COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs reaching out to you from the Eagle’s Nest – I’d like to invite you to join us TONIGHT for Warriors for Life (WFL) Virtual Group Support Community Services this Saturday, 19 September 2020 with the “Colonel” hosting!
Invite a Friend, tell a friend, and share with your friends!

TONIGHT's Topic: "Resilience"
What Is Resilience?
Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or even significant sources of stress -- such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems, trauma from combat, accidents, or workplace and financial stressors. It means "bouncing back" from difficult experiences.
Research has shown that resilience is ordinary, not extraordinary. People commonly demonstrate resilience. One example is the response of many Americans to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and individuals' efforts to rebuild their lives.
Being resilient does not mean that a person doesn't experience difficulty or distress. Emotional pain and sadness are common in people who have suffered major adversity or trauma in their lives. In fact, the road to resilience is likely to involve considerable emotional distress.
Resilience is not a trait that people either have or do not have. It involves behaviors, thoughts, and actions that can be learned and developed in anyone.
Saturday’s Warriors for Life is intended to help our members with taking their own road to resilience. The information presented will describe resilience and some factors that affect how people deal with hardship or trauma. The focus is on developing and using a personal strategy for enhancing resilience.
Tune in TONIGHT with me the “Colonel” and we’ll talk about 10 ways to build resilience

Also ma'am please make sure it's the right key and in tune. Yes, I know the difference, I was an Army Band 1SG & CDR. :) LOL I can also sing tenor or bass as well. I think I'm losing my upper register for tenor but gaining the lower register in return for bass. Could be an age thing. I'll have to tell you a story another time about that. It's funny.

Church tonight... I too am a Tenor, actually probably more of a Baritone, but I sing lead in Barbershop and Tenor in traditional/classical choruses as I lean more toward the high end. I can hit the bass notes, but not with any real authority.

I have what now is a funny story about my attempts to sing, but I'll not bore you with that one right now. On another another occasion, to the best of my knowledge, I am the only preacher whose congregation asked him NOT to lead singing!

Most of us here have faced adversity and that challenge has made us better, more resilient and yes, warriors for life. COL Mikel J. Burroughs
