  Did you know that an eagle can foresee when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? Instead of hiding, the eagle will fly to some high point and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind can pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle soars above it. The eagle does not escape or hide from the storm; instead, it uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the stormy winds which others dread. When the storm of life or challenges hits us, we can rise above them and soar like the eagle that rides the storm’s winds. Don’t be afraid of the storms or the challenges in your life. Use it to lift you higher in your life. More?! Want to learn my unique approach to protecting yourself better?!

I don't know what made me think of it, but... A while back, I ran into a guy who thanked me for keeping him out of jail. Turns out he got so angry when he discovered his young daughter and her slightly older boyfriend (still a minor though) fooling around.  Dad walked in on them doing things they shouldn't have been at their age.  It took good ol' dad off guard. So much so that understandably, he wanted to wipe the guy off the face of the earth.  Before acting on his feelings, he took a breath and started doing one of our tactical grounding exercises he learned from me here in PeaceWalker. He said that he went into the room and when he made his presence known, they scrambled to get 'decent'.  He told them both that he wanted to talk with them.  "Get cleaned up, we're going to have a little talk."  He told them both, before stepping out to regroup. He said he had to walk around a bit more to calm down. Along with some of the tactical breathing exercises...

  I'm sitting here in my living room, in front of the fire listening to The Police's Ghost in the Machine album.  I just got finished watching a recently posted Youtube video of the Mayor of Kiev, Ukraine talk as the Russian army descends on his city to destroy, occupy and take over control of his country's capitol.  Life is surreal... We see things happen in real time now like never before.  Things from all over the world.  What used to feel distant or abstract, now overwhelms our senses and assaults our emotions on a regular basis.  It is good to be informed, but we are now overloaded with so much information in all areas, it is difficult for many to process it all.  Especially these past couple years... Years of crisis, division and conflict.  Not that those things haven't been there before, they were just really brought out to the forefront of our consciousness due to the state of things. IMPACT! There is a lot of power that comes with informa...

John Hancock, President of Congress, was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence, writing his name in large, plain letters, and saying: "There! John Bull can read my name without spectacles. Now let him double the price on my head, for this is my defiance." Then he turned to the other members, and solemnly declared: "We must be unanimous. There must be no pulling different ways. We must all hang together." "Yes," said Franklin, quaintly, "we must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." We are told that Charles Carroll, thinking that his writing looked shaky, added the words, "of Carrollton," so that the king should not be able to make any mistake as to whose name stood there. by H.

Today I thought I'd share a story that one of our PeaceWalker Private InnerCircle Members wrote in to me the other day.  I have to admit two things: (1) I love hearing stories from you folks out there using this PeaseWalker Approach in real time.  (2) Never a bad thing when I have one of these emails written for me! =) Either way, it's a great story that you can learn from regardless if you are a teacher or not!  The way that Rob handled this student is indicative of the PeaceWalker Conflict Management Approach.  No, this one isn't a physical encounter...  Rather, it's one that many of us have to handle all to often at work and at home.  Some great take away's here from Saint Rob! Ok... Breathe... Just Breathe... Teaching teenagers turns out to be phenomenal training for constantly honing your conflict management skills. I wanted to write to you today to tell you about a current experience and how Peacewalker training helped me stay level headed - please fe...

I hadn't seen him at the academy in a while. He trained for several years, but had been gone about as long.  Handsome guy, middle aged, probably late thirties, maybe mid forties... Possibly older, his face looked younger than his years would lead on to.  He had the typical dad bod, you know, he hadn't let himself go totally, but, like many folks he struggled to keep those love handles at bay.  If you don't know the 'secret,' stress, career, family,  and a real life seems to be the enemy of working out and staying in shape. It's harder than when you were younger.  So, (let's call him) Hank comes in like a hurricane, hard charging at the academy, not in a delta bravo (douche bag) kinda way, just not really understanding how to train sustainably.   No matter how many times I say,  "Go slow, take it easy....Smooth. Relax a bit..." The encouragement and advice seemingly falls on deaf ears. In his head, he's moving to the beat of a much younger, more...

Here's a good story that I ran across from one of the marketing guys I know his name is Michael... His sons were kicking the ball playing some crazy game they dreamed up in their creative little minds. (In my mind it's something like 'Calvinball!' =) Michael was sitting watching them. His older son, Joe yells "I Quite" and he sits down. His arms are crossed and he said "I'm not playing because Alan cheated". (Alan is the younger one) And Moichael says to Joe "coooommoon". "It's just a game". "Let's just play". "I'll be on your team". And Joe says... No, I quit! And Michael started to chant . .. D O N ' T Q U I T . . . D O N ' T Q U I T . . . D O N ' T Q U I T . . . and then a little faster. DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUIT . . . Michael had both his hands balled up into fists. His arms outreached and he was staring Joe directly in the eye.. DON'T QUIT, DON'T QUI...
