California Training

This weekend, Rosie, Lily, and I are going to California! The reason we are going is because we were invited to attend a training to allow us to learn more about the Spiritual Empowerment Programs (SEP) that we plan to start here. It is a great way to educate ourselves more in the things needed to be done for the SEPs. Also, I am excited to go back to all of my friends in California. I met these youth just this summer and now, I see that as family. They are incredibly powerful with all their positive energy and pure hearts. I can't wait to introduce Lily and Rosie to them.

I am a little worried how Lily is going to take this weekend. She hasn't been going out with us, so she'll be new to everything. I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable or left out because this weekend is intended for Baha'is. Lily is also not very religious, but has her beliefs. I'm happy she is coming because Lily really needs a weekend away from her life here. She needs to meet new people and start to having other views towards life. I hope this brings joy and light into her heart, like it did for me over the summer. Then, there is Rosie. She really enjoys being only with her other friends and not socializing with anyone else outside that group. She claims to be shy, but whenever I have introduced her to someone new, she automatically shows her natural personality, the one I see every day. I think she just doesn't like the idea of emitting new people because that worries her. I'm hoping for the best because this is the first road trip alone with my best friends!
