We're off to Africa!

Hello everyone!

We are off to South Africa in 43 days!!! My partner Jared and I will be moving there November 13th (that is when we leave here) for a year. We were there in December last year and have decided to try it out for a year living there...

It hasn't really sunk in yet, what we are doing. We are in the process of applying for our visas...so much work those...FBI background checks and everything. We still have to do all the packing, including of our Portland apartment which we will be moving out of.

I am certainly going to miss Portland, I've lived here for 1.5 years now, and I like it here. But the world is calling, I have things to do, dreams to follow and passions to pursue.

It feels like the last 2 years, especially this last year has been some sort of training for me. I've been going to a spiritual group lead by Eric Robert and although its been a bumpy ride, a lot of which I've been kicking and screaming, I've come out ready to follow my dreams. Its a big dream really, one that frightens and excites me. A dream of helping people connect back to the environment, and have that incredible sense of place and connection.
