Here goes nothin'

It is a rather freeing, and new, feeling to drive away from home toward an adventure of a summer-my back seat only half full (thanks to a dear friend encouraging a season of simplicity), a surprise mixed cd (thanks to another dear friend) pumping through my average speakers and out my manual windows, and the sun shining like crazy.
And, yes, I'm a bit afraid.
And, yes, I'm very apprehensive.
And, yes, this is one of the most exciting things I've done.

I had a lovely and refreshing lunch (thanks to yet another dear friend), a pit stop at Windermere to be reminded of the lessons learned last summer and a bit of encouragement for some beautiful women, and finally an evening with the brother and sister-in-law (where the loud and constant buzzing of the Cicada reminded me that this world does not belong to me, I am simply in it).
And thus, my first 2 months of residency out of good ol' BO, MO ensued.

I will work full days at the Child's Advocacy Agency of Indianapolis, hopefully finding some clarity for my future in the areas of social work and law. (childadvocates.net)
My nights and weekends will be filled living and working on an Urban Farm, hopefully finding some knowledge base and specific goals for living more sustainably in Bolivar and on the Pine Ridge Reservation with the great Lakota Sioux.

I may have bitten off a rather large bite and, yes, that is a bit scary.
But I serve a Perfect Provider and Sustainer.
And I will learn very deep lessons of Dependence through this all.

So, here goes nothin'...little small town girl with an open heart, headin' off to the big city for a new adventure. Bring it on :)
