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.
As I move out of my professional halftime, I’m excited to embark on my next journey. As of 9/9/2020, the book is available for pre-order and my new job starts at McCann China.

Highlights from Utah
We loved Utah! Just sharing a few highlights below. The Utah-based novel we listened to was Wild Bird, and we loved exploring this gorgeous wilderness! This was Laini's photo for the map project - gorgeous! https://youtu.be/3sk8yA2Hxkg Minki took this - these trees...
Mobile Biosphere Day 11: Fighting Acedia
Thomas Aquinas identified acedia with “the sorrow of the world.” Weighty stuff! Oxford dictionary defines acedia as “a state of restlessness and inability to work.” Sound familiar to anyone? Surely, we must be particularly vulnerable to spiritual or mental apathy...
Books by state
As one of our family road rules, we agreed to listen to an audio book set in each state we visit. As the path has changed each day, we're a little off schedule. For instance, we didn't want to pass up on some great literature just because California closed! So for...
