The last three weeks have been incredible. It feels as though I've been away for a lifetime, but in reality it is just a month (ok, I have been in Asia for 3 weeks). I feel so privileged to have the opportunity to visit these nations. It gives me so much to think about, because I see how big the world is and how many people are in it, and questions ( Read more... )

Well, I never thought I would be here. It is funny to consider life and what happens. For the most part I remain astounded because there is no way I could ever have planned it to be so.
