This past weekend is hard to put into words. I have never felt so much warmth, compassion, support, kindness, and connection in one room. EVERYONE who was in that room brought something special to my weekend and I thank you for that! I am so foggy and exhausted but I feel so ALIVE! It was definitely worth it. I know there is more work to do but I know it will get done. I will be going back to be an angel for the next group of students that come in. I had a hard time not having my therapist/helper hat on while I was a student, so this gives me the chance to take on that role while still working on myself. There is so much I want to say about my experience but I just cant seem to find the words. Phrases like, more then I expected, and nothing like I expected keep coming to my mind. I think you have to experience the weekend to understand how difficult it is to describe the feelings and emotions I am experiencing right now. I learned that I am a lot stronger then I thought I was and that determination is a major quality that I posses. I learned some things that seem like they should be so obvious, but obviously they weren't. I learned you can form a connection with someone without even having to say a word and I learned that joining the P3 family was meant to be. I met some amazing individuals that I am sure will turn into amazing friendships. I spent time with friends and this just brought us closer. When I am having a bad/stressful day I can close my eyes and I now have a new happy place to go to in my mind. I still get the chills when I think about it and it brings a smile to my face. I think the most important lesson is that I AM NOT ALONE! OK well maybe that is the second most important lesson. The MOST important lesson is that I LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF FOR EXACTLY WHO I AM! . . . "I" . . . (That was my 100%!)
