Realized (too late) that I was waiting in the right spot but on the wrong side of the street…🤦🏽‍♀️

Important lesson learned😅; and still made it to the airport in time!🙏🏽
(2/2)

It was a scary & stressful experience... And strangely taught me a lot for which I am very grateful!

(And even more grateful that everyone is well & accounted for!🙏🏽)

(2/2)And ended the day hearing the inspiring story of a resilient survivor who has unofficially adopted all the students like her own grandkids.👵🏻

It was a good day❣️

So - it turned into a nice (late) start to the day after all!🙏🏽

The #Ghanaian/Norwegian & oh-so-stylish artist, T-Michael!😎 I love the way he incorporates Japanese aesthetics into his fashions🤗. And this has never happened to me before - meeting someone that’s Instagram-famous on the street. Lol. So of course I stopped again to chat and we snapped a pic!📸

And that meant that as I was heading up the final hill to the office, I recognized a striking figure of someone coming down the hill at the same time.

Turns out it was someone I’ve followed on Instagram for years!🤗

Then I had another delay at the 7-11 because I needed to find something for a program that I don’t usually get & it took longer than expected.

So again - I slowed down🐢.

First - I happened to meet one of my students that I really needed to talk as they were headed out for the day.

So I slowed down at the station and chatted with them for a sec.

Luckily, no major injuries occurred & I bounced back up with only sore knees & a sore hip. And very, very grateful that it wasn’t worse!🥹 Y’all stay safe out there!🙏🏽
