I have come to learn that my story has become theirs and that our common humanity has connected. - Ishmael Beah, Author "A Long Way Gone" When you tell a story, you give it out to the world and whoever listens becomes a part of that story; the story becomes theirs in how they relate to it, use it and find whatever meaning they can in the telling. -Mende saying (Sierra Leone)

Oh bliss!
Today, for the first time since I left for Tanzania (late September), I took a hot shower. Oh bliss! I was convinced that hot showers were overrated and something I didn't really miss. I was wrong. I realized (in my nice hot shower today) that taking a cold shower was kind of like doing the hokey pokey- stick your hand in quickly pull your hand out, realize you still have soap on it so put your hand back in and shake it all about.

Hot showers are never under-rated. Since I got back from Peace Corps, I make it a point to take a LONG, HOT, shower each and every day.
