Howdy from my chaos!

If you made it to this site, then I’ve probably mailed you a card or two by now and I truly appreciate you allowing me to connect with you in the midst of my chaotic life. The past few months have allowed me to feel more comfortable with ME. MY way of thinking, MY style of communication, MY moods, MY wants and MY needs.

My pen pal program was birthed from the idea of supporting African American students who were in professional medical programs (medical school, dental school, etc.) I don’t have money to send and I have no idea what’s going on with the material, but I wanted to do something to add some cheer to the extremely challenging journey they are on. In my first 2 months, I secured 7 pen pals! No one wrote me back, but I didn’t care. I just wanted them to know that someone was rooting for them. I started sending cards because I have 1st cousins that I barely talk to. It’s not that I don’t like them, but honestly besides being family and Instagram I don’t really know what I have in common with them. I felt so basic just sending birthday cards or calling on holidays so I wanted to do something more, even if it was just telling them regularly that I was thinking of them and rooting for them which ultimately led to me including my friends. In less than 12 months I have acquired over 103 addresses for my pen pal program! I was honestly shocked at how many people were really interested in being added to my address book! I know how we are with personal information nowadays (hence me getting a P.O. box lol), but 103 trusted me with their address, that is not something I take lightly and something I wanted to use for good. I’ve been able to share birthdays, bible scriptures and African American holidays with 100+ people

So here’s the next part of my good!

Welcome to my chaotic blog that is in someway connected. Here you will get a glimpse into how I attempt to connect my mental, spiritual and physical in the midst of my chaos. I’ve accepted that chaos is unavoidable, so we must learn how to keep our head in the meantime. Instead of me being ashamed of my chaos, I want to embrace it and share with others. Let’s laugh, cry, learn and teach together and with our heads high because the one without a story hasn’t lived.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes…” Romans 1:16 NIV

The call to adventure signifies that destiny has summoned the hero. - Joseph Campbell
