The Present
I launched this site in the midst of my “professional halftime,” in Fall 2019. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I took the summer off to invest in my family (last year, we moved back to the States after eight years in China) and to write a book.

The Spare Room kid who inspired this tattoo
When she first entered our home, her feet were coated with a thick, fuzzy layer of fungus that creeped up her ankles and wrapped around her lower calves. Lotus wore the same rank-smelling clothes every, single day. After all, she didn't take showers, so what was the...
