It’s not too often you get to meet someone and tell them your story, especially how they played a part in saving you. @drandallblythe I will forever be grateful I was able to thank you. See you on tour here soon! #lambofgod #metalrules #11thhour
What do the organization who gave me my life back, introduced me to some of the best humans ever, and some of the best whiskey makers ever have in common? They care about Veterans and their families. And for each photo of your @garrisonbros you share with the hashtag #hyefashioned, they will make a donation to @bootcampaign .
I’m just a regular Joe, no big name SOF celebrity or popular person, but come on and help out your fellow Veterans and their families. Mix it, drink it, post it, AND hashtag it!!! #bootcampaign #youmatter #garrisonbrothers
As some of you know, yesterday I completed the Charlie Mike program thru VHP. Life changing would be an understatement, but I tell you this. Never have I met a more dedicated group of people dedicated to helping Veterans who have suffered Injuries, TBI, PTSD, and so on.
The program is an entire reset focusing on physical injuries, mental health, diet, cognitive and speech therapy, yoga nidra, and so much more. I reached a point where I was just going thru it, did not see much further ahead, and now life has an entirely new meaning and purpose. I can move again, I lost fat, gained muscle, mental clarity, and so much more. I can get back to the mountains were I thrive, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and find some semblance of peace. I worked with members from NSW and others, and in true fashion, the camaraderie that we grew to know and rely on just helped us even more to put in the work and accomplish our goals. Still a few marks to hit, but well on my way.
I am a better Man and Father because of these people and all those who helped me get there.
It gets tiring. Your brain, your heart, your soul. Some days I can balance the 3, and others it’s a flooding chaos of memories, smells, emotions, I can hear them, I can hear my heart beat dim. The will to fight, to move on, to stay strong, it’s always been with me. But the heart I tell ya, the more it feels empty, the less I want to breath…
Making sure the pack is ready for the @lodestonetrainingandconsulting Light Fighter II challenge next month. The tent is obviously going to get packed smaller or swapped out for a tarp perhaps. Big stuff then all the small stuff later like fire stuff, cutting stuff, and so on…
