One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a "canopy walk" at the Kakum National Park in Ghana, Africa. It was beautiful - and one of the most amazing things I've done in my life.

I've also seen someone pull herself through being an abandonded disabled child - she was raised with a foster family... and fought her way through college. She graduated with her BA, and is now working on earning her driver's license. She is beautiful - and is one of the most amazing people I've met in my life.
