_Does This Church Make Me Look Fat?_ by Rhoda Janzen
_Does This Church Make Me Look Fat?_ by Rhoda Janzen Quite some time ago, I read Rhoda Janzen’s first book _Mennonite in a Little Black Dress_ and was quite entertained. A former colleague, college-mate and friend of mine edited these books, so I always am interested in reading her edited novels. Also, since I had…

Mental Health Day
So, yesterday, I called (wrote) in ‘sick’. Strangely, when I said that I had a migraine, I thought I felt one coming on and was worried that I actually was going to spend the day with a headache. However, thankfully it passed. It’s been quite a while since I took a day off that didn’t…

Latino Carnaval 2013
My Mexican friend, P often invites me to the Latin community’s events, but this is the first time I agreed to go. While I had expected a bit more craziness and partying, it was more conservative. Perhaps the location and country kept things tame. 🙂 So, we had a good time. The music was nice…

Equality For All?
So, I came up with a new URL name and will mull it over before checking to see if it is taken or not. It may become my new blog site title for when I finish my doctorate and have more time to write on topics I really want to cover… Adoptee Philosophy…still giving it…

Space…
The final frontier…these are the voyages of…a crazy Korean adoptee living in foreign lands in search of her sanity…. Random? Yes, indeed. I’m away at a conference in Dubai. I left early so that I could leave early. Somehow I stayed longer than I would have liked, but mostly due to catching up with friends…

On the Edge…
Whenever I hear Lady Gaga’s song, “The Edge of Glory” I somehow feel like it’s talking about my life mantra. I am always looking for the next best thing because I am somehow dissatisfied with my current state. It is probably my own state of mind that I should be looking to improve, but in…

Spring = Flowers
Now, I’m not really the kind of girl that requires a man to bring her flowers. That’s not to say I don’t love it when it happens, but as R is not the romantic type, bringing me flowers is not on his list of things to do. Luckily, I don’t mind buying my own flowers…

My Best Friend!
Not everyone is lucky enough to meet someone with a kindred spirit, but I definitely am. It is hard to believe that we met nearly 18 years ago and have been the bestest of friends ever since. We have truly been through just about every major event in someone’s life – marriage, births and deaths….…

Returning to the Hamster Wheel
For some reason I took a bit of a break from working out regularly – or at least cardio workouts. I somehow got tired of the treadmill and convinced myself that I could make do without it. Instead, I joined Pilates and Yoga classes that are offered in my building. However, they don’t do enough…
