For those of you who haven't heard.... I'M MOVING TO AFRICA!!!!
I have sold my house, taken a leave from work and gotten rid of nearly everything I own. It's a great feeling! I will be going to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to live and work with the Missionaries of Charity. Many people have heard of the great work those sisters do, and I am priviledged to share in their work and live as a volunteer in their homes. I'm not really sure what to expect, except to expect the unexpected. I am assured of a great adventure, a new storehouse of stories and no doubt an experience of a lifetime.
According to the countdown clock on my Facebook page, I have 70 days to go before leaving Saskatoon. I feel like I have a million things to do, but I'm sure that I can get them all done. The beauty of selling everything you own is that you have far less things to take care of!!

I will be out of my house by the end of the month and that will be HUGE!!! As I purge my life of THINGS, the reality of what I'm setting out to do is drawing near. I have every confidence that I'm doing the right thing, but I can't deny that there are some moments of fear and anxiety!
Looking forward to a great summer with family and friends. Not sure how much I'll blog before I go, but thought the page looked empty without anything on it. Besides, I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of blogging before I hit slow speed internet and get too frustrated.
