Only 2 weeks . . .

It's difficult to believe that it is only two weeks until I arrive at the Dream Centre, in Pinetown, South Africa.

My decision to volunteer with Be More, and specifically The Dream Centre, was made several months ago . . . during the plannning stages of my September 2007 year-long journey.
Thanks to Pauline at Be More for all her guidance and assistance throughout the process of volunteering and getting to the Dream Centre. Also, thanks to my Be Buddy, Marjan, for her informative e-mails and answers to ALL my questions :-) ! Hopefully I can some day provide that same assistance to another future volunteer.
August was an extremely busy month for me, preparing to leave work and home for a year, and handling final travel preparations. It began with a Dream Centre fundraising Garage Sale. On what proved to be the hottest day of the year, it provided a means to recycle some treasures, spread the word about The Dream Centre through my posters and handouts, and of course raise money in the process. I was touched by "the kindness of strangers", some of whom found nothing they needed to buy, but graciously made contributions anyway! Co-workers also helped my fundraising through the donation of raffle items and purchase of raffle tickets. Also, special thanks to my coffee pals who jumped in with their many forms of support!

On September 2, 2007 I began my year of travel . . . a year to more fully explore and experience the world. My first month was spent as a Karma Yogi at Hollyhock Centre in British Columbia, Canada. Generosity was also present at Hollyhock, via other Karma Yogis and friends (new and old) who expressed their interest and offered their support! Once settled at the Dream Centre, I will definitely be contacting those who encouraged me to be in touch.

Well, that's my journey so far, the journey that is leading me to The Dream Centre. I look forward to arriving, contributing, learning, and experiencing all that it has offer. I will endeavor to arrive without expectations, but instead with gratitude for the opportunity . . . to contribute . . . to be more . . .
