As I leave the shores of anger and pain,
I set my course for the happiness I will gain.
Troubled waters I must cross.
With my little boat called feeling, I may get lost.
But with hope in my sails and forgiveness
in my eyes,
I will hang on tight for I'm thrown
back and forth and side to side.
But with belief at the wheel and faith at my side,
and the tools I have learned,
I will surely make it to the other side.
So as I sit here on the shores of happiness
and remember that fight
I look out at those troubled waters
and there's another boat
just coming into sight.

By Thomas (after taking the
"Dealing With Emotions" course)


My Journey
Spinning, spinning, spinning round,
Spinning down, out of control
I am so tired, but sleep won't come,
I feel I am slipping, losing ground
I look for help,
I find it quickly,
Take this hand, let me fix you,
Help at last, I take the hand,
The hand helps me, but then I'm slipping,
My grip is weakening, and I start spinning
Spinning, spinning, spinning faster,
The hand lets go, here comes disaster
Looking for help, oh where do I go?
Another hand reaching out to me,
I grasp the hand, but soon slip free
Spinning down into darkness,
What's happening to me, what will I become?
I look for help, I cannot see,
It is so dark,
I am so cold,
I'm so alone
Another hand, I fearfully reach,
Someone please catch me, I am so weak
The hand slips away, I'm on my own,
Oh dear God what have I done
What's happening to me?
My heart beats on, I keep breathing,
But my soul is dying, how can this be living?
Spinning, spinning, spinning round
It's dark down here, dark and cold,
What is it I need, I do not know
I'm slipping away, out of control.
Oh Dear God take me with you here,
Take me away, I care not where.
I cannot live cold and desperate like this,
I don't want to live, only to exist
Help me someone, It's cold down here
Another hand reaching out for me,
I reach out, I am so scared
The spinning slows, oh do I dare?
Will the hand hold on, or let me go?
The hand holds on, the darkness fades,
The spinning slows, I may be saved.
I'm hearing a voice, saying come with me,
I will give you tools, they are yours to use
The darkness fades, the spinning stops,
The tools are great, I've gained a lot.
The voice keeps talking, encouraging me on,
I'm still afraid, but I'm not alone.
I am learning to live, I know what I need,
That strong hand has a grip on me.
I follow the voice, it is my guide,
I need to look, at what I feel inside.
As I look inside, I find what I need,
All that I need, is inside of me.
As I look inside, I find myself,
The purpose of life, is life itself!
This feel so good, I feel so excited,
I want to share what I've learned,
I want to share this with others.
We can all be happy on this wonderful earth,
If we all work together, without hurting each other.
I hold our my hand, please don't be frightened,
When your grip weakens, my grip will tighten.

Testimonials - It Made My Roots Grow!

Blooming Lodge Logo"As behaviours used in the management of personal affairs, life skills apply to five areas of life responsibility defined as: self, family, leisure, community, and job/education."
... Ralph Himsl

PARTICIPANTS' COMMENTS:

"it's so thought provoking! What we have taken can help us, not only to be more effective at work, but it can be applied to communicating with our families."

"Everything helped me. It made my roots grow!"

"The outdoor journey was very valuable. You started a ripple effect that carries into our families and our work ... Thanks again!"

"It has introduced me to tools I will use throughout my life!"

A TEEN'S POINT OF VIEW:

I was so blown away by the way this course was handled. It was the most incredible thing ever. I felt really relieved and now I look at life a lot differently. I will suggest taking this course to everyone. This is a door in my mind that I have started to knock down and the more I go in this way, by taking these courses, the softer that door is going to get. Soon it will unlock and I will be in a whole new state of mind and world.

Thank you, Greg and Debbie, for making me realize that I am a great kid, no matter what.

Thanks, Corey.

AND ANOTHER ...

I believe that everybody should have a shot at this course. Because when I came here I didn't believe that anyone could teach me about my life, and the way I feel. After a couple of sections I started learning some things and I started applying them to my everyday life. And I started to see the improvement it was making in the way I think and act toward negative people and their actions. I started to believe that the only person that has to be happy is me. Everyday I grow stronger and wiser to these things. So I have started passing my knowledge onto my family and friends and they are starting to see a difference.

I believe everything happens for a reason and this is one reason that has truly helped improve my life and I am forever in your debt.

Thank you very much, Thomas.

AND ANOTHER ...

We believe the "Leadership Training Course" was a definite success for our team building and organizational skills as a group working toward community involvement and enhancement, especially in light of the 're-training' for those of us that have been professionals in the old style of thought and work process.

Thank you so much for your dedication and enlightened attitude. We learned so much. Looking forward to the continued second level.

Jacqueline Bristow

AND ANOTHER ...

The Leadership Development Program taught me much about myself: my character, values, communication style. I learned to understand and appreciate the dynamics of a team. Great instructors that without doubt know how to get a mind turned on, or perhaps better said, tuned into leadership strategies and values. It provided me the opportunity to reflect where I have been and establish goals to where I want to go.

Debbie Godfrey

AND ANOTHER ...

I liked how much I grew as an individual, also how much I learned about myself. I learned a better way to communicate with others, also to be more loving, understanding, unselfish, and patient. Thanks for believing in us. An awesome job; thanks for all you have taught us about ourselves.

Allen Lacelle

FROM GREG'S MENTOR ...

In my career I have had the opportunity to meet with thousands of people and few are like Greg McIntyre. I feel that he represents a rare breed because he strives to walk his talk. Greg made his way through countless challenges and kept a desire to be true to himself and others. He is a man of integrity who strives to give the best of himself. "Crisis does not develop character, it reveals it ..." Greg is an inspiration because of his own journey. He has managed to rise above the challenges of his childhood and early adulthood to build a life filled with love, growth and a sincere desire to help others fulfill their potential. The gift that you get when you work with Greg is that his knowledge has not only been learned in seminars, he has lived it.
