Sending to Chile

I’ve been keeping sparse notes of these last few days. I’ve been running around getting kids to the hospital, getting meds and comforting them over a very problematic dress code policy that we are currently working on a as a community. This weekend will bring much needed breaks for me. I’m feeling very supported here. The staff knows how much goes into emotionally and physically being present and I don’t think I’ve received it much from other places that I have worked. It’s officially a week until we leave for Chile! I’m feeling. Yesterday I had to take 5 minutes just to feel. It can come to me in waves and some with more magnitude then others. I didn’t say anything…I just sat in silence as the tears started streaming down my face. I wasn’t sad though, in no way was I sad. If anything I felt powerful. This time last year I was feeling weak and detached from myself; my support was manipulated and with someone who couldn’t love me and vice versa. The hardest decisions can be our best decisions. I’ve never felt so competent in my life, like I am doing something right. I can’t wait to see what Chile does to me. Cheers,

Lauren
