I’m Bill Halford. I’ve traveled roads that don’t even show on a map. I’ve lived long , and been worn to goodness. I’m not here to impress you—I’m here to tell the truth the way I’ve come to know it: lived, learned, and earned. I’m guided by the Spirit, but not tied to a pew. I’ve made peace with my restless mind and found purpose in the middle of the noise. Ready or Not Now is my way of passing along what I’ve picked up along the way and what my intuition brings into view daily. If you’re curious, skeptical, or just plain tired of the circus, you’re in the right place. Let’s stick together, stay awake, walk free and keep the world from thinking for us.
