home.

For most people, "home" is not a troubling word. For me, "home" has been confusing for the past 5 years. Five years ago, Ghana became as much of my home as Pennsylvania is. I think that is why it wasn't very difficult or surprising for people to understand why I moved to Ghana right after …

Spontaneous

Wow wow wow it has been a crazy few weeks. As you know, I took a VERY unexpected trip to Europe last week and I am so excited to tell you all about it! As I said in my last blog post, I met up with Hallie in London where we stayed in a pretty …

SURPRISE

Surprise! I left Ghana for a little while... on a COMPLETE whim. I have been having a difficult time the past few weeks. Certain circumstances have created a lot of stress in my life in Ghana. Sometimes, I've learned, we need a break from our real lives. Real lives are stressful and often difficult, so …

Moving forward

HI GUYS! Oh my goodness gracious, it has been so long since I have posted and there are multiple reasons for that and I promise I will always all of the BURNING questions that you all have in this post. 🙂 Ok long story, short, I have been MIA because I quit my job and …

It has been a bit

Let’s talk about Ghana

Ok so this week has been insanely difficult. We all know that already. So rather than dwelling into the negative junk happening in my life, I thought this blog post should be committed to the cool stuff about Ghana that people in my life might not know. Here we go, super cool info about super …

A trip home

Hi beauties! There is a lot going on at home in America right now. Most of you know that my mom has been working in Honduras for a few years. Honduras is to Anita as Ghana is to Jordan. Every year, a few kids from Amigos de Jesus travel to the states to visit. They …

Look at my life

Hey y'all! I'm back and I have photos. I promised! To be completely honest, I haven't taken many photos. I guess the surroundings around here are pretty normal to me so I keep forgetting to take pictures of things that you all might be interested in seeing. Until I have more photos, I hope that …

Making the most of things.

First, I want to thank everyone who has given feedback about my first post. Y'all rock. Reflections from the past few days: Wow how confusing is life? How are we supposed to answer life-changing questions and feel comfortable with the choices we made? Especially when down every path, there are inevitable bumps along the way. …

Let me catch you up…

Ok so I moved to Ghana about 2.5 months ago. To say that this transition has been a whirlwind would be an understatement. Everyone reading this knows that this is my 6th time to Ghana. What you don't know is that every other time I have been staying in a rural village about 3 hours …
