The first two weeks were ROUGH, I will definitely admit to that!!!
I am so happy to report that my soul & spirit has been mended! I feel so much better emotionally. It is true that time heals all wounds. I have had so many opportunities to share what good was done in Haiti, in this sharing of the good (not the sadness) I have found meaning and purpose & understanding. I've found satisfaction in knowing that I did all that I could and gave the best nursing care, that I was skilled to do. I know I touched many lives. God has smiled at me.
So what have been doing otherwise you ask? I have channeled and re focused a lot of that energy back into my marathon training. Yes I said marathon! I'm running my 3rd 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles) in less than 30 days. I put a portion of my training on hold for Haiti. Now I am trying to out it all back together again. It's true what they say, "once you learn how to ride a bike, or ski, or run long distance, it all just comes back to you." I am so looking forward to crossing that finish line, again. It's a feeling like non other. You must try it one day....soon:) So if you want to support me, feel free to visit my site to offer your financial blessings to help find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma & Hodgkin s & non Hodgkin s lymphoma.

A sure sign that I have recovered is that I am looking into missions that offer specific HIV/AIDS care. I'm thinking I'll embark on another mission trip sometime in the summer/fall of 2012. I feel like I left part of my heart in Haiti. Specifically with those in dire need, whom don't have access to resources that we have here in America. I know I'll go back. Soon, sooner than later, I know.
