Well, the best of laid plans do seem to go where the universe deems it's best. In my case, the universe decided, in its wisdom, that I wasn't quite ready for my April 22nd departure. I am writing this post from the comfort of my Toronto based hotel room as my departure to Addis Ababa was rescheduled to May 6.
I count myself blessed for the two week extension. Gave me extra time to move out of my rental, spend much more time with my children, siblings and friends and better prepare for the year ahead. Feel so much settled now in my life here in Canada as I depart. That said, leaving is still going to be one of the toughest personal changes I have had to make. Sharpening my appreciation for what others go through when we ask them to make changes in their personal and/or work lives.
I have also connected with volunteers currently living in Ethiopia as well as volunteers back in Canada. Everyone has been so immediately welcoming, gracious and giving of their time and experiences. I am slowly becoming part of a new global community that I believe I have a good fit with and can make a contribution to.
Landing in Addis on Sunday, May 7.
Look forward to sharing what my initial experiences are like.
Namaste.
