Sharing my personal takeaways from The Greatest Showman! Notes: https://balmriverview.com/ https://cardinalcoachingsolutions.com/
Friends! We recently celebrated July 4th, (Independence Day here in the States), and it was a big day for me: MY 40th BIRTHDAY! To celebrate, I’m finally bringing to light a project I’ve been working on for the last few years. My first (maybe only?) novel! It’s a story about my hometown, about healing and moving on, about grappling with the boundaries of all that you’ve ever known or believed. Best of all - for me, at least - it’s a creature-feature thriller (read as: monsters and stuff). You can read more about it at the link below. Anyway, I almost talked myself into pushing the release date back to October, or whenever the world resumes even a modicum of sanity. Afterall, who cares about another self-funded piece of art in a world gone bonkers? But after some consideration, I like the idea of this as a sort of birthday present for us both. Me, you, us. And who knows, maybe now more than ever we could use a tale about wrestling with what we cannot control:) I hope you enjoy it! https://balmriverview.com/

What if Frodo and Samwise simply walked out of the Shire, took a short day hike to Mordor, dropped the ring into the belching fire of Mount Doom, and then came home for dinner? Yeah. It would be a lame story. NOTES: https://cardinalcoachingsolutions.com/fellowships/ https://cardinalcoachingsolutions.com/excursions/ https://calendly.com/cardinalcoaching

I don't often think of places like Montana, Utah, or Maine as cultural wellsprings that shape or influence that which is downstream. They don't have scenes in way I think of LA, NYC, Nashville, Seattle, or even DC. So when my friend made the comment that "there are answers in Montana," it reminded me that these are precisely the places where the human spirit can go to get found!
2020 got off to a hot start! However, I quickly realized that my list of to-do's wasn't sustainable. If I didn't want all of my new initiatives and energy to go up in smoke, I would have to make a list of "to-don'ts." https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/space-between-wes-gow-pcc/
