Two weeks. That's all that stands between us and Gathering of Nations! I'm getting excited and nervous! Yes, I always get nervous before our live stream trips.

Before anything else, I need you to do one thing: go read the updated information about our live stream this year. The Gathering of Nations Committee has made the decision to go pay-per-view for...

Reader April is here, where is 2026 going? Is it going by fast for you? I'm on the way home from a trip and can't wait to get home and edit the photos and videos. While we were in Progresso, Mexico we visited Mayan ruins. Our tour guide told us about the Indigenous culture that lived in the Yucatan area of Mexico. We also visited a salt flat where they have been harvesting pink salt for hundreds of years. I'll share more of our photos and video on my personal Facebook profile and in our...

Reader I know, I know a Wednesday email? I promise I wouldn't slide into your inbox on an off day unless it was worth it. And I genuinely think this is worth it. I've got two brand-new things to share with you, so let's get into it. ✨ #1 — Our Very First Live Beading Class! This one has me SO excited.

Reader Are you ready for a great week! I’m writing this first thing this morning, and as soon as I finish, I’m heading to the theater to see Project Hail Mary. It’s one of my favorite books of all time, and I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a long time. Now, I’ll be honest, I don’t go to the movies much these days. I’m old and curmudgeonly enough now that people being on their phones, talking during the movie, and generally acting like they’re in their living room drives me a little...

Happy Monday Reader, We made it back home last night from the Catawba Powwow up in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and I’ve got to say, we had an absolutely great time. They put on a really good Powwow, and after talking with folks in the community, you can tell they are putting real effort into growing this event and making it one of the highlights on the East Coast. It was exciting to see them bring it back to Rock Hill, and it looks like they’ll be at the Winthrop Coliseum for the next few...

Hey Reader, South Carolina is finally starting to feel like spring, and I am not mad about it one bit. We’ve had a stretch of beautiful 70-degree days, and this past weekend was just about perfect. I got to spend some time catching up with old friends from my camp staff days, sitting around a fire, enjoying the weather, and just slowing down for a little bit. Now it’s time to shift gears, because this weekend we head to Rock Hill, South Carolina, for the Catawba Pow Wow, and I’m really...

Hey Reader, Things have finally settled down here in Lexington. The weather is back to normal and, good news, no earthquakes this week. It’s amazing what starts to feel “normal” after a weird stretch like that. I even got out Sunday morning and played a full round of disc golf, which felt like a little victory. Have you ever tried it? If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s honestly a great sport and a fun excuse to get outside. On the PowWows.com side, this past weekend was a good one. We worked...
