Layers of Healing Sunday April 26

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for the opportunity to Peel back the Layers of onion that is me and Heal!! As we go through life, we have stuff happen to us that we accumulate a rough, hard layer of protection around us. As time goes on, we can accumulate many layers of protection to guard out hearts from being hurt one more time.  What ends up happening is that we been crusty, just like that outside of an onion. Bitterness, hardness and resentment take over who we are...as the world sees us.

When we decide that we've had enough, we take Action!! We take the necessary steps out of our comfort zone and start to peel away all of the layers and start to heal ourselves and reveal to the world who we are at the core of our being. The way we entered this world. The way we were designed.

Layer by layer we peel away and expose ourselves by sharing our story. Layer by layer, we feel, we grieve, we forgive, we let go, we remove and we rebuild. Layer by layer we take away the hardness that we have put up to protect ourselves and rebuild what's left by forgiving ourselves, others and loving ourselves. Layer by layer we open the wounds that have left scars on our soul, in order to heal those wounds, care for them and put the proper ointment of those old wounds. As we continue to peel away the outer layers, we become softer, more accessible, more lovable, more understanding, less judgmental. Do we still get hurt?? Sure we do, and, we have the proper tools put in place to make it sting less. Just like peeling an onion, we cry and we get closer to the core, we cry less. When we start, the pungent odor makes us cry...so be prepared to cry through each layer removal. Its ok and its necessary!! We will get to the middle! It will take lots of time!! 

Is there some crusty layers of bitterness, resentment and protection that you have built up?? The time is NOW to peel away and start to heal, start to be the person you were divinely designed to be!! You are here for a Purpose, a Reason!! YOU are a Gift!! So start removing and healing today! 

I have been there! Years ago, I had built up such a layer of protection stronger that Ft. Knox so no one could hurt me...guess what?? It just made the pain harder to handle, harder to let go and I became someone that I didn't want to be. So I took steps completely out of my comfort zone and started to peel the layer after layer away, cried a lot and healed. It can be done!! And as you do this, there will come a time when you will be called to reach out and empower someone else to peel away their layers!! May your day be filled with Peeling and Healing and Forgiving and  Loving yourself and others!! Happy Sunday!! 

Be Kind Sunday March15

Good Morning Campers!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for the Opportunity to Celebrate the Life of a Wonderful 17 year old young man!! Yes, he left us too soon. Yes, our hearts breaks for the family and his loved ones. Even though, his time was done here, his time has just began in Heaven. The Legacy he left behind was how he lived his life.  He was not your average typical teenager. He had a way of looking at things differently. From a very young age, he was a peacemaker. He didn't like it when people fought or even disagreed. He was wise beyond his years, as his self awareness was far advanced than most people. He understood his Uniqueness and his Strengths. He had a passion for the Environment and for Conservation. He lived his life by leading by example. He was Kind to Others. He gave back by tutoring Second graders. He played the piano and ran track.  He was a well rounded kid. He had an artistic eye where he could draw anything. His idea of fun on the weekends was Family Game night. He will be missed by many, as he touched so many lives. To honor him, We can Be Kind to Others and Be Kind to the Environment. Love on your Family before its too late!! May your day be filled with an opportunity to Love your Family, Be Kind to Others and Be Kind to the Environment!! Happy Sunday!!

  

Aspire Tuesday March 3

Good Morning Campers!!  What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for when we Aspire for a Goal, in return, we are Inspiring another person!! How cool is that!!?? When we Focus on our Dreams and Goals, then share our progress with other people, it Inspires them to Focus on their own Dreams and Goals!! We become Cheerleaders for one another!!  Maybe that's why we are all put here... To Lift each other up, Inspire, Motivate, Help, Coach, Mentor and Empower one another!! If we focus on Who we can Motivate each day as we wake,  maybe, just maybe, we will find a different Purpose for our Lives. Instead of being Negative and Hard on ourselves and beating ourselves up; we look forward to Being someone else's Cheerleader! And then someone will be there to Coach us when we need it! May your day be filled with opportunities to be an Inspiration for someone else and may you Aspire for Greatness!!  Happy Tuesday!!
