Bittersweet Good-bye

Post written Jan 6th 2012:

The time has come! I leave tonight for an overnight flight to Paris where I will be spending the next 3 months in language school before I head to Congo!  It is the right time, and I feel ready to make a leap of faith and begin this next chapter of my life.

It was wonderful to say good-bye to so many friends dear friends.  I am so thankful for a community here in Chicago that has loved me and supported me throughout this journey.  I look forward to coffee Skype dates and long emails in the future.  I carry these friends with me wherever I am because they have shaped me and sharpened me along the way.  I'm sorry I didn't have good-bye photos with all the people I love, but know that I love you and am thankful for you!
