Year five camping was a success!
We played games, did team building activities, sang karaoke, danced, laughed, chilled in hammocks and around fires, had meetings and meditations, took naps and walks, swam and so much more.
Grateful for the opportunity to be present with these ladies and love them back to life.
These women work hard each day at rebuilding their lives, they deserve to have a few days to goof off and enjoy the little things.
As always we had graduates return to spend the weekend with us and a few who have not missed a camp out yet.
Our family continues to grow and weekends like these, with everyone together, push the staff to keep going on hard days because these moments are proof that we're doing something right.

I got caught up looking in all of the memories of our previous camping trips. Man they make me smile.
5 years ago I embarked on a journey with just the bed of my truck loaded and 14 women. The following year it was the bed of my truck in the back of an SUV and 25 women.
Year 3 I moved up to a truck and a trailer and 40 women.
Last year I used a truck and a trailer and I had 45 women.
This morning I'm loading up with my SUV and an enclosed trailer and have a headcount of over 50 that will be joining us this weekend.
All the food has been prepped. All the tents have been packed. Headed off to get gas for the generator and ice for the coolers and then we embark.
The camp trip continues to be a lot of effort and a lot of work. But taking these women off grid for a few days to work on team building resting and resetting is priceless.
Please pray for us to have great weather and wonderful fellowship this weekend.

Last night we were honored to host the annual overdose awareness event at the fairgrounds with Mercy Street.
Each year the event continues to grow and exceed our expectations.
We are so incredibly grateful for Harry's Taphouse and Kitchen and their generous donation of 350 incredible meals And Sweet Pea Catering Company LLC for providing a huge spread of desserts. While we hate to run out of food, we are so excited that over 350 people came out last night!
In addition to the food donations, we are so grateful for the sound guy, the band, the phenomenal speaker and all of the community members that helped to set up and tear down the space for the event.
We could not do this without all the behind the scenes helpers.
We are grateful for the community members that continue to come out to support those in recovery, pray for those still suffering, honor those that are no longer with us and learn about education, treatment and prevention resources in our community.
The Harrison County coroner was able to share statistics and the trend that overdose deaths are way down in 2025. Last year in Harrison County there were 12 deaths due to overdose. As of yesterday there have only been four this year. He also shared that EMS calls to respond to potential overdose or complications with drugs and alcohol is down 44% since 2023. Lastly, he shared with us that due to the opioid settlement funds, over $250,000 has been returned to the community this year to help continue to lower overdose rates and provide services for those are ready to get better.
From everything that he told us, we are on the right track Harrison County!
We will continue to work to erase the stigma surrounding substance use and mental health issues and we will remind you that we do recover!

We are so grateful to Backroads Market and all of the community for making our paint your partner night possible.
We started off the evening with a Thanksgiving dinner in August using up our dare-to-Care donations.
Then we had a picnic outside and enjoyed a beautiful walk down the square.
While some of the ladies were apprehensive nervous and even a little fearful to be painting another person, and halfway through the project they became overwhelmed. But despite the heavy feelings, laughter still rang out throughout the room.
What a beautiful reminder that coming into recovery is scary and overwhelming and that we're afraid of disappointing people that we care about. But how much fun it can be if we just push ourselves out of our comfort zone and give it a try.
Thank you Corydon for giving us an opportunity to try new and hard things.
We crushed it! (We even have a balloon to prove it)

Tiffany and I escaped the office to go to Samtec Cares today to receive a grant award. We are so excited to update the computers and phones for the ladies... And we get to add tablets to the mix! This will allow them to video visit family and read e books.
We are grateful for organizations like Samtec and their generous giving back to the community.

We had a great time visiting the 2025 duck Derby winner and the 2025 top seller today! We visited their friends and took them pizza and ice cream. We heard some jokes and saw some incredible dance moves.
Thank you so much to South Harrison schools and all the parents who supported us!
