The first time I told my story at this Rosemount Alano Clubhouse, I was seriously wondering if it would be the last speech of my life. Well, I’m still alive, left cancer behind, so God ain’t done with me yet.
The Rosemount Alano is in the “Little White House” behind Thrivent, and the address is:
14680 S Robert Trail, Rosemount, MN 55068
It’s an Open Meeting, which means anyone can go.
Here are some potential topics I’ll cover and I may as well give some background on myself.
“Which Plays a Larger Role in Shaping One’s Recovery: Success or Failure?”
Timothy Cameron’s BIO speaking in the third person:
✔Motivational Healer of Broken Hearts, MADD/Restorative Justice Speaker, Author of ‘The Little Book of Miracles, Stories from the Incomplete Skeptic’, Christian Mystic, Poet, Prodigal Son Returned Home.
Timothy Cameron is a “Victim Impact Panel” speaker since January of 1991, beginning with MADD Minnesota. He is in long-term 12-Step alcoholic recovery since August of 1990 and joined the other 12-Step program (Friend of Lois) in May of 1991.
As coal is transformed by time and great pressure into a diamond, Timothy Cameron’s story reveals how Trials by Fire can refine and transform hearts and minds and 'Turn Lives Around'. Timothy Cameron served 13 1/2 years as an Insider. He says "I Am More Than My Mugshot: Where There is Justice, Let There be Restoration & Forgiveness".
He now speaks tirelessly to Deconstruct Recidivism & make deep dives into Relapse Prevention. Most prisoners suffer from Trauma and law enforcement personnel often suffer from Compassion Fatigue; by revealing how his life was transformed from tragedy & trauma into alchemical triumph, he births wellness & healing in the consciousness of Offenders and Law Enforcement Professionals alike. He has spoken at many treatment centers, correctional facilities, religious organizations, schools, and colleges.
Both Offenders and Law Enforcement Professionals have experienced trauma in the system and society; Timothy acquaints listeners with a catalyst for deep forgiveness to reconcile the trauma. As a MADD Speaker embracing Restorative Justice concepts to prevent drunk driving, he seeks to heal the wounded hearts of audiences, introducing deep forgiveness to tear down walls of resistance. Some Offenders have reported their lives being changed after hearing Timothy’s Story.
Timothy Cameron unveils tools for dismantling recidivism from the Prodigal Son’s POV. In the late 1980s, the chief prison psychiatrist at MCF-OPH placed the following prognosis in Timothy’s profile: “It’s a foregone conclusion Timothy Cameron will spend the rest of his life in prison”. Never believe any prediction or story that doesn’t empower you. He’s also a Poet and a writer.
Timothy organized ‘Phoenix 490’, a network of Impact Speakers who confront a wide breadth of societal issues, ranging from substance abuse, alcohol-impaired driving, healing racism, and rebuilding trust between the police and community at large.
Change begins with honesty. Timothy poetically measures his stories after the Intuitive Tradition. You’ll find intuitive reasons for refreshment, knowing that Change is Real.
