With this trip officially starting for me in about 3-5 hours I think it’s time for me to blog a little. I have been really excited for this trip. Too excited at times and really nervous most of the time. I keep on having to explain to family and friends what I am doing and I am realizing that I can’t really put into words what the journey will entail. I can give a skeleton of what we are going to be doing, what we are going to be seeing but I don’t think that is enough. You can’t put into words other people’s experiences and daily grind. I am looking forward to all of the lessons I will learn on this trip, about myself, the community and my fellow babaes. The build up to my flight day has been a fast roller coaster. I’ve spent every moment with family, loved ones, friends and co-workers and have closed a chapter of my life and am opening another with this trip. I know that it will be challenging, challenging both mentally and physically but I am willing to sacrifice my comfort and let go of the fear of the unknown…. for growth.
