Thank you Linda for taking your passion, patience and also practicality to serve the world. I hear you! In 2005, at age 37 after supporting my exhusband 10 years, I sold the home I lived in, most of my possessions and created/facilitated a volunteer literacy project in Belize. I listened and adapted and collaborated. With the teachers I developed a creative writing program using indigenous legends to teach in the schools. It was life altering. The past several years I have spent time in Haiti, Ghana, Kenya, and 24 other countries building bridges between cultures; listening to, collecting and sharing stories of innovation and resilience. I also have a Body Image program sharing my own journey through anorexia and reframing from the external to honoring our bodies for all they do for us. I am so very grateful! I also carry a FREE HUGS sign wherever I go and connect with homeless people sharing conversation, soup or sandwiches. I may not have much in terms of typical wealth, but I do in terms of sharing hope, understanding and honoring local human beings. Here's to each of us doing what we can to serve in whatever ways we are able! Hugs from my heart to yours! Kristin
