Chapter's Blog Intro To My Life
Since leaving the hospital, I've started to journal again to have a better understanding of life. So, with this new blog I'll be able to share all the things I have learned and hopefully we can learn from one another.
I’m Commodore Val Jones and I’m a storyteller, creator, burn survivor, advocate for all and soul connector to people willing to meet in the middle. To those who are truly able to put aside their own personal experience and views and put themselves in someone else’s shoes fully.
Because of my experience traveling throughout the world and being hospitalized for 45 days with burns all over my body I’ve learned we are all more alike than we are different, but most people are so focused on the things that separate us instead ofcelebrating our differences and diversity.
Think of it this way, we are all family, brothers and sisters and everything in between, sharing this experience of life, all wanting to be heard and validated in some way. Your brothers and sisters may not always agree with you, and you may not always agree with them, but that love and respect should still be there. There is no true higher power that teach hates, so, if we all thought of it that way,the world would be a better place.
I live by the creed I created over a decade ago “Our lives are like a book, the way it reads and the way it ultimately ends, it’s all up to us.”
What it means is that each of us is the author of our lives and which ever higher power you may believe in is who you are presenting your life book to.
Maye Angelo said “When you get, you give. When you learn, you teach.”
So, throughout this new blog I’ll be sharing life lessons that I’ve learned, in the form of different chapters and hopefully open up a dialogue with all of you so we can learn from each other, help each other, share stories, laugh together, cry together,and encourage each other to be our true authentic selves.
I am soo excited for this new journey! I’ve been putting it off for a while but now is the time. So, Ihope you all will follow along. Namaste my brothers and sisters and everyone in between, we will see you on the other side AKA October 28th with my first Chapter blog.
