A friend from college, my ‘lil Aimee, is in Uganda. And she is keeping a blog of her journey. I sat down today and read all of her posts so far and it was so beautiful and humbling! Aimee is seeing the world in a whole different way, a way that many Americans will never even think to experience.
Aimee, though, has always craved these kinds of experiences. And she experiences things fully ~ she’s present, she’s loving, she’s open, she listens and she’s so smart!
If you are interested in keeping up with her journey as well, you can visit the link on the sidebar entitled “Aimee O.”, but I wanted to share a story that I read this morning and has stayed in my heart all day.
First, you must read [URL=http://handsfullofheartstones.blogspot.com/2007/01/ezama.html]Rich In Name[/url].
And then [URL=http://handsfullofheartstones.blogspot.com/2007/01/rich-in-name-part-2.html]Rich In Name, part II[/url].
Isn’t that the most beautiful thing? It is the perfect description of my most cherished friend.
I don’t know you Ali, but thank you for sharing your friends journal entries. I even posted a comment to her because I was really touched by the rich in name story. What a wonderful way to connect and share with people.
Very inspiring.
