Actions speak louder than words

As my last days in SA come to an end I have been thinking about what I will do when I come home. During circle Nate made a comment about how the majority of the people on this trip will not change. In their minds and hearts, they will have changed, but their actions will stay the same. This scares me because in my mind and heart, I know that I have changed but will my actions show differently. Will I come home and go right back to my same ways? Will I get a case of amnesia and forget? I can say that I will not go back the same way I came, and I will not forget, but this means nothing. Actions speak louder than words. Only time will tell if I live up to what I say. One thing I do know is that I will never stop trying to be a person of my word.

Hi Jessica!
I didn't realize you were taking this trip - sounds so amazing! And I know you will "never stop trying to be a person of my word." You are truly an incredibly sensitive, articulate, and gifted person!!

safe return travels - can't wait to hear more!
Peggy
