It has been a busy couple of months! Let’s catch up shall we? January Peter was in China for most of the month so I had time to focus on my work and my health.

Christmas was a little different this year. Instead of having family over at our house, we went to see our families in Sarasota and Ft. Myers instead! Last Sunday we celebrated Christmas with my dad’s side of the family in Sarasota. On Monday we drove down to Ft. Myers to spend Christmas Eve with my … More It’s Christmas Time in Ft. Myers…
It feels so good to be home. I mean check out this sunset from my first night back in Florida: You just don’t get this in Penang. The past week or so has been an absolute whirlwind but I’ve loved every second of it. It all started when I was upgraded to business class on my … More A Whirlwind Week Back Home
Greetings from Penang! After 3 days on this island I am finally getting an idea of where I am and what I will be doing. Penang is unlike any place I have ever visited before and I cannot wait to see more. After initial homesickness and questions of “what am I doing here?”, I finally … More Italy: Basilica di Superga
Sorry for the long post last night. I meant to write something short about Holly’s passing but the words and tears just kept on flowing.

Somewhere off the coast of Japan there was a boat. And on this boat there were a lot of Chinese people and few Americans.

Little did they know a spectacular sight awaited them just beyond … More Day 277: Somewhere in Between
It happened. I saw the “glow” here in China. What is the “glow” you ask? It is moment of beauty, grace, and in-between.
