An exciting, food-filled, educational time in Washington, D.C. Great conversation; making new friends. Sadly, my classmate Melissa Voigt Horning passed away last week. I went to the funeral yesterday. Nikhil, with all the wisdom in the world suggested I go. People come and go in our lives. It prepares us for the future when others sadly pass away as well.
So, it got me thinking about life deeply. Melissa lived a short but fulfilling life. I want my time here on this ball of dirt called Earth to be worth my time and everyone else's. HA! I do graphic design as a living. It pays the bills. God gifted me with being an artist, but what if that is NOT my Calling in Life? What if this is just a stepping stone to something else God is preparing me for? Something I just haven't been ready for yet?
I'm thinking with my life experiences that I really gravitate more and more towards people who need comfort, to be understood, or at least need to feel like they belong. I despise bullying (who doesn't?), and I've been given so much. It only makes sense to give back more and more and more. BUT HOW?? Maybe I need to volunteer at nursing homes, soup kitchens, etc. That's a start.
I'd like to do the Race to Zero 5K next month (sexual assault and awareness prevention) as well as the
MS Walk this summer.
