So the travel begins

I just want to say thanks to everyone who has supported me in my venture to La Paz. Thanks to everyone who stopped by on Saturday and those of you who sent their well-wishes. I'm incredibly grateful for the blessings in my life - especially the people who have shaped me to become who I am today and have lead me to this awesome adventure. Thank you.

Leaving home and knowing how long I'm going to be gone has made me realize how deeply I love and how emotional I actually am. Emotion for me has not always been something I show on the outside but more of internal reflection... and I have definitely been reflecting. 

Right now I sit in the Miami airport while waiting for my connecting flight to La Paz... a great place to people watch as there are many many different kinds of people walking through. On the flight in I got to take a good look out the window over Miami and see how everything was built up. It's pretty ridiculous actually... There is the beautiful blue water and then just a grid of humanity with just about every square inch of space taken up. Looking down from the plane and seeing how small everything is really made me wonder how we can think so much of ourselves. We are so small yet we think so much of ourselves and want to only please ourselves. I hope I can detox from the American hustle and bustle of the daily selfishness we call our lives so I can humble myself and really make a difference. Maybe that was a little harsh.. but you get the point. I just want to be able to truly live, laugh and love.

I'm getting in to La Paz around 5:30am. Sleep tonight? eehhhh... maybe.
