So I get on facebook after not having been on there for a bit and come across this message. I think I teared up a little. I haven't had much time to blog due to the work schedule and me trying to find a second gig. I have so much that I want to accomplish that I really don't want to rest or take time off until I get everything where I want them to be.
And of course I'm not forcing anything to happen. I'm just listening to my gut feeling and taking into account the world around me. There is so much left to tell you all about my experience that I will have to take a day out and post.
Take you all for your love and support and can't wait to make you all proud!
And a special THANK YOU to the beautiful young lady who wrote me this. I remember this girl in high school and I know she's going to do absolutely great in whatever she decides on. (I hope she feels encouraged to come to Ethiopia but none the less she's phenomenal).
Hi Kedest,
I hope you remember me, it's been a while. I’m writing you out of the blue, so let’s me back up and explain what’s prompting this message. As I was mindlessly scrolling down Facebook, I noticed an EthioJobs post. My first thought was, I can’t believe they can run such targeted ads; on Facebook - because I had been looking for jobs on the site. And then I realized, actually its you! And you’re organizing a networking event in Addis!
Then that led to me stalking you profile and the I found your blog. It was really inspiring to read! I have been thinking about moving back a lot and i’ve been applying for a few jobs here and there. It was awesome to read that you quit your job and just moved. I really admire your courage, it takes guts to do it and guts to embrace the ambiguity when you don’t know how things will pan out. The other thing that was cool was how you forced yourself out of your comfort zone. I share your (former?prior?) fear of stage fright, so I genuinely admire you for taking classes and performing.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about whether I’m willing to put it all on the line and leave my job, without having another one lined up in Addis. Much like you, I just know that there’s a tug in my tug continually telling me to move back (which I ascribe to God calling me to be back). I don’t know how or when, but we’ll see what the future holds.
I don’t know if at the point you have any practical advice with respect to networking and meeting potential companies when you’re thousands of miles aways.
Either way, I hope to move back and if I do, I hope to meet up with you in person.
But I just wanted to encourage you to keep at it! And as you can, please blog too. Also, I follow this group on twitter, which may or may not be of interest to you: https://twitter.com/AddisShapers I just thought I’d share.

P.S. to any of my readers in Ethiopia go follow the group on twitter. They're pretty great!
