It's strange how different forms of a message or reminder comes to you. I have been living, let me repeat LIVING, not visiting but LIVING in the UAE for over a month. I had to reiterate that for myself because I still can't believe I'm here.
I've had a chance to really digest that this past week outside of the hotel in my apartment (with no cable). Which, prematurely brought upon a little dosage of homesickness.... Why am I here? So far away from my TEAM: my support system. What am I doing here?
Fortunately, I have access to the internet and listening to Pandora, TI and Rihanna's song Live You Life comes on. And, it dawns on me. That's exactly what I'm doing, living my life. That is the precisely what brought me here, to live my life, and Smell the roses. :-)
TI says in this song ( yes, I'm quoting TI, and yes I had to google the lyrics). "Some move away to make a way." And, I've moved away to make a way to continue opening doors for continuous growth, experiences, and challenges for the future.
I am so thankful for this experience thus far; and the support that I received from my family and friends. It was not easy leaving them, but they make it easier for me to continue "living my life" here with their support.
