His first novel, published in late 2023, was an IPPY Gold medal winner and found an early supporter in Woody Harrelson, who said, “Ordinary Soil brings to haunting life the desperate realities of the American heartland, but also offers a glimpse into a better future . . . a call to action for all of us.”

His nonfiction For The Sender book, album, and concert series has garnered praise from Huffington Post (“important, enlightening, and ultimately inspiring”), Deepak Chopra (“a beautiful tribute to the resilience of the human spirit”), Dr. Wayne Dyer (“an inspiring, thought-pro

Becoming a Father

Apparently, I’m going to become a father today. 
 
No, my partner isn’t on the way to the hospital, or pushing a baby out in our bathtub.
 
This is going down in a way I never imagined. 
 
In fact, my internal barometer as to whether I really, really wanted a kid, at any cost, has always been my willingness to adopt. And as a mostly single (not anymore), middle-aged (still happening, unfortunately) guy,

Quotes by Alex Woodard  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Surfing isn’t about someday. It’s about now. I let go of someday every time I take off on a wave and become more present in the moment. Life is better then, when I’m not thinking about me.”
Alex Woodard, For The Sender: Four Letters. Twelve Songs. One Story.

“Be selective in your battles, sometimes peace is better than being right. —CHIEF SHENANDOAH”
Alex Woodard, Ordinary Soil

“Standing there shuffling the memories on the counter, I remember what I sometimes forget. Forgiveness. Compassion. Gratitude. Three roads leading to being here now, where we can give the next moment a chance to exist without prejudice, so we can love what’s here, while it’s still here: each other, ourselves, our freedom." - excerpt from FOR THE SENDER: Love Letters from Vietnam”
Alex Woodard, For the Sender: Love Letters From Vietnam

“To affect deep change in one person is more profound and fulfilling than to be a momentary blur across the screen of many.”
