What Is Left

Fortunately, I have already given most of my worldly possessions to my kids. Anything extra with non-sentimental value has been donated. What I am left with is truly the distillation of what means the most to me, plus some stuff I need to live. Life Beyond As I was chatting with my friend last night, I was saying that this truly feels like a rebirth to me. I have…

81 Days Til Mozambique

Health, Personal Growth, Relationships, Travel

I have started counting down my days until I leave for the Peace Corps. In many ways, I have done all I can do, so it is a waiting game. I work. I write. I occasionally go on a date. I watch movies. I try to pay off bills. I am the kind of person that hates downtime. I seem to live perpetually in the future, so it takes a colossal effort for me to slow down and savor the moment. I do love to take nature walks, but I detest the cold, so I have been home-bound a bit for the last month. Adult Dating Is Complicated I had a recent romance that was a revelation to me. He was a wonderful man, and I will forever be grateful…

A Tale of Love & Destiny

Personal Growth, Relationships, Travel

Last year, I met and fell in love with the most incredible man I had ever met. He fascinated me with his travels, adventures, and intelligence. He showed me a life I had never considered before, and it was amazing. We have had an intense and passionate romance, that came to an abrupt halt when his contract for work ended in America, and he had to return to Germany for his next project. Though we tried to find ways to keep him here or for me to join him there, it just never came together for us. It was absolutely heart-breaking and gut-wrenching. In the months that have passed since his departure, my emotions have run the gamut. There is regret that we did not have more time. There is…
