Hi Friends,

I am working on a <a title="A new blog" href="http://carolynemigh.com" target="_blank">new project</a>: it's <a title="My new blog" href="carolynemigh.com" target="_blank">carolynemigh.com</a> It's been growing slowly (very slowly in fact) over the last four months. I'd love it if you'd join me there.

This new blog will never replace Karolinkabulgaria.com and I am not sure that I will ever find such an interesting and diverse community to be a part of again. I can't believe how many wonderful friends I've made through this blog and how much support I received from all of you while I was living in Sofia. For that I would like to say thank-you from the bottom of my heart.

Over the past five years, your comments have warmed my heart and made me laugh alone in my apartment in Mladost 1A. I will forever believe that Mladost 1A is the best of the Mladosts and that I have been the luckiest girl to have found all of you.

I'm working part time in a department store right now and one Saturday a customer overheard me tell a co-worker that before moving to Seattle I'd been living in Sofia, Bulgaria. This customer was, of course, a Bulgarian living in Seattle.  We had a 10 minute conversation in Bulgarian. She was very complimentary of my Bulgarian (thanks I. for all of those Bulgarian lessons and to think it all started with your comment on this blog that you'd teach me Bulgarian!). I smiled. What a small, small world.

This is the lesson that writing this blog has taught me over and over: what a wonderful world I live in and just how lucky I am to be exploring and experiencing it. I had no idea six years ago when I took the risk to apply for a Fulbright in Bulgaria how completely and totally my life would change. Now I cannot imagine my life any other way.

So please come and explore my new project and if you like what you'd see, I'd encourage you to stick around.

Much Love,

Karolinka//Каролинка
