A Child’s Mind: Our Hope For The Future
Change is seldom easy, but change is always on the wing. Some change is chosen, and some is forced upon us. Each year in the Northern Hemisphere around March and April, depending upon where we find ourselves, one of the great natural changes in our calendar year...
Karma, Yellowstone Style
It was a rough night. With a 5 AM start time scheduled for my guide day the following morning, I made the trek from Bozeman to Gardiner (on the doorstep to Yellowstone’s northern range) to crash at my friend’s house. I settled in just in time to watch the fourth...
Changing Tides
The life of a writer/speaker is no different than that of others breaking out of the box to pursue creative endeavors: the tides are always changing. I’ve always loved water metaphors. In my next book Be Audacious: Inspiring Your Legacy and Living a Life That Matters,...
Grizzlies On My Mind Colorado Style: Interview With Grand Junction Sentinel
It was one year ago today that my memoir Grizzlies On My Mind was released. I won't ever forget that magic day in Denver, Colorado. It began speaking on the steps of the state capitol as the closing speaker for a rally protesting the Keystone Pipeline and then the...

Flooding Waters
Some days the waters flood no matter your good intentions or headspace. With 75,000 more words to read through in my last look at the Be Audacious book before it comes out, I decided to shake things up a bit. Though I never thought I would be one of those writers who...
