Wow, what a week it has been! It has been several years since I have been on that sacred ground and I can't even begin to explain it in words, but some how every time I set foot on Camp Taconic something inside of me becomes restored and made whole again. There's just something so wonderful about that place. I just feel so blessed to have been able to hang out with such amazing tweens, counselors, CITs, pastors, staff, volunteers, and of course the ENC summer ministry guys. I truly want to thank the ENC team, because not only are they pretty cool dudes, but also because music is one the best ways I know how to communicate with God and I really appreciated their talents. Their worship was truly spirit filled. So, a huge thank you to them. Another huge THANK YOU to my Amazingly Awesome Praying Penguins!!! Woot Woot! My campers made my time at camp so easy. They were the best group ever and I feel so priviledged, amazed, happy, humbled, blessed, proud, and hopeful, because of them. I hope that I did the same for them or at least they were able to witness God's love for them at some point during the week. I also want to thank my co-counselor Persis for being so much fun, organized, patient, understanding, and waking me up pretty much everyday. You have such a fun spirit and I'm glad to have met you! Thank you to our Chapel leader Janet who made our chapels both fun and meaningful. The Indiana Jones hat was a nice touch by the way! haha Overall, the week was amazing. I have made some many more incredible memories of that place and I can't wait to do it all again with the Senior High kids. This should be interesting!! So, keep me and those campers in your prayers!
Oh, one really special moment that I would like to share is when I walked in to training and saw one of my campers from like 5 years ago volunteering as a kid's camp counselor! It was such a cool thing to see and I'm really happy to know that she's be influenced in such a positive way by the camp that she now wants to give back herself. It makes me feel so blessed and that I can be used in powerful and mighty ways. All I have to do is just head His voice and allow myself to be used. Well, I literally have to go drive back now before I'm late for training, but I wanted to make sure I blogged a little something before I left. Love, Peace, and blessings!

MONEY!!!
As always a HUGE Thank You to all my financial supporters. You guys are so amazing, but I am starting to see a decline in the amount of donations :( I'm only at $900 which is a little less than half way to my goal. Please please please give if you can! If you know of ways to raise money please let me know. I'm willing to try any method at least once.

Just Who Will You Be?
Maria Shriver once wrote a speech for her godson's graduation. It was so well received by the students and their parents that she ended up making the speech into a book, which my mother gave to me when I graduated from HS in 2004. I remembered it being a really awesome thought provoking speech, but I forgot until today just how important and pertinent it really was and still is. Recently, I just re bought the book to give as a graduation present to my friend. But before I give it to him of course I had to reread it myself! So, tonight I reread the book that impacted me 6 years prior and still even more so strikes a chord with me today. I'd like to share with you some of my favorite parts:
"What do you want to be famous for? When you try to answer that question, please set your sights high-because you can be famous for doing something great in this world, something that matters, something that makes life better.
You can use your fame to inspire people and give them HOPE. I think now more than ever we need famous people with integrity, character, and vision-people who want to lead, who want to change the world and make it more peaceful, HOPEFUL, and compassionate place, a place where more people feel accepted and valued for who they are."
"Allow me to challenge you to think about ... what you believe. Look at what you believe, in order to find out who you will become. In truth, that's the most important question we can all ask ourselves throughout our lives: "What do I believe-and what do I want to be? Answering that question is crucial, because what you believe is the foundation upon which you build yourself as you continue to grow."
"What is my truth?..."
"We're supposed to grow and evolve. We have to give ourselves the permission and freedom to stay open to change...I'm talking about letting life's experiences affect you and mature you. I'm talking about going down deep and finding out where you're at and where you need to go next."
Those are just a few of my favorite quotes from the book. I think the reason why I really love her book is because it just encompasses my life philosophy of really knowing who you are, what you're about, what you really believe in, what makes you tick, your feelings, your strengths, your weaknesses, etc. That's what I want my next tattoo to be "Know Thyself" and "Be Thyself" It's so important to understand Who you are, because it spreads all over into every other aspect of your life. And if you don't like one of your habits, your attitude, your flaws, etc. it's not the end all and be all. You have time to change yourself! That's probably one of the best things I've learned this past year: That I have a choice about who I am, how I act, and what I believe. Life doesn't control me. I control my life. I know most of these words are not mine in this post, but they've changed my life in a pretty profound way. I hope I can do the same for somebody else. Do yourself a favor and pick up "Just Who Will You Be" By Maria Shriver.
Peace and love!

