These blog categories reflect the many layers of the journey—internal battles, quiet reckonings, lessons learned through fire, and the kind of connection that changes us. Whether you’re here to go deeper, find context behind the book, or join a larger conversation, each section offers something to anchor you. Start where you feel drawn. These aren’t just posts—they’re companions for the road ahead.
The Journey Within
This space is for those doing the hard work of facing themselves. These reflections dive into personal growth, emotional healing, and the quiet truths that emerge when we stop running. You’ll find insights on identity, grief, gratitude, and what it means to live in alignment—not just with others, but with yourself. These posts are raw, thoughtful, and deeply human.
Behind the Book
Here’s where the story steps off the page. In this category, you’ll discover the meaning behind the metaphors, the real-life experiences that shaped the fiction, and the characters who carry more truth than make-believe. It’s a look at how Journey to Himself came to life—one fire-forged scene at a time—and what it continues to teach me as its author.
For the Warrior
Written with veterans and warriors in mind, these entries speak directly to those who’ve carried more than they could say. Topics include post-traumatic growth, purpose after pain, and what it means to walk through fire and return with wisdom. Whether you served in combat, survived another kind of war, or are simply walking through something hard, this is for you.
Reader Reflections
This is where your voice matters. In this section, you’ll find real stories, powerful takeaways, and honest responses from readers who have connected with the journey in their own way. You’re invited to reflect, comment, and share how the book—or life—has impacted you. Sometimes, the most important truths come from listening to one another.
Creative Corner
This is where art meets emotion. Here you’ll find character letters, poetry, sketches, and other creative expressions that expand the world of Journey to Himself. These pieces don’t follow structure—they follow feeling. Whether it’s a glimpse into Rhett’s mind or a new metaphor taking shape, this is a space to linger and look deeper.
