“All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated…As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation toContinue reading “The Gift Economy: Recession Proof and Responsible”

A Poor ($80,000!) Decision
I wonder why more people aren’t opening their own businesses today. I think that it’s because our population is so segmented that people don’t have the dreams, vision, or drive to do it. I have to admit, I spent my twenties “going with the flow” without a clear plan for my future. I went fromContinue reading “A Poor ($80,000!) Decision”
Let’s talk about chicks, man.
Today I started expanding our chicken family to meet one of our 2014 goals out here at Primrose Station. It’s important to us to incubate, hatch, and grow our own chickens for a few reasons. First of all we love the chickens we have, a good mix of different types leaves our egg baskets lookingContinue reading “Let’s talk about chicks, man.”
Montana, “The Last Best Place”
If you’re from Montana, like Al and I are, you will know that we Montanans take tenacious pride in our state. We are home to Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, the Rocky Mountains, and a stable economy during an unstable time. We like to hike, fish, camp, and drink beer. We work hard andContinue reading “Montana, “The Last Best Place””

Simple? Steps to Living Your Dreams
The most liberating day came for me last year when I realized that I wanted to be an entrepreneur. It was a paradigm shift. I observed my whole life in a new way. Everything I did became more meaningful and important. Every decision I made (or Al and I made together) was a strategic toContinue reading “Simple? Steps to Living Your Dreams”
Paid In Full!
Well today is the day! After working our butts off and some well timed good luck, I’m on my way to pay off the loan on Primrose Station!!! I’m sure my lovely wife wouldn’t have believed me a year ago if I told her we’d be done that soon, but then again, I wouldn’t haveContinue reading “Paid In Full!”
Sacrifice…
Anyone that knows us knows that we have given up a lot of creature comforts over the last year to attain our goals. At the end of last year I was still stationed in California and Erin had already found a job up here and moved back to get us established, and during that timeContinue reading “Sacrifice…”
