About Me
I am the mother of 3 unbelievably beautiful children, a boy who is 7, a girl who is 5, and a little girl who is 2. Our last child left us before being born. My husband is a tortured genius and one of the best things that ever happened to me. Together we have started a non-profit organization to help refugee orphans from Burma. We plan to move to Thailand this year as part of that. When I started this blog I was "a woman at a crossroads of my function as life-giving, care taking, mother of 3, and my search for significance and purpose that is beyond these functions, or rather, intertwined with them in ways that I have been ill trained by western culture to appreciate." These days I find that I am at peace in this area. Now I just hope I can do my best with the work I have been given to do, and the people I have been trusted with. I understand now that every good thing is a gift. Every breath a miracle. I don't deserve such rich blessings, but they are given nonetheless.
Aren't papier mache cuts the worst?
Especially when you get lemon juice on them.
