Frexxhha??

Winding down the month of may, it has been relaxing to say the least. I start classes back up in June and another summer will pass, God i love summer. Rejuvenation at its finest.

My job has grown to be monotonous and I now realize how much more i want to finish school and leave, do something adventurous, be somewhere foreign, create something spectacular.

I don't know where I'm living in September, things will eventually come together.

But here it is, another summer, another dream, another place to be.

"You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing, but what you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself. " -Alan Alada

May Day

Today, the 1st of May. Summer has arrived, with a hint of summer heat and windy days it is the perfect way to end the school year.

*School* seems like i've been there forever, but i haven't gotten tired of it. It's fascinating to learn new things, explore new subjects and sometimes sit awestruck in a classroom while hearing something you have never even thought about.

Today I attended a presentation by Susi Childers a world-traveling photojournalist whose goal and calling was to give a "voice to the voiceless".

Susi and her husband, Paul, are part of a ministry called Voice for the Voiceless. She has a tremendous gift for photography, and travels around the world to take photos of people. She's got an amazing ability to capture the deepest emotions in her subjects, and she uses the photos to give a voice to those who are voiceless.

Her message to us was so profound, yet so simple, and it really made me think. Living in the U.S. it's an oddity that women are restricted on anything. In other countries women are subject to torture, prostitution, circumsion, women who are refugees, victims, women who have endured rape and abuse.

We are such a liberal country (more than others may think) that it is hard to imagine the lives of these women and how deep and silent their pain is.


It sounds so dreary, yet this is the depressing reaity of many women's lives. Sharing with even one person can make a difference.
