#StickonStump Motiv-Inspirationals

This past weekend I spent PUSHING POSITIVITY with #StickonStump at the 2019 Kohler's Women's Expo, downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, at Devos Place. It was a huge event with a huge crowd, and it went very well for getting Mr. Stickly and his message out to the masses. One of the things that totally makes #StickonStump worth doing is getting feedback from people. At the expo event, even if people were not buying, and simply stopping by the table to check things out, it brought a big warm smile to my face when they'd express a big warm smile and words of encouragement. The affirmation from people stating we need more positivity in our lives was astounding yet not surprising, and the reason for #StickonStump remains clear in my mind and heart: WE NEED MORE POSITIVITY. WE NEED KINDNESS AND STRENGTH TO MOVE FORWARD. And we cannot do this alone, and do not need to do this alone. Which is another reason for #StickonStump... he's here, I'm here, as a friend, new or o...

Tis Halloween, a day for Trick or Treating, and hopefully both. It is a day you can dress up however you want, and have a little fun. It is a DAY TO BE DIFFERENT. While it is a day to be different on the outside, it is also a great day to decide to be different on the inside. I keep saying it, I know: the world is a crazy place.

We are strong together, and you are with me, and I am with you. We won't fear the night, because night is part of the day, and the day is part of this thing called LIFE. And we will walk together.

#StumponStick Interview By Peter Welmerink I met STICK on a day that I was very depressed. Facebook was driving me crazy with all the political rants and warring factions who used to be friends. Twitter. No. Nightly news. God no! Work was plowing me under. I needed a pick-me-up. And then I met STICK. He said: “Listen, dude, you gotta shellax. You are waaay too wrapped around the world’s axle. Let me take you to my favorite spot in the woods, and share some of my wisdom and thoughts with you.” The rest is history. Sit back. Relax. Release your cares of and for the world and life, and hang out with #StickonStump for a bit. # PJW: People have mentioned that you remind them a lot of THE THINKER. What are your thoughts on that. #SoS: The Thinker (French: Le Penseur) is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin. He’s a stature. I’m a stick. Stick on a stump. PJW: People (mainly the grammatically correct) have said #stickonstump is not grammatical...
