It's getting time to be moving on....

When I arrived in Haiti in September of 2009, I came to work at Adoration Christian School with a two year contract in hand with a possible one year extention.  I had applied for a leave of absence from the Toronto District School Board for one year and was approved, and after my first year in Haiti, they granted me another year's leave.
I am such a planner that the minute I set my foot on Haitian soil I started to think about when I would be leaving. I have a real problem living in the moment I know.  In fact I think I often miss out on life's greatest moments because I'm always looking forward, ignoring all that is around me. However, in January 2011 I had to really start getting serious about the length of my stay in Haiti, the board of ACS and the TDSB wanted to know my plans. 
After much prayerful consideration, I have decided to return back to Canada and back to the TDSB. In some ways it was an easy decision in other ways it was a hard decision. I feel that my work is almost done here at ACS.  I am currently working alongside and mentoring Alix to take over the role of school director.  He is learning quickly and each month takes on more and more responsibility.  I have no doubt he will do a great job and it's such a relief to leave the staff and students in such capable hands.  There will always be more work, there will always be more needs, but for me, for now, I am ready to return to Canada, to my friends, my family and my job.  I will miss the people here in Haiti A LOT and therefore I am trying really hard to live in the moment over the next few months.  I will leave Haiti sometime in July and therefore my time here is quickly coming to an end.  I'm trying to visit all the places I haven't yet been, I'm trying to send quality time with all my loved ones, I'm trying to enjoy the sunny days the warm breeze, my beautiful apartment... I'm trying.
