A lil more...

Happy HOLYdays!

Peace Corps Challenges

1. Riding your bike on the sandy streets while wearing your fancy schmanzy Peace Corps helmet!
2. Communicating in Portuguese and then worrying about what your counterparts are saying in the local language :D
3. IT. IS. HOT!
4. In relation to numero 3… Must. Find. Water.

They´ll be more challenges to come but since I love focusing on the positives of every situation I would like to say that I am having an awesome time. I don’t have a house due to the delays of my NGO but I saw the construction that’s taking place and it’s really exciting just to imagine my little home. I’ve meditated every day since I got to Mozambique, gave up drinking and just recently started praying about everything. It’s really amazing what a few changes to your daily life can do to you. You start seeing life with such different eyes. Mozambicans aren´t just Mozambicans they are beautiful people that don´t really need any “thing” but they, just like the rest of us, need to realize the riches that already exist within them. I´ve also come to realize that I don´t really do anything for anybody but myself…now this sounds selfish, but so what if it is… by caring about what truly makes me happy I not only bring happiness to myself but to those around me. I have concluded that everything has it’s own vibration, since EVERYTHING is energy. This includes emotions/feelings … therefore when I am happy; my “self” vibrates at a certain frequency, which can be felt by others. Those who wish to vibrate at the same frequency will… and those who´s frequency is too different will reject my presence. See life is not as complicated as we make it seem. We are all just energy in vibration :D

I´ll publish more often than once a month... also coming soon.. my new P.O. Box!!

peace & <3!
