    A Blog You Need to Read

    Folks,

    I want to draw your attention to this excellent blog by our very own Kathryn Woodall. It's called Life is Martial Art, and it outlines a year of remarkable challenges, stygian depths, and truly incredble triumphs. This is a compelling story that will grab your attention by the scruff of the neck and not leg go till you've clicked the last page.

    It is through stories that we share who we are, and through stories that we pass on what we've learned. There are life lessons here for all of us.

    Take a few minutes and give this one a read. It will inspire you. And if it inspires you to share your own story with the tribe, so much the better.

    A heart on your sleeve story like that takes quite a bit of courage.

    Good for you Kathryn!

    Thanks to all of you.

    It is an odd thing to put that much of my personal life out there when I am in general a private person, but if others had not shared with me, the entire experience would have been even harder. I get much from this community and I don't know if the things I learned will matter to or help anyone else or not, but if I don't share them, they certainly won't. Thanks again for taking the time to read and comment.

    Chasing (an adventure novel)
    ~ The life of a Chaser seemed to fit Ottum like well-made armor. She hunted and killed evil without questioning the path her life had taken - until the day evil started hunting her. In that dark moment, Ottum's past and present collided to shatter what she once believed to be unquestionable truth.
