I am thrilled to report that the Prison Journalism Project (PJP) contacted me on Friday to report that they are close to publishing my first article, Love of Art, on their website. I also submitted a second piece not too long ago (end of March) and they are interested in this one as well. The […]

Carolynne Noffsinger-04/29/2025-The Super Secret Breakfast

You wouldn’t think it from my posts on here, but when I get out behind the computer, or a podium, I am pretty reserved. When I am teaching, or sharing something I am passionate about in a public forum, while consulting or in church, I don’t appear to be introverted at all. But, as my […]

Krishna P.-04/29/2025-Prepping for Prison

5:30 a.m. — Wake, no snooze. Ten minutes of silent prayer to set intentions for the day. 5:45 a.m. — Cardio session: three‑mile run or 30 minutes on the rowing machine.

The prison library is supposed to be open from 8 am to 3:30 pm on Sundays. For the third week in a row, a group of us (12 of us this morning) show up to go to the library and the C.O. in charge of the library has not shown up to unlock the door. […]

Krishna P.-04/28/2025-Defining Success

This is a topic I keep coming back to—probably because it’s everything. If I don’t define what success looks like at each stage, then I’m just drifting, reacting instead of building. So today, I went deeper into the framework. I need a sharper vision, not just a vague sense of “doing better.” I need benchmarks—measurable, […]

Journal Entry  Name: Justin Norcutt  Week of April 28, 2025  This week was a dynamic blend of structured training, hands-on tasks, and travel across Arizona—a refreshing balance that allowed me to both reinforce my safety knowledge and apply it in the field.  Monday – Tucson, AZ  We kicked off the week with an afternoon MSHA […]
