A Wild Ride Called Life

This means the entire world to me.
Keep following along for what God has in store for us.

We have an AMAZING ANNOUNCEMENT!

-----------------------------------------

We are proud to officially announce a new partnership between A Wild Ride Called Life and Honor Box Studios

At the heart of both organizations is a shared belief: every story matters, every sacrifice deserves to be recognized, and every legacy should be preserved.

A Wild Ride Called Life was built on the power of storytelling—creating space for people to share the experiences, struggles, resilience, and purpose that have shaped their lives.

Honor Box Studios takes those stories and transforms them into something tangible. Each handcrafted piece begins with a decommissioned military ammunition can and becomes a one-of-a-kind heirloom created to honor service, sacrifice, and the person behind the uniform.

This partnership brings together heartfelt storytelling and handcrafted legacy pieces designed to ensure that meaningful stories are not forgotten, placed in a drawer, or lost with time.

For me, this partnership is deeply personal. As a veteran, storyteller, mental health advocate, and media company owner, I understand how important it is to recognize not only a person’s service, but also the family, sacrifice, history, and journey behind it.

Together, we will continue honoring stories, preserving legacies, and creating meaningful impact—one person, one story, and one Honor Box at a time.

With history in your hands, every box has a story

I didn’t come this far to dim my light now.
-------------------
After everything I’ve survived, everything I’ve learned, everything I’ve rebuilt —
why would I shrink now?
I’m here to shine.

This is what community looks like.

Marine Veteran Minnie Whitzel served our country for 31 years, founded VFW Post 12235, and has spent years creating a place where Veterans feel seen, supported, and never forgotten.

Now, Moving With The Military has honored her with a life-changing home makeover as part of their America 250 celebration.

This story is personal. It is powerful. And it is a reminder that the people who spend their lives caring for others deserve to be cared for too.

In 30 days!

I’m honored to be invited to speak with Instant Teams on July 8, 2026, at 12 PM EST.

I’ll be leading a conversation on a topic that doesn’t get enough attention—how we raise children into respectable young adults.

As a parent of two, now 23 and almost 26, I’ve had the opportunity to reflect on the long-term impact of how we show up, lead, and guide our children—especially while navigating the demands of military life.

This conversation will go beyond surface-level parenting advice. It’s about responsibility, resilience, accountability, and the values we model every single day.

If you’re a parent, leader, or someone invested in the next generation, I invite you to join us.

Let’s have the conversation: How do we raise respectable young adults?
