the posse 2013 🙂
Crystal has been along on this ECamp ride with me from the get-go.
She is the first I approached about coming on as a fellow instructor
and a massively instrumental part of shoring up my confidence to keep on pushing this baby out there into the world 🙂
Each instructor over the years,
whether the oncer like Jess Weems (Greene) or
the wanting-to-continue-but-can’t-cause-I-gotta-be-mommy of Bridgette Guerzon Mills
or the retired-from-our-team-but-NEVER-leaving-us of Judy Wise
has fortified me more backbone to believe in the ECamp creation
and to persevere in making it all I possibly can.
But there’s always been something about my first….
Crystal saw the vision early on
listened as I spewed all my fears and doubts
nodded in agreement-
‘yup, sure nuf this is scary, big, difficult stuff you’re doing’-
then sat back and smiled while watching me do it
remaining eagerly
passionately
engaged in it all
all along.
There’s just something about the first 🙂
And never mind that her work
and artistic contribution to the retreat each year is phenomenal~
oh yeah that! xo
in love.

Well damn, you made me cry! I love you and what you do.
❤️
i was just reading yours, ready to publish tomorrow and thought ‘wow, she’s so good’…..you call me to be something I feel like I am never going to get to; but you make me want to keep on going there 🙂 xo
I love how there’s such obvious love, camaraderie & support between all of you! It’s so lovely!
I remember your pure Joy and exhaustion the last day of the first camp you gave near Salem. I enjoyed your and Judys’classes so much back then and would have liked to take Crystal’s and Bridget’s classes as well. Congratulations on fiercely pushing, pushing, and pushing forward!!! – I KNEW in my bones that this was a HUGE deal for all of you. My best to you and congratulations on your wonderful new home! -Anna
