So Blessed



I have never felt so loved as I did yesterday. For all of you that came to wish me well, and even for those who did not make it but kept me in your thoughts- thank you.I am so excited, so excited for Mali, but I couldn't help but question why I would want to leave the most amazing people in the world- as so many of them were right there at 1880 Hickory Lane yesterday.

Thank you as well for the gifts. They were all very thoughtful and useful as well. Thank you especially for your kind words in your cards. I will bring them with me so I can always reflect on the love and support I have from all of you. You inspire me- all of you. And I decided that those of you that put a little money inside the cards- I am taking all of what was given to me yesterday and starting a little project fund. Once I get settled in my village and start to see what needs to be done, I'll come up with something special- a good use for all that money, and let you know what I ended up using it for.

You are all incredible, amazing friends and family. I hope one day I can show you the kind of love you all showed me yesterday. I am so, so blessed.
