I’m grateful for mini breakdowns
It's another week in November and as part of my grateful challenge, I'm at it again! This past Monday, I had a mini breakdown. I was thrown under the bus by a coworker about some work that I hadn't completed. I felt so inadequate, stressed and overwhelmed. I went into the bathroom and cried. I … Continue reading I’m grateful for mini breakdowns
Trying to find joy in transition
This week has been hard. I miss home and I still don't like my job. However, I'm finding little ways to create balance, routine and happiness in my life. I'm taking care of my health. I started exercising regularly again. Xfinity has some great exercise videos. I also joined the YMCA. I'm creating a home. … Continue reading Trying to find joy in transition
I always have a choice
1. You always have a choice When I told him that I was not going to church anymore so that I can choose to go to church he said, “But Esther, I thought you always had a choice.” That statement is really profound, because it’s really true.

I'm on my own in Boston. Update. I officially accepted the offer in Boston. Though I really wanted … Continue reading I’m on my own
I’m so happy to be back!
At this moment, I'm at peace. I'm back in Chicago and I'm in my ma's living room basking in solitude. I'm enjoying the window view of blue skies and green trees. I'm so happy to be home with family. It's funny throughout this blog, I've complained about being stuck and feeling imprisoned in this place … Continue reading I’m so happy to be back!

A lot on my mind and ramblings about possibilities
Beware: This is a blog post of ramblings..... It has no order or purpose or special meaning. I've been M.I.A. Sometimes I disappear when I have a lot on my mind. Other times, I just let my thoughts flow through my finger tips and into the blogosphere. I think part of my disappearance is due … Continue reading A lot on my mind and ramblings about possibilities
