The Return

How strange and yet so familiar. Being back in my own country for the first time in nearly seven years is wonderful. I don't have to worry that I won't be understood. My country, my language, my people. I've forgotten how friendly and helpful my people can be. Driving into the city and seeing our famous mountain, the ocean, the beautiful views just made me smile. There is something very comforting about the familiar and yet I've come back to some new challenges. Another new beginning awaits and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Can I start over again? Is there a place for me here? What is God's plan for my life? Can I contribute, make a difference? I truly hope so!

I'll keep you posted!

A New Year

  It's already the seventh day of January. How did that happen? So it's been a while since I wrote anything on here. A lot has happened since my last visit and life has been really challenging. I have doubts, fears and a lot of anxiety I haven't really experienced before. And discomfort. What is all of this teaching me? Should I go, should I just patiently move through it hoping to come out on the other side, happier? I really don't know! I have to believe that God has put me here for a good reason, right? Have I been too comfortable? I have so many questions. That is where faith and trust comes in......and of course patience. Where are you taking me this year, God?

When Life Gives You Lemons

  I lost a dear friend two weeks ago and I'm really struggling. Why her, God.......why? Why is cancer eating away at us, in so many different ways? Where is the miracle, and where is the cure? My only solace is that she is with her mom now. Lucy, my dear stubborn friend. I miss you so much! The world is a big mess and people are more isolated and lonely than ever before. What has happened to the human race? When did we stop caring about each other? When are we going to learn the lesson? I have so many questions, God! Making that lemonade.......it's hard at the moment.

Information Overload

  Learning is a lifelong endeavour, but since this epidemic took over our lives I have consumed so much more information that my head is exploding. We are all looking for new ways to make money from home and that requires us to investigate options we never even considered before. How did we get here? You don't have to answer that. So much to investigate, so little time! Which ones work, which doesn't? Who can you trust? It can be scary to try something new, but also exciting. Then you talk to your friends and they share what they have learned as well. More information! Thanks to the internet and technology in general it is so much easier to start something new, but like all things in life, you have to do your homework. The competition is tough and you have to do something that stands out and attracts attention. You have to try and be more creative than the next guy or it might not work out. Research, plan and work at it every single day. The internet is your oyster! Keep moving...
