It was a year ago today that Hope arrived in the land of sunshine. It's hard to believe that a year has gone by since I set out on this adventure and started writing this blog. Through the ups and downs of it all I can honestly say I really love it here and have no regrets with my decision to move. In the next few days I plan to write a comprehensive recap of my first 12 months in a new place.
Today also marks the one year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings back in my home state. I believe that times of tragedy are also times for the human spirit to prevail. The following video is about John Odom, one of the victims of the bombings. His story became of particular interest to me as his son in law, who played a role in saving John's life, is my all time favorite MLS goalkeeper Matt Reis. What an amazing journey the past year has been for John and his family.

I've put this quote on here before and today I will share it again.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Lao-tzu
For John Odom it was literally a single step. For me it was packing myself up and heading south. Whatever that single step is for you, take it. Even if it's scary. One small step for you is one giant leap for mankind, because I believe following your dreams adds to the greater good of humanity.
Until next time...
Peace & Love,
Hope
