Well, I'm finally finished packing and able to relax a little. I'm actually playing golf tomorrow morning, which will be a nice change of pace. It's pretty amazing that I'll be traveling to the country where golf originated (Scotland) in about a month.
Now that I've spent a frantic week scrambling to secure last minute plans, I look forward to a few days of focusing inward and preparing mentally before my arrival in Gatwick airport. I think this may be the most important thing I can do right now. The next post will most likely be from London. Awesome.

- I am concerned with telling stories and helping others tell their stories, especially those who have been robbed of the ability to do so. For me, they are the children of the South Bronx, the women of Eastern Congo, the survivors of the Rwandan genocide, the amazing thespians of the Mathare slums in Nairobi, Kenya. The list goes on. I have no interest in saving the world because I don't think people need to be saved, I think they need to be understood. I honestly believe that many of the world's problems stem not only from an acceptance of simple explanations, but a demand for it. As a result, millions of people have been robbed of their humanity, replaced instead with cardboard cutouts of suffering and "underdevelopment." What happens when these people get a voice? What happens when their stories are told loud and clear and laid out for everyone to hear? My goal is to find out.
