The Art of Plausible Deniability and Self-Sabotage: Self-Doubt and Distractions
*I want to preface, this is my opinion, I respect everyone’s decision in life to do as they wish and engage with the world as they wish. This is my version of reality. Many years ago, my wife and I attended the Tom Brown tracker school in the pine barrens of New Jersey. It…...
Holding Space For Sound Part 3: The Creature and the Creation
