The Amen Effect@Sheena11 | Amen to This!!Click here to reply to @Sheena11 "I feel your presence. I trust your plan. To me, Amen is the moment when faith and gratitude meet.

Let their hopes be held safely in your hands. That's what amen is for me."

The Amen Effect@DBPardes | Amen to This!! Summer Camp counselorsClick here to reply to @DBPardes "Just an amen to those counselors who come out of all sorts of situations to spend two months in the woods with a bunch of kids who might never have had these kinds of experiences before. And as counselors, you tuck them in at night in your own way. You give them sort of this huge canvas to paint on in terms of what's wild and crazy about. Summer camp is so different than being in your bedroom all year long, getting your homework done, being at dinner at the right time."

We talked for a while, and I just listened. I didn't have any solutions or advice. I just let her share whatever she wanted."

The key is to stay true to who you are. If you did nothing wrong, don't change yourself for anyone else. Embrace your uniqueness and let it shine. People around you may eventually see things differently and appreciate you for who you are now. Creating a safe space for ourselves and those around us starts with understanding and compassion."
