For the next 3 months I'll be training to be a full-time foreign volunteer with an organization (email me for the name). Here's some pics so you know that I'm alive and well and l o v i n g it here. Here's my home for the next 3 months...it's cute, cozy and can fit all 60 of us for morning prayer In Louisiana there are these things called "spiders". I call them monsters. See an example of one in the picture above. I have what one calls, 'arachnophobia'...a highly irrational fear of spiders. Well. This is just one picture of a banana spider. I walked outside wanting to find one so I could snap a pic for all of you and I found one right outside our door. Yesterday I was on a run and I looked up and there were two spiders that had made webs that stretched ACROSS THE STREET AND WAS CONNECTED TO TWO DIFFERENT TREES. WHY. but in all honesty, I'm trying to face my fears and I'm getting better with the spideys. When I see a particularly large one, its become sort of fascinating and their webs are extremely intricate...so that's kinda cool. There's this big ol' back porch on the house that I'm in and it looks out over this gorgeous field and forest (insert heart eye emoji here). I've been in training for a week and it's going great. I'm really loving the people and the environment. I celebrated my birthday and they made me chocolate cake and showered me with love and quality time (yay).
For now that's all until I update next Sunday :)

hey.my moto is summarized best by these words:
“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.” -Brene Brown thanks Brene. you're quite the gal. Past Musings
