Darkness before Dawn

Making the decision to move to Ethiopia without a job lined up was a bit scary but I believed in what the universe was telling me to do. Fast forward to a three months in and funds low with no job.

I'm ready to purchase my plane ticket back to the States and just call my "dream"/ journey quits. And with people around me telling to do so, it made the decision seem like what needed to happen. I then told myself that I said a year and a year it will be. So I got to thinking... and planned a Young Professional Networking Event. Which I was also discouraged from doing.

It was way more successful than I had planned. And a week later I landed a job I could only dream about. So needless to say I am very very happy and glad that I waited for dawn.

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?

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...
