Until I followed my fiancé to Albania in 2007, I had always had a job with Educational programs and institutions and never gave much thought to my life’s direction, as life was sailing by smoothly! However, 4 months into our move to Albania (my first as an accompanying partner) I wasn’t so excited about expat life any more, as I was no longer working and felt I’d lost a part
When you feel you have lost your identity on your travels around the globe (or through other life events), it often goes paired with a loss of self-confidence and self-esteem. Not doing what usually brings you fulfillment and has you connect with people, may cause a lot of internal stress and to feel lonely and depression could easily come knocking on your door. However, when you find yourself in this
Self care is a critical part of living a well-balanced life. But it can be a real struggle when there are more things to do in a day than there is time to do them, and if you are used to putting everyone and everything before your own needs.

It happens to the best of us. Everything’s going smoothly with life until ‘BAM!’ our progress hits the wall and comes to a crashing halt. We become wracked with
The world is splitting apart, and young Eep is running toward a new, adventurous life. Every step she takes is perilous and fraught with danger as the earth crumbles all around her. Behind her is the dark cave she’s always called home. Ahead of her is tropical beach that’s just out of reach. Her father shouts, “Don’t go! It’s too dangerous! Listen to your fears!” Meanwhile her new friend, Guy,
We humans love pattern. Our brains thrive on repetition and routine. Making changes or taking a new direction can sometimes seem frightful to the point of paralysis.
