MY SUPER, AWESOME, EXCITING, WONDERFUL, JOYOUS ANNOUNCEMENT

You could say I’m an adventure driven person.

I always have been.

I love everything about an adventure-

the mystery,

the excitement,

the wonder,

the uncertainly,

the revelations,

and everything else that comes with that.

Its incredible to me…

the way adventure changes you.

You never end the same person you were when you started.

You change….

You learn….

You grow…

All for the better.

I have never been interested

in staying with in the comfort zone of my own culture

or community.

What’s the fun in that?

I have always believed that,

while staying in your comfort zone is

Well, comfortable,

And easy,

It’s not where the magic happens.

Nothing extraordinary ever happens

in the confines of your own comfort.

There is so much to see,

experience,

and so many adventures to take.

I’m so excited to travel the world

and photograph people of other cultures

and their different kind of beauty.

SO….

It is with GREAT pleasure that I am here to announce that……

DRUM ROLL PLEASE……

IM GOING TO AFRICA!

Kenya,

to be more accurate.

I have the opportunity to travel to Kenya next summer with a dear friend who is opening a drug rehab center and I’m coming along to photograph its building.

(O.k. the two day Safari through the African plains might have something to do with it as well)

I am completely blown away that I have this amazing opportunity.

I could not be more excited

Or overjoyed.

This is a dream come true for me

And I am overwhelmed with gratitude.

But I am also overwhelmed by the fact that I need to raise 4000 bucks

In the next ten months….

So if you can

AND

would like to help me out.

PLEASE let me know.

I will need all the finical help I can get.

Every cent will help.

But I’m not writing this to ask for money.

Anyway, that’s my news and I’m overjoyed to finally share it.

You have no idea how hard it was for me to keep it a secret for this long. ;)

Thanks for listening to me babble over the internet.;)

EEPPP!

Have I mentioned I'm excited! ;)

What's been going on in your life, person of the internet?

I’d love to here! ;)
