the other side of the world!

YEA:)

Smiles all around! Heather, my long lost humble friend who is living her life in the heart of Korea sent out a mass email yesturday to everyone back home. I cried...tears of joy of course. She is teaching ESL over there, and has been since September. I love her to bits and miss her lots! Heather, if your reading this... I wrote you the bestest email the other day, then the computer froze to my dismay. Just so you know. I will try again. I'm so glad that she is doing well, and that she is a proud new aunt to Finnigan Garrett Ohrt! Amazing name huh.. I want a nephew named Finnigan. Oh well...

On another note, I am very very sore! Kathleen and I went jogging up near the bruce trail...eeeeeee... not sure if I want to continue. I think I will stick to swimming as a workout. Speaking of Kathleen, I watched You've Got Mail yesturday with a cup of tea. I love that movie. I love Meg Ryan... love stories...I must watch Sleepless in Seatle soon!...went off topic.... back to being sore...On Saturday, I went mountian biking with Becca on her many acres of property. I've decided I like going downhill the best!

Still haven't heard from Sheridan, but I'm suddenly peaceful about the situation. Been talking wth a few people who are going...some seem like pretty great roomate possiblities. I'm trusting God in this.

Ohhhh sappy story. Kt's friend Laura and her boyfriend Matt, were backpacking in South America; after Laura was working in Bolivia with special needs Kids.While In Peru, Matt proposed! So awsome! And with special handmade wooden rings! I am so happy for them. They are the sweetest couple. Kt has the coolest friends who I have the pleasure of meeting.

Thats all the updates for now.

cheers :)

once apon a time

once apon a time in a dream i saw love and the sun

My love hasn't grown cold

You shake your head
What is so hard to believe?
When you are in your bed
I sing over you the sweetest things
Because oh, my love, it does not tire
I'm awake when the moon is full
And I know the times when you feel lost
And you just arn't sure
Lo and behold
My love hasn't grown cold
For you
You could steal away in the middle of the night
And hide in the light of day
While you cloak yourself in the darkest lies
But oh, my love, it swims in the deepest oceans of fear
And as soon as you lower your head
I am here
If only you could see how heaven stills when you speak
I know all your days
And I have wrapped you in mystery
And oh, my love for you is as wide as the galaxies
Just hold out your hand and close your eyes
And come be with me ...

ideas

Been thinking about how I can blend my two passions of performing arts and humanitarian work together, and came up with a really neat idea. I'm thinking of starting a development program for youth in the middle east, where drama, music, and dance are used to help in the healing process of kids affected by war. As well as life skills training for the women, and raising awarness of their worth in society and that they are capable of great things. It is something that had been on my heart for a long time, and I have some support from friends who are interested in getting involved. Of course, I must begin with an education. I'm going to Sheridan in the fall for a one year performing arts intensive program, and then next year, I will be going to University(probably Guelph), to do a double major in Theatre and International Development. I hope this will get the ball rolling in this exciting and crazy dream..... anyone with ideas or who wants to give me imput on this..please do : )
