History tells us that Native Americans referred to what we now call Lake Pontchartrain as Okwata, which means “wide water”. Since history is known to be subjective, YHC is calling upon the dialect from a local tribe of leaders that refers to Okwata as a “cure all”. Not feeling well? Okwata! If YHC were to ask one of our medicine men if this were true, there is no doubt the answer would be yes! Speaking of medicine men, we need a Doogie Howser! But I digress…….
We even have clinical trials, as can be seen in case study #1. One of the Pax complained of back pain, YHC recommended Okwata. Guess what? No more back pain! Take your weekly dose of Okwata, and all will be well. There is one alternative to this miracle natural remedy, but only one. The little known weekly treatment identified as “The Dome Patrol” has great healing qualities, or so it has been reported. Thursdays have so much to offer……
With two shovel flags and 6 Pax anxious to get started, YHC gave the disclaimer, then threw everyone for a loop by going on a mosey away from the fountain! All except Recall, as this was his first post to Okwata. Circle up on some grass where it just felt right for…..

It was discovered today that we may not be doing the best job of orientating the new Pax coming into the fold with all the tools available to promote accountability. For example, some Pax don’t know about ISI, which evolved into the discussion of Group Me, which in turn produced a look of “what are you talking about?” That evolved into a discussion about Backblasts, which didn’t produce a different look. Please make an effort to reach out to any newer Pax that may not know about these tools, and let’s fully bring them into the fold. Getting them onto the email is the first step, but let’s not stop there!
Thanks for posting with me today!
