Life Dreams

The past few years my life has been consumed with school work, keeping me from pursuing many things (including blogging faithfully). School, however, has not stopped me from dreaming.

On Monday I went to see a friend, Koji, play at a local venue. Not only did he share his musical talent, but he also shared his passion for fighting against child soldiering and putting an end to the LRA's oppression of parts of Uganda (for more information, click here). Afterwards he provided the information and supplies needed to write letters to Congressmen to ensure that the US government would take action on this very important issue.

He's doing something.

I went home inspired and wishing that I could pursue some things that I've been passionate about for years now. Then it hit me - in three weeks my schedule would instantly become less congested! Since I'll be completing my last semester of classes (insert YAY here), I could actually begin to put some of my dreams into action!

Since these ideas have only been in my head until now, I decided to make a list! One of the things on this list is going to start this summer... so stay tuned!

Life dreams:
-Learn to play an instrument
-Commit myself to mentor and be mentored
-Open up a coffee shop/live music venue that's a safe environment for local teenagers
-Meet and hang out with a penguin (the animal, not the hockey team)
-Start a movement/campaign for modesty
-Continued small group involvement
-Start dancing again, and for the right reasons
-Visit Greece
-Go on a medical mission trip
-Go on a mission trip with Scott
-Provide free (pharmacy) medical care to uninsured and homeless patients, as a PharmD
-Have my husband get his scuba certification
-Work on speaking less and listening more
-Above all, continued examination of my heart and complete surrender and commitment to follow my Savior

I'll keep adding more goals as I think of them. What are some of your life goals?
