Life Without A Map: January 2013
http://kristinbrodie.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Life Without A Map. It may be messy but it is most definitely beautiful. Sunday, January 20, 2013. An answer to your questions. How long will you be there? Where are you going?

What is Peace Corps? Will you still teach when you return? What are you going to eat? Will you learn to fight lions? Where am I going?

I would be grocery shopping at Kroger on College Station Road and the expiration date on the milk would be that same date as one of my finals. Suddenly and sharply the end would feel real, near. What was once on the horizon was now staring me directly in the face. A Not S...
