HAPPY NEW YEAR

Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015!

As 2014 comes to a close I once again pack up my belongings in three suitcases, prepare myself for many tearful goodbyes and head to Uganda. 2014 taught me a lot and I am so grateful for all the people I met this year. I look forward to what the New Year has in store for me and for everyone else in the world! Below are just a few of my New Years Resolutions :)

New Years Resolutions 2015

1. Don’t give in to my doubts. Have faith and take a leap of faith every once in a while

2. Nourish my body – Avoid sweets, processed food, and deep-fried

3. Love myself for who I am inside and outside

4. Do not give in to idleness – Keep active and work hard in ALL things

Wishing you ALL a very happy New Year!

*Make 2015 your year! Do whatever you need to do to make yourself the happiest version of yourself J

LEAP OF FAITH

And so it begins…once more I am packing my bags and heading to the land of Cockroaches and dirt roads. In 28 days I will embark on an adventure that will take me exactly 13,900 km away from my home in Canada. That’s right, I’m going back to Uganda!

I have come to realize that I am not fit for the first world life. At least not right now. I want to wake up and splash my face with cold water if there is any that day, search my room for any roaches to scream and throw things at, eat a giant mango and hear the Muslim prayers screaming from the speakers at 5am. I want to have my arms filled to the point of overflowing with little African children, their black faces and bright eyes looking back at me with uncontrollable joy! I want to feel sweaty and gross after a hard days work. I want to spend 20 minutes killing mosquitos in my room before I finally fall asleep to the sound of bats outside my window.

I never wanted to go to Uganda. I never wanted to live in an overpopulated city. But God did. God wanted and needed me there. And now, he needs me there once again. I have no idea what will come of this next step and maybe nothing very noticeable will. All I know is that it’s time to step out of my comfort zone once again and take that leap of faith into the unknown!
