elevated

There's a irritation in me, but this time I'm much less seduced by my fear. I really don't care that perhaps I've been misled. Everyone misleads everyone to a certain degree, don't they? Do the friendships really matter? Do people like that make a difference to me and who I am? Yes I may still see myself as that awkward high schooler, but let me tell you, I'm far from that, or so I've been told. So, I'm not surprised to be here again. Actually, this will be fun. It had to come back around so that I can conquer the parts of me that I thought would always be left in my younger days. In the end, I shouldn't care. For every one of her, I have five more for me.

higher learning

My career will always be a series of situations. These situations will breed in me a repertoire of perfectly pieced-together skills. Each situation may seem to be, on the onset, completely unrelated. But with time, an arsenal of depth and knowledge will emerge.

You see, each place my foot lands is another classroom. I've done post-graduate work in the most prestigious of places. Every time I've felt the pull to move, I've done so because that situation had revealed the best and worst in me. With it I take a thousand lessons learned, and I'm ready to apply them to my next year of education.

What's more amazing is to walk into a new environment without clamouring to get to the very top of that field. Rather, I walk into it wondering what it will do for me, where it will lead me next and what I will do with it at the highest level.

off...and running


I'm in motion today - doing what I want to do, what needs to be done. I'm listening as I go. I hear Someone saying Something about me moving on and ahead. I cannot be stationary in my lifetime. I'm entering into a newness, a freedom, planted in me when I was traveling. I'm thrilled.

Sometimes your career, for a seaon, can be different from your passion. And I find that very okay.
