Wilderness Hike 3 years ago

So my daughter is leaving on a week long wilderness hike on Sunday. These hikes are put on by the ICA Journeys program and they are wonderful opportunities for kids to gain skills in teaming and wilderness survival and just appreciating nature.

She went on a shorter one last year and the leader told me afterward that she was a bit bored and chafing a bit under the inactivity. So this year’s hike is longer by a couple of days and a little more rigorous. I feel fortunate that we can take this opportunity.

This is one more step in teaching her to believe in herself.

Risa is already doing This 3 years ago

My daughter R. was invited to play tuba with the Seattle Civic Band. They had their first summer concert today and it was marvelous. About 15 of our neighbors came to hear it too. We are all proud of what she has done.

And to think she is doing this after playing the tuba for only 9 months!

Believing in Self 3 years ago

I wish someone had done this for me. I have struggled with it for much of my life. So at the very least I will break the cycle here with me and not pass on a lack of confidence in self to my daughter.
