In 20 short days I will be departing from PDX and flying around the world to Mumbai. I can not believe this idea of an international internship has turned into a reality and I will be in India in less than a month. With finals, graduation, packing and moving in the near future I am surprisingly very calm and ready for the next chapter in my life. I have a sense of peace and confidence in what lies ahead for me. Over memorial day weekend I read a book that completely captivated my heart and spoke a sense of encouragement and positivity into my life. The book “Love Does” by Bob Goff is a heartwarming story about a man who lives his life through action instead of words.

“Living a life fully engaged and full of whimsy and the kind of things that love does is something most people plan to do, but along the way they just kind of forget. Their dreams become one of those “we’ll go there next time” deferrals. The sad thing is, for many there is no “next time” because passing on the chance to cross over is an overall attitude toward life rather than a single decision.” -Bob Goff
