Nouwen, Finding My Way Home , 135-37. -reflections March 19, 2009 at 4:30pm- I was typing my resume a few weeks ago and my little sister told me to include a full description of the jobs I've had the past years.As I did, I began to be grateful to the lost years  I had.

February 12, 2013 Update As I wrote a new journal entry,  I realized that I've started writing for Blogger this very day, 12th of February, two years ago.  An Italian missionary once told me that everything that I've learned will be put into practice in the years to come. I have been writing my journals since I was twelve and  coming online , thriving on new experiences and meeting very talented and ingenious people have helped shaped me into the creative person I am right now...
