AHHHH BARUCH HASHEM! GOOD NEWS!
(jeez. no wonder i never finish the blog entries i want to write; i keep blogging other things. hehe. yay procrastination!)

nik just called me (well, she actually called me a bit earlier but i missed the call because i was outside.. called her back, left a voicemail, then she called me back. hehe) with some AWESOME news.

someone in TN had his heart spoken to about a community house in new orleans and he googled and the first hit was her blog- specifically, this entry (which, as you can see, was only posted on the 23rd!) and they got in touch and it looks like he's gonna be there too! he's got some experience with community living too (10-16 people in his house), so it'd be AWESOME to have that sort of wisdom and experience in the House. she was invited to the place he's at now and is gonna get some info on starting, maintaining, etc.

it's just really great affirmation and a blessing! it's so beautiful to see it coming together. this has been on her heart for a while and (as my mom mentioned to me when i said i was called to NOLA and will be moving there, and eem yirtze Hashem involved with/living in this community) something that i was "born to do" (it's pretty weird to hear your own mom say that about something that most of the world would consider crazy and a dead-end, but G-d is good. if the world doesn't think you're crazy, you're probably not radical enough- never hold back!) so this is just turning into this huge.. Nexus of Blessing.

we are a karass, and we are discovering our wampeter.
busy, busy, busy... [1]


words cannot convey the beauty of this. i feel as if i'm standing in the hatch to a space shuttle, about to step onto the moon. there is wonderment, awe, excitement, a feeling of cohesiveness... all so new and fresh and beautiful.

it's also a bit scary, but who needs the wrang-wrang's foma?


walk in peace, brothers, sisters, and friends alike.
