I AM HER

I am her

I am a woman of the world

I am independent at times

And longing for guidance at others

I straddle two worlds

And sometimes get lost

Where exactly do I belong?

One village today, another tomorrow

I give my attention, and I listen…

To Mamas holding their sick children

To young girls craving an education

What can I do? How do I make a difference?

Sometimes it is too overwhelming…

But, when the storm passes

And the clouds part

I look back, and I smile at what I see

Classrooms, Medical Clinics, Artisan Studios, Rescue Centers

Things that wouldn’t exist if not for me

The weight is lifted

I breathe deeply

I can move forward

I have lived the lives of a thousand people

My experiences, my memories vivid and alive

A storyteller through and through

My wanderlust is strong

My desire intense

My loyalty like no other

I live, breath, and dream my passion

If you are looking for me…

Meet me under the baobob tree in Kenya

Haggle with me in the markets of India

Sail away with me in Zanzibar

Sip cappuccinos with me in Guatemala

Hold me close, never let go, and your journey with me will be epic

I am her. I am @kellsabroad

Join me on my next adventure, get out into the world, and make a positive impact with @expthevillage
