Well folks, as most of you know I am returning to El Salvador. In a matter of hours in fact. This time I am working with the community of Las Delicias to help promote nonviolence. The reality is, this new adventure is pretty unknown. I have some ideas of how parts of it will work but in the end I am entering 8 weeks of uncertainty. A part of me is quite excited to be beginning such a new journey but another part is rather nervous for what the next 8 weeks hold. But I am trying to find a way to accept this uncertainty because as my wise neighbor Kiki said, we all need uncertainty in life because that is what keeps it interesting.
I have received an overwhelming amount of support from family and friends to take such a great leap in my life. It feels like just yesterday that I couldn't make it through a night at a friend's house and now I am going to El Salvador on my own. But I do not feel that I am completely on my own. I know I have so much love supporting and holding me through this new experience. I know this wouldn't be possible without that.
As I prepare to depart, know that I am holding you, my dear family and friends, in my heart. A part of me aches to be leaving you again but I know you will be here, with arms spread wide to welcome me home again.
