I came to the United States in January 2005, alone, as a AuPair. I met my future husband in May of that year and I decided to stay.
Because of that:
    ● I know how hard it is to feel like you don’t belong. Not here where
you live now, not where you come from. So many of us feel lost.
“Hanging in the middle”, full of uncertainty and guilt. I know a way
out of this spot, and I will teach it to you.
    ● I know first hand how hard it is to find yourself in a foreign country,
not speaking fluently or control much happening around you. How
long it took you to gain a solid understanding of this new reality
you found yourself in.
    ● I know the deep heartbreak you felt when you were leaving your
loved ones behind. Heartbreak re-experienced at the end of every
visit.
    ● I understand how hard it can be to overcome insecurities that
come up in everyday life.
    ● I know the sadness you feel when you visit your home and find
your parents aging, and there is nothing you can do to bring back
the years spent away from them.
    ● I know what it feels like to spend another Christmas away from
your loved ones, familiar traditions, foods, music, and everything
else that used to give so much meaning to that time of the year.
This and so much more.
We might have different backgrounds, but heartbreaks and
insecurities feel the same.
