Sanctuary

Safe behind my eyelids, I feel the cool darkness around me. I am removed from the world for brief moment when the stillness is broken by a voice.It resonates from somewhere behind me, steady and sure.

"You been prepared for this moment and you are ready."

I take a deep breath, in, out. It takes a moment to focus in, out. The rhythm reassures me and a warm confidence beings to light my soul.

"I want you to see your potential, you are here to do great things, things that you haven't fathomed yet. You are powerful."

It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, waiting to jump, not feeling scared but simply anticipating the moment. I take another deep breath and allow the confidence to grow within me, filling my whole being.

"You know how to accomplish your goal, but remember there will be obstacles and distractions. Focus your mind and spirit and I will show you how to overcome them. I will strengthen you. I will not leave you alone."

I open my eyes as light breaks in front of me, blinding me momentarily as I step into the unknown.

So, recently I have been working 30 hours a week and going to school full time. It is almost repetitious to say that I have been quite busy.

However, I made time for this post because it contains BIG NEWS:

I'm going to Moscow, Russia for Fall semester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going through a program called i.l.p aka International Language Program and I will be teaching English to elementary aged children. WOOOHOOOOO

I has been a relatively difficult decision for me to make- but I feel great about this decision and know that it will be an incredible experience.

I googled Moscow:
