Part One: Life Did you ever feel like you were meant to pay attention to something? While working at our school’s Bingo, I stumbled upon this poem displayed in the hallway. For me, this poem’s message symbolizes the foundation of the grass roots volunteers striving to implement the mission of Compass – to humbly serve combat Reservists, National Guard members, and their families. We know there is pain, emptiness, and many experience so many sacrifices related to deployments. Offering a retreat environment can afford intentional opportunities to heal and successfully return to one’s “nest” and “home, where the heart is”. From there, the families can successfully reintegrate within the larger community with maximum support. Blessings,
