The past two weeks have been a complete blur… Trust me, I’m not complaining but last night was the first time I’ve been able to lay flat to sleep since this all happened. On the upside, I have learned how to sleep in a chair. I know that everyone has probably been following along on […]
Tips & Preventative Maintenance to Help You Survive the Big Freeze this Weekend in the Mississippi Delta
I was actually working on a checklist of things to do in preparation for the winter storm we have coming in this weekend when I noticed one of my co-workers shared a document in our slack channel that was much more comprehensive than my list, so I’m stealing his… credit goes to Will Scott. Emergency […]
Estate Planning for my Special Needs Child
As the parent of a neuro-diverse child on the autism spectrum there are things that can consume your thoughts and drain your energy if you let them. I’m going to be completely transparent here in hopes that another parent experiencing similar anxiety might find comfort in knowing. they are not alone and maybe benefit from […]
Real Talk about Mental Health and Agriculture
Everyone Depends on the Farmer No one understands the pressure that farmers are under unless they’ve walked a mile in their shoes. I was telling someone the other day how rural communities are completely dependent on the success of agriculture, it’s always been that way. If farmers have a good year everyone else does too, […]
What we all need in Dark Times…
Even though we differ in several ways I have always somehow felt a connection to Hemingway, not as a writer, but as a person. I do know he dealth with some dark times and depression (and without the help of modern medicine I might add). For some reason the algorithms keep pulling up quotes by […]
Being Broken but Keeping On…
Ernest Hemingway once wrote: The hardest lesson I have had to learn as an adult is the relentless need to keep going, no matter how broken I feel inside. This truth is raw, unfiltered, and painfully universal. Life doesn’t stop when we are exhausted, when our hearts are shattered, or when our spirits feel threadbare. It keeps moving—unyielding, indifferent—demanding that we keep pace. There is no pause button for grief, no intermission for healing, no moment where the world gently steps aside and allows us to mend. Life expects us to carry our burdens in silence, to push forward despite the weight of all we carry inside.
BlueDB Project Plan: Innovating Neurodiverse Support Services
I started storyboarding this project last year and pitched it to a few friends who crossover both the technical world as well as having family or friends connected to the neurodiverse community. I do not want to go into too much detail so as to not give away my idea, but a broad overview would be a web service that provides valuable, curated, detailed information about a child (or adult) on demand for many applications (police, ambulance, medical, emergency, etc.
It’s Been a Really Hard Year…
This year has been really hard for me. There’s been mornings I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep going and a lot of nights that I’ve been exhausted but couldn’t rest. I put on a pretty good front. Only a handful of people have known about this until now.
You Should Always Want to be the Adversary
It’s unfortunate that some people struggle because they can’t let things go and continue to carry anger and resentment. The truth is that they’ve probably never experienced true peace before, and that’s the really sad part. This is why that when they are presented an opportunity by their adversary to have closure in a situation they fail to realize the importance of that moment. Even when faced w/ continued anxiety and emotional toll, they are unable to accept an alternative of peace.
Uncomfortable Lessons to Learn
I ran across this motivational meme the other day and thought it was really good information. In fact, I printed it out and put it on my personal corner of my office whiteboard so I could reflect upon it a couple of times a day.
