Making lemonade in Africa

Making lemonade in Africa

I'm rewriting my story. After fleeing a nanny gig, a very kind person took me under his wing, and convinced me to sign up for a tour leaving three days later, from another city, in a different country, even. I don't think about it overnight, or even over dinner. I say yes.

I've just joined a 20 day tour of southern Africa with 12 strangers. In the head space I have been in, I sort of just wanted to be quiet. Soak it in. Let nature heal.

Nature is healing. But so is remembering to be the fun loving, quick witted woman I can be. It's making people laugh. It's making me laugh. 

This is who I am.
Except when I'm not. And I've been not. So I am rewriting my story, and it's one I want to be part of.
