Finding Your Path
I consider myself a searcher. I also consider my time here on Earth as that of a tourist. A person who is on an all inclusive cruise getting to taste some of the sights and sounds of Earth. Considering that our planet is 4.543 billion years old, my 100 years (if I’m lucky) is not even a…

Personal Authenticity
I get to go out today and spend time with some of the most amazing and cool people I’ve ever met in my life. I bring food and water out to some homeless people on Fridays.I can’t think of any work in my life that makes me feel more alive, real and honest. #homelessness

Do The Right Thing
This is Kenny Boldt. He has instilled within me a very powerful motto: “Do the right thing.” Very often I hear his words when I am tired or lazy. “Do the right thing.” A couple weeks ago a grandma, mom and 8 year old girl were on the street. This kind of tragedy is so…

Ohio Supreme Court Declines To Hear Our Case
Our law firm, Institute for Justice, has fought as hard as anyone in this battle for the rights of homeless people. Our case has always been that a person should be allowed to shelter those most desperately in need on his own personal property. We have been beaten down every step of the way on…

Ohio Supreme Court Declines to Consider Whether Lower Courts May Create Barriers to Lawsuits
Sadly, the Ohio Supreme Court refused to hear our case that our law firm, Institute for Justice, diligently attempted to be heard. Throughout this ENTIRE process we have been fought every step of the way by the mayor, city council, zoning and courts ALL on technicalities. We simply want SOMEONE to answer the question: Does an…

Worried about her dad
80% of the time I’m able to emotionally distance myself (for my own psychological wellbeing) from the brutal suffering caused by homelessness. But sometimes it really hits me. Like this message I got last night. I’ve been friends with her dad for years. He’s lived on the street all the time I’ve known him. The…

Sage’s Quarantine Plan For Homeless People In Regards To Coronavirus
I want to put this out there sooner than later. There is a possibility I have already been exposed to coronavirus. So, in the event I get sick I want to make sure my ideas are out there. Obviously, these are just my personal opinions and if I’m out of the game then others will…

Sage’s Recommendations For Working With Homeless People In A Coronavirus World
I want to make very clear that I am not a doctor. I am simply a person who is as educated as many people are with what is happening in our world with Coronavirus. That said, I haven’t seen any realistic documentation and recommendations on how best to work with homeless people during this time…

The Force Is In All of Us
I now believe that religion is nothing more than a tool. It is a tool to help guide your life. A religion is a tool that helps you connect ever so slightly with the “All”. I believe in nearly everything: heaven, hell, reincarnation, nothing, afterlife. It’s all true. And because it’s all true, none of…

Focusing on the May 2023 Akron Mayoral Primary Election

United State and Canada 2020 Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Dates and Web site links #pitcount
(Use the hashtag #pitcount and take pictures of the new friends you meet during this count. People getting to spend a little time with homeless people is probably the best and most important part of this otherwise absurd exercise. I’d LOVE to see your pictures.) HUD requires that the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) count be held…

The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is Complete and Total Bullshit!
If ever there was a more appropriate use of the word “bullshit” in describing something I’ve never seen it. The HUD mandated homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) count is complete and total bullshit. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities to complete the count in order to receive federal funding for homeless programs. Some…
