Resting from Social Media

I haven't been on Facebook in a while.

It's not you.

But it probably is your friends.

Mountain, Deferred

May 6, I ran the Colorado Marathon. That night, I tried to get on a plane for London. After nearly five hours of delays, they cancelled my flight, and I tried again the next day, with more delays, and another rescheduled flight.

The In Between Spaces

I am starting my second week here in Asia. I will be here in the Philippines through tomorrow night, and then head on to our fundraising office in Korea.

I'm not talking about what my employer does or doesn't do, and I'm not commenting on the efficacy of our work. It's good work, and poverty is complicated, but that's my day job: this is is about how my heart is seeing my time here.
