2013 Week 22

I am sharing one photo each week and one word that represents what I am grateful for.

GRATEFUL WORD:
My City.  I know, it is two words.  I love Omaha.  I am proud of my city.  Inclusive Communities hosted their 75th Annual Humanitarian Award Dinner featuring keynote speaker, Newark, NJ Mayor Corey Booker, who is a great human being fighting the good fight and not just a politician.  I was honored to be asked to share the invocation for the evening.  My heart was full.  Jonathan, who attended as my guest, sat with 6 great people, including Mayor Jim Suttle and his wife Deb.  What a delight.  The highlight of the night was seeing our youth come to life and full of light as they shared their experiences of Inclucity Camp...  INCREDIBLE INDEED!

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.
