TOGO

…I am in Africa!

After a race to finish packing with the taxi waiting outside, a flight to Paris where I met a few other Mercy Ships volunteers, and a flight to Togo, I was greeted warmly by a torrential down pour! Hello Africa!

I am getting settled into my cozy cabin on the ship-no windows-with sweet roommates, and am excited to start my first day of work tomorrow!

Thank you lord for this incredible gift, and I can't wait to see the rest of it!!!!

2010 started with an adventure of a lifetime!

Here are some glimpses of our adventure of a lifetime in India...
We planned, booked, packed and arrived in India all within less than 2 weeks! It was a spontaneous joy...filled with special memories, crazy moments, adventures galore, tender interactions, new friends, and an experience we will never forget...I still have the smell of Indian apricot hair oil and burning trash in my veins...I love you India!

I had the wonderful opportunity to talk with and shadow Todd Heisler Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and staff photographer for the New York Times...his photo project One in 8 Million is an inspiration:

...and here is a photo he took of me while out shooting for the cover of the Times, on one last fall day this past November! I almost made the cover but, didn't. But it was a magical moment I was under a shower of golden Ginko leaves!!!
