Last week I worked load-in with other volunteers at the school where we conduct Rock Camp for Girls L.A. each year. It was an exhausting day and yet it was also filled with laughter and smiles. Dang! I truly love these folks!
Yesterday was our Volunteer Orientation. From the time I arrived and saw so many familiar faces, I was all in. And there are so many new faces! I almost envy the new volunteers. They’re about to experience a mind-blowing week for the very first time. For me to tell you it’s a life-changing experience means nothing to you, I know. You’re just gonna have to trust me. And I didn’t even try to tell the new volunteers anything. I don’t have to. They’re about to live it. The high-fives. The awesome-speak. The smiling. The creativity. The camaraderie. Of course, there’s also the vulnerability. The exhaustion. The unknowns. It can be enough to freak a gal out.
Today will be Day 1 of camp. In the past I’ve been nervous. But not this year. I’ve got this.
