Peace, Love and Guatemala

Even though this post is totally unrelated to running, I hope you will continue reading.

My sister Lindsey is one of the most incredible human beings to ever live! I know, I know, I’m a little biased – she is my sister – but after reading this, I think you will agree.

One week ago, Lindsey left everything – her cool job (working in Advertising/Public Relations for a Publishing Company), her cool lifestyle (living in Downtown Orlando), her cool clothes (she is a lover of 4” platform heels) and her cool family (again, a little biased)! She left everything because she felt called to do something better, something life-changing. Lindsey moved to Guatemala one week ago – she will be teaching English to the orphans of Antigua and hopes to change lives, including her own.

Lindsey started a blog to document her year-long journey in Guatemala. Less than one week into her new life, she has explored Guatemala City, Antigua and hiked a volcano.

If you are interested, you can read and follow her adventures at: Peace, Love and Guatemala!



Lindsey – if you can read this from Guatemala – I love you and I miss you!!!

  16. Very inspirational post…I just wanted to comment on the very first lines of this blog, where you say it's not running related 🙂 For what it's worth, I think that means a lot more to me to read about someone's PR on a race or training challenges when I know a little bit about what makes them tick. You can only read so many equipment reviews and race reviews before you seriously want to gag sometimes, and that's one thing I like about your blog; It's unique and personal. Keep up the good work, and happy running, always 🙂

  17. I have so much respect for people with hearts like that. Good luck to her!
