A Year of Almost There
2011 has been a very interesting year for us, and I can say the most common phrase in our home has been “we’re almost there, just keep going, stay positive.” Coming back to Singapore 12 months ago today remains the best decision we’ve ever made, but it was not an easy decision. This is […]
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays
Well it is almost upon us again – and I have no bloody idea where this year went – but I wanted to say Happy Holidays to everyone who reads my blog. I know most of you, but slowly people beyond my circle are reading it too, and I am very grateful for the support. […]
Target Boob-in Scheduled
Perhaps a Global Boycott of ‘Target’ is in Order? A friend from my Boston days, Erica, posted a link today about a “Nurse-In” scheduled to take place at all US Target stores nationwide on December the 28th.

A Couple of God Books

Love as a Universal Concept
There’s a lot being written and talked about these days on the importance of us all loving one another, and accepting that we are not separate, but rather a whole mass of energy that makes up one whole. In relation to love, I think the message is a wonderful thing, but at the same time […]
