Free Falling

On the eve of our departure to Nepal I’m excited but ambivalent. Then I take a deep breath and remember why I’m traveling for 33 hours straight across the largest ocean. Because I’ve been yearning for an adventure, a new perspective on life, an escape from my own American gluttony, a chance to give, and a refining fire. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I believe we can do better than this! If I don’t start living my fantastic life now I may not get around to it later. In dental school my priorities were unregrettably rearranged but it’s time to build my priorities the way I want them.
Kevin and I have this phrase we use with each other: “Will this help me live my fantastic life?” and because of this I choose to go.

Praise God, Jessica, to not be satisfied with the status quo, and to keep asking how you can make better where you are. I appreciate your two cents. :)
