    Today was my first journey of many to take into a new world - a complete strangers life. Bianca, a bright and cheery 20 something had a carefree laugh and encouraging smile. As she spoke about her career dreams and relationship, she had a wonderful practical humor about her with a flare for zombies and semi-automatics. She gave me a brief glimpse into her family life and the surprising dynamics that her aunts shared through a rather physical medium.
   
     She exudes hope and optimism about the things to come and is quite content with living in the present. Her imagination combined with her desire to learn will serve her well as she pursues event planning. Even during my wacky movie stories she didn't miss a beat. The only hesitation I noted was when she was discussing the "why" behind what she wants to do.

      Like me, she occupies this limbo state between work and will. Is she willing to work or is her will in her work? As she discussed this she wore her emotions on her sleeve and wasn't ashamed of it. This hunger for adventure and a sense of purpose pervades throughout our generation. The desire to be challenged in new and meaningful ways must become a personal undertaking. It's about acknowledging how crucial novel and deep conversations are to the development and sustainability of life long growth. I look forward to witnessing the journey of this dedicated  Whovian and seeing her life story unfold.
