Mentally I'm pretty tired right now, I'm working my butt off to make this Kenya thing really be the best it can be, my plans are growing daily, due to the support so many people have shown me, I'm really beginning to believe I will make it happen.. For a while there, it felt like I was riding a roller coaster, the emotions were up and down quicker than you know what... I was full of self doubt.
I've never been overly confidant but I've always been the emotionally stable one in a situation, so it was this sudden emotional instability that really came as a shock to the system. I've always been the one that is happy, the one that is pretty much unfazed by life, but for a while there I felt like I was all over the place. Sure there was some stuff going on, but I can deal with "stuff" and the fact I wasn't sleeping didn't help either. Lack of sleep caused by the pain of a displaced rib and a head full of "stuff"made for a pretty messy couple of months... but realising today that Jacq is back, was like a lightbulb going on, it felt great.
People are still coming forth with the offer of goods, and services for the Silent Auction. Only today a colleague of mine told me, her friend who is a lawyer would like to donate the preparation of a Will to the auction, how generous is that? So maybe the person who bids on the Sky Walk, might like to make a double purchase, and get the Will and feel secure in the knowledge that all their bases are covered. Yet another person came to see me yesterday with a generous offer, if that one comes to fruition I will share and post some photos soon.
Oh one more thing!!! Realising a 25 year African dream seems like a brilliant first adventure, but I have a sneaking suspicion it's not going to be my last. I sincerly hope 43 years and 1 day isn't too late to realise you want more than one adventure.
Asante
Jacq
