If you keep one hand on your past and one hand on your future, you'll never have either. To embrace tomorrow, you must let go of yesterday. -Unknown I don't know who wrote this, but it is a punch to the face of reality. Holding on to your past will limit your future. I am not saying to forget your past, but rather to HEAL from it. Your past will always be a part of you. It's your choice to have it be a source of pain or growth.

Falkor is getting the sunset treatment. I don't know about you, but sunsets with those I care about are the best things ever. #ChurchofPetrolheads #driveways #sunsets #pro4x #Falkor #TheTruckDragon #fatherdaughtermoment https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYnOEesJ-h/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's been over 25 years since I drove the red one (86 LeBaron, which been in the family since new) and the white one (49 Chevy, been in the family since I was single digits) had more hands on it today than it has in over 30 years. Haha Such a good day! #nostalgia #childhood #memories #relive #thepast #Chevrolet #chrysler #parents #cars #garage https://www.instagram.com/p/CbRN9DDsv1k/?utm_medium=tumblr

For years, I lived caged by my trauma, afraid to love, scared to feel emotions and terrified of my anger getting loose. Living life restrained is mentally exhausting. After my time with @save_a_warrior_saw and with the help of my brother Tim from @finally_home_farm , I found healing from the trauma I held within and let it go. More importantly, I learned that strong men, express emotions. I saw strong men, more bad ass than I ever dream of being (based on their known past deployments) telling other men that they love them. Seeing these men shed tears expressing what they held inside, washing away the unwritten rule of how men express emotions. I too learned that I could express these emotions and feel safe about doing so. I found I could love and express that love openly again. I also found myself letting my soul wash away sadness and anger through gentle teardrops. Today, after more than 3 years of healing and a change of daily practice, I am living life as if someone left the gates open! Are you a veteran or first responder struggling?

Great start to the car season at @thecolumbuscarsandcoffee . First time at the new location. Good to see all the car friends and family again!

It's been 17 years today since I first drove her home. Back in November 2004, after my combat tour in Iraq, I ordered Karizma brand new to the specs I wanted. It took 4 months for her to be built, shipped overseas and to arrive in Ohio. On March 4th, 2005, the keys were in my hand. In the years that follow, she became an outlet of anger, frustration, depression, adrenaline, solitude, peace and countless other emotions. She became the place of peace from C-PTSD, an tool for express anger and frustration, a shelter from an overwhelming world, and finally, the symbol of my healing and outreach. She has stuck with me longer than any relationship, opened doors to many amazing opportunities and created personal bonds unlike any other. What will the next 17 years hold? Who knows but I cannot wait to find out. Happy Birthday Karizma! #Karizma #KarizmaG35 #Infiniti #G35 #V35 #HappyBirthday #healing #outreach #ptsd #ptsdawareness #dwp4ptsd https://www.instagram.com/p/CaruN_oOx5W/?utm_medium=tumblr

On tonight's episode of the #ChurchofPetrolheads , spring maintenance was addressed on the two garage queens and my son's car. Car and motorcycle season has always started on March 1st for me for decades now. This year is no different, well, except my toy selection is a little smaller in number. There is an old saying that when your numbers decrease, the quality increase. That's how I am rolling now.

@iamtheswimreaper always has the best vibes and amazing photos. Despite what life has thrown at you, perspective is everything. Mindset is everything. The person with little can be happy and the person with everything can be lonely. I know personally that my life has been changed in the last 3 years due to my change in mindset.

Old Faithful is living up to her name. Rain, snow or shine, she keeps on just moving forward. 8-12" of snow and ice didn't make a difference this weekend either. I can't wait for my future to arrive, as I have plans. So for now, I will just keep pushing forward. One step at a time, 1 mile at a time. #movingforward #onestepatatime #onemileatatime #oldfaithful #faith #Sunset #snow #winter #traction #plans https://www.instagram.com/p/CZnhRXBMCNZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
