Ziplining

So ziplining has been on my bucket list forever (soon to be a post). So,when my parents came to visit me for my birthday I was ready to go :D. My dad was a great sport and we ziplined and went on a rainforest tour. It was great and the beauty of seeing nature how God made it, is breathtaking. Until next time

New Beginnings

Hey All,

I know it has been over a month and I have been a bad blogger. However, life has been pretty crazy but Im going to try and step things up. This is the program for the first ever dance recital at Cayon High School. It was amazing to see hard work grow into talent. I experienced transformation.

This past weekend I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and hike. Going on a hike was one of the things on my bucket list. I am glad I was able to cross it off. However, anybody that knows me is fully aware that I am clumsy, I dont really like nature, and I am a little directionally challenged. I was asked by a fellow Peace Corps Volunteer to go hiking, the hike was a level 3 in difficulty. I did get a little dirty, but I did get some great pictures. Everyone was very shocked when they found out I went on a hike. A fellow volunteer told me something that has truly stuck with me. She said " You have found the new definition of how you choose to describe yourself". I have experienced the beauty of self-discovery and clarity.

Until next time

My Secondary Project

The month of June has been a busy month and I decided to stop by with an update. I have been volunteering with the National AIDS Secretariat (NAS) for nine months. NAS has participated in Community Testing Days throughout the island. In addition to an IT Techno Village Show which allowed the community and other businesses to see the website and Facebook page. If you get a chance check out nachaskn.org and http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nachaskn/204719879564965?ref=ts&sk=wall. The Community Testing Days offer convenience (local health centre or in town), good price (free of charge), and quick results (2 hours). I am experiencing the work of change agents.

A Breath of Fresh Air

A few weeks ago all the volunteers were invited to fellowship on our Sister Island Nevis. We all had a great time eating and reflecting on the work of the Peace Corps volunteers that have come before us. I find it very humbling that one day I will be included in the Peace Corps directory of past volunteers. This experience has given me the ability to reflect on the person I was and the person that I would like to become. I believe that I am truly blessed to have such great people helpng me along this journey. I am experiencing transformation.

Update

Hello All,

I know I have been neglecting my blog lately due to my work schedule. However, I have decided to make my posts more frequent. I plan to keep my pictures and inspirational words present. However I am going to try and spice this blog up. I am living present in the moment and I plan to take you with me.

Opportunity..what does it all really mean?

Opportunity is something that we all receive, but what do make of it?

You shouldnt allow your past habits to dictate your present situation
However opportunity comes and empowers those who are ready
And if you aren't ready it will go onto the next person
I live by the words of Samuel Gresham the President of the Columbus Urban League at the time I was
apart of Achievement Matters
He told us that we would remember the five P's for the rest of our lives
I dont believe in the phrase "Practice makes Perfect"
Practice makes you prepared for opportunity
Remember the Five P's
