Reflecting on this past month brings me so much joy. It would be impossible to summarize or give justice to the life that I lived for those 31 days with the Maasai people, because those 31 days have impacted me in such incredible ways.  The lifestyle that we lived in Kenya was beautiful and fulfilling in every way.  Challenging yet refreshing; exhausting yet so restful.