Temperament Test
Just before I stumbled across a temperament test on line and decided to take a few minutes to fill it out. I've taken many tests like it before, so I pretty much already knew what the results were going to be. I'm not going to say that I was surprised by my results, but I would go as far as to saying that it was definitely something that I was very happy to hear. I found it to be seriously encouraging. I'm finding that I'm running into more and more encouraging "signs" that I'm on the right path, and I can't even begin to explain in words how invigorating it feels. I'm definitely feeling more and more empowered that little Alice Haight can influence and create big positives changes in this world. If you don't think so, that's okay, you don't have to. I'm almost 100% convinced that I'm going to do great things in this world. As long as I have the help and support of my family, friends, my church, my job, my education, my networks, my activism, and most of all my God. Without Him I would have no life and not talents, so therefore I am thankful for his gifts and hope to use them to the best of my ability for the good of others.
"You may say that I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will be as one" (John Lennon "Imagine") I couldn't help myself I just love the Beatles, especially John. He was pretty out there, but his heart was in the right place and I admire him for that. And I also just learned that John had the same temperament as me! How cool is that?
Okay, so I know you're all dying to know what they said so here's the results:
Custom Keirsey Temperament Report for: Alice Haight
Your Keirsey Temperament Sorter Results indicates that your personality type is that of the Rationals...
Rationals are the problem solving temperament, particularly if the problem has to do with the many complex systems that make up the world around us. Rationals might tackle problems in organic systems such as plants and animals, or in mechanical systems such as railroads and computers, or in social systems such as families and companies and governments. But whatever systems fire their curiosity, Rationals will analyze them to understand how they work, so they can figure out how to make them work better.
In working with problems, Rationals try to find solutions that have application in the real world, but they are even more interested in the abstract concepts involved, the fundamental principles or natural laws that underlie the particular case. And they are completely pragmatic about their ways and means of achieving their ends. Rationals don't care about being politically correct. They are interested in the most efficient solutions possible, and will listen to anyone who has something useful to teach them, while disregarding any authority or customary procedure that wastes time and resources.
Rationals have an insatiable hunger to accomplish their goals and will work tirelessly on any project they have set their mind to. They are rigorously logical and fiercely independent in their thinking -- are indeed skeptical of all ideas, even their own -- and they believe they can overcome any obstacle with their will power. Often they are seen as cold and distant, but this is really the absorbed concentration they give to whatever problem they're working on. Whether designing a skyscraper or an experiment, developing a theory or a prototype technology, building an aircraft, a corporation, or a strategic alliance, Rationals value intelligence, in themselves and others, and they pride themselves on the ingenuity they bring to their problem solving.
Rationals are very scarce, comprising as little as 7 to 10 percent of the population. But because of their drive to unlock the secrets of nature, and to develop new technologies, they have done much to shape our world.
Rationals at Work
As a Rational, you seek to acquire and apply expertise. You thrive in an autonomous and intellectually stimulating workplace, working alongside other competent people, pursuing knowledge or creating systems. Your core need to follow the driving force of your own intelligence leads to particular career challenges. For example, recognition of your expertise may lead to your being put "in charge" of other people, as a manager, when you might prefer to remain immersed in projects of your own.
You are fascinated with developing strategic plans for others to use. In your preferred environment, you work behind the scenes while someone else takes the active leadership role. Often, you are driven to step in as leader when you become impatient with the way a project is going. In your ideal job, you independently analyze systems and make recommendations about how objectives will best be reached; someone else does the work of delegating work, motivating people, or enforcing work duties. You want challenge in your work and become frustrated when asked to merely follow routines, especially if those routines are inefficient.
To conclude, remember how I keep finding weird signs and assurances? Well, I have another one. I am going to have two weeks off of work in July so that I can volunteer at a Christian Camp. Since I'm going to have so much time off I have also been considering finally getting my "Know Thyself" tattoo in the original Latin right before i leave. How amazingly perfect is it that I came across a temperament test that describes my personality and I want a tattoo that says "Know thyself?" Come on, you just can't make this stuff up! Be blessed, stay cool, and keep rocking in the free world...
P.S. Have you paid it forward lately? Don't think I forgot!

