Thought I’d respond to this wordpress prompt (it will be short and hopefully sweet):
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.
I accepted an opportunity to live and work in Southeast Asia over 14 years ago. It was a bit of a ‘feel the fear and do it anyway ‘ + go with the flow moment = my life in Asia.
Amidst lots of unknowns I had a peace this was the right move. Something that was important during some of the challenging times and the ‘what am I doing here!?‘ times.
I wrapped up my Asia life at the end of 2022—although I’m still navigating the transition.
I returned with:
- another language
- another homeland
- adopted sisters, extended family
- lasting friendships, global connections
- a bit more wisdom (yet still so much to learn)
- more than one suitcase (when I left my ‘life’ had to fit in 32 kg)
- Sea stories
- my poetic voice
- Thursday Thoughts
- and many more threads in my tapestry.
