What I’m up to...

Hello all,

I am posting this purely for time saving purposes so I don't have to explain my upcoming plans to each one of you individually. (apologizing in advance for my laziness)

Very soon, I embark upon my most exciting adventure yet! I leave for Kolkata (Calcutta), India October 1st. and will be there for 2 and a half months. While there I will be volunteering at Missions of Charity, the organization Mother Teresa started. There, they have a house for the Destitute and Dying and an orphanage for disabled street children. I have been wanting to do something like this for over a year now... AND I'm FINALLY GETTING MY CHANCE!!!

I hope to learn a lot while on this trip... I know it will be very intense, but I am excited about what I will learn experientially and spiritually while away. I want to experience truly serving others... for no reason other than love.

The decision to do this was very intimidating. I had to quit my 2 jobs, thus throwing away all of my precious financial security, to heed this call. So far, everything has been coming together nicely for my trip which affirms to me I'm moving in the right direction. I found a friend willing to sub-let my place while I'm gone and I've received some startlingly generous donations from my friends and family to help me along my way.

Thanks so much to you all for your love, encouragement, and support! Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers while I'm away...

Ps. Not sure how it will go yet, but I may post blogs while over there to keep you all posted on my activities. We'll see...
