Beautiful Things.

This is happening.  I just finished creating a blog to document my journey pre-Kenya, in Kenya, and post-Kenya adventures.  I still can't believe this is real!

Let me tell you, don't ask my friends or family about Kenya.  They might hit you.  They will at least give you a withering glance.  Because, angels that they are, they are tired of hearing about it.  I don't think I've talked about anything else for the last few months...I know I haven't talked about anything else.  First it was the Summer Internship application, interview and nerves.  The constant email checking on announcement day.  The heart drop as I read first words of the email saying I had not gotten a position as a Made In The Streets Summer Intern.  The heart soaring as I read that I was being offered the Merchandise Development Internship position instead.  The mild panic - could I commit 3 months?  The decision making process.  The long, newsless holiday break.  The forgotten passion(and more panic) - what made me think I was cut out for this?  The meeting with Cecily and the reigniting of passion.  The plane ticket and insurance purchasing. The invitation to join the Summer Interns' training weekend.  The joy I felt when I met all those wonderful people with like minds and hearts. 

And here we are.  Out of breath? Me too. The term coined by my sassy loved ones is "Kenya Whiplash."

So, stay tuned, for the writings of my heart will soon fill these pages, and I'm sure you will all be waiting with baited breath.

Blessings,

Taylor
