About Us
Once upon a time, I was told that I couldn't do it. That I shouldn't dare. That the dream was too
risky. That the risks too scary. The only people behind me were my three sons. And together, my
three sons and I built a dream. Can you imagine building a dream with your sons? There are days I
feel like the luckiest person alive. And that feeling has its roots in the darkest time in my life.
How's that for something to think about on those dark days? Gold is found in that darkness. Gold
that you don't even know exists. Hang on to that thought and come be part of our journey.

Reactions to encouragement
-
I've been kicking this question around in my head for a while now. I'm wondering the reaction to encouragement when people write how they're feeling. Do you want the encouragement you get from your friends when you're feeling down? Does Stitched want a "hugs" or a "Stay strong" when she's posting about her battle with cutting? Does Laurel like it when people post "Thinking of you" or "I wish I was there to help" after posting something on her blog? Or is it more annoyance? Like when I post "Happy Thanksgiving" on facebook and my friends "like" it. I know that sometimes I just feel like posting "Crappy day" or "Feeling blue" and just moving on. I don't really want to get into it. And I know that if I do feel like talking about it, I have a close friend or two and my wife Sue that I can turn to. Maybe it just depends on the day.

i think there's no figuring it out. sometimes i ask. like if i'm sitting with a friend who's got a big problem goin' on i might ask 'so do we want to work on fixing it now or should we just sit with it a bit?' but mostly i just respond with what feels real inside of me right then. i don't think you can go wrong with that....i really don't.......
