**woops, computer problems = lack of blogging!**
Hi honeys!
Normally, the events of a week or two would not be very exciting; however, the past few weeks have been filled with pretty exciting opportunities, many changes, and some last-minute decisions ("Really Micki? That is so out of character though!")...I know. I know.
Andrew is off to Italy tomorrow! As always, it is bitter-sweet. Very excited for this opportunity for him and so, sooo proud of him. He always works hard to get where he is going and I know Italy will be a fantastic journey for our boy Andy =)
The next few weeks will pass quickly enough for me as school finishes in three weeks and then final exams will take me through to mid-December until I make the journey home again (just in time for sugar cookies, ginger bread, my mom's spiced wine, and the traditional Scottish Christmas cake I am determined to make this year *help!*)!
My other update is about an opportunity that I have stumbled upon - I have applied to be a team member with the Global Youth Network on a social justice trip that will take me to Northern Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and Western BC to live on First Nation reserves to better comprehend the social issues such communities face. In observing these situations I know I will be greatly affected and hope that it will provide me a better understanding for the problems that are present here, in Canada. While the GYN mainly targets 3rd world countries, I applied for the Canada trip as I have felt strongly that while international aid is important, we also need to focus on self-healing ( as I might put it if Canada were a person).
Good news came yesterday that I was selected for this team. It is going to be a lot of work, but good work!
I'm hopeful that these new changes will be directing me toward a more clear future - as I struggle at the mo to find myself in my future.
I know nobody ever knows exactly what their future will be....but I often feel many have a better sense of it than I do. It's been challenging for me to envision what my future looks like lately so I have designed an experiment: The next few blogs I am going to be writing about things that are important to me, things that I want my future to be comprised of! Perhaps from this, it will become more clear where I should be and what I should be working towards....and perhaps not, but at least I will have tried!
Your thoughts, wisdoms, and good vibes are always welcome. I hope you're all well =)
Lots of love xxx
P.S. In other news, tomorrow I am helping the Bee Farm on the Guelph Campus can their honey!!! A dream come true....mmmmm can't wait for some amazing local honey! <3
