I’m missing my friends back home and I am feeling a bit down. Changes are happening I feel uneasy.
Friday Reflections: Have my Ambitions Change in the Last 5 Years
Have my ambitions changed in the last few years? No, they haven’t and I will tell you why.
Finding the sparkles of light
This second week in our new home has been so hard. I feel isolated, lonely and uncertain. At the end though, I still manage to find some sparkles of light, which bring me hope that things will get better.
Hightlights from our first week

There is always tomorrow…
Knowing we will soon be leaving, I am more aware of my surroundings. How the breeze feels on my face and thinking about how all that is familiar will soon change.
