A group of youth just came back from our Wilderness Rocs trip to Fair Glen Youth Camp in Beaverton.  Shannon just came into the door and bolted into my office and wanted to show me her "Mission Statement".  This is what it says:

"My name is Shannon Ide.  I am a good and loving mom.  I will always love and respect my children and myself.  I will not allow people to define who I am.  I will get through this hard time and grief.  I will be sucessful in my life and have a beautiful family.  I AM BEAUTIFUL!   Live, Love, Laugh!
