Where have you come from and where are you going?

Where have you come from and where are you going?

There is arguably no better time than at the end of one year, and at the precipice of a new year, season and decade to ask yourself a seemingly simple question that can be as abundantly complex as life itself:

Where have you come from and where are you going?

-Christine Suh

Where I’ve Come From

In the last decade, I started my career, became a mother, married my college sweetheart, had a second child, moved across the country, found my faith 10x over and journeyed through countless challenges.

Through it all, I consistently allowed myself space and time to wrap my mind around who I was, am and will be. I took numerous critical and forgiving looks back to better equip myself to move forward.

And recently, I carved out even more time to rest, reflect, and recharge. To enter a space for women (of color) and by women (of color). A space to be vulnerable and reflective and my whole entire self.

Where I’m Going

I have no idea.

I feel a simmering of something. I see a hint of something, but for the most part, and if this last decade is any indication, I could only narrowly guess where I am going. But what I can speak to, is how I hope to get there.

I hope to get there with intentionality and while owning my elegance, making space for faith and love and trying my best to be the best and a better version of the Christian, wife, mother, friend, daughter, worker and leader then I was the day before.

So, if nothing else this new year, take a few minutes with yourself and ask your self: Where have I come from and where am I going?
