Well it's Monday and I'm feeling a bit contemplative today. Not sure if it's the fact that I went off Prozac cold turkey a couple weeks ago and I'm not quite right just yet or if it's some sort of hormonal thing...
Anyway, after a lovely Mother's Day and reading a message in my journal I was reminded of a gift I've always wanted to give my children. So this week I actually did the deed and I started an Africa fund for me and the kiddies.
Growing up my mother and I lived all over and I spent a couple years in Asia as a teen. This experience broadened my horizons and I was able to discover a lot about myself, my dreams, and my character. My dream now is to take my kids to Africa for 9 months just the three of us. I'm thinking that when my son is 16 and my daughter 11 it will be the ideal time and that we will have an amazing time.
I just hope that I'll be able to save enough in nine years while also contributing to both of their college funds.
