Just over this weekend I was at Monique MacDonald's workshop called Sacred Gifts. There I learned many things about myself and why I do things a certain way.
Everytime my family would drop off or pick up my grandma from the airport, any chance I could get, I would go along for the ride. It wasn't until the last time we dropped her off at the airport that my mom asked me why is it that every time we go to the airport, I would come along for the ride, even if I didn't go with grandma. I remember telling her how the feeling of being at the airport is just this warm excitement that comes over me of that curiousity of an unknown adventure. At Sacred Gifts, I learned that this is because of something that I was born with where I have that need to travel. It's also why I can get along with so many people from all different cultures and backgrounds.
Last summer, I wanted to go volunteer at all the camps in Squamish for Peak Potentials. However, my family thought I was crazy for wanting to do all three because I don't even get paid for it. I told them I didn't care and I just want to go, it's just this feeling inside of me that I get when I go to camp to give back. They just didn't understand. I was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with me. But no, there was absolutely nothing wrong with me at all. It was simplely another thing I was born with where I have that need to give back.
The weekend ended with a dinner with a couple of new and old friends from Peak Potentials. Could I have asked for a better weekend?
