Fav of the Week- Online Auction
Hey Everyone,
Some of my teacher friends are traveling to Sierra Leone, Africa this summer to continue teacher training that they started last year. It's an amazing work! They have put together an online auction that will start tomorrow and continue through Sunday (May 7-10). Take a look, there are gift cards, African batiks, jewelry, etc.
The site is teachersinsierraleone.blogspot.com.
Thanks!

New Beginnings...
It's official!!!! I am now Dr. Susan Hunt, DPT. (oh wait I haven't yet received my diploma-should be soon) I will be adding PT, DPT to my name after passing the board (cross you fingers and pray) at the end of this month or beginning of June. I sincerely feel a weight lifted from my shoulders and lots of hope. My life has been defined by syllabii, class time, and assignments for the past 20 years. Although I am very blessed to have had the opportunity to pursue an education, I am very excited about choosing my evening and weekend activities!
Things I want to be intentional about with the my free time:
1) intentionality with friends- invite people over to dinner, have coffee chats, running buddies, just spend more time with established friends and get to know new friends better.
2) more Bible study... I've barely had the energy to read all of the school work assignments over the past 3 years, which has turned my devotional into more of a prayer/journaling time rather than true Bible study.
3) Exercise- you would think that in 3 years of learning about the benefits of exercise that I would be dang good at it- nope! I want to get into a really good habit of being healthy in this way.
4) Reading professional journal articles THAT I AM INTERESTED IN. No more reading about the best diagnostic test for lateral epicondylitis. I can read all the articles on stroke management and pediatric outcome measures that I want!
5) Writing notes- I used to write notes and letters to people all the time. It was fun to encourage and communicate with people in this way.
6) Volunteering with my physical therapy skills- although I could not do this before school because I had no physical therapy skills, I hope to be able to volunteer my skills (perhaps at a place like the Inner City Health Clinic) to underserved populations.
7) a thousand more things... uh oh... I may be busier now than I was in school!!!! Better add #8.
8) A balanced life with time for activity, meditation, and rest.

More Images of Ethiopia
Look at this beautiful country and its beautiful people. I'm not sure how to describe the diverse people and culture of Ethiopia, but maybe these images can help bring you there for a moment. The pictures are taken both in Addis Ababa the large capital city and Yetabon, a small village.

A few pictures
I'm just not motivated to write a post about Ethiopia for some reason- maybe too many things to talk about, but here are some pictures to suffice for now...
At Ethiopia Reads 5th Annual "Books and Bread" Day
Injira- The local staple food... try some at your local Ethiopian restaurant, it's quite tasty
At the Cheshire Home for Children with Polio and other disabilities- I worked here for two weeks and I love those kids!
