My sister is in AFRICA!

Wow....I never thought I would say those words....I have spent the last couple days worring and thinking about my little sis who is embarking on the adventure and journey of a lifetime. I was very happy this morning to see that she has posted on her blog and is doing well.

I share some words from the blog post of hers before she left:

Ubuntu is an African concept basically standing for kindness towards other human beings, for caring, sharing and being in harmony with all of creation. It promotes cooperation between individuals, cultures and nations, an ideal founded on the concept of unity, collective work and responsibility, and empowerment through discipline and common purpose.

What a delightful time for me to come across this powerful, powerful mindset.

For the individual, it means something like, "I am who I am because of who we all are."
I know, that I am who I am, because of who you all are. Thank you to everyone, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me to grow to be the person who I am right now, getting ready to leave Saturday morning on this adventure.

I am who I am because of my sister Tamara. I am sooo proud of you sister!!
