The BOK Center was buzzing with activity on a hot July Saturday. Fans and teams gathered for Tulsa’s Seventh Annual Dodgebrawl Tournament.

In my previous article, “Where Has Fear Got You?” I shared the story behind the re-launch of this blog, The People Project. For 18 months my writing was focused on my new book, LEADERS CREATE SPACE. Like a correctional officer, fear held me captive for several months as I contemplated re-engaging with you in this space. Worth noting: When there’s a relationship gap, it’s easy to imagine the…
“We’ll head to the swimming cove,” David explained. He was the captain of our lake-worthy vessel. “It’s a spring-fed cove. You’ll enjoy pockets of cool water; it’s very refreshing on a hot day like today,” he continued. Dave didn’t know of my deep respect for water.

Emily Harrington is a professional rock climber and adventurer who has been…
Kite Lake beckoned us on Thursday morning. We headed north out of FairPlay, Colorado. U.S. Highway 285 towards Breckenridge. Then we turned west out of Alma onto Buckskin Gulch Road.
The first 3 miles was gravel. From Paris Mill to Kite Lake was 3 miles of “unimproved road.” Good thing we’d gotten that Jeep upgrade.
