This blog was started in 2008 to reflect on my volunteer work in South Africa. My intentions to live in SA stem from an attraction to what rises out of a place grappling to find a new identity and the people struggling to find their place in a new democracy. I stay on, not always knowing why I am here and what I have yet to accomplish. This blog is an exploration of my time, my limitations and my triumphs in this land. I hope there are some pearls to glean for those who read these postings!

Let the countdown begin!
Phew!!! I have so many knots and twists in my belly and am trying to just breathe as slowly as possible. In 13 minutes my cab should arrive for me to take my leave of Queens - onto JFK airport - and then onto Johannesburg. I arrive tomorrow (Saturday) at 5pm SA time. Everyone in my life has been so generous with their time and support and I would like to take this moment to say "thank you"! You have been all I could have ever asked for. Next time you hear from me, I'll be on the other side of the Atlantic in the Southern Hemisphere enjoying spring weather! Good bye for now, adieu adieu.

Hi, Shannon. I heard that you arrived safely. I know you are tired. Call soon. Love, Dad.
