The ugly: This week was difficult. The Jacob Blake shooting hit me really, really, hard. The aftermath, where a 17yr old armed with an rifle killed two peaceful protestors and was allowed to walk by police and drive home, it really got to me. In this podcast I talk about it a bit, but I also talk about what good friends, prayer, meditation, and good music can do to help us heal from the trauma we're all absorbing each time an act of violence happens. There is always hope!
The bad (not really) I also talk about completing my 2nd half-marathon at the "Run With Horses Marathon: in Green River Wyoming two weeks ago. It was amazing, beautiful, peaceful, and it kicked my a** cause 13.1 miles on mountain at 6,000 above sea level is not a game. But no, it was great and the people were great and the Green River water is excellent after you finish, but remember to "watch out for the rattlesnakes."
The Good: Bob Marley, Prince, The BareBack Saloon (shout out to Nova and Bella) and pushing ourselves when you body wants to quit.
