What I learned from the jouney within.

Scire et cognoscere veritatem: To know and to come to understand truth. The Core Philosophy - There exists a singular, fundamental consciousness at the depth of complete unity. It is not a thinking mind but a pure awareness — eternal, infinite, and the essence of all that is. - This awareness chos...

About 14 years ago Dustin (my boyfriend at the time) approached me with an opportunity to start a salon.
Immediately I was terrified and said:
“no way. We would all wear cute matching outfits and I would forget to pay the light bill.”
🥹🫠😆
He sat down with me over dinner and basically told me all the qualities I didn’t see in myself at the time.

I decided to take the leap.

Its been a huge learning experience for me and I love what I do so much. I feel so grateful I could grow as a woman/stylist/employer in this space.

And it was all because one person believed in me. I want to celebrate and express gratitude for him today.

He’s encouraging, patient, helpful, skilled, intelligent, present, and understanding,

By the opportunity he gave me became a chain of opportunity to so many other people I care about it.

He started and succesfully brought several other local businesses to kokomo. he has presented so many opportunities for great leaders/people in business in this city. By giving them a chance.

I wanted to say thank you, and without you there would be no Fade. (Or many other businesses)

We appreciate you.

Thank you for believing in all of us.

The latest project I have been working on with my amazing partner and local team. Check it out - like and follow!

📢 BRICK STREET DELI 🧱 HONORING HISTORY & SERVING UP SOMETHING NEW!

At 503 + 505 N. Buckeye St., in a building that has stood for generations, we’re breathing new life into a piece of Kokomo’s history. Sitting right on a brick road that has seen decades of hard work, community, and progress, our space is about to become a place where people gather once again, this time, over damn good food.

🔥 First Up: Brick Street Deli
A sandwich shop that keeps it simple and gets it right. Handcrafted deli sandwiches, fresh ingredients, and house-made sides, all toasted to perfection. No fryers, no shortcuts... just real food, done right.

🌿 Next: Notion Co.
Brick Street Deli is just Phase One. Soon, we’ll introduce Notion Co., a chef-driven diner that celebrates local ingredients, thoughtful cooking, and the people who make Kokomo great.

📢 Opening date TBD! Stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, tell us: What’s your go-to deli sandwich? We just might make it a reality. ⬇️🔥

Around 30-40% of our population has been psychologically programmed subversively.
They are victims and face a difficult deprogramming process. Give them grace and encouragement. “Give them the gentle truth.”
We want and need them back.
How does any one of us know for sure that we hold the truth and aren’t among the programmed?
Discover for yourself.

Untangling Reality with a Rational Gaze

Scott Blackwell is an esteemed professor of the Humanities, English, Rhetoric, and Philosophy who has taught at several major universities, Including Indiana and Ball State University. In addition to the classroom and online, he has also taught in the Miami County Prison, giving him a unique perspective of society. He is also an Actor, a True Crime, and a Trivia Buff, to mention some of his interesting accolades.
He shares some of his experiences with us while using his keenly critical and rational mind to search for relevant truth to our current situation while critiquing one of my publications, "Apatheia Saves The West". He offers a clear, unbiased description of what things truly are versus what they seem to be or we may like them to be. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

"... the West desperately lacks the strength and resilience of the greatest good we were founded upon: resilient individuals. Weak, overly compassionate, and often narcissistic activism is no replacement for Courage to enact Justice. Slanted facts and self-aggrandizing persuasive posturing is no replacement for Wisdom. Satiating irrational desires is no substitute for aligning with the truth. Victim narratives are a poison to the psyche, completely antithetical to the heroic narrative that made our culture the envy of the world. Every person chooses their own story, whether they ever have the courage to admit that responsibility or not."

Apatheia Saves the West - by Dustin Ogle Our great civilization arose from seeking truth despite emotion, but it has fallen to seeking desire & emotion as a respite from truth. How is this possible?

…”Glorious amelioration is a victory of total responsibility. It is realizing that you are the authority, not the victim. It's the power of a profound truth that the only injuries that survive more than a mere moment are the ones we choose to keep alive. We may believe we deserve them. This fearful identity isn’t you; it lives as you because you allow it and identify with it as you.”…

Healing is a dangerous goal when applied to anything other than your body. While it isn’t inaccurate to describe that there is a process to improving the state of one’s emotions and psychology, it is a deception by a contumacious identity to conceptualize that process as healing. If you are tryi...

Chapter 6 "What You Really Want" excerpt.

"...Thus far, you have learned to put yourself in a position of self-control that is pointed toward self-mastery. Vincit qui se vincit - One conquers, who conquers oneself. You should quickly start becoming able to let go of things inside that were clouding your current most valuable purpose. Your most valuable purpose is what you truly want, and you can tell when you come across it by how it feels.
The practices in "We Aren't Who We Are" will bring this inspiration into the light, so to speak. If you put forth an honorable effort, the likelihood that you will be struck with deep inspiration in the near future will increase dramatically. I believe it is a certainty.
It will strike you as the most meaningful and important endeavor at the moment, even if you don't know why. Especially if other people may think it's stupid or inappropriate.
When you notice that inspired feeling, don't apply reason or question it yet; you must foster it and give it attention, or it will fade quickly and can die. You are looking for that curious thread to pull on. And to have the energy and time to pull on it and chase your inspiration.
To do so, you'll have to let go of some things outside of you..."

Now is the time to read this article!
Stoicism is the solution.
Consorting with the crowd and succumbing to pathos is the problem.
The ancient Greek warning was right, and their solution still works.

I thought I would try audio narrative to express deep human ideas. Check it out.

This is a short thought experiment and a narrative with many layers of depth. Each listener will interpret and respond to the imagery uniquely and hopefully ...

It’s risky to stare into the depths of a problem too long. That is how one begins to make a problem become part of oneself.
It’s much more effective for humans to attempt an ignorant solution early and observe how the problem responds. That way, we learn how the problem wants to be solved. All we need to know about a problem is its relationship to the solution.
