A week from tomorrow Tom and I will be headed to Honduras for a month. We head off on a “leap of faith” in this new adventure. Last July, Tom retired from private practice and is now working part time at Brigham and Women’s nursery. This decision was made for may reasons, but primarily so that we could extend our time volunteering in Honduras.

We are filled with many emotions…excitement, curiosity and a bit of fear. Although we have traveled there for the past ten years, it has always been for a more limited time. Mostly I leave with a sense of wonder…will I have more times of “spiritual enlightment” or feelings that I am on a segment of “Survivor?”

Thankfully, we go with a deep sense of faith and a knowledge that our family, friends and church are supporting us.
