I’m going to Awassa - Total tourist

March 29 -



I got to hang out with my friend from the NYC trip! We went to Nazrate. You’re wondering why the title is Awassa if I’m in Nazrate. So he was taking a business trip to Nazrate and asked if I wanted join. I asked if it was a warm place since Addis had been a bit on the chilly side I wanted a place I could ware a dress and be fine. After being told that it’s hot I decided to join. Because I had talked about Awassa that day with my uncle or cousin I for some reason thought I was going there. Later that night at dinner I was with my Dad and step-mom and he asked where I was going. I said Awassa and he told me that it was an over night trip I said no it’s too close to be over night and argued the mess out of where I was going. I asked what the nearest hot city to Addis, but in the midst of arguing I decided to text Amare (the friend). Well you could only imagine my reaction to the answer. It’s good to humble thy self sometime. Non-the less it’s such a beautiful city with lot of beautiful flowers. And of course I was in love with the weather. Here's a few shots, I took my camera with me.

This too shall pass

Today I began my day by taking a ride to work, the driver had on the radio and a zen kind of music was playing. With the news of all that is going on in Ethiopia with Gofa and the exchange rate, folks are stressed out to the point I find it difficult to breathe. So I appreciated a moment to sit in what felt like silence. And of course, as I point this out, most of you will say then why don't you move back to the United States?  And, as hard as it is to be optimistic and have hope in moments like this I remind myself "This too shall pass." That there's a much larger picture to look at. Something I'm not so sure of myself but my gut tells me to wait a little. When I first moved here I was told don't ask why. To just live. "ሰው እንደሆነው ሆነሽ ትኖሪያለሽ።" As much as that has been the theme of my life, I find that I have been moving far and far away from making the small differences that I can in the moments that God has provided me with. I feel like a crazy pers...

To New Beginnings

TBH

Moment of honesty...  I think I stopped blogging partly because I don't have time anymore. But mainly because my life wasn't fun anymore.  And although a little bit of seriousness is needed in order to live an adult life, I think I've lost myself in the process. I'm back to being a floating object. Not sure what the next goal is.  I miss the days of us being in grade school where we knew what was next, pass the test move on to the next grade keep doing that until college. Then you choose your "path" graduate. Than float.  When I grow up I want to be happy, but I also want a family and live a proactive and productive life. Chasing money doesn't make me happy, that's one thing I've learned so far. But I also don't want to let my future me down.  She deserves to live a life full of everything she wants and needs.  I'm at another turning point in my life not sure which way to go. I'm not sure if back to the Sta...
