially today, it is important to remain aware of your surroundings to keep you and your family safe. One may not expect to have to defend against a threat while attending Easter Sunday service, which is why that makes…

9 April 2022 Motivation for my fellow veterans
Every day is a hurdle for many veterans, myself included. There are times when just getting out of bed seems to be a huge effort, one that I am not sure I am able to achieve. Pain is a constant and it will only get worse as I get older. Seems like doom and gloom,…

The Veteran Community
A fellow veteran has published a fantastic book about PTSD and her experience in the military and law enforcement. Title: Courageously Broken Description: “Everyone has a story to tell and scars that won’t heal. This is the story of a young, idealistic teen who leaves a small town and abusive father to join the Navy…
