Our Progress

Welcome to Our Progress Page

This is where we share our journey—openly and honestly. You'll find updates on where we are, where we're heading, and the challenges we’ve faced along the way. Transparency is key to building trust, and here, we’ll celebrate our successes, reflect on our failures, and keep you informed about the evolution of HI. This isn’t just about us—it’s about growing together, one step at a time. 

01-04-25: Started "Our Progress" page. This is where I'll post daily updates, news, failures, and successes. For instance, yesturday I tried to tell and offer a pastor of a church group what HI was all about.  She wouldn't even here what I had to say. But I'm still hear, I'll never give up, and I got some really good ideas while at the above service on how to do a live seminar, even though imperfect. That's what HI is all about, running into barriers and overcoming them. Thanks for being part of the initiative. Decided that I would create an auto-biography with images about my journey and how I got to this point and beyond. Once finished I will convert it to an audio book as well.

07/31/25 - Finished "The Quiet Refusal". Set up the initial posts. Paused the GO FUND ME campaign as my SS# is comprimised. More info to come.

08/23/25 - It's been a work in progress. The Quiet Refusal is added to the HI website. Opened a second Go Fund Me for my personal use in sustaining myself in the current system. This effectively separates the funds I use for the funds HI uses to build regenerative systems.  Thank you for your support!

08/26/26 - Tiding up some loose ends. Preparing for video launch tomorrow at 1200. The countdown has begun.

09-01-25 - Release of our youtube video

09-03-25 - New poll question: "Add Your Voice"

09-09-25 - Even in the storm, light breaks through.

This week HI is keeping it simple: sharing the vision, inviting others into the conversation, and remembering that what looks like chaos can also be illumination.

Our latest posts on Facebook and X use a lightning storm over Moab as a reminder that clarity often arrives in the middle of disruption.

HI is not about shouting louder — it’s about tugging gently, offering another way, and building community piece by piece.

Be part of the conversation. Despite the chaos — we win.

09-15-25 - ✨ Small Wins, Big Gratitude ✨

These past weeks have reminded me that when you give, you also receive.

I’ve been blessed to spend time:

• Helping in a community garden 🌿
  
  

• Serving at the church pantry & soup kitchen 🍲
  
  

• Supporting local centers however I can 🙌
  
  

And in return, I’ve received a multitude of unexpected gifts:

• $125 in vouchers from a local group
  
  

• $30 from kind strangers
  
  

• A canopy frame (found in the trash!) that I can patch with a tarp
  
  

• Coffee mugs I was able to pass along
  
  

• A free burner from the thrift store → hot meals again! 

• Each piece feels like a step forward. I’m deeply grateful to this community for opening its arms. 💛 It’s not all easy — my vehicle (and home) now has rear brakes grinding metal-on-metal. Safety and stability remain a real need. But I share this not to complain — only to show the reality: by giving back, I’ve received even more than I imagined. 

• 🙏 Despite the chaos — We win ⚡
