Funeral and my cuz's

Today was my cuz's Grandma's Funeral.  The funeral was ok.  My one cuz flew down from Portland to attend the funeral.  I don't get to see her much anymore so it was great seeing her.  During the funeral my cuz's cuzes were very disrespect full.  Telling stories about how she fell down and they just laughed.  Now if she was a young person it would have been funny but when you are old to where a fall can really do some damage you don't laugh about it.  There were also many other things by the other family that was just so disrespect full.  After the funeral we went for 30 mins to the wake (or how ever you spell it) We just wanted to show respect.  We hated all the people there since they were disrespectfull.  I don't care who you are, you always need to be respectful to love ones who have passed on. That in some ways was the worst funeral I have ever been to.

After we left my one cuz rode with us in the truck while her sister and my aunt and uncle, and her play toy: aka John (just kidding) was in there truck.  We all ate together in the Joes's in Yuciapa.  It was great being with my cuz's.  We are real close.  Afterward we went to the house to see my one cuz's new horse, this sister of the one from portland.  I got to ride the horse.  It has been six years since there other two horses died, both in the same year.  Well that was about it of my weekend

Earning a Masters During a Global Crisis

Image
The past fourteen months have been among one of the most challenging yet rewarding chapters in my life.  A rollercoaster of emotions filled with hope, fear, exhaustion, stress, sense of community, success, burnout, loneliness, and everything in between.  This wild ride began in February 2020, when I returned to school to earn a Masters of Science in Organizational Leadership (MSOL) from the University of Redlands.  The choice to return to school was two fold.  The first was to learn and overflow my toolbox with skills to be a stronger leader that will positively increase my leadership at The Wildlands Conservancy, the California 4-H Youth Development Program, and beyond.  The second was that it was the right time in my life to return to school.  I was financially sound with no debt, currently single with no family, and qualified for some financial assistance through work to help pay for the program.  As I stepped on campus for the first time for the program orientation in mid-February,

Reflecting on 2016

      2016 was a great year.  It was filled with adventure, life milestones, hard work, and possibilities for 2017.  Since I have not written on my blog for the year, I wanted to reflect on some of the changes that have happened.       As 2015 was coming to an end, I had learned that Executive Headquarters at The Wildlands Conservancy, which happens to be located next to our Oak Glen Preserve office where I was working as a Naturalist, had a position open for an Administrative Assistant.  I love working for Wildlands, and I would jump at anything to have a career working for Wildlands.  I applied.  We had an interview, and I thought I nailed it.  A few days later, our Executive Director paid me a visit at the Oak Glen Preserve office.  He had told me that they chose to go with a different person for the position.  Immediately, I became very upset (internally) that I did not get the position.  Before I had a chance to say anything, Dave said they had a different position for me.  Beca

Coming Out

Growing up was not always easy for me.  Throughout my childhood, I experienced multiple periods of bullying by different individuals.  These periods of time imprinted emotional scars that continue to influence my actions today.  Overcoming these scars have proved to be one of the most challenging personal battles I have ever faced.  My experiences with bullying peaked in late middle school to early high school; a time when many are discovering more of who they are.  To avoid providing more fuel to the fire, I tucked away certain thoughts, feelings, actions, and more deep inside.  Parts of who I am turned into a secret, in which was kept hidden from everyone (except for one person).  Words can never express the amount of emotional stress that followed to keeping a secret like this.  I went through many episodes of confusion, anger, sadness, loneliness, and hopelessness.  These episodes lasted all the way to college.  For help, I turned to the internet.  I began meeting people who were
