A Spring (not screen) Refresh

Josh, Tricia & their 2 kids came to us a few months ago looking tired. They shared their exhaustion from "life's treadmill" and wanted a rest. They were in search of time on a neutral playing field (not at home, the office, or their in-laws backyard) to discuss how to find the joy they felt was missing from their day to day lives.


We accepted the challenge.


Over 75% of Americans experience health impacts due to stress in the prior month, including headache, fatigue, feeling nervous or anxious, and/or feeling depressed or sad (www.apa.org).


Josh and Tricia needed rest. Some quiet time. They parked their RV for a long weekend at Lone Oak. 


For nearly the same cost as dinner and a movie, they spent 2 nights and 3 days resting, walking, talking, listening, & reading. Their kids played (outside). They fished and explored. They forgot about their yard, checkbook, in-laws, house and jobs.  They created a plan for their return home. They added some quiet time (screen-less) and eliminated some extra activities they knew weren’t serving them well.


They implemented their plan before they departed. It worked. 


They’re now enjoying life more. Doing less, and actually having more. Their personal finances are balanced. Tricia took a job she enjoys, and the kids are thriving in school. Most importantly, they feel more joy…at peace with their lives and one another.


They plan to return to Lone Oak once each month for a "micro-reset." 


The small amount of money you’ll spend on an RV hookup, hotel room, or guest home will return TEN-FOLD in energy, relationships, opportunity, peace and quality of life.


Whether at Lone Oak or somewhere else, we’re encouraging you to take time to refresh.


Live well,


Brian

Why do we avoid knowing where we might be able to improve?

Then I took a breath and thought… Maybe I’m not the best person to answer those questions.

Somewhere along the way, many of us stopped exploring. Yet some people still find a way to run in the fields.

Show Grace. "Grace is the bridge that spans two pieces of land—often while the water rages beneath."

Jeff stopped me mid-sentence and said, “I’m going to share something you told me 30 years ago.”

As I shared with the students, fear sits at the root of many of our decisions. When we move through it, we discover freedom. Fearless choices open the door to living fully alive.

Everyone wants to feel uniquely desired . And often, we chase that by trying to become something—or someone—we’re not. Deep down, we know better .

The encouragement I focus on is designed to create a powerful internal shift within the person receiving it — a personal transformation that begins the moment the words are spoken.

A darker night sky feels unfamiliar, and those sounds at dusk? They’re coyotes, not saber-toothed tigers.
