My name is Justine. I am joining the Care Australia 'I am powerful' cycle challenge in Vietnam in February and March 2011. 2010 has been a busy year, which is partly the reason I am taking the trip and partly the reason for the name of this blog. I need to take some time out to smell the roses and to be calm.

We made it!
Thanks to all my generous family, friends, and complete strangers, we have collectively raised over $3,000 all of which will directly benefit CARE Australia's projects in Vietnam. The tour group together has raised more than $25,000.
I am overwhelmed and humbled by your support.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I fly out tomorrow at 6.00 am! I can't believe that the day has finally arrived. When I booked this trip I was full of bravado. Now I feel like the most selfish mother and partner in the world. And, as my very sensible friend Bronwyn pointed out, I am unlikely to have a life-changing experience. However, I hope I will go someway to finding me and who I want to be in this world.

Worst case scenario: you may or may not find yourself, but you will be able to do a bit of shopping! I believe that retail therapy is a partial key to the world of self enlightenment. xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteBummer! I have tried to donate twice but they won't accept my French address even though I select the right country. I know I'm a bit late but everything counts right??? Damn - you can sort it out when you get back :-)
