So I joined this trend where the point is to pick 6 articles of clothing to wear for 30 days (not counting work clothes, pajamas, underwear etc.) There's not really one overarching point but some of the aspirations are to learn to accessorize better, fight back against consumerism, stop spending so much on clothes, identify with people who have less than you do etc. I did it because it was a challenge and I like challenges. (see side bar for my 6 choices)I will be posting a picture of me in my different outfits every day (or every day that I wear something other than scrubs and PJs...which is at least 3 days a week). Hopefully I can find something every day to be in the picture with me to represent my day as well.
For example: today I went to Mamelodi Insiders meeting where they unveiled the new plans for our South Africa trips, hence my awesome zebra picture and the itinerary (for future Mamelodi meetings) I am holding.
I was pretty lazy today, going with merely my sweater and jeans with a scarf because I am wearing this for a whopping 4 hours between sleeping and going to work.
But I am pretty STOKED about going back to Mamelodi, my home in the other hemisphere. I can't wait for another 30+ flying hours, singing in another language, waking up to lions roaring, building relationships with exhuberant people, praising God for the beautiful mountains, devouring amazing food, laughing with my fellow Crossroads-ians, putting my life in God's hands every time we get on the roads, hugging on kids, being part of changing the world...
Who wouldn't start an 8 month countdown to something like that???
