…A second chance…

An abundance of processing and progress has been made since my last post.  I have been focusing on me.  Listening to my authentic self and telling my ego to … Shhhhh !!!! …. Gaining the balance needed for positive energy to flow through.  Transforming my perception/absent of expectations/closer to synergy of authentic self and ego.

I taught a Wilderness First Responder course at Gettysburg College in late May.  It was my chance to “get back on the horse” after my first course in Ely, Minnesota.  If you remember from a previous post, my first course was filled with more negative energy than positive.  Even though I did everything I could to drain the experience for all the positive energy it had to offer, I was left questioning whether this path was a good fit for me.  With the encouragement of friends/family/WMA staff, I gave it a second chance.  I’m glad I did.  I feel positive energy and light surrounding me again.  There is a man made quarry pond on the campus of Gettysburg College.  We did a simulation next to the lake.  The water had high levels of e-coli.  We couldn’t get in the water or use the pond, however the wildlife could.  These pictures are a couple of “new families” I spotted in the pond.  Funny how new life can thrive even in an environment of toxic contamination…

The girls and I had a wonderful last weekend at Base Camp.  Bee with her beloved ball and Nali with one of her favorite obsessions = the Hose!!

We arrived at Camp Miniwanca, on Lake Michigan, May 29th.  May 30th started another Wilderness First Responder course.  This is about 1 week after the end of the Gettysburg course.  I’m assisting Rob, he’s the health team director that I worked with last year.  He’s fantastic! Outstanding teacher and I am learning so much.  The girls and I are living in the same house that we did last year.  It’s an adjustment for us all, but after a few days I’m confident we will settle into our new routine.  It’s also a supportive learning environment for the girls. I’m grateful!

Last year, when I came to be the nurse at boy’s camp for the Summer, I hoped it was the start of a desired lifestyle.  Living a nomadic lifestyle with the ability to travel freely.  Unfortunately, the result didn’t look like I had envisioned.  The girls and I went back to Pennsylvania for a “hug”… it’s where our support system is.  Going back gave us the opportunity to regroup.  Form a different plan.  This year coming back to camp feels like a second chance.  Here at Camp Miniwanca the positive/supportive energy is infectious and surrounds us all.  It lends to motivating action.  However, this time at the end of camp, we are going to “go the other way”… In other words, go West.  Creating our own support system, jumping into it with all fours…

I’ll be able to work on some “irons” that I have in the fire, while we’re here at camp this Summer.  Including my podcast.  I’m just about ready to launch.  Just figuring out the technology and for some of us that is a more time consuming task…LOL…

I was floundering in my ignorance of starting/building my legal nurse consulting business.  I decided to reach out.  I now have the resource of mentors who know what they are doing.  Therefore, guiding me down the path of success.  I’m feeling very confident that my dream of being my own boss/successful/generating income to shoulder my financial burden/living the life I want to live is going to happen!

I’m working very hard.  Working towards living a purposeful life honoring my authentic self.

…I’m grateful for your support and following along on our journey/adventure…
