Out of touch




It has been over a week since I have been on my blog to write about everything that seems to be going on over here. It is mainly because I have not felt much like writing publicly these days. I have been taking some time to travel in the last week... again! I know it seems as if I am on an extended vacation over here and I guess I really am in so many ways. So why not just enjoy it?!

I had the opportunity to go to Utrecht and Amsterdam this past weekend. It was a great weekend. I visited a friend of mine there that I just always seem to have a lot of fun with. The weather was very snowy and really anti-spring in alot of ways. We walked around the Dam Square,visited Madame Tussaud's museum and had a nice dinner at "the Bird" a wonderful thai restaurant near the center. It was a nice relaxing weekend filled with great conversation and lots of laughter. I really needed that.. things have been a bit stressful for me lately on trying to figure out what direction I need to go in. I feel like I have come to another crossroads in my life. This time though it came alot quicker than most.

Yesterday I visited a city by the name of Roermond and met a lovely couple that I had the great opportunity of meeting through one of my friends in Austin. We had a great conversations over dinner and it was nice to share time with like minded people.

Even though things are not as I would have envisioned right now with me being here. I have been very disappointed with a few key elements of my being here in Europe. And it only has to do with certain circumstances, not the place. I am still very happy to have moved here and be here now. I can't help but to look at the bright side of it all. I have a new sense of freedom and despite the stresses and let downs, there are definitely some light hearted, like minded and spirited people that I can connect with on my journey, both near and far, that are very supportive and truly show that in everyway they can. I appreciate that during this tough transitory time I find myself in.

I patiently await for my next journey to begin, while closing out the old. I feel like it is time for another choice at this crossroads. One that is more reflective of my true self.

I hope everyone is having a great week. Thank you for your emails and notes this past week. I have added a few pics from my weekend.

In love and gratitude,

Asha
