Portland Summer


Today gave direction. Summer plans no longer hang suspended in spring air. I have been accepted into the Barack Obama Fellowship Program! And they're sending me to Portland for the summer to organize the community for the fall. Just knowing that I have something purposeful to do makes me so happy. I feel like life breathed into my nostrels today and woke me up from a lull.

A summer in bustling, eclectic Portland. A summer spent organizing people for a great cause. A summer with my grandparents (I'll be staying with them--how perfect, huh?). A summer. A perfect summer.

I get home on the 27 of July. And greeting me will be my mission call--my next adventure.

Life is coming together.

I'm....happy.
