Wood Badge - Part 5

Originally published on 05/27/2018

Wood Badge Day 4 gave us more fun by inducting us into the Venturing Program. I had never heard about Venturing, so this was very exciting for me. Venturing is for youth (both boys and girls) ages 14-21, and allows them to go on high adventures like rock climbing, white water rafting trips, and more.



We also got to witness a fun "award" be given to one of the Eagle Patrol members... He had seen that someone had placed a tin can into the port-potty, and went in after it. Items like that are not good to place there, as it needs to remain human waste, not trash waste. So the guys at Tall Timber decided that this participant needed a "special" award for going above and beyond (or should that be down and in?!) the call of duty for keeping the port-a-potty clean!



The Dingy Flitchit had become completely "famous" through camp, and other people began using them to decorate their own items.


I also began decorating around the camp... "Beware the Dingy Flitchit!!"


That evening was the campfire program put on by the patrols. The Bobwhites had the other patrols help in creating a crown for both Ralph and Elsha to give that evening. We even created "robes" for them. It was silly and fun!

Originally published on 04/11/2019 I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted! Life has been crazy since about a year ago when my administrator from the school district informed me that my contract would not be renewed. If you recall, I tried teaching for VIPKID but that really didn't work out for me. I only taught a handful of trial classes (the parents didn't have to pay for those, so they could try VIPKID for free) and it just wasn't my favorite way to teach. Then, I tried a couple of other options to make money, including selling on Amazon... Well, let's just say that trying to find reputable sources to purchase products from overseas is much more difficult than it should have been. I also tried Click Funnels, but it seems like all I was doing was promoting a funnel that didn't do anything but promote the funnel. It was weird and I determined it wasn't for me. In August 2018, I found an insurance company that resonated with me. It's cal

Originally published on 12/09/2018 You can read about our first day in Asheville, North Carolina  here . Our second day in North Carolina, I drove over to Bryson City. I wanted to purchase tickets for the Polar Express train ride scheduled to begin the season on Friday November 9th. It was a really, really good thing I did because I got the last two seats for the time! I'll write more on that experience later in the post... The colors in North Carolina were absolutely gorgeous! The trees were gold, green, red, brown, and so vibrant! Pictures do NOT do the colors any justice! Oh, and see the map on the dashboard in the picture above? That's from our really awesome Ford Fiesta! I plugged my phone into a USB port in the middle console, and it synced to the car! Momma's gotta get me one of them! Haha! Anyway, while I was in Bryson City, I wandered around some of the shops. In a small corner bookstore, I found two items I had not ever thought I'd find! Disne

Originally published on 11/25/2018 As some of you old hats to my blog may remember, I began working for VIPKID back in April 2018. That didn't really pan out for me so I had to find something else. Back in August, I started looking for something in sales. I came across a post on ZipRecruiter about insurance sales and applied. Little did I know that first interview would begin a new journey for traveling! Larry and I were able to go to North Carolina earlier this month for a Leaders' Summit. I learned all sorts of good stuff about becoming a leader for my own team. I look forward to implementing that information very soon. We also decided that, since we were there, we would make the most of the trip... Boy, did we ever! The first thing you should know is that we thought we could check into our motel any time of the day. We took a red eye flight from Salt Lake City, UT over to Charlotte, NC, had a rental car waiting for us, and drove two hours or so back to Asheville
