New beginnings, new blog. My very first post!

Merry Christmas!

With the very first Christmas, the whole world changed. With this blog, I don`t try to change the world - but I want to document the change in my personal life.

So, let me start with introducing myself:
I`m in my early 30s, single, and a woman in academia. I`m originally from Germany, but I`ve been living in the US for almost a decade now. At the moment, I hold a position at a large university in the Bible Belt of America. I teach culture and conduct research that I hope will help improve my students` and my own life. :)
I believe that I`m at this point in my life, because of my faith in God.

Just like most people, my life is full of daily challenges at work and in my personal life. Nevertheless, I regard myself as a very happy and content person.

I`m starting this blog to reflect on my life. Come and join me on my journey! Feel free to leave me a comment and to get in touch with me. I love to meet new people and to learn about their points of view!
