Globally Connected
Here I am, on a Thursday morning, sitting in my downtown Toronto apartment. My quixotic job search has been interrupted by several conversations with dear friends. When I begin to wonder whether the meandering path of my past ten years was spent in vain, these friends pop up and remind me of all the wonderful people I've met around the world. In one window, I'm chatting with my friend Oksana--who is changing the world in Darfur. Another window takes me to the world of my friend Thomas, who with his wife is making a difference in Panama as Peace Corps Volunteers. My dear, dear friend Rebecca has her shit-kickers on and is getting coffee farmers in Guatemala competitive for the global market. All these incredible people doing incredible things in far out places. What a blessing to know them all and to be able to stay in touch with them. It's worth taking a couple hours out of my day to keep in touch--and keep myself grounded.
