Locks of Love

Welcome to our blog! We are sharing this blog off of Steve's gmail account. We have decided that when I am writing I will be red and when he is writing he will be yellow. When we are both writing... as you might of guessed we will be orange. Simple enough I suppose.

I am excited to present a photo/journal my adventures through this very transitional time. I imagine it will help me to process India, Thailand and the life in-between. For those of you who don't know the details, Steve and I leave for New Delhi on Sept. 16th. Our return ticket is set for March 9th.

Our genral plans as of yet are:
1. Travel the North for 2 months.
2. Fly to Thailand and take a TEFL course in Ban Phe (an hour from Pattaya where my father lives) for a month.
3. Travel back to India and take a contract in India for teaching english as a foreign language.

This blog will travel with us and connect us to all who wish to enjoy it. It feels vulnerable to be so out there with my thoughts and photos without any immediate reaction from the outside. No matter how much I grow, I still have the thought "what will others think??" I imagine that this process of blogging will help me face that thought and move on from it. I want the world to see and feel something from reading and seeing my experiences... in essence that is the whole point! Who knows what will come from it? Overall I hope that it is joyous and inspirational.


Speaking of inspiration. A dear friend of mine from Vancouver has been diagnosed with cancer. He has already blessed my life with many gifts, including spending voluntary hours on a website that I created: www.cunite.org
His generosity has touched so many people that he knows and so many others that he doesn't.
Thank God that this love will return to him. Yesterday I did a little thing... but kinda big too... in his honor. I donated 13 inches of my hair to Locks of Love to make wigs for people with cancer. I know the short hair will be good in India for many reasons but I was not able to let go of my hair until I thought of a rightful place for it. So for Rama Tim in mind I send my much loved hair to someone else to wear. Thank you Rama Tim for always serving and making it possible for others to serve. Love and healing to you my friend!
