I just wanted to take today to remember that even though life may not always be pleasant and convenient, and even though adjusting to a new place has its hardships, for today I have my family and my safety, and I'm so grateful for that.
Look at this area of the world. Search any news site or channel, and many of these names will come up frequently. (Warning - soap box ahead - A note to reading news: check multiple sources, cross reference facts, and try not to read too many things that you already agree with...challenge yourself to be balanced in your perspective. There's a lot of propaganda out there. I'm still learning how to be a smart researcher. - soap box over -)

So here I am! I feel so privileged to be here, and I am realizing more every day how few people see into this window of the world. It's going to be a very challenging year, but I'm excited to learn, to grow, and to see what comes of it.
I hope everyone is having a good week so far!
With love from KSA,
