Happy Monday, everyone!
Trauma. We have all experienced it in some form or fashion, whether directly ourselves or through grief and experiences we've witnessed in others.
From sexual assault, to toxic workplace culture, to online and in-person bullying, to my own mistakes and failures, trauma is something I pushed aside for nearly all of my life.
Over the past couple of years, I have spent a great deal of time working through these experiences and working on myself. It has never been easy, but it has absolutely been worth it.
I share these things not because I need validation (that's a separate discussion), but because I think I've spent too long trying to sell products instead of letting you see me for who I am, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I'm just a man, father, son, husband, and human being who is constantly learning, failing, growing, and expanding his knowledge, while trying to build a real, raw, and authentic platform from which I can share the passions and skills that have helped me cope, grow, and become the man I am today.
Through all of that, I am also trying to provide for my wife, two kids, and our fur baby, while hopefully inspiring and motivating others to chase their dreams, live honestly, learn something new, be present, and speak up about the things that matter most to them.
We're all works in progress, and that's okay. Over the coming days, weeks, months and years, I am going to try to be more present here and available and to let you all in and see me for who I am, what I do and why.
Imagery is awesome, but I think vulnerability and showing you into my world, may be a better direction for OMNP.
Connecting you to me to nature and to everything in-between is the goal. Conservation through human connection to the world around us...
Thanks for following, supporting and sticking around!
More to come.
