I left a part of my heart in Africa, almost five years ago to the day and this very day last year my heart was beating across the globe in Kenya. When you identify what makes you come alive, do it. Even when it seems crazy - scary - out of this world - I'm learning that small internal flame is there for a reason and I'm meant to Go - to see - to feel - to share my heart and in turn, shine a light.
This morning I woke to amazing news that dear Obama, my precious little friend from Kisumu last fall went back to school today - for the first time in over two years. Not only is he going to school, he will also receive Food - daily meals to nourish his little body, guidance & supervision and the opportunity to be a kid and feel safe during the day.

This boy has stayed in my mind and on my heart for so many months and I've prayed and sought ways for him to have the chance to thrive - to have opportunities that come so easy to us fortunate ones, yet seem so difficult and hard to obtain for the millions of children in Africa like him.
Today is a very good day and I am reminded again why my heart is called to Go. Be. Love.
