    We finally made some time to get away for a few days. Friends of ours agreed to housesit for us to take care of the cats and pups. Although we could have taken the puppies, it was easier to and nicer to have them safe at home with people we know. Based on recommendations, we…

    For as long as I can remember I have been a Star Trek fan. I’m sure my father had something to do with igniting my interest that has lasted through the many variations of Star Trek over the years. Recently, I have been watching Discovery and Picard while I do my freelance work. Obviously, watching…

    Well, we are in Italy 🇮🇹 again. I am not yet ready to update on the settling process; it will be coming soon as there has been some progress, but the art of learning to be patient continues to be the school of life. Either way, I will soon be graduating 👩‍🎓 or dropping out…

    It’s true that I have a critical view of the world and people. I probably should have trained to become a judge 👩🏽‍⚖️ as I hold individuals, including myself, to a high moral standard. Also, I am a constant observer, analyst, and commentator on human behavior. Often, this comes out as harsh, arrogant, and not…

    Summer heat and being on guard for the potential blood-sucking fire starters on my skin keeps me from my usual blissful eight hours of subconscious escape these days. In the early morning hours when my mind is not quite exhausted, yet not fully present, I find my thoughts drift in and out of relived conversations.…

    There’s a vibe that wafts of creativity and reverberates an awakening deep within the soul. The inner creative envies the artistic skill of those who can draw the lines that reflect the curves and personality of an individual. Yet, at the same time one is inspired to weave together words and phrases that can similarly…

    In 2016, I decided to quit my job because I was at a breaking point and I was under the naive impression that being newly married meant that my husband would take care of me. Without going into too much detail, that delusion was more of a nightmare of grandeur. Thankfully, my stubborn character did…

    Generally, I limit my social media interactions. For the longest time, I thought it was just because I do not care so much about what is going on in other people’s lives that I need to be updated regularly. However, just as its use has evolved, so has my reasoning for why I’m bothered by…

    An entire month has passed as my attention has been divided and my words have drifted in the blank spaces of my mind. Where has my attention been? Well… I’ve just released the third issue of The Universal Asian. It’s growing in readership and content, which gives me a sense of satisfaction and conviction that…

    There is a thing called personal space. The amount required depends on the person, culture, etc. I have gotten used to having less of it through living in Japan 👥 where this concept is a luxury even if on a person to person basis people would like more of it. The other day, I knew…
