Well camp is coming to an end this week & it's now just setting in. This time has truly gone by in the blink of an eye but yet I have memories for a lifetime.
My mama flew in yesterday and I loved showing her around camp and introducing her to everyone & she even came to our ceremony last night for all the women. I was so happy to have her here so she can finally truly get a touch of why I am forever a changed person.
To my friends, family, clients - I have truly missed you all during this time and you might think I've been very distant and not my normal self. I hope we can all have time to sit down so I can look you right into the eyes and tell you just how amazing this summer has been for me. I could not type any blog, or send any text that could do this experience justice. I have truly realized what I want to do the rest of my life & this is it, 100%. It's not that I didn't want to talk to you all back home, it's just that I wanted to give this camp ALL of me this summer. I haven't even been on a workout routine myself because I don't even want to be that selfish. So no, I am not really ripped and defined or in amazing shape. I'm here for these women, NOT myself. When I stop and reflect on these couple months here I catch myself asking "why me? How did I land the best job in the world?" If someone asked me what my ideal job would be, I could not even describe a better job than what I had this summer. I got paid for this - I got paid to have my life forever changed, got paid to have the best summer in my life, got paid to meet some of the most amazing people, got paid to train women from ALL over the globe and United States. I kinda laugh to myself because it's almost like I just lived in a dream these last couple months & now that it's coming to an end I stop and reflect on all of this.
I still don't know when exactly I will be home. I stopped today at the gym and thought, oh my goodness next week I could be sitting on a COUCH & watching a movie or even HGTV House Hunters ... I can have a little normal life again. But I would much rather be here, be here in this safe bubble.
I stop and think about business owners these days, think about the big business people that are so fixated on money and I truly feel sorry for them. Who cares what shoes are on your feet, who truly cares what car you are driving, who cares what kind of material possessions you can collect, who gives two shits. I've learned that being happy and making this world a better place than when you entered it is so much more important. You can keep your material goods because if that's what you work for, that's what defines you then I wish you luck in this world, because that cycle will only continue, you will never have enough. I don't need that to make me smile, to make me feel better. I can look into women's eyes and know I've made them better. That is better than any dollar value item.
I hope you all are doing amazing well & enjoying your summer!! I miss you all dearly & I'm truly trying to make you all proud of me :) Love you all!
