New Blog, New Post, New site, new new new.....

/...10 months since leaving Namibia, after feeling like 6-7 of these months of my life were a blur and confusing, I am at place now where seeking stability in every aspect of life has become more then ever a priority. The past year and months has been a learning experience that came at me so fast that I could not and sometimes still can not process all of these "eye opener" moments. but that's life, you can NEVER expect it to go your way. So....just keep swimming!

when I decided to apply to Peace Corps, I knew it was the best decision for me .... 3 years later I absolutely feel the exact same way. With no 2nd guess with no hesitation I have decided to do it all again. To start over with a new site,new village, new challenges, new everything, its scary but exciting nonetheless.
