{Day 105}

Had such a great time getting to talk with the students at IPS yesterday.  Even though I got a few butterflies dare I say that I had fun with public speaking??  Yes because I just got to share my heart with some wonderful people.  Talking about the project solidified the fact that I am still processing this whole journey.  Part of me feels like the journey is over because I am not wearing the dress anymore but then on the other hand I still feel very much in the middle of it.  So I guess that one chapter just spilled over into the next…  🙂  And just like I had no idea how much money I would end up raising in 100 days the dilemma has switched (needs to keep me on my toes and all!).  Instead of not knowing the amount that would be donated but having a time frame I now have no time frame (although the sooner the better…I’d prefer to raise the goal amount before I’m 30 😉 ) yet know the amount that needs to come in.  Funny what time does to you.  Before the project started I said that I would just stop after I was done wearing the dress…so much for that!  Here’s to looking forward to this chapter in which I can’t skip ahead. 🙂  As exciting as the last chapter was this one might just end up a bit crazier!  Hope you are having a great weekend!

    Hey, Elaini! Can you update us sometime about what your doctor said was the possibility of you being able to go to India at some point? 🙂

    Hey! I’m proud to say I was one of those IPS kids. 🙂 I’d been following your blog and just soaking all your outfits up for quite some time before I went to IPS. I was, I think, so stunned at seeing you in real life that I got shy and didn’t come out and say it, but I love what you are doing! I’ve always had a dream to adopt some orphans but I’m only 17 so I never really thought there was anything I could do right now. I guess I was wrong. 🙂 You are so inspiring. Keep up the good work! I’ll be praying for you.
