The next big adventure....

I was reading the other day about the Power of Vulnerability (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/15/brene-brown-vulnerability_n_1150976.html?ref=tedtalks2011) and I wondered how many people truly allow themselves to be vulnerable?  And, how difficult it is to really take that leap, to try something crazy, different, and unknown, purely because you feel it is meaningful and important.

A quote from the Huffington Post article, from Howard Thurman really hit home "Don’t ask what the world needs; ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive." 


And, so it begins.  After several months of thinking, planning, worrying, dreaming, etc.  I am about to embark on a new journey.  A journey that makes me feel vulnerable, yet truly alive.  Follow me here as I journal about the next step post PhD- working in Ecuador with a rural community requesting help on the construction of a community center.
