It's Been Awhile

This is going to be a short one. I just wanted to catch up on what's been going on in the past year since I last wrote. I think my last blog was from the Lichty Center outside of Silver City, New Mexico. As I look back on the last month of Semester in the West, it's hard not to get nostalgic about the amazing people, experiences and knowledge to which I was exposed. I feel incredibly lucky and an even deeper sense of debt to have been lucky enough to participate in such an amazing program. Thanks so much to Phil, Season, Jay, and all those along the way who truly...wait for it, Westies...helped me undergo a paradigm shift.

Since then, I returned to Whitman, wrote a thesis, graduated from college, moved to CA, found my calling on the side of the High Sierra, left CA for a new experience in Seattle, WA, and have made arrangements to return to CA as soon as I can. I feel so lucky so have seen and done the things I have in the past two years, but I feel like I am now starting to lose touch with all the personal growth I experienced. I hope to use this blog as a place to reconnect myself with that growth, and perhaps learn new and equally important things about myself.
