My First Time Praying
I wasn't sure how I became so depressed and self-destructive. I remember wanting so badly to be content with myself. But, no matter what I did I couldn't be. Not on my own. I believe now, that we are born with challenges that we must face to grow and learn about the beauty of love, or God. I didn't know this then the first time I cried for his help, his sovereignty.I was crying because I was lost, lost inside my mind where I've laid or relied on my entire life.

Beyond Words. Runner-up in Travel Snaps Challenge.
It was about halfway into my seven-week study abroad in rural Kenya that I realized I had not journaled a single time throughout the experience thus far. But even as I sat down that very evening, determined to commit some vital memories and reflections to my journal, I knew I wouldn't make much headway; there was a part of me that was opposed to trying to record this particular journey there. I wanted it to remain separate, unique, untouched by my 'ordinary' life back in upstate New York. In the end, I came away with not even one whole pageful of words.

Just 105 Miles South of Key West
A short window of time opened during the Obama administration allowing Americans to visit Cuba for family or educational reasons. To celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in 2017, my husband and I booked a cruise and tour in Havana. My father's side of the family came from Cuba, and I have always been curious about his homeland. Although I don't speak the language, just being there would rekindle interest in my heritage.

The Journey
We all have different life experiences. Some of us were born and raised in the same town and have no desire to leave. Then others of us can't seem to stay in one place for more than a year or two. They are always looking for the next adventure or the next thrill.
