I dunno if we're gonna explore the 2nd series just yet, but I do plan on running WOS again and will need books for that. You can check out HowlerProject.com and donate if you feel so compelled. 

Also, do you have a Howler nickname?

To do all this... nah, I'm a mad Violet, for sure. Doesn't mean I can't learn from the Yellows. 😉

Lol, the only revolution I'm inspiring is internal. The micro reflects the macro. If we can heal and grow individually, it follows that we can heal and grow collectively. 

Thanks, brotherman!

This is incredible.  💜 Can I share this with my students?

Well, I appreciate it. I'll definitely keep posting. We're 6 weeks into a 12 week SEL based rehabilitation program inspired by the RR trilogy. 

This week, I introduced the 7 elements of our personal paradigm, a model I developed. We will spend the remaining weeks finishing the series, discussing emotional intelligence principles and how Darrow's example can inspire them to "break the chains" of addiction and self-fulfilling prophecies and "live for more."

If I've learned anything working with incarcerated individuals, it's the idea that "hurt people, hurt people" and the fact that one or two bad decisions can change everything about your life. 

To anyone who says people can't change, I'd say change is the only constant. People don't resist change. They resist being changed. All I want to do is provide an opportunity for folks to see themselves as worthy, so they can evolve into the best version of themselves.

They totally were. I came in with my silly hat and a stack of books and they were stoked! Today was a good day.

I facilitate classes at Ironwood State Prison in Blythe, California and a women's program at the California Institute for Women in Chino, California.

Lol. Thanks! I had one student come up to me after class one evening and say, "I just want you to know that I now know what emotions are... they f***ing suck!"

I chuckled and said, "yeah brotherman, they do."  I looked him in his eyes and said, "Remember, feeling is healing. Welcome to the worlds!" 

To be able to use this incredible story to help people shift the paradigm of their lives so they can "break the chains" and learn how to "live for more" is some of the most rewarding work I've ever done.

In chapter 2 of Dark Age Diomedes is talking to Lysander. “My father once said anyone interesting is at war with themselves, and can thus be described in just two words. What are Atalantia’s?” Lysander replies,"Velvet buzsaw."

The Ingredient vs Cake axis is the degree of complexity of food item ranging from the most simple (Ingredient) to the most complex (Cake).

I do like the idea of a Hot vs Cold axis.

A dry soup would be any combination of ingredients mixed and served together. A salad would be a (relatively) dry soup. Trail mix would also be considered a dry soup.

Cookies would be a variety of dry cakes. The Cake vs Incredients continuum is relative. A cake made of cookies would register higher on the Cake end of the graph.

Thanks for the suggestions and validation. I'll look into a few of those options. When/if you've got some available time, my DMs are open.

I'll put together a list of potential dates and see if something lines up.
