Is it even a word? For me, right now, this is definitely a feeling!
I'm realizing that my life is so changing for the better. But sometimes in order to get the better thing you have to let go of the thing you're currently holding onto. For me, right now, that's my church home and community; people who have invested heavily in me; people I've invested in.
It's time to let go and reach for something bigger and better, like my dreams!
Hopefully I'll be able to post soon! And, with pictures!

Leaving on a Jet Plane...don't know when I'll be back again...no, really!
So, I'm taking a moment to write. Mostly I'm taking this moment because I need to slow down a little and take in the amazing blessings that I've been showered with over these last three weeks. Yeah, just three weeks!
1. I landed my "dream" job.
2. I got a passport in 1 business day.
3. I have received the most generous donations, and am able to see the proof that what you sow, you also reap. Emotionally. Mentally. Spiritually. Tangibly, too. I mean, who offers to give away luggage? I had three or fours offers!
4. I am more emotionally connected to myself. (This might seem trivial to some, but for me, it's a huge blessing to know myself, and to know myself known.)
5. My passport came back with a visa for 90 days! (and not the day before, or the actual day that, I leave!)
6. I have storage in the basement of my current apartment, which makes "moving" so much easier! Thank you Robin!
7. I was able to leave my job well. Sad for my co-workers who will freeze in the summer and swelter in the winter! How backwards!
8. I listened to my mom talk (online) about love and family. Redemptive moments in history...not just personally, but globally too!
So, if you're reading this, thank you. I'm sure in some way, you've touched my life and I'm grateful for that. If you are one of the Professors I worked for at BU, thank you for showing me that gratitude for the smallest thing is necessary and truly honoring. If you are a friend I haven't seen in a while, it's likely that our relationship has shaped me in ways that drew me closer to God and my understanding of myself. If you are my mother (heh. you better be reading this!), thank you for the foundation you laid in my life; for the ways you proved that life could be hard and still good; for the ways that you gave me life, in many ways; for the love that you proved...never-ending, all-encompassing, from the bottom of your heart, even when it hurt.
I look forward to sharing my journey with you all!
