Goodbye Chiang Mai!

Well, my final weeks in Chiang Mai are over and I am feeling the loss of a special time in my life. It is truly a gift to have grown to appreciate life in Thailand and I long to return someday. My joy in leaving is magnified by the many times I felt like quitting and going home only to be reassured of my purpose of being here.
I spent my last week hiking, visiting people and places I love and trying to get ris of lots of things before beginning the next leg of my journey.

Here are some of the lovely women who supported me and helped me grow every Wednesday morning.


Friends Melissa, Leah, Anna and Kendyll singing Karaoke in a local mall. Hilarious!


Hiking with Melissa and Jit on Doi Suthep.


Some of the kids at the new Children's Home!

My last Sunday with the children. We had a party and I couldn't help shedding tears as they said goodbyes and thank yous.
