STABLE MAN? WHAT HE IS, OR WHERE HE LIVES?

June 30, 2022 by David Gillaspie

A stable man is good to know, whether it’s in the neighborhood or the horse barn. If you see a man mucking out a stall, that’s a stable man. The same also name applies to the guy who keeps his yard up, his car clean, and decorates his porch with flowers instead of old refrigerators. […]

June 29, 2022 by David Gillaspie

An angry man is something you come across if you live long enough. Age fifteen was my breakout. I’d heard anger before, but not like the one at fifteen. Since then I’ve heard many men show their anger. What to do when they get in your face?

SPENDING TIME LIKE YOU’LL NEVER GET OLD?

June 27, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Spending time together in the right places make the best memories. The guys in the image are two brothers I follow on twitter. One is a sports talk guy, the other is a regular guest.

June 25, 2022 by David Gillaspie

June 24, 2022 by David Gillaspie

TRAUMA WORK: WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

June 22, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Professionals, trained professionals, do trauma work. They do the work with traumatized people. The work starts when someone thinks they need help, or they’re told they need help. It sounds like this: “You need help, so get help.” Sounds simple enough?
