Oh man. The Training Camp packing list was just sent out… is it really only 3 months away? Am I really making a dent in funds? Am I really almost halfway to my $5k deadline in July? Do I really need to seriously start buying supplies…?
Yes. This whole experience has been that word… “yes”. I have even started looking at airfare to and from training camp. I am so close to meeting all the wonderful people I have met via facebook and group chats. It will be so wonderful to hug them all, getting ready to take on the most serious journey in our lives thus far.
What I love about my group is that we are pretty much all in the same boat. Even though we all have different careers, different lives, different families… we all have one thing in common. We felt the call. And we were all brave enough to answer it, and say yes.
To say I’m excited doesn’t really begin to cover it… I am definitely scared and terrified. Scared I won’t make enough money. Terrified of leaving home. But every time I seem to get overwhelmed, I remember my wonderful group, and am reminded I am not alone. In fact very much the opposite.
My next fundraiser in the making is my outdoor BBQ. Prayers that it will go as planned! No rain, or malfunction with the food 🙂 I’m selling tickets for it for $15 21+, and $10 for under 21. 13 people have already RSVP’d. Prayers and fingers crossed I make enough to bump me much closer to $5k! It’s been a blast fundraising, even though it’s stressful. It’s shown me how many people in my life will knit together to help me and support me, whether it’s people I’ve known forever or people I have never met.
This whole experience has been “yes”.
