Just to recap, in the last 4 months I’ve gone through the Overwhelm; Numb; Extreme Motivation and have settled into just straight contentment. Peace. Next Stage: Question Everything I have now been home for 4 months and I’m feeling a little more settled into the idea that I can create and maintain a blissful life […]
Distraction. A theme I’ve been identifying and exploring over the last few months. I often find myself reflecting, trying to ensure I’m staying in this state of bliss; a feeling I identified, I nurtured, and I explored when traveling.

I have been struggling with the idea of going back to work full-time because I’m trying so hard to maintain this blissful life that I’ve found. I want to work and do something meaningful, while still maintaining the balance I found in Rwanda. You work hard during working hours and then you go home. You’re […]

The last few months have been a whirlwind. It’s interesting… “A journey around the world has led me to this exact moment” as Audra continues to point out. Never in a million years would I have guessed I would be here now, yet I’m feeling more like me than ever. I’ve spent a lot of […]
April 19, 2017 So much has happened in the last few days that I don’t even know where to begin! I took a bus to Musanze to visit Greg I went hiking and saw monkeys! I took a painting class I have enjoyed the hammock I took a shower! It had warm water for a […]
My girl Shonda got paid big for this concept of saying yes! I found her book exceptional, so kudos to her for being such an amazing and relatable writer! I have thought of the idea of saying yes quite often on this journey. It’s very easy when traveling alone to hunker down and stay in […]
