A very special friend once shared this quote with me:
"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it! Because what the world needs is people who come alive"
I love this quote more than anything because there are so many things in this world that make it an ugly place but also a beautiful place all in the same. There will always be suffering, hunger, injustice and sadness but to balance these negatives we have hope, faith, happiness and compassion. When we find those things in life that make us "come alive" we are sharing and experiencing something beautiful with those around us. I encourage all of you to go and find something that makes you come alive!
When I was a little girl I couldn't even leave home long enough to have a sleepover with a friend without being "homesick". Now we fast forward to today and I am leaving home for 5+ months, living out of a backpack. Isn't it funny how things change? This is something I have talked about since highschool and finally my dream is becoming a reality. I am so unbelieveably fortunate to have this coming opportunity.
Stay tuned for the crazy adventures, emotional struggles and enlightened moments to come - less than 12 hours till I depart for my long trip to Bangkok!
Love
