I have been away for a few months rethinking my principles, values, and passions in life. It has been a dramatic year so far and as it winds down, I am looking forward to sharing a lot more with you on my blog.
As a foreigner (not entirely true, but it feels like it) trying to build a career in the UK, it has been a roller coaster ride. Who ever knew that building a career would take more than an undergraduate/postgraduate degree and a crash course in likeability. It takes sweat, tears, evaluations, abrupt changes, focus, and a whole lot more, including for me, a close reliance on God, to stay sane and keep going on a chosen path to build a solid career. It would be interesting to hear what other professionals have to share on their climb to the so-called top?
As an unmarried woman in her thirties, it's another story entirely trying to keep it together emotionally. Can I despise the freedom and time to pursue my own interests and dreams without interruption or compromise, not really. However, how would I feel to have the shoe on the other foot, that would be interesting to see and only time will tell whether you'll have the opportunity to laugh at my expense while I try the "so-called" shoe.
As a student engaging in adult education, I can definitely confirm that the older you get, the less enthusiastic schools sounds or feels (don't tell your kids that when you are scolding them about their grades on the other hand). Sometimes I ask myself, what were you thinking?
In the mean-time, it feels good to be back and therapeutic to talk about the issues most people keep off their public profiles.
Who wants to join me in stripping off the layers of oppressive silence and let it all out here on these pages? If that's you, sign up and let's kick off these conversations.
I am back and it feels good.
