Me as author= Girl Scout, funny as a child I wanted to be a Girl Scout, and now I am a adult one wow lol God fulfills dreams even years later, he never forgets and often he fulfills with a twist. Just like Girl Scouts offer a variety of cookies for different tastes, my book has chapters for different readers—each one meant to resonate in its own way. And just like people choose which cookies they like, readers get to decide which chapters speak to them and which don’t, without judgment.

1. Following Your Own Path – Girl Scouts are taught to make their own decisions, even when it’s hard. As an author, you’re charting your own course with your book, staying true to your vision, even if the church or others criticize you.
2. Courage in the Face of Criticism – Earning badges often requires trying new, sometimes scary things. Writing a book that challenges norms or church culture is your version of that risk-taking and bravery.
3. Community Dynamics – In Girl Scouts, you learn to work within a group, handle conflicts, and support others while keeping your individuality. This mirrors your church situation: navigating relationships, receiving support from some members, and dealing with judgment from others.
4. Growth and Self-Discovery – Scouts grow through challenges, learning about their strengths and boundaries. Similarly, this whole writing/church experience is helping you discover your voice, confidence, and what you stand for.
5. Ethics and Integrity – Girl Scouts emphasize honesty, responsibility, and standing up for what’s right. Your book and your stance in the church reflect that same integrity—you’re speaking truth as you see it, even if it’s uncomfortable for some.

Basically, being a Girl Scout mirrors your journey: bravery, self-discovery, navigating group dynamics, and staying true to your values in the face of criticism