"It is much easier to conquer a country than it is to conquer ourselves"
Starting in January of this year I have become really obsessed with Mother Teresa and her amazingly selfless character. Today, I found another book in my parent's extensive library entitled, Total Surrender by Mother Teresa. Basically the book discussed what it meant and took to become a Nun and even more specifically a Missionary of Charity Sister. I found it fascinating how these women were willing to give up everything they ever had, will have, were, and are to be a Nun. They vow to live a life of poverty, chastity, obedience, and wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor (as they like to call them). Their dedication and devotion to that submissive calling and lifestyle is truly admirable and really astounding. I can hardly stop myself from buying another pair of heels every week and these women dedicate their entire lives to wearing their plain Nun attire, so that they won't be distracted from other more incredibly important things, like helping people in need. Now, I'm not saying that I would like to become a Nun anytime soon, because I honestly just don't feel the need to be that extreme, but I really do admire their mindset and their doctrines. I would love to share with you my favorite part of the book...
"A Missionary of Charity is just a little instrument in the hands of God. We must try to keep it always like that-being just a small instrument in his hands. Very often I feel like a little pencil in God's hand. He does the writing; he does the thinking; he does the movement-I have only to be a pencil and nothing else.
-You are being sent; you have not chosen for yourself where you want to go; and you are sent just as Jesus was sent to us.
-You are sent not to teach, but to learn: learn to be meek and humble of heart. That is just what Jesus has asked us to do: "Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart."
-You are sent to serve and not to be served: Go to serve with a humble heart. Never escape the hard work. Be always the first one to do it.
-Go to be a cause of joy to your communities.
-Go with zeal and love for the poor.
-Go in haste, like Our Lady (Virgin Mary), to serve.
-Choose the hardest thing. Go with a humble heart, with a generous heart. Don't go with ideas that don't fit into our way of life: with big, big ideas about theology and what you would like to teach, but rather go to learn and to serve.
-Share what you have received, with a humble heart.
-Go to the poor with great tenderness. Serve the poor with tender, compassionate love.
-Say yes to peace with your tongue. Close your mouth rather than speaking a word which will hurt anyone.
-Go to give yourself without any reservation. Give yourselves wholeheartedly, unreservedly."
What really blows me away about these people is their willingness serve and put others above themselves. These women ironically live in the same poverty of the people that they serve, not because they can't afford to live any other way, but because they choose to do so! They feel that when helping the poor it's easier to care for them when they can empathize with their situation and that having less makes life worth more. They believe that poverty is freedom. Having money causes desires and desires cause wants and wants cause "needs." Eventually the "needs" will increase, for one thing brings another and the result will be endless dissatisfaction. Hence poverty makes them free! I'm starting to believe more and more in that sentiment.
Lastly, I like the warning that they give to those that don't choose their dramatic lifestyle. All they ask is that we be more mindful and careful regarding the poverty of our houses. They ask that any of the daily needs that the poor can't get on a daily basis we should be more mindful of our usage of them, so that we also feel the hardship in food, clothing, water, electricity, soap-things which our poor often go without. Therefore, we can become more compassionate and more inclined to do more for those around us. I'd like to challenge everybody (starting today) to go out of your way to conserve more and to also do 3 random acts of kindness everyday. I believe that by putting these two simple ideas into practice we as individuals can make a dramatic positive difference in the world. I know it seems like a waste, because what can one person do to change the world right? Wrong! This is how great movements start and lasting changes are made! Individuals decide to take a stance for what they believe in and for what is right and others join in. Take a stance with me and help your fellow man out! The worst thing that could happen is that you do something nice for a stranger. Hmmm, wait does that sound bad to you? Me neither. :)

Let me see you sizzle!!!!
Hey everybody! So, this past weekend I had the honor and the privilege of counseling an amazingly awesome child at Comfort Zone Camp in Northern NJ. This is a camp specifically designed for grieving children that have lost either a primary care giver, sibling, or a close friend. This is a truly amazing organization and I feel really blessed to be a part of it. They are always looking for volunteers and you don't even have to have had a close personal loss to apply. All you need to have is the right motivation and attitude and you're all set. To learn more please visit:
www.comfortzonecamp.org!!!
I have been sincerely touched and forever changed for the better by those brave children. They have taught me to really appreciate my family and friends so much more than I have been. It's amazing how much we take for granted on a daily basis. Over the weekend I really learned to stop and smell the roses, to make sure to go out of my way to tell my family and friends how much I care, and to not be so hard and judgemental of people, because you never know their life situation. Most importantly I learned that life is not guaranteed to anybody. None of us are promised tomorrow. I am slowly learning to live each day to the fullest and to never take the people that I love and my good fortunes, blessings, talents, abilities, and gifts for granted. I hope that you learn or at least try to do the same, because I promise it will change your life in a way that you never thought possible! I'd like to share with you a passage from a devotional my mother gave me recently called, Streams in the Desert for Graduates by L.B. Cowman.
"You can see the rain, but can you also see the flowers? You are suffering through these tests, but know that God sees sweet flowers of faith springing up in your life beneath these very trials. You try to escape the pain, yet God sees tender compassion for other sufferers finding birth in your soul. Your heart winces at the pain of heavy grief, but God sees the sorrow deepening and enriching your life. No, my friend, it is not raining afflictions on you. It is raining tenderness, love, compassion, patience, and a thousand other flowers and fruits of the blessed Holy Spirit. And they are bringing to your life spiritual enrichment that all the prosperity and ease of this world could never produce in your innermost being."
Have a blessed day!
P.S. Let me see you sizzle is part of the best camp song from the weekend! You have to see the dance! Good times...

Thank you so much for your generous donations! This would not be possible without your selfless contributions.
Also, please save the date for either Sunday July 11 or Sunday July 18 for a California Pizza Kitchen Fundraiser in the Garden State Plaza. If you have the fundraising flyer with you that day then CPK will donate 20% of your check to the Team NICA fund at no extra cost to you! So, if you come with your family and spend $100, then CPK will donate $20. I know it doesn't seem like much, but if we can get like 50 families to come in and spend 100 each, then that's $1,000. I will send out more info. as it comes in, but again thank you for all your help!! Much love to everyone...
1.) Checks: Should be written out to Alice Haight
(Write Team NICA 2011 in the Memo please)
Please email me for my mailing address...Tnyalice@hotmail.com
At the end of every month I'm going to send one check in to the university with all the money that I raised that month. I figure that way I don't have to hold on to everybody's checks for months at a time and they can clear quicker.
2.) Cash: Cash is always acceptable! I promise to only use it for the Nicaragua
Project!
3.) Paypal: I am also accepting payments through paypal. You can send all donations
to Hoopsstar143.
