Long Time

     A long time has passed since my last blog, sounds like confession.  It has been a nice break filled with family and Roxi my granddaughter.  Wow, folks talk about its awesome being a grandparent.  I really did not connect to that until it had happened. Many of the things I think about with her are the same as those original thoughts with my daughters.  I just want to be with her and show her the marvel of what is outside and waiting to be discovered, well much the same of what I hope to give to friends and clients.  My personal creed, I would say, “Share the joy and craft  of fishing, outdoor knowledge, safety and the stewardship of God’s creations." 

Ok what does that truly mean in practice, to show up each day being who and what I have been created to be. Give all of my energy to the efforts of reaching the sole goal of : Communicating ability to have a peaceful mind while being outdoors. I kind of liken it to when we were kids and had pretend forts, we were make believe kings or queens, Daniel Boone, Davey Crocket and the like.  The escape or mindful experience of disengaging from the grind of it all and knowing that there are really only a few things that really have value Love, Time and what we experience as Beauty.  In the pursuit to give this way, I find it intriguing to relate to folks and the day.  Most folks will state that being outside and learning skills of this outdoor craft and /or lifestyle was brought to them thru a parent and/or their grandparents. 

    More on these thoughts in the future.

    I always want to remember that all I have to do is choose to be a part of the beauty, creation of it is the same as what created myself.
