Day 10: Our Home Away From Home

Crazy shit guys ....

It's day 10.... As of this morning I've lost 11 pounds . Today's food : banana, tangerines , pineapple , grilled chicken , spinach , lake , almonds , pecans , and spaghetti squash with chicken spinach garlic onion  and tomatoes . Just drinking water. Eating clean another successful day! Went to the gym with monte. Did 15 on the erg, 15 on the bike , and legs. The gym is becoming something I look forward to. It's a chance for my mind to not think about anything but improvement. It is really a mentality shift and I absolutely love it. Work went well. They played one of my calls in class for training today. They pull random ones and it just so happened the one they pulled was literally a model sale. I was very proud of myself and the work I've done to get better .  My classmates are kick ass and gave me a lot of compliments it was really dope!

Today's topic : my favorite place I've ever volunteered....

If you know me , you know what it is....

Leos ,
Our home away from home .
I was a retreatant, then a peer minister , and then a facilitator . Shit was pretty epic fam . The reconciliation process will forever hold a very special place in my heart due to the emphasis we placed on it on our time at Leo's and I am forever thankful for that .
I had the pleasure of meeting some of my dearest friends running retreats at the abbey. Life long friends. I can't even begin to describe how life changing that place with those people was to me. I guess it begins with it being the place I really found God. Literally felt like a pull from the heavens. Shit was awesome. Although I don't go to church every Sunday , I talk to god everyday. He gives me the strength to continue my transformation of self. Met my best friends there, my future groomsmen, my first love, I met my family there . I loved the youth who were so unenthusiastic about being on a church retreat to turn and say , wow that was the best weekend of my life. God is dope like that I'm glad I was able to help him connect with so many people . I have piles of letters from fellow peer ministers , retreatants , youth directors, and family from my years of retreats at Leo's.  If I ever need to smile those are really my go too, so many amazing memories . For real, I'm gonna cut it there before I go on forever haha


I will leave you with this:

I challenge you to write a letter to someone in your life . Doesn't even have to be mailed . Write it to your mom, your dad , brother , friend, significant other , whatever . Just write a letter . Old school, notebook paper! (Unless you wanna be fancy and have a neat memo haha) Remind that person how special they are. Tell them how thankful you are to have them in your life . Pour your heart out. It's such a beautiful expression of love . Do it. For real. I am doing so much right now in my life and I've never been happier . And don't think I'm not doing the challenges ! One of y'all sweet asses getting a letter trust! Let's keep it up people , let's build our bodies, our minds , and our spirits! Love each and everyone one of you , yeah even you rolling your eyes at your screen.
