Brave Girl Camp

I went to Brave Girl Camp last month, it was right before my birthday, and I had the hardest time getting there. I kept missing my flight...but I finally made it. I don't know what I expected, but I knew that Melody Ross was fun, and strong, and creative, I think I thought that I was just going to a crop week.

It was SO much more...
First off, the food. OH MY, the food. Kathy was in charge of the menu, and everything was so amazing. I had taken about 50 mg of steroids before I got on the plane, so I was feeling pretty good. Really nothing hurt too bad, and I was looking forward to catching up with Elena, and Mel, and making new friends.

After breakfast, we sat in a circle, and Mel talked to us about our souls, about what our true, authentic selves were. It was amazing. When she said stuff that I really related to, I really started to think. She gave a prompt for us to make pages in a book with. It was so hard to do. I cried, and thought, and was just trying to process everything that she said, and how much I related to it.

I think that this is so hard for me to write about, because I think that everyone has their own experiences, and no matter who is talking, there is a bond. When I came home, I felt like I had a joined a "Love Cult."

I know that it sounds wacky, and weird, but I love every woman that was there with me, while I went through the biggest growth of my life. I think I had a HUGE paradigm shift that allowed me to let go of a lot of pain, and become accountable to myself. I do think that one of the best things is coming home, and getting the daily affirmations from Brave Girl Club. If you have a minute, and haven't already, just go to www.bravegirlclub.com and put your e-mail address in, and receive the daily - a little birdie told me. These things make my day. I also know that they are coming from someone that loves me for me.

That is all I can really seem to write right now.

I'm back....

So I have been away for a long time, and I am pretty sure that no one is reading this anyway, so I feel pretty safe to let my feelings out there. Yesterday, my husband and I went and got an eye exam, and lo and behold, we have the same freaking perscription! Can you believe it? I could hardly contain my amazement.

I also cut some bangs. I know, big deal right? Well this is a big deal, ONLY because this is the FIRST time in my life that I actually love my hair. I have been using this new product - OJON. It is from the Ojon nut from South America, I don't care if it is some guy's gizz, this stuff is AMAZING! I flat ironed my hair, and it has so much shine and body, it looks like I am wearing a wig. I can't explain it, I will have to take a picture.

So of course the day I have perfect hair, I join the YMCA, and chose to start training for a Sprint Triathlon. I know, crazy...but that is what I am - Crazy Rachel
