You are always welcome here." I am grateful for the friends who keep me in good company, providing smiles and laughter. And I am grateful to my neighbors who welcome me with hugs and make sure I know I will be missed when I leave. "When will you come back to see us, Di?"
As I reflect on my journey, I know that my adventure did not begin when I stepped off the plane. My journey started when I was just like you. It started in the library reading stories about far off places. It started in the living room paging though photos in old National Geographic magazines. And it started in the garden, with a curiosity about how the tomatoes and cucumbers could grow so big out of something as simple as the soil. My journey to India is a culmination of following those curiosities and desiring to create stories of my own. I am glad that I got to share a small piece of that story with you!
