Good Friends vs Bad Friends

One of our 5 keys we focus on in our workshops is Good Friends versus Bad Friends. Coming up with ideas for this station, came from a lot of personal experience when going through my self-worth trials. These friendships are something that I have realized have a huge impact on my view of self. Often, we let those around us; greatly influence what we think of ourselves. Sometimes we can be surrounding ourselves with “bad” friends and not even realize they are subtly bring us down. I found a list on the internet that can help you decipher if your friends are “good” friends or “bad” friends. As you read it, think about those closest to you and which category they fall into. It took a long time for me to learn the difference myself, and I feel I am finally at a place where I no longer have toxic friends in my life. I like to think of a quote from my favorite book, Perks of Being a Wallflower, “We accept the love we think we deserve.” Sparklers, YOU deserve to be around those wh

Life is Messy, Hard, Scary, and Painful..Lessons Learned From a Mountain

The most rewarding thing I did this summer was climb my first 14ner with about 80 teenage girls. For those of you not from Colorado a fourteener is a mountain that has a summit at or above 14,000 feet. Colorado is home to over 50 fourteeners ranging in levels of difficulty and it is very popular to climb these mountain for recreation. The fourteener we climbed is Mt. Sherman which is ranked as one of the easier fourteeners in Colorado.

My experience on that mountain this summer was epic and I want to share some of it with you Sparklers today! Climbing a fourteener is not something that has ever been on my bucket list, in fact I have never had a desire to climb a fourteener, despite the wide popularity of it in Colorado. However, this summer our annual Girl’s Camp was a high adventure year, so we planned all kinds of high adventure act

Share Your Sparkle Day Campaign..Start Brainstorming Ideas Today!

Share Your Sparkle Day is around the corner so today we challenge you to start thinking about what this event is all about. Here is my take on SYSD and hopefully you can take it and start brainstorming some ideas for what you are going to do on May 13 th . We started Share Your Sparkle Day last year as a way to get schools more involved in spreading the SSS message and to reach kids who haven’t been able to participate in our workshops. This event is based off of one of our 5 Keys to Self-Worth – Making Your Mark. In the station that we have in our workshops, we talk about using our special talents to make an impact on others and then we put that into practice by helping out a partner organization, Project Valentine. Share Your Sparkle Day is essentially an extended practical version of that station. This is the chance for everyone to take a step back from being so focused on themselves and what they have going on and considering things that are much bigger. It's a time to th
