I
am sharing one photo each week and one word that represents what I am grateful
for.
GRATEFUL WORD: FAMILY
Family. My Brother (he is my half brother, but there has never been anything about half between us, it is all or nothing!) got married to his long time girlfriend Tea in Philadelphia. I very little family left that is alive. Shawn I text weekly and talk at least once a month. He is a reminder of my youth, growing up, and what is important... those connections to people who help you be a better person. Shawn and Tea visited us a couple years back and I fixed dinner for them and their friends. It was a great feast, and a great feast it was (very Gertrude Stein of me...) and then we all sat around and talked, drank, and shared stories about life. It was a good time for sure.

About
the writer…
Royal
D. Bush was born and raised in the Omaha metro area raised in a single parent
family, with his Mother Mildred. His
first many years of life were spent in Bellevue, where he and his mother
attended church at the First Baptist Church of Bellevue. Eventually Omaha became home, where as a
young adult, Royal began attending various worship services with friends and
family before finally calling MCC Omaha his home, where he went on to serve as
Minister of Hospitality.
In
2009, Royal founded Inclusive Life Pastoral Services; a Nebraska, nonprofit,
multifaith based organization that offers care and services to individuals,
couples and families who are not a part of church, organized religion, or have
a religious belief. He is ordained and
serves as a Chaplain. Inclusive Life
serves all without exception, religious and nonreligious. He continues to share his belief and message
that “You are beautiful, you are loved and you are worthy, just the way you
are. You are not alone.”
In
2012 he married his partner of five years, Jonathan. They share a home in the Dundee area of
Omaha. Today, Royal is a member and
attends service at the First Unitarian Church of Omaha. He currently is working on two projects: A 2
hour “You Retreat” that will be offered monthly, at no charge! It will focus on allowing people to
experience themselves in ways perhaps not experienced before or often. And secondly, he is studying and training for
knowledge with Aromatherapy and Essential Oils.
