My Near Death Experience's at Camp Flaming Arrow

Image
 Due to many other subjects, the Summer of 2001, for me, was extremely difficult. One of the several was surviving Camp Flaming Arrow. Everyone in our friends and family circle swore it was the best camp ever. From their reliable and caring staff, to their educational and safe environment. It was a haven for all children. When my mother and I got there, yes, we arrived late but we still got there in enough time to see the last part of the tour. After my mother had left, I was placed in the Blackfoot Bear Cabin. However, since I got there late, I had the last pick of the bunk beds. I got the one that was on the top which had a low leveled ceiling. Not only that, my bed was closest to the wall alarm. So three guesses what happened to me every morning? Yes, I would wake up to the horrible sound of a screeching alarm, thus hitting my head on the ceiling every morning for the next 6 weeks. My first week was really bad. I remember we had a sock and shoe thief in our cabin. M...

πŸ’²The Envelope SystemπŸ’² I know some folks might think Dave Ramsey came up with the idea of the envelope system, but actually he just endorsed it. The envelope system is a lot older than most people think. Example there's a story on my maternal side that describes how old the envelope system is. Here me out. My great grandmother, Cora, whose nickname was Cokie. She got this title because she was always drinking a coke cola bottle. Every now and again she would say, "they just dont make them like they used to." If anyone knows the backstory about the original coke cola recipe, well they used to make it with Cocaine....poor great grandma, she really didn't know. Anyway, my great grandfather, Joseph Sears and great grandma Cokie owned a small grocery store during the Great Depression here in San Antonio. In this era of time, other business would take their monies at the the end of the day to the bank and then pick it back up in the morning. Joseph didn't ...

⬇️Illustration IS MINE! Please DO NOT COPY⬇️ ✏Sketch out a drawing a day✏ Even if it's a stick cowboy figure riding a stick figure pony, practice makes perfect. Drawing a different thing everyday helps build your artistic skills and inspirational thoughts tremindesly. It really doesn't have to be perfect, all that matters is that you did your best and you had fun with it.  πŸ’‘TIPSπŸ’‘#1) Always use a mechanical pencil when drawing. With this method, you know when you draw too hard, the led breaks.                  #2) It is always wise to draw softly on your page, so when you make a mistake you wont have a dark mark permanently there when you go to erase.                  #3) Before you start illustrating, take a piece of computer paper and put it under your artists hand. This prevents your drawing from getting smeared.  ✏Look online to get inspired✏ Exercise your dra...

✨ Start each day you wake up by Thanking the Divine✨ Whether you're Christian, Wiccan, etc, start the day off with a good thank you to your chosen higher power. In my opinion, when giving thanks for another day of life on this earth has always brought me joy and amplified my gratitude for the day to come. It's the small things that make each moment of the day bearable, and sometimes those same small topics can make the biggest impact on your life.  ✨Mirror, Mirror on the Wall✨ Another great thing to do in the mornings is to talk positive things about yourself in a mirror and mean it. Some examples are: "I am enough!" "I can and will make a positive impact on this world!" "I am a strong individual!" "I can reach for my dreams!" You can say anything to yourself, as long as they're positive. Say your chosen mantras in the mirror every morning 3 to 4 times. Say them and mean them. In my experience, i like saying my own affirma...
