Bonjou!

Welcome to my blog. Guess that's not too original, but I must admit this is my first blog. I begrudgingly pounded blogspot.com onto my keypad, doodled around with appearances, and incessantly emailed several unexpecting friends over which design to choose; all because it was insisted upon by an Editor friend of mine that I must blog while in Haiti - especially since this small project will eventually become part of a larger project. So there you have it...the truth. I figured if you are going to follow along for the next month, the least I can do is be upfront and honest - this blog was against my better judgment.

That being said. Once I started changing color themes and working with font size, I realized I was actually enjoying the process. Soon the anticipation of starting this new endeavor was quite overwhelmingly fantastic. It turns out that the thing I had been dreading has become something I, daresay, am looking forward to. Then again, isn't that usually how it works?

This is just a welcome, though. A prologue to my experience in Leogane, Haiti. For 28 days I will write daily (a feat I am still struggling to commit to full-heartedly) and will post a blog as often as possible (electricity is only available for a couple hours at night, at best.) This soul-clarifying, life-changing, heart-breaking adventure (that's a lot of weight put onto one one experience!) begins Saturday, June 19th. See you back here in 4 days...and counting.
