Let me preface this by saying, this isn’t going to be a great blog. My thoughts are so all over the place right now. Buuuuut, I will give it a go anyways. 

So I really can’t believe the World Race is over. It kind of came and went and here I am. At this exact moment I am unsure how I feel about all of this. I do know, I am so grateful to have spent the year with the most amazing people. I loved getting to know my teammates, our hosts, and the people in the communities we served. 

What a special opportunity I’ve been given. πŸ™‚ It really has been amazing. 

Currently, I am sitting in a hostel in Australia. I decided to decline my ticket home and make use of the time off of work. I am going to spend 2.5 weeks here then finally fly home to the USA. 

But once back in the US, what then? I literally have no idea. I know for sure I need to make some money. But I have no idea how that will work with project searchlight, or my sisters wedding festivities. She wants me there, I want to be there. Yet at the same time I want to be in California, which is where I consider my home and friends to be. 

I am so torn. I have no idea what to do?! Help. Travel nursing assignment? Go back to work for one of my previous employers? Just stay home for a few weeks and process ALL that has happened?  

Its just so much, and I really can’t make a decision right now. πŸ™ 

The one thing I do know, is that I still feel called to go back to South Africa and go work at the orphanage I wrote about in one of my earlier blogs. That calling has not diminished or gone away. I think I would truly regret it if I didn’t give it a chance. 

So come April ish….. I will be going back to South Africa for a time. I have no idea how long. I do not know all the details but I know enough to go.

Thank you so much to each and every one of my supporters. You have been amazing this year. I feel so blessed because of you! I just want you to know that I really appreciate ALL you did! πŸ™‚ Thank you so much!! Love you all. <3 πŸ™‚
