Do you remember my post about the book, Amazing Things Will Happen: A Real-World Guide on Achieving Success and Happiness by C.C. Chapman?
Well, amazing things do happen! The earth is a big place and I am going to make it a little smaller by starting to experience more of it. You see, I am currently en route to Haiti for a potentially life changing trip.
YES, HAITI.
It’s not a vacation; it’s an adventure!
I’m taking a leap of faith. I’m TOTALLY outside of my comfort zone.
But I just know it’s going to be magical.
