Homesick

Hi everyone!! Sorry I haven't written a post in some time now. To be honest, I think I have past the honeymoon phase of living abroad and have moved into adjustment now. I have been extremely homesick the last week and have definitely found it takes its' toll on my overall energy, feeling somewhat fatigued and down. Don't get me wrong, I still absolutely love living here and the experiences and vividness of Uganda. This is just a reality one must go through in leaving loved ones, familiarity and comfort back home.

It is an experience I am also valuing as it adds more insight into the feelings I have for family and friends back home and the palette of emotions of the human experience. It is refreshing to go through these times as it reminds us of the trials and tests of being alive. It reminds us to appreciate more the times that we are grounded, in tune and aware with ourselves and the lives we lead. It brings about deeper self reflection, knowledge of the self, and a wider scope of emotional introspection. Although I hope to swing back soon, for now I will push through these times and take them as lessons.

I hope everyone is doing well, adjusting to the change in seasons (both back home with the changing of leaves and the onset of fall and winter, and those entering into the dry or rainy season.. Oh how I love torrential rain :)
May the change in the elements also signify a change within ourselves. The shedding of a skin we have been putting off, blooming of ourselves, bearing the fruits we seek to create.

So much love...
PEACE
