Greetings. Sober October is coming down to a close and I’m finding out so much about myself But today is not about me.

Sober October Day 20
Continue winning the battle. Today was a typical day. Nothing extraordinary. I worked, came home, checked cows, fed, then recorded a podcast while most everyone else was out of the house. My podcast was with my friend Sammi Wangsness. We talked about her journey through ADHD. How she changed her approach in college and how … Continue reading Sober October Day 20
Sober October Day 19 – Rest
Another day down, another success I'm actually writing this considerably later in the day than normal. Not that it's late... it's actually still before 6 am Keri and I had plans to run together this morning at home. It's the full moon and we try to make it a point to run together each month … Continue reading Sober October Day 19 – Rest
Sober October – Day 18 – Sorry That Was a Big Gap
That was a big gap. My bad. We spent the weekend celebrating Keri's birthday. Like I said in my Instagram Post, we will leave her age up to interpretation 😉 . Every year for her birthday, I take Keri to St. Louis to go shopping for clothes. This year was no different. Now I Don't … Continue reading Sober October – Day 18 – Sorry That Was a Big Gap
Sober October Day 14 – Don’t Blame Meat For What Sugar Did
Early morning. As I type this out it is 424 am. Sleep has actually come quite easier since I have undertaken the sugar fast. I know that this is no coincidence. On last week's podcast, my friend Nicole Rodriguez and I discussed disrupters and how they can affect our sleep. We spoke specifically of alcohol, … Continue reading Sober October Day 14 – Don’t Blame Meat For What Sugar Did

Sober October Day 9
So I can't think this is absolutely a coincidence but i believe the sugar fast is showing tangible results. We are in the middle of our training for the Hot Chocolate 15k in a couple of months. Today our training called for a 5 mile run. Over the past few weeks I have been nursing … Continue reading Sober October Day 9
Sober October Journal: Day 7
So today has been a little different for me. I slept in. I needed the rest as I've been going pretty hard in the paint lately. Waking at 0400, write for approximately 20-25 minutes, feed the calves, then head out to work. I've changed it up as I am now parking right at work and … Continue reading Sober October Journal: Day 7

What 4H Has Meant To Me
This past week, my friend Gennifer Cape asked me to present to the annual Crawford County 4H Leaders Banquet. I talked about what 4H has meant to me and my family and how it has affected our lives. Here are the words from my talk. If you aren't already, I encourage you to find out … Continue reading What 4H Has Meant To Me
Sober October Day 6
One more day down I don't have a lot of words for today but Im staying on the wagon. I'm pretty bleary eyed as I sit down to type this out this morning. My favorite book over the last few years has been "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. In that book, he talks about how … Continue reading Sober October Day 6
