Back to the Grind

​I spent the first week being home doing whatever my heart desired and it was fabulous! Mind you, I was sick the entire time but it was absolutely wonderful to be free from responsibility or obligations.I spent the entire week visiting with a few friends, testing new recipes, and relaxing. After my rather stressful week prior, it was a much needed change.

I returned to my job at Healthy Mama's yesterday and had my first shift back. It was bittersweet returning to work, I loved seeing everyone again but also felt like I wasn't supposed to be there. So weird to think that just two weeks ago, I thought I was in Dublin for another 2 years! Needless to say, that thought has been looming over me and kind of ruining my return to normalcy. With that being said, it was truly great to reconnect with the some of the girls.

I am also waiting on instructions to start writing a newsletter and recipes column for the Vegetarian Society of Ireland. I expect her to email me in the next few days so I'm looking forward to starting that. I love the idea of being able to help them get things off the ground again and I couldn't be more excited to get down to business. Not to mention, this will also help me better my writing and learn more about the world of animals through studying. The more I learn about the atrocities happening to animals around the world, the more eager I am to lend my voice / support to various causes. 

It's been a reflective and peaceful week but it's definitely time to start getting back into things. I want to be back in Dublin for Sept / Oct of next year to enjoy a full year there so I need to get my butt started on saving. I'll need significantly more than last time so it's up to me to get that ball rolling. 

​Catch up with you all again soon!
