Butterflies Taking Flight

While Jen and I were spending time in the Shutter Suite at BlogHer09 this past weekend, Jen Skyped with our family members in Rwanda to finalize plans for our visit to their homes later this week. I could tell you that it was emotional experience for me to hear the sweetness in their voices, to hear them say my name for the first time, and to feel the warm connection between Jen and her friends... but it's difficult to put in words. All I could do was cry.

Wishing you both much success on your journey and safe travel along the way.

Please tell at least one person you meet that Elizabeth Harper (formerly of America now transplanted to England) said, "Thank you, for sharing their story with you and through you.. with us."
