Some of them are trying to protect you.

I once walked across a bed of hot coals. Then, I did it again.

The first time felt like proof I could do anything.

The second time left me with second-degree burns across my foot… and a question I couldn’t shake:

WTF?

This story is about the difference between resistance and wisdom—and how easy it is to confuse the two.

Sometimes the moments that change our lives don’t look like turning points.

They look like interruptions.
Like detours.
Like something that doesn’t quite make sense at the time.

And yet…

when you look back, you can see it clearly—
that was the moment everything shifted.

💜

What’s one moment like that for you?

Some of the most important decisions in our lives don’t arrive with a plan.

They arrive as a moment that asks to be trusted.

It happened in a small-town diner parking lot at sunrise. I had a head cold, a bad attitude, and one clear plan:
Get on the plane and go home. And then—out of nowhere—a voice cut through everything: "You have to stay here." It didn’t make sense. "You have to stay here." No next step. Just an insistence from within I couldn’t ignore. So I didn’t.

Most of us think clarity arrives when we’re calm, centered, and ready. But what if it doesn’t? What if the moments that change everything arrive when you’re tired…
when your plans fall apart…
when something inside you refuses to be ignored?
I didn’t have a map.
I had a moment.
And I chose to trust it.

This week’s Field Note is about those moments—the ones that don’t look like answers but quietly change the direction of your life.

Crikies!!!

FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM MST SATURDAY...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by avalanches along the Big Wood River near Hailey blocking the river.

* WHERE...A portion of central Idaho, including Blaine County

* WHEN...Until 1000 AM MST Saturday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding along the Big Wood River and nearby low-lying
and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 1049 AM MST, emergency management reported flooding in the warned area. Flooding is already occurring.
- Avalanches along the Big Wood River near Hailey have led to
ice and snow damming of the Big Wood River above the Bullion
Street Bridge. This is leading to water pooling above the blockage, flooding some upstream locations. The snow and ice jamming will likely erode over the coming hours releasing the backed up water. This will lead to rapidly rising water downstream of the blockage. Stay away from the river until
normal flows are established and the threat of flooding
subsides.
- Some locations that will experience flooding include...Hailey.
