you changed my life

Although this is a random post, and not my normal writings, I had to get this down.
Someone changed my life. It happened and I didn't even see it coming.
I think I changed their life too. I hope.
Now what?
I don't even know what to do, or how to react.
Am I just yearning for something different?
Was it fate?
Or was it just fun?
Sometimes, I don't know what to do, or which path to take now.
I'll never be the same again.

On the second subject, isn't it crazy how a song can remind you of those things that shaped or changed your life.
Some songs make me realize my dreams too.
I need to act on them and make my dreams a reality.
So much to do, and so many decisions to make.
Where do I start?

Chicago

So I'm back from Chicago, and wow, what an experience I had!

I was doing two weeks of volunteer work for OneSight with a bunch of other people from my company. It was so great to get out of my normal work environment and meet so many great people from all over North America.

I had so much fun that I didn't want to come hom even though it was 20 degrees colder there than here in my hometown. We all know how much I hate cold weather too!

This song makes me really think about where I am and what I'm doing and what Chicago Clinic taught me. Take a listen...



Our clininc helped over 3400 kids receeve the gift of sight in Chicago Public Schools. I met so many amazing people that really showed me and helped me realize how big the world is and that Virginia is only a fraction of life and what it could be.

I got to see so much more than just kids those two weeks when I was in Chicago. I got to experience the parks, the Chicago Deep Dish pizza, the people, the nightlife, the Magnificant Mile and so much more...

I can't wait to go back this summer on a road trip with Tabyta to see it all again and more!
