An American Girl in Cambodia
I'm pretty sure that Leigh Morlock didn't read my blog to help her decide whether or not to move to Cambodia, but she just moved there from New Jersey. After being laid off from her normal day job, Leigh took some time off to do soul searching and then sign up with an NGO to help build local businesses in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Here's a small blurb from her site:
I chose to live as an optimist. I started reading personal development blogs that resonated with who I wanted to become. A fellow dreamer who my mentor introduced me to last April contacted me in September. He remembered a conversation we had in April when I told him I admired the work he did and would love to be a part of it. He wanted to know if I would be interested in moving across the globe to work for his NGO. Yes! Of course! I jumped at the opportunity. [Am American Girl In Cambodia]
The one thing that caught my eye as I read the beginning posts of her blog is her attitude and spirit toward adventure. What makes different her from countless of other people in this world is her choice to live as an optimist. She chooses to face all those winding roads with a positive spirit and not as a victim to circumstance! Good luck Leigh, I'll be reading!
