Walk This Way
Faith is forward motion.
–Karen Maezen Miller
I can run miles and miles with this thought in my pocket. Thank you, Karen. There is trust in each step, in the moving forward, in not knowing, in believing the earth will hold you, the sun will rise. This is the gift of Africa to me–to see up close how people step into the future without security or guarantee, choosing to believe the best is yet to be.

Karen does it again - in four words she says what I was trying to say in a paragraph and says it so much better. I think I’d better get myself back on my cushion so that I can write that that one day!

It is brilliant to know that Africa is gifting people with similar inspirations… This is Africa to me as well. These people so full of life who keep pushing no matter what. You are so strong.

You are amazing, simply amazing. I’ve never been inspired on such a deep level as I am whenever I read anything you’ve written about Africa.
I wish I could be you for even just one day. I wish I could experience what you are experiencing - such a rich rich rich existence.
I’m in awe of you Jen.

My heart beats for Africa too. I’ve just returned from Uganda( going back in January) and discovering your blog was SUCH a delight! Thankyou!

Wow. Beautiful thoughts, images — illustrated and photographic. Have become a FAN of the LOVEBOMB crew and all you Jens are confusing me. I am just not getting to your site. Subscribe!

I found your blog a month or more ago, and have been reading back through… And just wanted to take a minute to say Thank You. I’m inspired by your photos and your stories - this simple post is an excellent example of why.
