Pat Wright | Rhymes and Rambles: Free At Last!! →
This was going to be a huge existential piece on life, chapters, and the progression of maturation. But as I wrote all those things were getting in the way of what I want to say. Yesterday I quit my day job or my “preoccupation” as my brother Mark would say. I’ve been busting my butt for…

I love shopping for clothing, more than shopping for clothing …is the reason I love shopping…I buy nothing with just the meaning that it looks good and is “So Tres Chic”. Sometimes I buy things because the very action of buying certain clothing items means something significant and relevant…

We Aren’t Alone
We aren’t alone. We aren’t alone when we face hardship. We aren’t alone when we experience blessing. Then how come we walk this life as if we are alone? How come we don’t run this life as if we aren’t alone? For this is the truth: We aren’t alone. We may feel alone. We may seem alone. We may act alone. We may even want to be alone, but we aren’t alone.
If only we realized we aren’t...

Unbiased Smiles
Here is a journal entry from my last trip to Nicaragua. It was originally posted on the Project Nicaragua blog, which was replaced with One Thread’s blog (visit here), so I thought I would repost. As you will read below, I met a little girl name Ani (pictured above) down in Nicaragua. She has been blind from birth but they tell me there is some sort of surgery they can do for her. I am...

Thinking Globally, Working Locally
“Thinking globally, working locally.” I saw this slogan on a dumpster tonight. This phrase caught my thoughts. We at One Thread Outfitters have a global mindset with a vision to meet the needs of the world. We will always be thinking globally, but we must also be working locally. With humanitarian projects now in two countries, we are exploring local needs and how to meet them in our...
How You Can Have a Personal Relationship with God
Everywhere around the world, people share the same deep concerns. As humans we desire meaningful relationships. Also, part of our human nature is to wonder what happens to us after we die. Down through history the vast majority of people have realized there is more to life than the material world we see. Most people recognize there is a supernatural aspect to life and that God exists....

Pat Wright | Rhymes and Rambles: a thought →
I was reading back over the last year or so of my life I’ve recorded on here and came across this post. It’s a little tender to admit that it brought a mist to my eyes. The road traveled since has been the stuff of mountain tops and canyon bottoms, sunshine naps and drowning rain. I had lunch…

Thankful Thursdays
Any success book or motivational speaker will tell you that it’s important to have the right mindset. There are multiple ways and practices to sustain a positive and healthy mindset (which I might write on later), but one thing I’ve decided to do, which at first might seem small, is Thankful Thursdays. On Thursdays (I might not hit every Thursday) I will be tweeting about something or...

$9 BOTTLE OF ZICAM
I just bought a $9 bottle of Zicam and realized that what I spent on it could provid 40 meals to a hungry family of four in Nicaragua. That’s exactly what happens for every Project Nicaragua shirt purchased. Last year, One Thread Outfitters was able to provide over 10,000 meals through the sales of its shirts. Let’s make 2010 an even greater impact. Buy your shirt here and read...

INCREDIBLE ODDS
“[T]he mathematical probability of just 8 Old Testament prophecies being fulfilled in any one person living down to the present time” (a) is one chance in a hundred million billion. There are about 60 major prophecies concerning the Messiah. Jesus Christ fulfilled all of them. With odds like that, maybe you should think about investing your life in Christ.

GET IT IN FOCUS MAN
Am I focusing on what is pure and holy? What builds others up? What adds value to my life and others? What is beneficial and healthy? What is productive?
Or am I focusing on what tears me down? What hurts and exploits others? What holds me back? What is destructive? What I know is slowly tearing and eating at my soul?
Questions I challenge myself with. Am I who I claim to be?
I try...

There’s a lot to learn when starting a business! It’s one thing to learn business principles in college; it’s a totally different thing to implement them in your company or your start-up.
Even with an undergraduate and masters degree in business, starting One Thread Outfitters brings challenges and learning experiences (some that I would never have imagined and classes cannot...

AGAINST THE FLOW
This was a post I made back in May 2009 on my old blog. I’ve been thinking about/dealing with this tonight, so I thought I would re-post it (with some additions). Let me know your thoughts.
May 2009: It’s easy to go with the flow. It’s difficult to go against it. Some go with the flow simply because they are afraid of conflict. Others will not stand against it because they are afraid...
