If you are reading this message it is the last day of 2018 in America and the new year has officially started in China! How exciting!!!

I know that I did not always feel this way, but I am super excited to for what is to come for me in China. My contract is for two years with my job so I am in China until at least 2020. I wasn’t always excited about being here and for a good span of time I used the word “hate” as it pertained to my living in China and made it extremely clear that I wanted to go home never to return here! I am super open to this experience of being a Black American Expat living in China! 

It has been a  … greatchallengingfunexcitingadventure filled... emotionalpretty wonderful year. 


Stop! I would love for to share /respond to this post with 3 things you are thankful for from 2018! I hope it was a great year for you. If 2018 wasn’t what you hoped for I hope that you can work towards having 2019 being bigger and better than you ever dreamed.

I HOPE THAT 2019 blows your mind!!! Here is a link with some of my favorite photos from 2018!!!  – enjoy my walk down memory lane!

  1. The three things that I’m thankful for…
    1) Even though I didn’t always enjoy my center I enjoyed the people around me.
    2) The people I met make it worth actually coming out here.
    3) Food. I got to try new foods and some of it is always gonna be on a list of foods I can eat at a moments notice.
