So much to process after living in the jungle. How does one come home from a journey like ours and assimilate back?
The Langur monkeys did not show up our last morning to say goodbye. They had come almost every day until our last week. They were either entertainment or headache. And yet, they were always [...]
I want to thank all of you for sharing your rich wisdom with me on how to deal with the culture shock of being home. Your tips are not only brilliant, but they validate the part of me that is longing for our jungle home and curious monkeys.
I’ve been looking at the images from our [...]
We are home.
I must admit, I have a bag of mixed emotions as I type those three words. I cried the whole way home, and the WHOLE way was 17 hours of flight time. Don’t be surprised if I find myself processing with all of you this week.
In the meantime, we’ve got mail. [...]
Thai people LOVE children. In fact, just that statement feels like an understatement. You have to experience it to see how intense their love for children is. For example, Brian and I will be walking with the kids, and Thai people will walk right up to Blaze with big smiles. They’ll squat down to Blaze’s [...]
Our Thailand time is coming to an end. But there are a few more posts I have to do for you! And then I’ll need to make a serious Thailand slideshow so you can see all the images I never got to post on the blog.
If you were to ask Pascaline what her favorite memory [...]
We are overwhelmed by the response we got for the Running on Empty contest. You are all such amazing, strong women. Your stories inspire me and so many others–you have no idea.
The contest is officially closed. We hope to have the three winners posted by this weekend. Stay tuned!
We are also back home–to our Thai [...]
Brian and I have been reading some of the submissions as they come in, and we are both moved by your honesty and passion. I’m also proud of those who are nominating themselves. As women, we can struggle with self worth and the idea of deserving a gift. Whether you’ve suffered trauma or not, if [...]
Once we were done with our passports, feeling safe and sound, we moved on to start our Homestay.
Why did we do a Homestay? Why engage in Ecotourism?
Brian and I wanted our kids to experience Thailand on a handful of levels that were beyond a “vacation”. We chose to stay in one place for a majority [...]
We’ve been offline for the last few days because we’ve been out of internet range on a CRAZY and somewhat SCARY adventure!
This week’s adventure was instigated by the need to do a VISA run. What do I mean by a VISA run?
When we came to Thailand, we were all given a 30 day visa. On [...]
Can you believe we’ve been here almost 30 days?! It doesn’t seem possible that four weeks have already come and gone. If the trip ended today, we would go home with so many life long lessons and memories. It’s been wonderful to stay in one place for this long. I feel like we’ve begun to [...]
Sign Up and be Entered in the Sony DSLR Camera Giveaway Contest!
Got a call yesterday to fly out TODAY for an amazing project. (It’s not the Oprah Winfrey Show, but it is that level of AMAZING.)
Can’t say where I’m going or what it’s about. When I get the green light, you’ll know. But even though I can’t share details, you can [...]
A NEW Seattle CONFIDENCE Photography Workshop for Women Opens Today! Coming May 15th and 16th 2010!!
Given the recent scare about Me Ra and Pascaline’s health in Thailand it seems crazy to announce another workshop but here we are! She and Pascaline have been resting a LOT and still need to but I heard she made it to the beach today. Sweet! Although I don’t think [...]
