I am in the beautiful desert of Arizona. The ranch is amazing. The people are even more amazing. I'm am in awe and humbled by everything around me.
My intention in coming here was to learn how to facilitate these peer groups and how to get a group up and running in Dayton.
Don't you love it when there is another plan for you that you don't realize until you are waist deep in and can't get out.
I didn't realize I had my own stuff to process. So now I am throwing myself into the process.
I have this saying I have lectured many others with. You can't fill anyone else's tea cup if your pot is empty. I didn't realize how low my pot had become. I guess I'm here to fill it.
This is really hard for me to do, talk about what I went through in the military. At least the bad stuff. The shadow stuff.
One of my new friends here (and I'm sure soon they'll be frimily) told me last night, "How can you help others if you're not willing to help yourself"
Thank you for the 2x4.
Breakfast bell. Pictures to come.
