Its been a couple weeks – sorry about that. Been reflecting on how to continue this video blog so did half family, then ended it with some ideas on how to go forward – documenting the process!
The Dream Is Getting Closer To Coming True
The struggle is real. I think that is an internet meme I have seen passed around on my Facebook feed – but that often is the case. This blog used to be titled “happiness in pursuit” and that is just it. We are on the move, starting out where our mother is living at the time, given the tools and …
Our Beautiful Aunt Nina Passed Away
The hard thing about being on the other side of the globe is getting Facebook messages in the morning with news like this: Our Aunt Nina has passed away. The funeral will be in Athens, Vermont in March on a Saturday. Life is a journey. Life is a time for us to challenge ourselves, to learn, to meet new people. …

Are you a weekend warrior? Its Saturday morning and a Chinese Holiday (Lantern Festival) and I’m still here doing my morning writing and later my “maker” work sessions. Mornings to me are precious – its when my brain is awake and craving to create. Even if it is a weekend or a holiday – I just need to submit and …

Digital Detox Rocks!
Seriously wish I did this years and years ago. Been kinda dragging along the past year or so with daily alerts and notifications. We are really becoming slaves to our phones, to the internet. Checking our notifications is the biggest addiction. I do come on each day to write, been still growing the parts of the Global From Asia course …

Sneaking in some internet action on my “Digital Detox” to share my amazing daughter’s first year birthday. The snow princess. Born on the coldest day EVER for Shenzhen, China last year – she truly is an ice queen 🙂 We are here in the middle of nowhere Guangdong province. One of those Ghost cities in China that the American news …

Going to Try To Take a Week Off!
Can you believe it? I don’t think it is possible, but the last week of January I am going to try to not check my computer or my phone – at least not too much. It is Chinese New Year anyway, so most of China is on lock down and closed for business. But normally I’m working on website development …

Shipped Our Kid Off To Hometown for Chinese New Year
Much quieter here in my morning writing session. Productivity will go up – but up, but missing the little dude already. We sent Miles up with his grandpa to my wife’s hometown for Chinese New Year. My wife wanted all of us to go, but between financial, business sense, and it is so COLD up there, we decided instead to …
You know you’ve been in China too long when……
Good one I’ve sen going around Wechat groups today – sharing here on the blog for the records 😉 A bunch of these I am guilty of…. “knowing when you’ve been in China too long”…. 1. You’re at an expensive western restaurant and don’t even notice the guy at the next table yelling into his cell phone 2. You enjoy …
2017 Is The Beginning of a New Cycle
Its a New Year – What’s the Plan? I’m really so excited for this year. One cool thing I heard from my friend QY on her Facebook is we are at the beginning of a new “cycle” (cycle of what, I’m not too sure) – but here it goes: 2016 = 2 + 0 + 1 + 6 = 9 …
