Labor of Love

                             Namaste Y'all !

    

                            Meet Aidan! 

                Aidan is Great!

        I met Aidan around this time last year in Hawaii.  We found we had a mutual love and respect for Nepal. There was an idea that was birthed to travel to Nepal with a little     project in mind.  

    Aidan landed in Nepal just a few short weeks ago and has been hitting it hard ever since.  

      

                                                     There are 2 homes in the slum area that        were in pretty bad condition.  When Aidan left Hawaii he went home, worked hit butt off and raised  enough money, through the help of his friends and family, to help these 2 families start over.  

 

    You know I've never really gave much thought to what a "home" really means.  Even with all the ups and downs life has thrown at me, it's still been pretty good.  

    The conditions here put things in perspective !  

The project is far from over but in just 17 days it went from demo to rebuild.  Hours of running wheelbarrows of mud, sand, brick, gravel.  Raising the foundation. Cutting, welding, packing. Literal blood sweat and tears.  When it comes to labor of love...... It's worth it.  

Finished project post and in-between photos in the works !! 

Stay tuned

                                                           Peace & Love 

            

        

     The "Journey" 

        { An act of traveling, by land, sea, air or simply a process of change!}

      

            

        Over the last 6 months there has been a lot of growth on this journey, to say it's all been easy would only be a half truth.  But honestly for me there is not much growth when things are easy.  We learn who we truly are in difficult times.  The Quote " Silence reveals what Distractions cover up", was shared with me months back.   You ever felt something but couldn't quite explain it or put it in words ?  Well that's where it hit. 

 

      Learning the importance of that stillness, that quiet contemplation, the "scary place", uncomfortable even.  It was there where self-awareness was gained, that deeper insight.  The problem is i forget what it took to get there.  Life lessons are hard but not impossible, you always come out stronger !

        I landed in Kathmandu, Nepal 5 days ago so my sleep schedule is a little off.  But instead of fighting it I went with the flow.  In the city it's non stop noise ALL DAY !  People working,  animals complaining,  Shops chattering, All types of vehicles making noise.   

        They use their horns like a chaotic way of communication,    Then....... SILENCE.  Like the whole city goes to sleep.  Nothing but you and your thoughts.  Where are you with your thoughts today ?   What direction do they naturally flow ?  Be still and know !

      

        Who knows, maybe it's the time change or sleep schedules off either way it's me,  Here I am.  I look forward to my time here and will share it with ya'll as it goes.  

Until then.....Think about it !

                Special thanks to all who have checked in on me.  Life's a Journey and the amount of friends and family I've made along the way has been unimaginable and undeserved.   Wish ya knew how much ya'll mean to me.     

 

                                                                     Peace & Love  <><
