An Organization/Resource that I Love that Needs Help!



I went to a Girls Circle training in December of 2008 and it gave me the strong foundation for how to facilitate a group for young women (which is my job) and people in general -- the basic but unfamiliar idea that each person is the ONLY expert in his/her life and as facilitators, we ask the right questions to help each person answer his/her own questions. No matter how much we tell someone what they should or should not do, this does not empower them or supply them with the tools they need to make their own decisions.

So when I saw that Girls Circle Association needed help, I wanted to help with a donation but also to spread the word. Although this video doesn't explain exactly what they do (you'd have to go to a training or take a look at their manuals/curricula), I have a cameo early on! If you'd like to get more information about the organization, check out Girls Circle.

sometimes love comes around



welcome to my newest follower, mle! thank you for being the first!

update: making the most out of what's going on. being positive. keeping myself healthy. maintaining my important relationships. creating. doing yoga. taking walks. eating at home more.

learning to let go. interpreting dreams less as inner desires and more as key lessons to learn. forgiving. keeping my eyes on the future and staying present.

i miss my brothers. my bff. my rocks. my friends scattered all over the country and world.

hope everyone is well.
