On Thursday September 11, Don shared with us his presentation entitled “ I Believe “

Don began by sharing that we all have our own beliefs.  The truths that Don believes may not be your own beliefs, but these beliefs are true according to Don.  We all have our own sets  of values and beliefs. 

Knowing and living your own beliefs may be difficult, but it is a way to your true self. And an alignment of your own beliefs will help you get through many of life’s storms. 

Don also had us participate in an exercise about finding your authentic self. He handed out a sheet with a title of “ Fast Values Exercise “ at the top. 

There were approximately 93 choices on this list, and our job was to choose and circle all of the words that most appropriately described us. 

And then we had to choose our top five words that described us best. 

My chosen top five words were Family, knowledge, Spirituality, mindfulness, and thoughtfulness.  

I love presentations such as this, that really make us stop and think about what we value and to also learn more about ourselves.  And most importantly to remind ourselves of the many gifts we each have that we can also share with others.
