I have made a commitment this year to keep up with both my client and personal blogs. I have past travel blogs that I would love to get up over the next months, so am looking forward to that as well.

I truly am a travel addict. The interesting part is that I had never flown on an airplane until I was in my mid-twenties, and had never traveled outside of the country until 2003!

I graduated from nursing school in 1999 and shortly after saw a story that Oprah Winfrey did on the women of Africa suffering from vaginal fistulas and their need for care. As a labor and delivery nurse, this pulled right at my heart strings and it was the first time I heard the call to Africa, and it was so strong. My children were young and my husband was not on board for a mission trip there at all. I kept it on my horizons and dreamed that the right time would come and that I would know it when it presented itself.
