My Son's Journal 1

My Son's 

My Amazing Son's 

They have out done me and that's a blessing 🙏

River was in San Marcos welding, and in two years was earning twice what I did, 14 years in corporate.

Mathis graduated early and was chasing his dream in cars out at CODA.

Both have a good head, a strong heart and blessed soul🙏❣️

They decided they were going to move to Moab, Utah to work with their uncle with an extreme 4x4 tour business.

The Trip-

Mathis had already driven Big Bubba, the 1991 Suburban up there. River was trying to finish his Chevy square body work truck. More projects started to come his way and was running thin. So he called his brother to come back for him.

Mathis Miles so far , about 2000.

So he came back for his brother, which warms my heart how they help each other and and need to be close working together 🙏❣️

They spent about three days loading up - two dogs, four vehicles (two in tow) Big Bubba, Stephen the Ranger, Pepper the Dotson Z, and the Square body I'll call Frankenstein, a motorcycle, sailboat, tools and the rest of their stuff. A big load and caravan for sure.

After a lot of work, they were off.

Smooth sailing, until Santa Fe.

Riv and Stephen broke down. Mathis continued to get his load to Moab. River was on the side of the road, trying to fix his truck, for three days.

Mathis and another truck, returned, after having to fix Bubba.

Mathis Miles for his brother, about 3500.

After a couple hours of loading up Frankenstein and Stephen, they continued the still difficult trek.

They finally made it to Moab together.

Total Mathis Miles for his brother, about 4000.

When I talked to River, he sounded much more happy, and already got him a welding job. Mathis happy with his dog, brother, and working for his Uncle.

I love and proud of boys become Men🙏❣️

Living to the Plus- Interview with Jay Jones

 Why are we here? What does podcast or creating content mean to us what does it do for us? How did we meet, what are our connections and 7 steps of separation? Who is Jay Jones? Where have you been, where are you now, and where are you going? Thoughts on education, bring educated, being “smart” or good at memorization vs being creative or outside the fringe of programmed society. Living life by tapes vs deep thinking and action towards improvement and growth. What is trash talking online or on social? What does it do for us? How does the divide in society affect you? What can we do to change it? What is the difference between a social media group, an in person group meeting or networking, and the old days when kids played in the neighborhood all summer long made forts, bike adventures, getting into trouble? What is one thing you could change today that would change the world tomorrow?

Living to the Plus- go past the truth to find your truth

Image
When I swam across Canyon Lake in December 2019, in 56-degree water for 8 miles over 5 hours, I had to go past my truth. I also had to go past a truth or many truths when I ran around the New Bruanfels Circle 2019 times, or 256 miles in 8th miles loops over 24 days. I had to go past a lot of truths when I finished Great Floridian 140.6 Ultra Tri undertrained. Then I found my truth, that I could do what I set out to do. I had to just keep TRIng and keep going. When have you pushed past a truth you told yourself, something you could not do. Something you were not strong enough, or tall enough, or smart enough, or tough enough? What did it feel like when you walked over that threshold of the truth you believe, into the truth you created? Is there something in front of you, something that you are scared of to step over? Is there a wall of truths you are telling yourself to be scared of not to push towards this challenge? What are some of the things you are telling yourself? OR what are som...

Living to the Plus- Connection- Networking- Groups - Mentors - Leaders- Servant Leaders

How is your connection or connections? Do you have a support chain or network? Do you know networking is one of the greatest super powers? The phrase "it's not what you know but who you know" can truly be used to your advantage or detriment on how you use your network. If you have a passion or an objective, you can only do so much alone. Yet if you have an established network of resources, you can ask for help, delegate and collaborate to accomplish your goal faster, stronger and more effective. Another form of networking is groups and a way to connect. Weather it be on social media or (not in Vid-19 times) in person. Groups offer a bank of people and resources. If you utilize them effectively they can help motivate, keep you accountable and to help you reach your goals. What groups are you in and how do they benefit you? They say in order to become a Master at something you have to do that action or skill 10,000 times. Are you a Master at anything? How much time or times...
