What an amazing day. I met with great friends to discuss my video diary and interviews with the residents near the BP Oil spill. Everyone is so supportive of my plans for my fact-finding trip. It reassures me that I am doing the right thing, instead of sitting home thinking THEY should do something. My first thought is: who is THEY? And if THEY can do something, so can I.

I have seven days left before I embark on this new experience. I’m currently working on what geographical areas I will cover. My initial thoughts were to go to Grand Isle LA, but after researching, I also would like to cover Mississippi, Alabama and Pensecola Fl. I’m going to cover as much land as possible so that I can accurately report my findings for the people to fully understand the magnitude of this catastrophe.

I’m actually feeling a little nervous about visiting the BP oil spill location. My concerns are: will I ask the right questions? I’ve been researching and listening in on webinars in regards to the clean-up and the effects it’s having BUT am I prepared enough? Also, I’m wondering if the locals will accept me or just think I’m just some nosey New Yorker . My goal is to inform people without speaking in senators’ fancy talk that most people (myself included – and I’m a college graduate) would not easily understand. I am a normal person and feel that I can inform everyone about what’s really going on with this spill in a language that you don’t have to go to a dictionary to look up the meaning. I can totally relate to feeling confused and embarrassed to ask a question because someone chooses to use unfamiliar words. I’m a real person; my goal is to inform everyone on what the long term effects are going to be in a way that ordinary people can understand.

Today is June 23rd. Just sitting here thinking “Wow”. I feel so fortunate to be able to chase all of my dreams (and I never dream small) so with that being said, everything I do is always BIG.
I’m planning a trip to Louisiana, to see for myself the effects the BP Oil Spill is having on the land, the Gulf, the animals and the residents of the area.
