Well folks. The time is really here. I was driven down to SF by the fabulous Ms. Faith in the fabulous Infinity. Hit up REI for last minute things like a mosquito net and quick drying towels (and cool socks too!) , did some Indian food, and spent a mellow evening in Oakland. Breakfast this morning and I shuttled it to the airport!
Luckily there wasn't any hassle with my bags on this end. Could be another story on the receiving end, but we'll see how it goes. Currently I'm sitting at my gate waiting to get on the plane!!
I can still barely believe that I'm embarking on this journey alone, but something greater than myself seems to be propelling me forward. I feel incredibly blessed by the love and support my community has bestowed on me and I'm looking forward to linking with a new community on the other side of the world! Crazy!!!!!!! (wait, that's me....I'm the crazy one!)
I'll miss you all until July!!! MWAH!

Two days left!!!!! I can't believe that I'm actually about to be traveling to Africa!! Alone. Yeah, I must be crazy.
As I get myself ready I'm met with feelings of excitement, fear, anticipation, vulnerability....you name it. I don't know what to expect and I have minimal expectations. I am going with an open heart and mind and I'm sure it will be just one of my many amazing life adventures.
I managed to collect over 80 pounds of medical supplies (thank you Eureka Home Infusion) and I have stickers, bouncy balls, balloons, crayons, etc. for the kiddos. I know I will be overwhelmed upon arrival, but I am trying to prepare myself as best I can.
Last night I hosted a going away party/45 shoot out at my house. What's a 45 shoot out you say? Well, it's a DJ battle....on turntables...with vinyl. And the theory is that these sounds (groups of DJs) come to "kill" each other with their records. Musical murder....and all for fun. I pit One Wise Sound vs. TCH sound for Humboldt's 1st 45 shoot out and TCH won!!!! They definitely had crowd bias working in their favor, but it was a great time had by all. :) More clash mi seh!!!! and hopefully if I bring more in the future crowd bias will dissipate.
