L3: Nkwenda Inho Amaka

Last night, after a full day of clinic with a pause of yoga in between, I had a revelation Asher. I was riding my bike and for some reason, I decided to let go. Unconsciously, my hands fell to my sides and I was riding with no hands. It seems trivial, but the strange thing? I wasn't afraid. Every time before, I was in fear of falling. Yet, this time, nada. Then I thought... "This is going to be a good year."

Before going to bed, I held little Edisa, the elephant, and prayed for the kids to be safe. It just felt right tonight.

This morning at 6:30AM, I woke up to a phone call. It was Ugandan and I just knew. It was the first time since leaving that I talked to them and I have never felt more relief.

Nkwenda inho amaka. I love you very much family.

DELLL: The Pearl of Africa

It's been two months since I left for Uganda. Now back in the States, it seems like the summer slipped through my fingers. This has been one amazing adventure.

I can only hope to one day find my amaka (family) and the part of my heart I left in the Pearl of Africa.
