And so the day has arrived. All the excitement and anticipation is ahead. Without question there will be swings in the pendulum - I cannot even imagine what this experience is going to be like for me. I love leaping without expectations.
My last conversation with Suzanne was about Africa - she was so excited about my going - I was going to visit her as soon as I returned...we would watch "Out of Africa" again together, I would share stories, we would repeat our "channeling Meryl Streep" scene washing her hair on the porch — she would close her eyes and dream of a day when she would be healthy enough to go... Whatever I have come to believe through this journey these past months - I know with out doubt there is an angel on my shoulder today and she will be joining me on this voyage... my heart overjoyed with the possibilities that will unfold - I will listen, I will pay attention, my eyes and my ears are alert for there will be a special guild showing me the way.
This trip is dedicated to the memory of Suzanne Marquis
and a super big "Thank You" to my fabulous husband and kids because with out you this would not be possible - my strength and my purpose - I want to do more and be more because of you all my love xoxoxo
