A Message For You All...
By Anne Klimpke
Coming together, being apart and attempting to return to a place where we found peace, both outside and within, have all encompassed a journey known to us as exchange. We travel far in order to question what we think we know. We soon learnt that changes in location do not alter or change the battles we must fight to know and improve ourselves. If not fought here and now those same battles confront us where ever we may be. Those things that cause us despair breed avoidance, but dealing with them promises opportunity. Being truly honest grants us the deepest satisfaction, because with honesty and acceptance comes understanding.

Quotable Quotes
"I woke up this morning around three thirty a.m. to earth shaking ear-shattering thunder. I had never heard such voluminous thunder in my life and was not sure what was happening. Our beach house is right on the water and I wasn't sure if it was a hurricane or something else. I woke up again around 10:00 a.m. to the sound of my parents making breakfast, and I smelled a distant coffee bean being brewed in the distance. What sounded like rain was actually my sister taking a shower... Then I lay there for a few minutes and realized that I wasn't at my home, it wasn't my parents making breakfast, and it wasn't my sister who was taking a shower. I was in South America, 7,000 miles away from home."Tanner Orion
