Brian “Sponge” Savage: A Legacy Carried Forward Nearly Three Decades of Showing Up My husband, Brian “Sponge” Savage, has been part of the Bath Area Family YMCA since the late 1990's. Nearly three decades of commitment to one community, one mission, and generations of kids who have grown up under his steady presence. The Long Reach Swim Club became something extraordinary under the leadership of his brother-in-law, Jay Morissette.

So incredibly proud of my husband. 💙

LRSC just won its 36th consecutive YMCA State Championship, and Brian “Sponge” Savage was named Coach of the Year.

He stepped up when it mattered most. I have never been more proud.

Author Spotlight: Scott Ickes Honor. Integrity. Infinity. Some writers chase spectacle.Some chase twists. Scott Ickes writes about something quieter, and far more enduring. He writes about honor. The Foundation: Right and Wrong Still Matter Scott’s worldview is simple, though not simplistic. There is right. There is wrong. And the choice between the two shapes everything that follows. His sense of morality wasn’t developed in theory.

Honor. Integrity. Infinity.
One decision. One ripple. One life that multiplies.

Meet sci-fi author Scott Ickes and the moral universe behind FIRST CONTACT.

Support indie. Live bold.

Episode 16: The Truth About Time – Why You Have More Than You Think At some point, you stop and ask yourself a question that lands deeper than expected. You pause mid-thought and wonder: What if time was never the problem? Not the hours on the clock or the schedule.Not the responsibilities you juggle every day. What if the real barrier was the story you were handed? The one that says you’re too busy.That you’re stretched thin.That you’re behind and always will be. You didn’t choose that story.You learned it. And the wild part is this:You may have been living inside it not because it’s true, but because it’s familiar.

People ask me all the time how I “find time” to do everything I do.

Here’s the truth: I don’t find it. I choose it.

This episode is about reclaiming time without hustle, burnout, or guilt.

Listen if you’re ready to rethink the story you’ve been telling yourself.

The Four Stages of Growth: Identity, Awareness, Alignment, and Action Growth is not a single moment of clarity. It is a quiet sequence of changes that begin deep inside you. The four stages of identity, awareness, alignment, and action shape every transformation. When you stop performing and start living from who you truly are, your life stops feeling forced and begins to feel like your own.

New on the blog. The four stages of growth that shape every transformation.

Give it a read, share it with someone who is becoming, and tell me which stage you feel in right now.

Let’s talk about it.

The Cost and Gift of Growth The journey of growth involves shedding past layers and recognizing loss as a pathway to transformation. Real growth emerges from releasing what no longer serves us, fostering stillness, and embracing change. Grief accompanies growth, but it evolves into gratitude, revealing deeper connections and opening space for new possibilities and clarity.

🎧 Listen to Episode 11: The Cost and Gift of Growth

Growth isn’t about adding more. It’s about releasing what no longer fits. Every ending creates space for becoming. Dive into the quiet, the shedding, and the beauty of transformation.

Be Water, My Friend: The Savage Art of Adaptability “Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”– Bruce Lee What if your greatest strength wasn’t power or persistence—but fluidity? In a world that praises hustle and force, Bruce Lee’s wisdom cuts through like a blade. Be water. It's not just poetic. It’s a mindset. A philosophy. A way of moving through life with grace, awareness, and explosive potential.

What if power isn’t in the push—but in the flow? Bruce Lee said it best: Be water. Adapt. Crash. Reflect. Lead with fluid strength. New post up now on leading The Savage Way. Read it, share it, ripple it.
