When I signed up to travel to Tanzania with GIVE, I didn't know what to expect. I had always envisioned traveling to Africa for a volunteer opportunity, but what I found when I arrived was even more amazing than I anticipated.
After arriving on the island of Zanzibar, we settled into our hotel, Baby Bush Lodge, and then were off to see the school which we would be help building for the next ten days. During orientation, I was hooked on a few things that our leads told us stuck with me for the duration of the trip (by way of my journal).
A couple of weeks ago, I decided it was time for a change. My hair had gotten too long for me to manage. I struggled with what to do next: do I go big and chop it off or go with what I know?
I've decided to chop, but how short? How do I style it? What do I do if I can't put it in a pony tail?

A year ago today, I stepped foot on the fourth continent in my goal to make it to all seven. The continent of South America.

The May Daily is: an acknowledgement that yes, we have no idea what we’re doing, but we’re figuring it out. One day at a time.
This year for New Year's, I'm so tempted to make another resolution about losing weight, getting my finances in order, finally running that marathon, painting more, or truly taking up cooking. Instead, my New Year's Resolution is to continue a promise I made myself back in May and live my life on purpose.
I'm giving myself the resolution of letting go. Letting go of all the expectations that people have for me. Letting go of the typical midwestern life that one should have at 28. Letting go of the societal pressures to stick to the mold. Letting go of the things that don’t bring me happiness and contentment.
