Thank you, Christiana, for your inspiring post! All your choices are impressive: the ones you made when you were younger to make ends meet to take care of your children and ex-husband, it takes so much courage an abnegation to stick with those kinds of choices, and those you’ve just made for yourself, accepting to a total change of life to be in service of others. I’m 52, out of a job, still trying to make things work for myself and I truly admire you. You are a strong independent woman with a beautiful curiosity about life and others. You can be proud of yourself and all your achievements. Lots of love.
What an incredibly exciting adventure you are about to embark on! I so admire your courage and your ability to express yourself in these beautiful essays. I’m 57, so maybe that’s why I find myself nodding in agreement and being moved by your writing. That last paragraph on grace is gold✌️Best to you and thank you for sharing!
Congratulations on your upcoming Peace Corps service in Tonga! And good luck with the foreign service exam. We have Peace Corps friends who are now/still in the FS and have had quite the adventurous life, including raising their kids overseas. Way to make things happen for yourself. 💗
