By Steve Gwisdalla ([email protected]) My son plays soccer. He is the Goalkeeper for Dexter High School and has been the starter on Varsity both his freshman year and this season.

By Steve Gwisdalla My friends, here in our happy little (but growing) Tribe of Up, we advocate for more joy and help uplift those who need it. Sometimes, being up can be difficult.

By Steve Gwisdalla Ask any high school senior this question and see what you get in return. “What do you want to do when…” When you grow up, finish school, whatever. Ask them that and then ask why? Why do you want to be a doctor or lawyer or basketball player? Usually, it boils down ...
By Steve Gwisdalla In my life, recent and past, I have failed my friends. I have failed my family. I have struck out swinging and I have watched perfect pitches cross my proverbial home plate and never swung life’s bat. I have failed gloriously in this life. The sad truth is, we all have. I ...

By Steve Gwisdalla My friends, in the Tribe of Up, we seek to create, discover, and promote all things up. We are not interested in game playing (unless it is cornhole, euchre, or dirty marbles…Shout out to you Chuck Hopkins). We do not care about things that polarize. We seek to advocate for more joy ...
By Steve Gwisdalla Occasionally, baby lambs are rejected by their mothers. Sometimes, the mother is ill. Other times, she gives birth to twins or triplets, and she knows she only has enough milk for one. Occasionally, she dies giving birth.

By Steve Gwisdalla Do you know or have you ever known a person who simply makes your soul smile? Someone who just makes the room brighter when they enter. Someone who is changing the world? Someone who inspires you to be better? Our world seems ever closer to spinning out of control. Bombs falling in ...
By Steve Gwisdalla Hello Tribe of Up! Recently, I overheard a conversation where two people were complaining about a shared friend. I was not eavesdropping. They were incredibly loud, and I am certain others were listening to them as well. They complained about this friend being the type that ‘only called when something was wrong ...
