Smile Friday: Trying to fill my head with warm, sunny thoughts on this chilly February morning.

[As I sit here in my chilly apartment, staring at the gray rain outside, I’m looking at pictures of Senegal and reminiscing about the cool ocean and hot sand on my feet. Missing the weather there, but that’s about it.]

I met this woman yesterday. She was jolly. She laughed at everything. She smiled big tooth-smiles. She shook our hands again and again. She shouted “jerejef”, “thank you” in Wolof, until we could no longer see her waving at our truck.
I think we all need a little more jolly in our lives. It’s not just reserved for Santa Claus, you know.

Why hello, Atlantic Ocean! It was a pleasure to frolic in your waves this glorious afternoon. Thank you for making my time in Senegal thus far nothing short of heavenly!
This week I'm in Connecticut but I don’t stay put for very long. I’m a nonprofit finance professional extraordinaire, and I love to climb mountains and travel to places no one else wants to go.
