A peaceful beginning

Yesterday, I was in Minneapolis Minnesota and I finally received a phone call from the placement office after missing the first. I was asked a few questions about my experiences, my feelings, and my commitment. After endless minuets of rambling responses, I was asked if I had any questions for her.

"Am I invited?"

"Yes."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

with a hint of laughter, "You're welcome."

That my friends, is what finally enabled me to talk about my experiences. I have been applying for the Peace Corps for the past year and finally, I was invited and placed. I am now currently waiting on an invitation packet that will tell me where I am going and more of what I am doing.

I have been reading blogs, journals, and the general internets as a coping mechanism with the long and arduous waiting process, but I was afraid to lend my own voice to the conversation for fear of rejection. But now I know. Now, I am free and lite. Its a giddy feeling, but I am just grateful for the opportunity to serve.

I am opening this blog to keep my friends updated, to tell my story, and to be a little creative. Please bare with me as I learn the art.

Next update, when I receive my packet.
