A Day Of Reflection

A Life Reset – A Reflection

There are moments in life when the soul whispers for a pause, a breath, a sacred interruption. Not because everything is wrong, but because clarity often needs distance. And sometimes, that clarity can only come when you step outside the rhythm and noise of your ordinary life.

Being in Ghana has given me this pause. I came with a clear purpose—to train midwives, to play my part in reducing maternal and infant mortality. That mission remains at the center. It anchors me, reminds me of the greater calling I’ve answered. But something else, something unexpected and just as profound, has occurred. This journey has given me a chance to reset. Not just logistically or professionally—but spiritually, emotionally, existentially.

Every once in a while, we need to go somewhere far enough that we can see our lives more clearly. We need to separate from our daily routines, our familiar spaces, even from the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Only then can we look at our lives not with judgment, but with honesty. Only then can we ask: Is this the life I want? Are these the relationships I want to nurture? Am I living in alignment with who I am and who I am becoming?

Ghana has given me that gift. Amid the sounds of morning prayers and bustling markets, in the eyes of nurses and mothers doing their best with so little, in the heartbeat of a country full of dignity and resilience—I found myself asking deeper questions. Who am I when I am far from home? Who am I when I am not performing a role, but simply being? What matters most?

And with each passing day here, I hear a quieter, wiser voice within saying: Be intentional. Let every act—small or large—carry the weight and beauty of purpose. Let every relationship be a conscious choice rooted in love, mutual respect, and truth. Let go of what no longer serves. Invite in what brings joy, peace, and depth.

This is my life reset. A tender, sacred awakening. A realignment with my deeper self. It is not about changing everything; it is about returning to the essence. It is about listening again to what truly matters. It is about walking forward with grace, with clarity, with unshakeable intention.

This time in Ghana is not only a mission of service—it is a rebirth. A reclamation. A quiet revolution inside of me. And for that, I am deeply, humbly grateful.
