            Connected & Hopeful

              “Uncertain times in our home are not new but practice has not made it any easier. Like an unmarked hairpin turn, September 2020 finds me in a different place than I planned.  An 8 week visit to the US as a family ended in August with no viable way to travel back to Asia and […]
