...speechless

LiFE is so incredible. We are constantly being engaged in amazing oppurtunities that come in all shapes and sizes. It can be through the smallest things and thats the simple beauty of life. Realizing, appreciating, & embracing these small blessings is our biggest adventure. I am still doing my best to engange this concept in my everyday life.


Feeling that cold breeze alone brought me chills, but realizing the history of where I was sitting , kept me speechless and a persistent piercing knot in my stomach.
Dachau Concentration Camp, a place that cannot even be described in words or pictures, but merely by the raw emotion felt when standing on the open ground where so many lives were parished. Personally, I am so enthralled by European history, mainly during the 1930-1940 time period, WWII. And this past summer I was given an oppurtunity to go to Germany, which I immediatley accepted with much anticipation. The beauty I saw there was so incredible, but the one moment that sticks out the most to me is the few hours I went and visited the concentration camp. I could try my best to describe what it was like, but it impossible. The whole day I was speechless...
