Breaking The Stigma

May 05, 2021 by Blake Mitchamore in Mental Health

The topic of mental health is something that’s particularly important to me.

I really started to think about a few years ago when I lost a friend to suicide. I remember it like it was yesterday. The phone call finding out he was gone. Being shocked that he chose to end his life. Being shocked that he was struggling that bad. I didn’t know. I struggled with that. Struggling with the thought I didn’t know he was in a bad place. Struggling with the feeling that I could and should have tried to do more to be there with him.

Goodbye Old Friend

September 26, 2019 by Blake Mitchamore in Sports

I have so many memories of watching baseball at Globe Life Park. I prefer to call it the Ballpark in Arlington.

As a kid I just loved baseball. As an adult I’ve grown to have such an emotional connection to the sport because of my Dad. I was lucky enough growing up with a Dad who got season tickets to the Rangers for years through his business. Because of that I’ve gone to far more Rangers games than any other sports team in the Dallas area. It’s not even close.

Father's Day Thoughts

June 15, 2019 by Blake Mitchamore

Today is a weird day for me.

At first it was horrible. I dreaded the day each year when it came up. It was Father’s Day and my Father was gone. It was rough day and a harsh reminder of it each year.

It’s been almost fourteen years now and the day still isn’t easy. I don’t dread it like I used too.

Improving as a Leader

June 13, 2019 by Blake Mitchamore in Careers, Leadership

The title of my blog is Learning, Improving, Evolving. I gave it that title for a reason. That’s what I want to represent. That’s the person I want to be. For too long I was content just to exist. To be the same person year in and year out. I want to constantly improve. Learn from my experiences and improve. Evolve into a better version of myself.

One of the major areas I’ve tried to do this in is leadership.

Finding My Way Back

June 10, 2019 by Blake Mitchamore in God

Those that know me personally know my story. They know that God was a major part of my life. I was saved at 18. In my mid to late 20’s I spent most of my time working for different ministries in volunteer capacities as well as being employed.

Then life threw me a big curveball.

At 31 I got married.
