Winds of Change

Well some of you know some of you don't sooo for the non-Facebook people in my life. I have decided to join the Peace Corp!!! The decision came quickly and fast, like most of mine have been, but I am so excited and nervous!! At present my destination is Vanuatu doing .....Health Education.... (http://vanuatu.peacecorps.gov/projects-ch.php) My anticipated departure date is ....... January 25th 2015. My current job has been notified and man that changes things a lot. (but that's for a different blog post) My goal of being debt free is almost to that point thanks to my wonderful mother who will be taking over my last student loan (which is interest free, this is a huge deal for me) and for letting me use her "toy" car as we call it. Yuppers i'm driving around FL in a BMW convertible Z3 complements of my mommy!! (Isn't she the best!) All of this is related to me selling my little blue car to a family in my church. (I kinda miss it a lot, but i'm grateful I could help out someone else). My credit cards carry a zero balance again (which they hadn't i'm sad to say in almost a 6 months). I have a dental card with a grand on it i'm working on now, then i can start putting money back for all the stuff I have to buy prior to leaving. (visit http://amzn.com/w/2I3P8WQZ65PTL to help out with items needed) I can't believe how quickly this decision has changed my way of life. Now instead of looking for the stuff i don't have or feel i must have, i'm stressed over what to do with the stuff i do have. This is even harder not knowing if or when i will ever return to the states to live again. Sure i'll visit but i'm starting to think i'd enjoy my life best spent in serving the people of the world. In hearing their stories and being their voices. I wonder if this is a product of feeling like i had no voice for so long as a Native American living in a white world, I almost feel like I have to give others the chance to be seen and heard. Call me crazy I guess but i don't think America has all the answers to the problems we face. Don't for a second think I wish I was born some where else!!!! I am American through and through BUT I also know that my foundation and honestly my own family history has made me an explorer. Since I can remember I've always loved learning and studying others for no purpose then to try and see things the way others see them.
Well I feel like this post is getting long enough BUT I also feel like my soul is opening and recognizing the choices I am making not just for me but I hope one day many years from know for a young girl just like me seeking a voice in such a loud world.

Lots of Love
