Commercial interlude (of sorts)....

A little additional blurb about the how and why of my landing in Hungary....

Habitat construction has been a volunteer addiction since July 4 2004, when I first stepped onto a work site in Kitsap County, WA (where I live when not wandering the world) I've volunteered an average of 10-20 hours per week ever since except when out of country working, and have learned enough to earn the title "Builder Babe" (not to be confused with Builder Bob ). I've supervised builds at home, done project management and supervision in Dublin, and will be doing a variety of things here in Szarvas as I work with the local staff and incoming Global Village teams from the US and other parts of the world that come here in 1-2 week increments to build. Very cool.

I have to say that it's been an interesting/challenging and thoroughly rewarding ride over the past three years since I stepped away from pharmacy without looking back. No regrets. It's a faith based life, and while not easy, it's amazing what has come my way thus far in the way of opportunities, people met, places to go, etc. Living my dream life in the moment, in the sense that through the Habitat positions I've been blessed to fill, I have begun to see the world and give back as I go, learning new cultures, rhythms, and ways, and hopefully representing the US in a way far more constructive than we are often viewed. Very, very cool.
