Our cluster gathered this month in my home to really get to know each other better and talk about ourselves and this magical exchange experience.\u00a0 We began with ice breakers…it IS hard to pass an orange with no hands; moved on to crafting St Patty’s Day necklaces for the host kids (and ourselves!); did a scavenger hunt of “find a person who…”; shared our green and rainbowed international dishes; and ended hearing about each other’s wishes for their year in the U.S.\u00a0 These young women have traveled far (from France, Mexico, South Africa, Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Panama, Colombia, Italy, Sweden and Spain) to travel so deeply within themselves.\u00a0 I’m blessed to be a part of their journey.\"photo-45\"<\/a>\"photo-47\"<\/a>\"photo-46\"<\/a>\"photo-48\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
