People often ask if I miss my work at US Africa Command and with the peacekeeping community since retiring 7 months ago. My answer often has been that I'm far too busy to miss anything. But in truth, I do - particularly the comradery of the various teams we worked with chasing rather lofty aspirations and ideals. So having a guest show up to stay with us in Ireland (Leo Quinlan) who is the son of the Irish commander at the Siege of Jadotville, the builder of Ireland's first Special Assault Group, an significant post-Army EU career, and now educator / speaker was truly a privilege!

Leo and his partners now run www.Moralinjuryinternational.com; something I was largely unaware of until their stay with us. Similar to PTSD, I highly recommend people visit their site and listen to some of their (fully free) educational podcasts. Fair warning - they can be a bit addictive..!

Thank you Leo! Julia and I will certainly reach out next time we head towards your corner of Ireland and our welcome matt is always out!

2023 is starting with a unique start…. As some of you may know, the Kilmahon Matriarch, Julia, is married to an American, Mike, who, for the last three years, has been finishing his service with the US Army in Germany. Leaving Julia to run things in Shanagarry solo. But that is over and he is on his way to properly join team Julia at the Kilmahon full time! 🥂

With the season coming to an end, and some winter time travel coming, we were worried our Kilmahon House would get lonely, so we're getting a house-pet. So-to-speak..... The Tiny House stork should arrive in a few weeks....!
