In a Category All Her Own

If you were counting, then you realized there is one remaining trainee…Amelia. I did not include her in the previous entry because this incredible woman is in a category all her own. She’s in her late 30’s and is a partner in a law firm that she helped start. I have never met someone as courageous as her, someone who right in the middle of a very successful career, walks away and leaves everything behind to follow her heart. She is such an example to everyone that you should never settle for anything, especially just for a feeling of security. She’s living the lesson that there is more to this life than material riches and worldly pleasures. She had what a lot of people dream about, and yet it didn’t matter nearly as much to her as helping her fellow brothers and sisters in need. She felt an internal calling to action in this broken world and she responded to God saying “Here I am. Where do you want me?”

I can’t truly do justice to her with my words. Amelia is such a special person…she is wise and enlightened, she is an example of how strong people can be, she is intelligent and creative, she is courageous, she is passionate, determined and driven, her excitement and enthusiasm is completely contagious, she is funny and lighthearted, she is beautiful both inside and out, and she has a heart of pure gold. Namibia is so lucky to have her, Group 29 is blessed to have her, and I am immensely thankful to be able to call this remarkable woman my friend. I know that she was brought into my life for a reason, and I thank the universe for the gift that is Amelia…. CRAZINESS!!!
