It’s official! One year to the day of leaving the Georgia Department of Education, I was offered (and have accepted) a position with the Abu Dhabi Education Council in Abu Dhabi, one of seven emirates in the United Arab Emirates. I leave the first week in August 2010 for a two-year leadership/teaching experience in the city of Al Ayn, also known as the Garden City, located in southern Abu Dhabi. I’m off on new adventures … living in a desert villa, riding camels, watching spectacular sunsets, working in a stellar educational system, travelling throughout the Middle East/Europe/Asia, and if needed, I’ll volunteer for Samantha’s role in Sex and the City 3!
Until this point in life, I have focused on guiding my children and my career. However, in the past few years, I realized that ones’ existence is but a fleck in time, so I’m taking this window of opportunity to LIVE LIFE in big bites! You know what ‘they’ say, “women who behave don’t make history,” and I want to make REAL history!!!
Please follow my blog as I uncover funny, touching, exciting and intriguing stories of life on other continents. Hopefully, my reflections will show that how we play and work together reflects and celebrates the commonalities of the human character. Join me and together we will laugh, love, and live life to the fullest!
will be looking forward to reading about all your exciting experiences….
love you,
mama
