My Life is a Message......

Sep 13 | My Life is a Message......

This summer, I had the great opportunity to spend 12 days in Africa with the Texas A&M Study Abroad program. 

While there, I blogged my experience and want to share them with you.  This was inspired while Touring Constitution Hill, which is where both Mandella and Ghandi were incarcerated. 

Follow up:

My life is my message" - Ghandi
My grandmother would read the obituaries and cartoons everyday in the paper.
I would ask her why and she would say to laugh and to make sure she was alive.
What if today you wrote your obituary?
What would it say?
What would people say about you?
Would it be about things you have collected?
Or thing you have said?
It is said nothing leaves this earth with you.
What is your message?
What have you done to leave and imprint on the world?
What one starfish have you thrown back into the sea?
What kind word have you spoken?
What love have you given away?
What have you sacrificed for others?
Your life is your message.
What are you saying?
