Meeting of the Minds

once upon a time, most favorite orphanage comrade and i used to talk (almost obsessively) about how we were going to change the world one child at a time. it's bittersweet to note that our own lives have grown quite a bit from the time we spent nearly every weekend at casa hogar sion with our "other" family. we added husbands, homes, new careers, pets and children of our own (or hannah's own at least) to the fray. as you can imagine, we now have to schedule our visits and rarely do we get enough time to gossip let alone masterfully plan for the future.

today was different though.

we sat down and brainstormed like the old days. together (and with the help of the rest of foef) we will go back to the drawing board and revamp the friends of el faro child sponsorship program. it felt so good to freely share ideas, challenge each other and build on the other's enthusiasm.

i love this woman and i love our shared passion for this cause. it makes our relationship so special and so unlike any other in my life.
