one year anniversary

it was a year ago today.

a conversation.
words.
thoughts.
emotions.
the inevitable.
it happened.

i'm not sure how to adequately reflect
on this past year.
i mean...how do you actually measure
what good reflection is or isn't.

my world for sure has been rocked
since last St. Patrick's Day.
a lot of highs and certainly
even more lows.

i definitely don't know
what this next year has instore.
my hope?
restoration. reconciliation.

orange county

i've definitely come to learn
that it is almost
impossible
to keep up with blogging
while on the road.

our tour to orange county
has been jam-packed with
all sorts of events.
from basic college screenings,
to benefit events, and to art showings
we we're pretty much all over the place.
i don't think i have mentioned pink berry...
but we found something...better.
yogurt land. frozen self-serve yogurt.
.30 an ounce.

aside from yogurt land,
we met some solid folks
through out orange county.

i'd probably have to say
at this point
the most challenging aspect
of tour
has been affirming people.
i have just recently realized
that one of my love languages
is most definitely not
words of encouragment or affirmation.
i normally always internalize my
affirmations for others,
but never realize in the moment
how essential it is to verbalize these words
to an individual.

we are now a little over 5 weeks into tour
with 7 left.
we've been in the Inland Empire
for about 5 days which i will
attempt to brief you on later.
but we are on to Vegas soon...

andrea made post orange county.
