What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course.

He was toting his enormous treasure back to wherever the ants in live. I was mesmerized. And quite impressed. Ants are amazing creatures. They can easily carry things more than 50 times their body mass and will patiently travel several miles to bring a prize home to the colony.

Home Defense Show The down time after teaching the retreat wasn’t exactly down time entirely… It was more of a “work light” situation really, but there is only so much any of us can do at one time to get caught up! One of the things I did on my “down time” was get interviewed on  Skip Coryell’s Home Defense Show . Here’s the link if you want to hear the interview: https://jeromecoryell.podbean. com/e/home-defense-show-how- do-we-protect-and-defend-in- peace-with-craig-gray/ If you would like to get more resources to protect yourself and live a safer, healthier, happier, more fulfilled life, then join our private community, PeaceWalker Connect.
