Breaking Patterns with Patterns: Why Trauma Needs Rhythm to Heal

May 19, 2025

Here’s your **social media blurb** to pair with the graphic:

—

✨ **Trauma lives in patterns. Healing does too.** ✨
Repetitive thoughts. Fight-or-flight responses. Emotional shutdown. These aren’t just habits — they’re survival rhythms. But what if the way out… is through a different rhythm?

💡 Rhythmic repetition, like therapeutic drumming, offers a new pattern — one that calms the nervous system, activates both sides of the brain, and invites the body into safety.

This is how we break trauma loops:
**With sound. With movement. With rhythm.**
🔁 One beat at a time.

A Love Letter to East Texas

May 18, 2025

“The Great City of East Texas: A New Vision for Unity, Culture, and Community”

Have you ever imagined East Texas as more than a collection of towns—but as one connected city?

From Longview to Tyler, Nacogdoches to Lufkin, and through every small town and backroad community in between, there’s a powerful truth: East Texas is one of the most culturally rich, resilient, and tight-knit regions in the country. What if we embraced a mindset that reflected that unity?

In this post, we explore the idea of The Great City of East Texas—a collective identity where towns become boroughs, neighbors become fellow citizens, and East Texans see themselves as part of a shared future. Inspired by the borough model of cities like New York, this vision offers a new way to think about community collaboration, cultural pride, and regional storytelling.

Whether you’re from Bullard, Gilmer, Livingston, or Longview, this vision includes you.

In this blog post, you’ll discover:
Why East Texas already moves like one city

How area codes 903 and 936 tell the story of unity

What a borough-based mindset could mean for our culture and economy

A call to name this collective identity together

It’s time to reconnect and reimagine. Read on and join the conversation:
What should we call the united city of East Texas?
