Going back in Time:

When told to go back in time and look at the beginning of everything during the Mopane' Leaders’ Experience Retreat, that's when I realized that something terrible had happened to me in the past.

The washing of my feet drew me to a place of self-introspection, I started to think about why I give out so much. I realized that I was fighting myself and that I was proving to others because of the words that they had used to abuse me, which were "You cannot do it, you are a failure." In other words, I was arguing with myself and trying to prove things to other people as a result of the things that other people had said to me.

During the Mopane` Leaders’ Experience Retreat sessions, I set out to disprove their claims going forward. I will never forget the countless times during the retreat that I shared a good laugh with new people; I enjoyed

making new friends.
