Late for Christmas, early for New Years; I’ll get timeliness down one of these days.
I wish all my loved ones warm and joyful celebrations. With a new year upon us I’d like to reflect on things that have blessed my life this past year and make me look forward to what lies ahead.
A brother-in-law. Peter. Skiing. Snowboarding. A bachelor’s degree. A summer in Madison. Living with Katie and Christian. A job at WREN. Living in a new African country. Adding more parents and siblings to my family. The opportunity to work in international education. Caring friends. AIESEC. Those who donated to my school and foundation. Getting through sickness. Maman Solange’s care and love. Papa David’s understanding and compassion. Mom and Dad’s continual support of my adventures. My American family. My weekly sugary beignets (doughnuts) that would be the cause for most people’s New Years Eve resolution to be to work out more. Fresh fruit and vegetables. A good education. Books at my disposal. Dances. African hospitality. Traveling. Seasons. Speaking French. Sharing the real American culture. Learning through doing. Global competency. Eager children. The leaders I have met that are my inspiration.
Love and Peace.
Be thankful for what life brings you. We have much for which to be grateful.
