NEXT CHAPTER: Quick Update on Life

Forth of July in Ethiopia. I have to probably be the only one that did anything. What can I say I am Ethiopian-American after all. No fireworks :(

So As you can tell with the above picture I got highlights but this was my favorite picture of the color. And of course mom did it. If you’re ever in the Fairfax, Virginia area check her out.

Feeling glamours during a photo shoot I had with the amazing and unrealistically talented Tedos Teffera. Images from the shoot to be posted soon.

It’s so wonderful to be an auntie!!! Got to finally meet my brother’s kids. Image of nephew will be posted soon. Their relationship is amazing with him which made me very happy!!! That said I’m soooooo happy I’m in Abu Dhabi!!!!! My very first country I was not born or raised in.

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.

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...
