Hello friends and family,
Although far away, I hope you all have a beautiful Thanksgiving. Living here has really made me realize what I'm thankful for. You guys have shown so much support even though I am nearly 2,000 miles away. For that, thank you.. I am thankful for all of you. I have never been happier or felt more fulfilled in my life.
Growing up, I was never sure if I'd find a job that made me really happy, one that I was proud of and excited about.. I am so fortunate and blessed because I am doing work that is above and beyond my hopes and dreams. The staff here are a second family to me and we share the same passions. Seeing the poverty and lifestyle of some Hondurans will change you thoughts on what happiness and wealth is. I've seen families with nothing feel content. I've seen clean running water change a life. What makes you whole? What makes you content?
Today is a day of appreciating the simple things and appreciating family. I appreciate mine.
On a special note, in less than 20 hours we've raised more than enough money for Emerita, the woman from my last blog post!! We hope to post about her follow-up so you all can see how her life has changed. :)
Again, thank you. Now, go eat some turkey!!!
LOVE and THANKS,
Hollie
Happy Thanksgiving, sweet girl! I am so, so proud of the kind, generous, strong, thoughtful, and fun person you are.
