I am so freaking proud of you and this post! When you say “Every failure is a frequency checkpoint. You can stay there, or you can climb.” I have known you since July, I have read your pain, felt your sadness and listened to your soul pour out. You have literally taken the worst of the worst situations and have flipped them upside down into a place of hope and possibilities. I’m so proud of you as a person, a father and a dear friend! You are the proof 🙏❤️

Traci, you have no idea what it means to read this. When you first started reading my work back in July, I was still trying to find my footing. Most days it felt like I was writing from the rubble. You’ve been there, seeing the raw pieces before I even knew how they fit together.

Hearing you say you’re proud of me isn’t just encouragement—it’s fuel. It reminds me that the climb isn’t just for me or for Mia, it’s for everyone who’s been stuck in that basement and thinks they’ll never get out. Thank you for seeing me, for holding space for my story, and for believing there’s more to be written than the worst of it. That matters more than you know. 🙏❤️

YES YES YES! I LOVE this! Especially when you wrote " if I can imagine myself into hell, why not try imagining myself into something higher?" Manifesting moment at it's best and worst. People think manifesting can only happen when you think good but it's rare when you hear someone say they manifested in reverse. That fact that you noticed that and you acknowledge it amazing! Now it's time to kick it up a notch and bring in the good. You deserve, Mia does too! Love this..

Appreciate you catching that. Most people only wanna talk about the shiny side of manifesting, like it’s all vision boards and perfect vibes. Nobody admits they’ve been manifesting hell half their life without even knowing it. That’s been my story—feeding the wrong pictures until they hardened around me. Now it’s about flipping the script, climbing higher, and holding it steady. Not just for me, but so Mia grows up breathing a different air. Glad those words hit you.

Yeah that is not to be looked over! That will be getting restacked! People think manifesting is all sunshine and rainbows and hey that’s cool and also it can be with the right mindset…but with the wrong mindset you are creating a monster within and around. Great post

You never fail to remind me what I came from and who I'm fighting for now. Yes, my mugshot is the only proof I have left that I ever vibrated low at all. I just love you so much brother. Thanks for your time writing this piece.

This is so powerful! It is both crazy and deeply touching to read your newsletter and realize I have a draft sitting here, waiting to be sent, that speaks to something very similar. It feels like such a beautiful synchronicity. Thank you for this!

That’s wild. Feels like sometimes the words are already in the air and we just catch ‘em at the same time. I’m glad mine found you, and I hope you send yours out—there’s always somebody waiting to breathe through it.

I have honestly heard that hypothesis before! Which is another crazy synchronicity.

It’s such a beautiful reminder that we are all tuned into the same flow of energy and ideas. I love the thought that words can find us exactly when they are meant to… and yes, I will be sending mine out. Thank you for the encouragement! I appreciate you!

That flow you’re talking about is real. I’ve fought it and I’ve drowned in it, but I’ve also learned to ride it. Glad you’re putting yours out—somebody out there’s waiting on your exact words the same way you found mine. Keep sending them.

The messages really come to us when we need them the most. It is so important to trust they will land where they are meant to! I’ll keep putting mine out there 🙌🏼

Clif High recently spoke of Neville Goddard "Rule of Assumption" the conscious awareness - and self-referrential integrity... you might be on to something. Good stuff Man! The emotional vibration one carries in the consciousness/present assembles the future you expect/intend... one's reality is forming itself (if) you can control your mind to bring about the future reality you intend/desire - much like a body builder builds muscles and 'better' health. "You are framing the future ahead of yourself through your present emotional frequency." [Clif High Pirates of the Materium substack]

Doug, I dig this. That Clif High line about “framing the future through your present emotional frequency” hits dead-on with what Neville was pushing. It’s not about daydreaming—it’s discipline, same way a lifter builds muscle. I’ve lived both sides of it, manifesting collapse when I couldn’t get my head right, and now learning to aim higher on purpose. Appreciate you bringing this in, man.

Right ON!... glad I could spread the good vibrations. We're all right where we're supposed to be Mark... any other way it would be different. Peace OUT!
