A Grand Year: Hampton/Norfolk GV

Between June 2019 and March 2020 we had many Grand Assembly Events and I think that during this time it is very important to remember all the good things that we got to do!

The Hampton/Norfolk GV was so much fun! I was so excited to see what these assemblies had in store for their skits and they did not disappoint. I was walked around the room, taught about courage, and even made to dance with the wicked witch and her monkeys. Sara W and Jordan B presided over the GV as Worthy Advisors. I received lovely gifts from both assemblies and had a great time!

       Lessons From Over the Rainbow: Unlikely Friendships are the Best!

Even though the scarecrow, tin-man, and cowardly lion may have seemed strange and flawed at first, they always had Dorothy’s back- proving that good friends come in the unlikeliest places. It is an impossible thing to say – even to ourselves- how we come to know most of the people in our lives. But how they stay, how acquaintances become friends- that should be easy for us to figure out.  A wise man once said, “Associate with those who will make a better person of you, but more importantly, welcome those who you yourselves can improve”. When Dorothy first encountered her unique companions, they had little to offer her. Yet she still invited them to join her, and it turns out she really needed them in the end. We all tend to become like the people we spend the most time with, we pick up habits, attitudes, and mannerisms, so we should choose our friends wisely, and widely because life is too short to live without the experiences of friendship. Don’t let yourself miss out on possible friends because they are different. They could turn out to be your best and most loyal friends in the end.

A Grand Year: Fredericksburg/ Richmond GV

Between June 2019 and March 2020 we had many Grand Assembly Events and I think that during this time it is very important to remember all the good things that we got to do!

In September we had our very first Grand Visitation. It was held in Richmond, where we learned the lessons taught by the Scarecrow. I had the opportunity to walk around the assembly room, learning lessons, and answering questions, and in the end, we helped the scarecrow find his brain. After the GV we ate snacks and took photos in front of an emerald city backdrop that was super cute. It was a very fun day with friends and a great visit.

Lessons From Over the Rainbow: Dreams That You Dare to Dream

Dorothy’s trip to Oz was difficult, but she persevered and found a place over the rainbow. Dorothy’s desire to see more of the world and have new adventures was so great that she literally dreamed it into existence. The word dream has two meanings: a series of thoughts, images, or sensations occurring in a person’s mind during sleep, or, a cherished aspiration, ambition, or ideal. Dorothy combined both definitions to form OZ. A state of mind that she herself created. When Dorothy wakes up at home and realizes that it was all a dream, the idea that she is the one with power is understood. The whole adventure was a product of her own imagination and a journey towards self-awareness. A dream. And sometimes, the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
