Thank you so much for these chances to work on and earn every challenge and badge. I am learning so much by being here!

When I was in Brownies- an American club for children to learn as much as possible about living a good life and what it has to offer- the other girls used to complain that I was getting badges just because I was in thick with the troop leader. They didn’t realize I worked harder to earn those badges because they excited me, because I really wanted to learn and be good at everything possible, and because I was alone so much that I had time to do all that stuff. I enjoyed filling out the included workbooks, and often did more than required, more than apparent, to earn everything I received. Sometimes, the troop leaders were harder on me than on the other girls just to make sure I was doing the work. We got to the point of not having enough space on my sash for all my badges. I wish I still had those workbooks and badges.

I am grateful for the chance to do that type of work here, too. It gives my life a circular feel and reminds me that we never stop learning, no matter how old or set in our ways we get. You really can teach this old dog new tricks!

Thanks to all my coworkers on these challenges, too! You are all teaching and inspiring me along the way. You all are GRRRRRREAT! (If I can imitate Tony the Tiger for more than breakfast cereal) You deserve every heart and every badge possible! After all, we are not just working to fill a shelf with prizes, we are improving our talents, skills, and our very lives!

Thank you.

Congratulations to everyone fabulous to read all your entries

Weeee! So many new shiny badges!!! I love them, thank you so much @BryWisteria

Hi everyone and congratulations to all on receiving your new awesome badges. It has been enlightening reading each of them.

I have enjoyed all my Challenge Entries and each one is a piece of who I am. Doing them has given me the push I needed to finally get my Tea Leaves Reading Set which I now intend to do on the 1st of each month and learn more about the Sea Witches (and my realisation that I have Koi and beach pebbles) I have also learnt that their practice aligns with my own on so many levels.

Thank you @BryWisteria “Stopping the Clock”

With love & light

reminds me that we never stop learning, no matter how old or set in our ways we get.

Beautifully said!

I was also in Brownies and Girl Scouts, but not by choice - my mother was the troop leader. I focused about as much as you would expect a child who was forced to be somewhere would focus (not much) Looking back now, I wish I appreciated the opportunities more! There was so much to learn. I think you’re amazing for studying hard - those badges you collected were well deserved!

@TS5

Congratulations to everyone
