It's been a while

Okay folks, it's been a long time since my last post. To make up for this, I plan to post a new blog every day this week. I've been crazy busy lately. I'm co-leading a retreat at St. Mary's University which is really cool, but a ton of work. I have to give a talk on commitment which has proven itself to be a hard task. I'm talking about having a learning disability and how I've overcome it to be successful in my life. I never really realized how angry I was before I accepted the fact that I had this disability. I was angry at myself because there wasn't anything I could do to fix it, and I was angry at God for giving me this obstacle in my life. I was also angry at my family for trying to help me. I'm an independent person who likes to figure things out on my own. I know that I need other people to help me, but view it as a personal accomplishment when I can figure out something without any help from someone. I've worked through this anger, and finally come to accept that I have this learning disability. I'm still smart and capable, and gosh darn it, I will be successful in my life! It's hard to share my commitments and how I came to have them because I don't really talk about my commitments that much. I know what they are and I committ to them. It's hard to express how committed I am to certain things, because from an outsider's view I don't look that committed. Being committed to something does not always have a physical representation, I know in my heart that I am fully and completely committed. If you would like a preview of my talk, I really need to practice, so give me a call.

The book this time is:
Angels and Demons (Dan Brown)
