I just logged into my Kiva to see if I had any funds that had been repaid so that I could reloan them, and I did, I had enough to do two $25 loans! Awesome feeling to know that I am being a part of something so powerful and life-altering! A feel good moment for me in the midst of continued turmoil in my work life and increasing dread at doing my school work (yet I shall persevere!).
I am reading Nick Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn's new book, Half the Sky, and it is just awesome, inspiring, motivating, and beautiful. I won't say more right now as it is, for me, almost a religious experience to read this book and I just need to absorb it all. The stories of evil and hope, successe and failures, are the real stories that should be spread, not what some narcissitic celebrity is doing on any given day. I want to ditch my work and my school work and sit and read and read, but alas, I must be responsible.
