“Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.” ~ Henry David Thoreau Oh Mr. Thoreau, how wise you are. I've been out of touch the last few days as my internet connection has been spotty, so I've been unable to write/post anything until now. I'm still in the lovely land of … Continue reading Self-Realizations 3: I Am Not a Grown Up
The fam. So I ripped off the title. Sophia Coppola knew what she was doing when she aptly named her movie. Being half-Malaysian, coming to Malaysia is not my first rodeo.

I think most of you know I was a musician for much of my life... I played the bassoon for five years, the clarinet for thirteen years- traveling with the University of Washington Husky Marching band for three of those years. Guitar for twenty years. And cello in 2013. I love music. I think that … Continue reading The Power of Music

Mr. Sargent was the meanest man alive and if he so much looked at me the wrong way- tears. I would try desperately … Continue reading I Get So Emotional
Self-Realizations two days in a row! Another Self Realization came to me, and I felt was important to share.
