Four are dead. One is missing. And nothing about the scene adds up. At the height of camping season in the Adirondacks, two hikers stumble upon a blood-soaked campsite: tents torn open from within, drag marks leading into the trees, and four young adults dead. Some found inside the camp, others scattered in the woods, barefoot and broken. A fifth camper is missing. There are tracks. There is blood. There are signs of struggle. But to seasoned eyes, something feels wrong. It's too chaotic, too deliberate, almost as if someone wanted it to look like an animal attack.

In the quiet valleys of southern Utah, in 1857, over 120 men, women, and children from Arkansas were brutally murdered by Mormon settlers and their allies. It was one of the darkest chapters in American frontier history—an event that has long remained shrouded in silence, misdirection, and denial. The Mountain Meadows Massacre is more than a historical crime; it is a story of how fear, fanaticism, and blind allegiance to religious authority can lead to devastating consequences. And for far too long, it has been treated as an inconvenient footnote by those who should have faced it head-on.

Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said, “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” He must’ve been a Phillies fan. The Philadelphia Phillies, a franchise nearly 150 years old, has only reached its grand destination twice (World Series wins in 1980 and 2008), but it harbors the most fervent fan base in baseball. How? Well, Olive Garden famously said, “When you’re here, you’re family.” The Phillies—warts and all—have been an inextricable part of the city, and the lives of the fans who cheered them on. The team’s story is part of our story.

I will guide you through the six stages of life—a framework born from decades behind the barber chair, countless conversations with clients, and my personal journey from immigrant teenager to salon owner, author, and teacher. Each stage reflects not just what you care about, but how you see yourself, and how others see you. What toys mean to a child, relationships mean to a young adult. What balance means in your thirties, empathy begins to teach you in your forties. And when you pass fifty, the true superpower is not avoiding stress—it is mastering feelings, turning negatives into positives.
