some days, or maybe most days people get these great visions in their head. One day I got one, to go to Africa. Inspired by my much younger cousin who went while he was in High School, well maybe not so much by him but by the pictures. Then I come to teach in St. Joe MO and one of my student's families adopted to African children. Beauty. that word describes everything that I saw in the pictures and in the children at our school. So begins my journey. the journey to venture to Africa, and venture hoping that I'll come back to the States.
so I'll leave you now--and say *joyfully africa*
