I found my round tuit! Now I can finally start the blog that I've been thinking about for well over a year. I plan to share some of the steps of my journey to this place and also to post as I continue in my forays.
My interest in Afghanistan began two years ago in July 2008 while listening to Dan Batchelder talk about Morningstar Development's work building community centers in various areas in Afghanistan. Something in me said "This would be something worth doing." As I was saddled with a huge house, it didn't seem as though going to Afghanistan was something I could look forward to for a long time. But in February 2009, I was struck by the realization that if I "lost" the house, I could be free to go. It was necessary to let go of that American Dream of home ownership in order to realize the next dream. And now, I have a definite date of August 17, 2010, when I will no longer be a home owner! Next stop - Afghanistan!
