Transitions and Changes

Once again, I find myself in the midst of major transitions.  Thursday will be my last day at Covenant House New Orleans.    I am grateful for the experiences I gained, the people I met, the opportunity to have worked at a place that has a mission which resonate with my own, and for all that I learned in my two years there.   As I have enjoyed my work there and will miss many residents and coworkers, it is sad to leave.  At the same time, I am really looking forward to visiting with my Marianite Sisters in New Jersey, going on retreat, visiting with my Holy Redeemer sisters and friends, and then spending time with my family.  This year for the first time in several, my twin sister and I will be celebrating our birthday together!  After vacation, I will return to New Orleans to prepare for the transfer of my vows in mid September.  In late September I will leave for Haiti.  I have so much to look forward to!      

I have made a few changes to this blog.  Often people ask me if I need anything for Haiti, so i decided to post a wish list.  These are not things that I really need, but rather items that I would like to obtain which will likely be useful when doing play therapy with the children at the orphanage in Haiti, and they can fit in a suitcase.  There is also now an easy way to sign up to receive this blog in your email when it is updated.  If you have any suggestions for how to improve this blog please let me know. Thank you!      

Many Blessings!
